If it is set to B+ feed, yes. If not, move the fuse over.

Why wouldn't you? I've never pulled a trailer with mine but I use tow/haul all the time. On easy uphills it stops hunting between gears. On downgrades it does more compression braking. In no way does it interfere with top speed or lock out any gears.

Unless you have a pressing need for B+ on your cigarette lighter, just switch the fuse over to the Key-on side and use a small spade terminal in the now-empty B+ slot. Or find a B+ fuse underdash and use a piggyback tap, something like this Robot or human?

That filter in the lid is part of the evaporative emissions controls. Any residual gasoline in the intake or the crankcase are supposed to get captured in the carbon bed. Then when the engine is running, the airflow carries it off to be burned. That filter doesn't need to be replaced. Unless...

No. It's working as designed.

That's the antilock brakes doing self tests.

Hey!

Tire balance usually shows up in about a 10 mph window, and almost always at an inconveneient speed... so 62-72 or something like that. Slower is better and faster is better. Front tires will cause the truck to shake and the steering wheel to shimmy. Rears may just show up as seat of the pants...

Me, too. It worked really good to remove all the plasticizer haze from the dashboard curing so I have continued to use it.

If you ever remove the tailgate, it covers the plugs that you unplugged. I suspect it prevents the BCM from going nuts and sticking all kinds of messages on the dash about tailgate ajar and camera not found and so on.

That looks like coolant residue. Probably dripping down from the water pump.

Mine always reads high when I first start it, if it's a hot day. That's because the sensor is inside the driver outside mirror, and mine is black. After a few minutes driving it settles down and reads correct. Or not, Sometimes it never updates from when the truck was shut off. And then after a...

I'd suspect the battery first. There are countless posts here wherein a "tested good" battery caused all kinds of electrical gremlins. Second thing I'd check (and it's not something easily done at home) is alternator pattern aka diode test. There are three sets of diodes and if one goes bad...

I dunno.... I could see going through a dip or a pothole or something and having it fly out onto the floor. And then me shifting around and crushing it with my heel. Or having it bounce under the seat in some spot where human hands won't reach. I'll leave my key in my pocket.
