    Power steering hissing

    This truck is really starting to test me this holiday season. Still have the mystery vibration/shudder. Water pump is leaking, tensioner is whining and on the way to the parts store the power steering was making a hissing sound. Is this hissing a sign that I need a new PS pump? Are there any...

    Steering wheel slop

    No effect on the steering wheel. You are adjusting pre-load on the box.

    Mystery vibration (still)

    RPMs stay constant, right around 1625 @ 60 mph. Vibration seems to be inconsistant. Sometimes it happens, others not. I am seeing a max of 8% TC slip but not during the vibration. Only see about 1-2% during vibration. ICP and IPR DC both increase but I think that is due to the hill...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Replaced the steering stabilizers. Installed a Skyjacker dual stabilizer kit last year. Both blew out in the last week. This truck is beginning to cost me more than a payment would be!

    Mystery vibration (still)

    Just got home. I canceled OD on the way to work and it didn't miss a beat. No slipping. On the way home I was getting on it pretty good and when I got to my test grade nothing happened! No vibration at all. twt, Turn your chip up and run it hard (if your weather permits). I am...

    Is there a difference between TC shudder and TC slip? Can shudder occur without slip?

    I'll hook up the AE next time. Haven't seen any slipping once the TC locks on other runs. Didn't think to take on the last test run.

    Question hey TG is this your old plane

    I didn't know there was one off base. There still is one on base but you need a clearance to visit. I would love to take my kids, they always ask what I do at work.

    Dave, Just one truck. Many years of parts. Is there anyway to pinpoint the TC? The only other thing I think it could be is a miss in one of the cylinders. I can make the vibration stop by pressing on the pedal.

    Mystery vibration (still)

    Pulled the rear drive shaft. Good news: The vibration is not coming from anything behind the transfer case. Bad news: I still don't know where the vibration is coming from!

    Dave, I replaced the U joints less than 10,000 miles ago along with the carrier bearing. No change. Everything is still tight.

    Did you go to the one on Kirtland AFB?

    Mystery vibration (still)

    Truck down shifted and no more vibration. Downshift was smooth, nothing out of ordinary. I can also make it go away by giving it more fuel. Did a little more testing. I can also get the vibration on flat road by very slowly increasing speed. It is easier to do with with cruise control...

    Mystery vibration (still)

    Vibration occurs in OD at the bottom of an incline when the engine loads up a little (generally a 1-2 psi increase in boost). If I give it more pedal the vibration goes away. I started noticing this last December when I drove North on some of the larger hills. I have been noticing it here in GA...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Found my coolant leak. 203,495 miles on a water pump isn't too bad I guess.

    2008 Back up camera system installed (write up)

    You need to figure out if your radio video display is NTSC format. It probably is. When I was trying to figure out what wire did what I plugged the backup camera into a TV and it worked. If it is NTSC, find out what inputs you need to provide the monitor. My original post has the pinouts for...

    Light smoke at idle and excelleration

    PCM has been reflashed to support single shot injectors. I will take a sniff when I get home.

    Light smoke at idle and excelleration

    I've been getting a light smoke at idle and a pretty good haze on all take offs. It doesn't seem to matter how warm or cold it is. Could this be my tuning or is there something else possibly going wrong. My biggest concern is head gasket as I am losing some coolant. Haven't had time to...

    Question Winter Tires for a Yukon XL

    I had some Cooper Discoverers on an F-150 and they were great. Worked really well on compact snow and ice. My BFG AT KOs are great on the SD as well.
