You change your transmission fluid every 7,500 miles?

I always thought that was on the hundred thousand mile tune-up list.

barch97

Just one of the improvements for 2003. To justify the larger price tag.

barch97

one last question....

What's the volume of the cooling system? I mean, how much anti-freeze will I need to refill? And, by 50/50 mix I'm guessing you mean anti-freeze/water?

barch97

Thanks HenryJ

This why I love mechanics. (Yes, you specifically HenryJ)

I'll be back later to post pics of the burns I receive while draining my radiator.

barch97

and, then there's autozone.com. No exact matches but, there is a "flush and fill kit". No picture, no description, no price. So, how do I know what it is? Guess I should just buy one. Have it shipped. See if it's what I want and ship it back if it's not, huh?

barch97

I went to the local parts house and bought one of the Prestone flush kits. This is why I hate mechanics. (Not you specifically, HenryJ.) I just did a search at napa.com and got no matching results for "Prestone flush kit". Did same search at pepboys.com and got about ten billion results (everything...

All fix0red

and, they did the headlamp (no charge) also.

so, now that waranty is over... I gotta start lifting and modifying, right?

barch97

Our stock tires (goodyear wrangler rts) are 205S load index / speed rating. An S speed rating is 112 MPH (180km/h). 85 - 95 mph shouldn't be a problem at all. I'm guessing that whoever plugged your tire did it wrong. And, an internal patch is MUCH safer and more reliable than a plug. Assuming of cou...

barch97

Thanks for the helpful info and the quick response. I'ma give the dealer a call and see if they'll change the bulb under warranty.

barch97

I just noticed (actually my wife noticed and pointed out to me) last night that my passenger side headlamp is out. I popped the hood expecting to pull the non-working bulb and bring it to a parts store this morning and pick up a replacement. Well, much to my surprise, the bulb appears to be initiall...

barch97

Thanks for the help. I'll make an appointment in the morning.

My windshield wiper speed selector has been acting up. It used to be just periodic malfunction but, lately all the speeds are the same. Well, not ALL the speeds. There's still the faster speed all the way at the last click but, the rest are all the same speed. I'm at about 34,500 miles. So, warranty...

How do you ALWAYS get the same parking space?

hmm... That's never the way it happens in the movies. seems like you might have over reacted a bit. whenever I see that scene played out, the girl is usually very turned on by the admirer and they eventually hook up. Note: the vast majority of films I watch are from the adult section at the video st...

barch97

Yeah, I'm pretty optimistic about being able to save the maglite. I'm just annoyed with the poor quality of the batteries more than anything. Had I been cheap about it and stuck the same batteries in a plastic flashlight from k-mart, I'd be looking for a new inside door panel right now.

barch97

on a somewhat related subject... I keep a mag-lite in my truck. I don't use it often but, when I need it... I know it's there. I paid a substantial amount more for a "mag-lite" than I would have for a cheapo plastic flashlight for the sole reason that I want to be sure that when I NEED it, it will W...

barch97

Yes... I've noticed this as well. My 3 year old son like to play in my truck and very often doesn't completely close the doors. So, at least once a week, I have to stop a on my way to work in the morning to get out and re-close all the doors. I haven't had anything or anyone fall out yet though.

barch97

I wonder if this applies to the 2k2 as well. Mine sure seems to go from 1/4 to E a whole lot faster than from F to 3/4.

I just want to mention that I am satisfied with the splash guards but, not so much the retailer (truckxccessory.com) I purchased them from. As I explained in another thread, the descriptions of specific guards aren't very clear and, I assume all responsibility for first ordering the wrong model. But...

barch97

Those were on my truck not Jim's. Mine is NOT a zr5. Husky does make two different splash guards for our trucks however. (With fender cladding and without.)

I can't tell ya if the ones with fender cladding are the right ones for zr5 or not.

barch97

That why they put them wheel chocks in with the jack?

I saw a Sonoma crewcab a few weeks back on the way home from work that had done the same thing. Looked pretty good.

barch97

That's pretty much what's suppose to happen. When the truck is moving, there is plenty of air flowing through the radiator and dissipating the heat. But, when you're sitting still at idle, the fan engages to draw air across the radiator. As far as being under load... yeah, I'd keep a close eye on th...

NICE...

Now if only I could bring myself to actually buy a foreign truck

Hopefully the idea will catch on.

barch97

Now that you mentioned it... That's something I've been wanting in a pick-up for a long time. Seems that it wouldn't be too difficult to make the entire rear cab window lower remotely. Like they used to have in the back of station wagons. There's all that wasted space behind the seat. Plenty of room...

How much was the dealer going to charge for installation and where's the pics?

barch97

www.ultimatetruck.com has two. ProCaps http://www.ultimatetruck.com/images/ProLine/procaps.jpg & Homestead Products http://www.ultimatetruck.com/images/HomeStead/moldedbedcapscloseup.jpg both list an s10/sonoma crewcab for $76 (free shipping). They both look pretty cheap and cheesey for the price.

I'm not sure if this is what they're talking about but, with my previous truck ('99 ranger) the check engine light came and I took it to a shop owned by a friend. He ran diagnostic code thing and found that the gas cap was not on tight enough. Apparently the fuel system is pressurized and if the cap...
