I hate to ask this because I know it's floating around somewhere, but I need some direction on narrowing down the blinker wires in the cab. I have a set of 4th gen mirrors from 1A that I'm trying to put on the truck right now and have not had much luck in narrowing down the blinkers. Any help is appreciated. Truck is an 01.

I got my auto meter pyrometer installed today in my big Massey... the one with the 903 Cummins.Just like the instructions said, it buzzes when the gauge sweeps up and down (auto calibration). But, today was around 30 degrees outside, and the gauge said it was 300-400, with a stone cold engine.I didn't want to fire up the engine (takes too much fuel just to hear it run, and it wasn't plugged in either).Do these things need some time to 'learn' the curve? or do I have a dud?

I cannot locate in the FSM what the stock ride height should be, and by that I mean from frame to axle as that won't change with tire size. Can someone out there measure for me, or know what it's supposed to be? The previous owner had a snow plow on this truck, had 36k pound tags, and clearly used the gooseneck a LOT. I have tight suspension and recently had an alignment done, but the truck still drives weird. My frame to axle dimensions are different from passenger to driver's side. Considering a new set of front springs, but open to suggestions. I have not checked the rubber isolator in the last 50k miles, but was there when I changed the shocks - obviously …

Tried epoxy to fix my broken tabs x3 on my pillar. Worked well till I parked truck outside and come back later to see it not attached anymore . Gonna try one more time to secure it, but I need to start looking for a new A pillar. Any thoughts, comments, advise on picking up a new one? If this mask BS goes away maybe go to a junk yard, but around here might not be so lucky. Rather see if some company had them NIB I could get.

I have a rather rambunctious dog, an Australian Shepherd. I worry about her kicking my rig into gear when I idle it for a short stop. What is it about a 3rd gen that requires your foot to be on the brake pedal in order to take the transmission out of park? Any ideas? I've got a low stall torque converter and the truck will go 10-12 mph at idle. Could be bad!!!

Anyone know a good electrical person in North Georgia or the Chattanooga area? While running starter ( 20sec on, 2 min off) to bleed fuel lines, I ended up with electrical odor and light smoke in cab! I would imagine that dealership is going to be super expensive on this one. Thanks,Eric

Has anyone tried this? I’ve gotten spoiled by the heated steering wheel in my other vehicles, thought it might be worth trying this. I can see this seemingly simple install turning into a days long mess with an airbag exploding in my face. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385302567206?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WFiKetqqRxu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Ipl8lieISy-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi everyone. Need some opinions on my ABS issue. Some history. The chip in my abs module went bad. Sent it to rebuilder in the states. Got it back installed and worked good for a month. Started getting random ccd bus errors. Disconnected abs module and all guages came back. I know the issue is abs related. Ohm test abs sensors all looks good. Is it possibly a bad soldier in the board? Any suggestions?

Over the weekend I had my truck jacked up and was spinning both the front tires trying to find a noise. Tonight when I checked my codes I had a P0500 speed sensor error code. I checked my manual and on the 02 the speed sensor is under the front wheel hubs. My question is would having the front wheels off the ground & spinning the tires make it throw this error code?

Just installed the Rock Solid bushing today and wanted to share my thoughts. After repairing my seized steering shaft I went through the directions and started the install. Instructions were detailed and helpful. I performed the install on the truck and found it easier to remove left front tire and fender skirt. After that it was pretty straightforward. I did make a longer installer out of pvc pipe so that I could drive it in from the fender well. The results are very good. No more rattling column and steering is tight. All in all it was a good investment of time and money.

Each time I've had a windshield replaced I've had leaks so is there anything I should watch out for with these glass shops? Perhaps go to a body shop instead? This break happened on my nice 90,000 mile second gen. It's a nice clean truck well maintained so I want it done right. Are there ways to do the job better on a second gen that I should know about? What to ask etc.?
