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?

No. Not something I want to do as long as I can find a way to avoid it. I'm out of the original bumper tp bumper warranty. Even if I was still in the warranty I still would avoid it if possible.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MA9DQBE This is what I put in my truck first summer I had it. No issues with it to date. I don't completely close it off, about 3/4 of the way. Don't need to use it until we get into the brunt of the summer like now. I usually leave the temp set where I want it...

I like the look and utility of the wheel to wheel style. Much easier to clean the back glass and they keep a few more rock chips at bay a little longer.

Take a look at Autogeek.com They have a full line of polishers from entry level to pro. I've found their sales staff to be knowledgable about the products they represent. I bought a Porter Cable random orbit polisher long ago, it's till going strong, over 10 years old. Use it on 3 vehicles...

IF you are pulling a trailer often in excess of 5000lbs. Are you in extreme heat or cold conditions? How hard do you drive the truck. All things to consider. Light duty use and reasonable driving, 60K is a good number to keep in mind.

What we have is the Supreme Grandmaster Cobbler of all time. You just have to respect those two with their imagination and abilities.

You can't hurt anything by changing the oil. You can hurt yourself if you don't. How often you change the oil depends on how hard you drive the truck, in what conditions and how well you want to maintain the truck. I'm in the change the oil camp and drive the truck within reason.

This brought back a memory and a smile for me. First time I ever drove a truck, I was 12 years old with my Grandfather out on a gravel country road. Was doing alright, 53 Chevy, 3 on the tree. Came around a banked curve with a washboard in it. Truck went sideways and I kept on the road OK...

Might be the parking brake setting itself automatically when you turn it off. You can shut that feature off in the settings, then listen to see if that stops what you are hearing

Sorry to hear of your engine shelling out on you, that would be disappointing to say the least. Sounds like the wheels are in motion to replace it. Glad to hear you were able to sail a dead brick across 5 lanes of traffic on I80 in rush hour, unscathed except for a few dozen nerve endings...
