    No running lights on trailer

    Assuming you're talking about the 7 way plug? The test plug is showing the parking circuit dead as well? Remove trailer light tester and test the pin for parking lights directly inside the 7 way with a volt meter or 12v test probe. Most likely it's the plug on the truck. The pins have been...

    Broken PCM plug. Now what?

    Sometimes, some forward pressure is required on the connector body while rotating the cam release lever. Have seen this happen quite a bit. You can remesh the gear back into the connector body most of the time despite the pin being sheared off. This one looks like a 50/50 shot. Gear is...

    Best Tactical Flashlight to Keep in Truck

    We do not talk about jar club. Pretty big fan of Streamlights. Picked up a couple of the Stinger 2020 models. Great light output and also has a low and strobe mode. Strobe is strong enough to give someone a mild seizure at a decent range. Mounted the vehicle charging base in the rear of...

    Rear defrost not working

    As stated above, most likely it's between the defroster tab and the glass. Had exact same issue with mine. Simple repair, but a special adhesive with a high metallic content is required.

    A/C pulley seized. Compressor or clutch?

    Should still be able to spin compressor by hand if the clutch is engaged (with no belt). Would be nice if it's just a piece of belt wedged behind the compressor pulley causing the bind. Or....most likely internal compressor failure. At this point, your system can be contaminated with...

    Not yet. Been working solo at the shop and got a crazy job offer that I cant say no to. Been busy dealing with all of that. After 30 years, I'm getting out of automotive and going into pharma. Will be a process engineer and sub maint tech. Make **** and keep **** running. Haha. I'm excited!

    found a way to try and prevent catalytic converter theft

    My truck sits inside of a fence most evenings. Connected to that same fence is a cattle fence charger which has a picture of an upside down cow on fire printed on the cover. I've tested it and it f'n hurts.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    Highway + propane = cold beer at campsite.

    Latest software

    I'm in the same boat. Called Uconnect and said being the older version that I'm on, it won't receive the necessary over the air update. Dealer visit required. Most likely an hour charge. Call and ask your dealer. They may squeeze ya in.

    New to truck world...new to towing.

    Haha. Thanks! Best movie ever. I went the adjustable hitch route years ago. Broke bad and bought individual hitches for some of the toys. Hated having to fiddle around with it. Of course, if no wdh is being used, they do have their advantages.

    New to truck world...new to towing.

    After towing anything of significant weight, I'll never not tow without a WDH. Why? Traffic sucks. So do cell phone road zombies. Plus, as mentioned above, having a WDH looks a lot better on an insurance claim if you were to get into an accident.

    Active Air Dam Warranty Letter from FCS

    Removed mine as well after going rounds and rounds with corporate. After they denied everything, the warranty extension happened literally a few weeks later. Doubt I get it replaced. More room for train horns now. :)

    windshield is getting wet and wind noise

    1 vote for incorrect install. My used truck had aftermarket glass when I purchased it. Installer did a wee wee poor job as the glass was improperly positioned and also lacked sealant coverage in multiple locations. Multiple water leaks at top of glass and lots of wind noise across the...

    I apologize as I told you the wrong method. On your display and at the same time, press and hold the two icons at the bottom left and bottom right of the screen for a few seconds. You'll hear a quick beep and a menu will appear. Tap system information. Tap radio part information. There is...
