Yep, you heard it. When I flip up to right, everything is normal. When I click down to turn left, the turn signal flashes very quickly. Almost instantaneously and consistently. I just noticed this on my way home today. I noticed that the driverside front turn signal flashes very quickly...

I know this is a stupid question guys, but what's the proper torque spec for the rear diff cover on the 8.8? It's time to change mine again at 200K miles and I was a panzy last time at 100 and paid some fool to do it. It's not in my Haynes manual. I checked, then checked again. NO. I've...

I'm sure this has probably been answerd 64 million times, but will 6x9s fit behind the seat in my '00 regular cab? I'm not worried about any triming in the doors if I were to put 6x9s in the doors. But will they fit behind the seat, or should I just stick with 5x7/6x8? There are a whole lot...

So, I had a code P0401. I suspected the EGR valve and so I pulled it and cleaned it. The seal was good since I could hold the valve open with a vacuum. I re installed it and cleared my P0401 code. This was yesterday. Today, my cel comes back on and now I have a P1401 auxillary emissions...

Hey guys, So, Next month my truck is due for inspection. Now of course my cel had to go ahead and come on this month. The code is P0401(EGR flow insufficient) . In the past I've had this problem and replaced the DPFE sensor which easily fixed the problem. I've noticed over the past couple...
