    Thanks for posting on there stodg73 as I am not a member of that forum. Really do appreciate it. Well, it's a good thing I haven't purchased my friends 9mm yet. I probably would have gone out head hunting. I felt so disrespected... It's unexplainable, the feeling. Especially to have something you really care about just taken from you like that. I don't know why I haven't done this but one of my friends uncle has a camera on each pillar of his range rover. He has it setup somehow to where if the key isnt in the ignition and the door is opened it starts recording. That would be an awesome thing to do. Can you imagine thieves going "Why isn't this thing starting?" doing every possible thing to start it. Little do they know they need the cigarette lighter to start it. That wuld be awesome!! Plug in the cigarette lighter, you freakin' Douchebag!

    That's the weird part. There's no evidence of broken glass, or anything. One thing is for sure; I won't retrieve it with wheels on it. Hate is a pretty big word, and I can honestly say I hate thieves, and I hate the person who only wishes to have what I have and will go as far as stealing shi* to get it. I don't understand... why couldn't he have asked for the wheels, stereo, engine, or whatever he wants. I would have politely said "sure!"... Freakin' douchebags!

    Yes. It's the one in my profile picture. I agree, I could have seriously murked someone when I first realized my truck was gone. Maybe It's the Honda thieves; maybe they need a truck with balls to pull their stupid little ricer cars. I seriously don't know what I would do If I found out who it was. Yea, i was thinking about doing that. I'm more worried because I had important information in there containing bank information and my social security number. I don't even know who to contact about this. You seriously should while you have the chance. I'd hate to see another one of our members see their truck gone.

