    TC Shudder, misdiagnosed as 4WD issue by myself

    I was waiting for you to come into this thread lol... Now my next question is should she continue to drive it until our appointment at the dealer or should she refrain from use for the meantime to try and prevent any further damage. We are expecting our first child in march and need the truck to...

    TC Shudder, misdiagnosed as 4WD issue by myself

    Update on this, as i do not drive the vehicle as often. It is for the wife as she described it to me. now that i have driven it over the past couple of days, i have came to the final conclusion that it is something with the transmission, vibrations and or shudder happens more towards...

Regardless there is an issue, id attempt to tackle it myself but...

    TC Shudder, misdiagnosed as 4WD issue by myself

    update, issue still occurs even when in 2H. have not tested 4HI. As i believe it is not a 4WD issue as i initially suspected, i'm leaning towards may have to do something with the brake assist or vaccum pump associated with the braking system. very intermittent issue. I am afraid if i bring to...

    Around 40-50 MPH with Auto 4WD selected, feels like front passenger side tire is either locking up or “ sputtering “ When i put into 2H it seems to alleviate issue a lil bit but still happens intermittently. Is this an issue with auto braking assist or something to do with the 4WD module. Almost...

    MDI 2 scanner

    Looking for a decently priced MDI that won’t break my bank account. Don’t feel like dealing with long wait times at the dealer if modules have to be reset. Any input would be helpful! Thank you in advance

Of course on the last one in the rear i go to remove the two top mounting bolts and the retainer clips broke from the frame leaving me with a continuously spinny bolt. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone and how can i go about removing...

    Low oil pressure on acceleration

    I’m not sure honestly i don’t see any leaks on the pavement where i park. Under the hood tho is a different story, but I’m not sure if it’s oil or power steering fluid that’s built up or both lol. I will check the oil when i get home from work. I have a van for work that i drive home so that’s a...
