How "hard and what conditions" you use the truck will determine when the fluid needs to be changed. If you max the truck out pulling at limits with a camper, change it sooner than someone who uses it hardly at all. That's the advantage of a dip stick for the transmission, you see what the...

I do the opposite of what you are suggesting. I currently am running Cooper AT3 4S, and I have no complaints at all. I run 40lb's in them, and they did just fine last winter here in the midwest. In the brunt of the summer heat I drop them to 36lb's, as they can heat up pretty fast on the hot...

I saw another discussion about jacks the other day here somewhere. This style was mentioned, never saw a rig like this and it has some merit to it. Summit Racing has some similar jacks. I like the idea of a jack and jack stand in one unit. Amazon.com: Powerbuilt 3 Ton, Bottle Jack and Jack...

I think a couple of Calvin & Hobbes bumper stickers would be perfect, the wisdom of those two are above all of us mere mortals.

Cooper AT3 4S. I have a set on mine, couldn't be more pleased. Didn't kill the gas mileage, handle very well, quiet for an AT tire. Walked thru the snow and ice last winter without complaint. Rainey roads don't matter. They do OK off road, but they are not rock crawler, extreme mud tires...

It does sound lower than it should be, but you still have a green engine. Mine finally got significantly better around 12, 000 miles. Traffic in Poway can be a mixed bag. My son was stationed in San Diego and I had a good friend live in Poway. Some more details about how your truck is set up...

Digital gauges are like digital anything when it first arrives. It takes some adjustment on the user part. A dial indicator for example. When I see the needle swing that movement gives me more of a reference than some numbers changing in front of my eyes. A digital watch. If i know I have...

My thoughts exactly. Well said.

I'm perfectly happy with my 3.21 gears . . . . . . . . . cause they are still on the shelf at the factory. I like my 3.92 gears right where they are, in the rear end of my truck where they belong. I like the way it drives. Grateful to have a choice in the matter.

Your are one tough customer lol! Have you tried a razor blade to scape it off? From your video looks as if something is "on" the glass and not pitted into it. Do your finger tips tell you anything about the surface? I once got an older truck spattered with overspray from staining a deck. I...

Have you tried vinegar and hot water? Another product that I use is "Invisible Glass" A company by the name of Stoner makes it. I find it in the auto section in Walmart, Target and the like. The stuff flat works . Before clear coat, we used to use 1/3 vinegar, 1/3 alcohol, and 1/3 hot...

Necessity is the all time Mother of Invention, where is a will there is always a way. A good friend of mine, who was a Mopar guy from Way back, advised when in doubt just back up until it sounds expensive. . . . . . . . . YMMV, mine does!

Lots to be said for plain old stress busters. Glad it worked for you. John Q Public is not getting any more respectful, considerate, or smarter these days. What's happened to your truck is just plain wrong. Ask around for a good PDR tech in your area, the blemish can be repaired. I've...

Wether or not you rotate the tires yourself or, have it done at a tire shop. It pays to re-torque them a second time about a 100 miles later with a torque wrench.

Take a look at the Cooper AT3/4S. They are a severe snow rated tire. I put on a set last fall, 275/55R/20, to replace the OEM Duelers. No complaints with the Coper's. I live in the midwest and they have handled everything I've encountered without fail. One thing to consider is the...

I consider operating conditions, mileage and time of year. Is it diety looking on the stick? In your present circumstance I would change the oil before you go assuming you have had this oil thru the winter. It's full of cold starts, condensation, and excess fuel from cold starts/warm ups. All...

I chose the Cooper AT3 4S as well. They are a little lighter in weight than most other AT tires. They ride and handle just fine. You might get a slight increase in gas mileage. For my money and purposes, they are a great choice for me.

Another source might be the spare tire. It looks OK at first glance. Make sure it is fully inflated and snugged up tight on the cable. One of those things we all ignore until we don't, because we need it, and it's about as flat as the other flat on the truck. Over time they will drop a few...

I had that happen about 3 trucks ago. Bought it new, failed at less than 20,000 miles. Only happened at start up, blue smoke. Turned out to be bad seals on the valve guides. Pulled the heads, changed the seals problem solved. Do you see any oil in the radiator, or radiator reservoir? That...

It might be just a little spilled oil burning off from the assembly process.