    I'm so pissed off right now!! I get home from work and realize my truck is not where I last parked it. I run in the house hoping to see my extra key gone and maybe my brother has it, or my mom or my dad. To my misfortune, they are here... I filed a police report and now sit here and wonder, where could it be and who's the *ucking slob that has my truck!! That truck was my everything, I just hope I get her back in one piece...
  5. That explains why I have such shi**y mileage.
  6. Cheapest diesel I found was at $4.03. Gassers still got us beat in the denver area @ $3.61 for 85. What a joy if diesel was $3.61.
  7. The hub/bearing have been replaced before? there was anti-seize on them?
  8. That's good to hear man. Glad you were able to take them out. Hope they last you a long time!
  9. I used a 1/2" drive extension with the 14mm 12 point socket on the bolt. The trick is to take off the bolts and use one with the extension and socket of course to wedge it against the frame as you turn the wheel. Wedge the extension slightly by giving it slight tugs in order to break it free. Do this by swapping out the bolt to every threaded hole of the hub for every 1/4 of a tug as it's starting to slowly come out. I made the mistake of only backing out the bolts halfway and leaving them on there as I wedged the extension each time. My dad noticed them on there and said "stop what you're doing, your gonna stretch out those threads". If it weren't for him, I would have probably damaged those bolts. I completely forgot about them. Once you start to drive it out as your wedging it out it'll come out very easily. Hope this helps. --- Update to the previous post... How is the repair going?
  10. I got that same exact hub/bearing your talking about last week. It comes with an integrated ABS sensor. Mine was the same price for the same brand. After everything was said and done, I paid $180 for it. Made for installing it way much easier, and took only about 15 minutes then slappin the brakes and wheel on right after.
  11. Alright, someting is going on and I don't like it. Yesterday, I went over to a friends house to clear the codes on my truck. He plugged in and his scanner said the truck didn't have any codes. We plugged and unplugged about three times till I finally said just clear the codes anyway, as if there were. He did and to my surprise the codes got cleared. So today when I got home from work, I decided to cycle the ignition three times to see if any codes would pop up. Amazingly yes, and the same codes I had before were yet again present. My ABS and Brake lights aren't on anymore, but I'm still getting the P0500 and P1693 DTC's. Running the truck for however long to clear the codes isn't going to work because I have already cleared them and have the same re-ocurring issue; I would assume that's out of the question. Could the problem lie on the passenger side hub/bearing/sensor? But if that was so, wouldn't I also have an ABS and Brake light issue like previously before? What do you guys think problem is here? What am I missing or doing wrong?
  12. How long have you had yours dripley? Wow, someone told you to cut ECM wires... That's not even the last thing you wanna do.
  13. Putting on your seatbelt to turn off that dang light sure does make ya feel like a safer motorist.
  14. I need to clear the codes from the repair I made first. I'm hoping it won't pop up again after learing the codes but if it does, I'm guessing it's gonna be due to lack of pressure/lubrication. I never did add 2 cycle or 2 stroke -- whatever it's called to the fuel. I knew I would regret it later on down the road.
  15. That page is very helpful. That guy knows his injection pumps! According to the page, it says I won't need to replace the injection pump immediately as he is "absolutely positively sure it will not cause any driveablility issues". I hope it last me long enough to save up the funds and replace it before it completely fails. I don't trust it, as there is already an issue with it and it can only get worse with time. Time to do some window shoppin' in the mean time... Just curious, how hard it is to swap out the injection pump? Has anyone on here done it before? Thanks, Russ!
  16. So, I have repaired the front axle ABS sensor/hub/bearing or whatever you wanna call it, and have yet another pending DTC. P0126 -- not one I'm pleaseantly happy to see. I have little money to make it into next week, due to the repair I just made. Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there any way to keep the Injection pump from failing completely. I just need it to last me long enough so I can save up the funds to purchase a new one, seeing as how they aren't cheap. Anyone got an extra pump laying around?
  17. Problem solved. Good thing I didn't make the trip to the dealership to check out the light. I saved myself $47 just now. I was actually gonna head out overthere after my trip to the bank.
  18. I'm sure I plugged everything in. I'm too anal to let anything slide. I want everything running how it's suppose to be, if not, better and don't want other lights on the dash other than what is suppose to be lit. Im fixing to go outside and double check everything and lay on the the wet pavement (rained lastnight). I'm gonna get to the bottom of this!! --- Update to the previous post... I cleaned out the ABS connector and plugged it back in. Drove to the bank to withdraw some money and both ABS and BRAKE light turned off. Had to have been the connection between the plugs -- damn plugs! It's amazing how much grief a connector will give ya. Thanks again everyone!
  19. What's J/A lvl 5 and 6? Could you be a bit more specific? Do you have any codes? Sometimes a defective APPS causes surging and presents P0121 and P0122 codes.
  20. Moparman, how do you know the DTC P0500 is a front axle sensor and not a rear axle sensor? The code states no vehicle speed sensor is present; this can be from either or and shouldn't necessarily rule out the rear axle sensor right? I'm only asking because my ABS and brake light are staying lit after having replaced the drivers side hub/bearing. The assembly came with the integrated abs sensor and was simple plug and play. As for the passenger side hub/bearing and ABS sensor, I have no clue if it's got anything to do with what's going on. How likely is it both unit's go out at the same time -- highly unlikely, I think. But there's always that possibility, I know. On the other hand, I believe to have a functional rear axle speed sensor as my speedometer works just fine. I have tried eliminating every possible source for what's going on. If my speedometer is functional, then the only thing left in terms of sensors is the passenger side sensor, as much as I hate to say it. Other than that, could it be a defective ABS module/computer?
  21. No, the new hub/bearing came with the new sensor integrated. I'll have to double check everything. I doubt it's the passenger side.
  22. I got everything bolted down and just finished test driving the truck. It drives fine and everything except my abs and brake light are still on. I turned the ignition on 3 times and got the same code as before P0500. I feel like torching the ****ing thing! What do I do now?
  23. Just curious -- what's your thought on this issue?
  24. My buddy that works at napa got me the one that originally cost $250 or $260, somewhere around there. He got em' to me for $180. I originally wanted to go with Timken bearings, cuz that's what we usually carry at work but no one in town had em'. I needed to get this thing running and went with the napa ones. Hopefully they are good ones and last me some time. Those free spinning ones are real nice too, but just can't afford it... It would be nice to have though.
