Looking forward to what your impressions of the truck will be. Enjoy the truck.

After some thought and a discussion with the body shop I have used for years when I need one, I did seal the top of my rear window with some flowable caulk. The truck was out of the 3 year warranty when I did it. Then shortly after, I saw where the warranty was extended for this problem for...

My 19 is heated only not cooled. The girls to the left love it in the winter time.

In older houses sometimes the line between the foundation and sill plate wasn't very tight. It allowed mice to get in the winter. I stuffed the gaps with course steel wool from the outside and then foamed from the inside. They won't chew on the steel wool. Maybe you can wrap the hose in...

Intermittent troubles like you describe are a nightmare. I know I had a truck like that. Turns out it was a bad ground on the frame from the fuse box mounted on the driver's side wheel well. It had it's own ground. You might consider checking your grounding points. I have read a couple of...

What about the NOCO charger's. I use a 5 amp charger once a month on both the car and truck batteries to keep them fully charged. Small town living, lots of short drives. What got my attention was they seem to be an all in one charger. Regular acid battery, AGM, Lithium. They are said to...

How old is the battery? Is it still good. A bad cell in the battery can cause mischief. Check to make sure all of your grounds are good. There are several along each fender in the engine bay. Pull the top off of the fuse box. I have read of a couple posts where the main terminal connections...

At -30 I wouldn't even start, I'm sure the truck would, but not me these days. Retirement does give one a few choices. Sorry you had to be out in it.

That makes sense. Thank you.

Both cowl drains and AC drain are draining. Poured a couple bucks of water down the windshield, watched it run out behind the mud flaps. A little heavier out the driver's side, but these trucks lean that way a little anyway. Went back thru the car wash and pulled the cabin filter, it's dry...

I've got 2, 1/2 inch breaker bars, long ones, with a short extension and the right size deep wall impact socket for the lug nuts on each car and truck. I carry one 1 in each vehicle all the time. They make short work of a stubborn lug nut, are not battery dependent. Money well spent and much...

I wanted to just clean up the cabin filter this afternoon and found it looking like this on the top side of it. At first I thought it might be the windshield washer fluid, but there is no signs of leakage around the fittings under the hood. The nozzles work as they should. The antifreeze is...

If you are running your AC. First I would check to see the drain tube is open on the firewall that drains the condensate from the AC. Simplest fix for you I hope. Is your truck frame sitting level with your travel trailer hooked? If it is tilted back, it may not be able to drain as well as...

I ran across this video awhile back. It shows you what is behind the rear seat without having to tear everything apart. It was the grommets in the floor pan that got my attention. With todays adhesives why would any sane engineer poke a hole in the floor pan to hold a piece of whatever that...

My question would be which tire size is the truck calibrated to?
