    Click sound from ignition key assembly

    Mike, What you’re hearing is the actuator that keeps you from turning the key to the off position so that it cannot be removed while in any other gear but park. Mine has started making that noise as well. Not sure what to replace yet, but it is still doing its job. Just being noisy now.

    ABS light supposed to flash when it’s in operation?

    Thanks. Pedal definitely responds when it’s active. I just thought I remembered it tripping on when it’s actually operating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ABS light supposed to flash when it’s in operation?

    When you’re in something slick like mud and brake to the point to where abs is supposed to kick on, is the abs light supposed to flash or anything just while it’s working? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tires wearing on outside

    Looking for input. My front tires are wearing much more on the outside than inside. Dealership said just needed a rotation. Had a buddy tell me that these trucks wear like that because of the extra weight in the front and turning. I’m not so sure. Anyone else experiencing this? Stock tires with...

    Gunk in coolant fill neck

    Will that stuff work if I put it in the reservoir? My radiator doesn’t have a cap like the old style does for whatever dumb reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunk in coolant fill neck

    Great. Six gallons. Purchased two 8oz containers. Can’t wait to see the results. I’m going to run it for five hundred miles and probably go ahead and change out the antifreeze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunk in coolant fill neck

    I drew some antifreeze out of the reservoir today. The antifreeze looks okay, but there are some particles of gunk suspended in it. I think a flush is definitely due. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunk in coolant fill neck

    Thanks. I’ll change it. Regardless of whether I plan to keep it or pass it on, it’ll be taken care of while I have it. [emoji1307] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunk in coolant fill neck

    Is this anything to be concerned about? Just a little gunk in the fill neck. Have about 22,000 on the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heavy Hauling Question

    Awesome. I’ll ask for the update. Not doing airbags. I don’t haul often enough to justify the cost. I’m also not so sure how they would hold up to the farm!

    Heavy Hauling Question

    When I experienced this condition, I also had the exhaust brake system on. I don't think that would make much difference though.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    A friend of mine told me it sounds like I need a bigger truck. I am almost in agreement with him.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I have tried feathering off the accelerator. Don't want to do too much of that with a heavy load going up hill though. I have the ability to lock out gears on my gearshifter, but have not tried that.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I would agree with you about expecting too much, but it seems to do the same type of thing when I'm hauling my ranger on a 14 ft tandem trailer. I can floor it and it will accelerate, but not downshift. This is at about 50/55 mph and not high rpms.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I'm not losing speed, but I'm not gaining either. I do have tow/haul on.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I want to say that it was in the 2-3k rpm range. It concerned me because no matter how hard I stomp down at that point, it does not accelerate any noticeable amount. I'd like to believe I could pass someone going up hill with a load if I wanted to. It would not have happened with this one.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I wish it was a more common issue. I have always chalked it up to torque management. When it wouldn't downshift running up the hill last weekend, I thought it may be more than that. Do you lock out sixth gear when towing?

    Heavy Hauling Question

    Did it have the 68RFE transmission?

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I should add, I've experienced the same type of condition hauling my ranger (probably less than 5k total weight) on the bumper. It pulls it fine, but when I lean into the throttle it doesn't downshift. It just keeps accelerating (slowly) in that same gear.

    Heavy Hauling Question

    Need some input from you guys who haul often. I had a gooseneck hooked to my truck last week and the total load (including trailer) was around 15/16k. It pulled it fine except for a few times going up some steep-ish hills. Going up the hill it would maintain speed, but not accelerate or...
