All we've had to do (aside from routine maintenance) is replace the sway bar links and clean the EGR valve. It's a kick ass little truck, and has almost 160k now. I'm a Chevy guy, but I have no shit to talk about the little truck.

Just hit 70,xxx miles tranny seems to shift weird when I get on it pretty good any ideas why? And also my idle in park and nuetral hops from 800rpm to almost 500rpm maybe vacuum leak or what else? I could just take it to the dealership shop but I'd like to know whats causing these problems for possible future problemsI've got a full warranty where I pay $100. I drive it daily. I'm sure 80 miles a day rides smooth besides the Cleaty tires. No bad seals or any leaks besides a possible vaccum leak? Thanks for any help and nice truck bud!
@Novagunner4 жыл бұрын
Man sorry i haven't seen these comments! id first check the fluid level, some times what happens is inside the drain pan of the transmission thier are solenoids to control shifting and if the manifold loosens up a bit that holds them in it will ccause bad shifts

I just bought a 2009 xlt 4 Dr supercab 4x4. The place to the lower left of the steering wheel you said was for Bluetooth- on mine it looks like some type of printer plug in for lack of a better description. Also, on the dash the 2 holes are empty. Looks like one might be a 12v outlet and the other maybe missing the cigarette lighter insert. What do you think/know? My dash lights do not come on during the day. Why do you think that is? I'm a girl so I'm not up on these things. Your input would be appreciated.
@Novagunner10 ай бұрын
Mine does not have Bluetooth. If I said that I was mistaken... Yes you are correct. The outlet closet to the driver is the cigarette lighter and the one on the right next to passenger is only a 12v outlet for devices... I have a USB charger in there now. And the dash lights will not come on automatically only when you turn the headlights on.

Novagunner you do not have a locked front diff, maybe a limited slip but that’s still questionable. Your year of truck has a live front axle meaning the hubs are always engaged and connected to your transfer-case. If it does infact have a locked front diff then you would feel it when turning even in 2wd and the front end would bind up on pavement.
