well it has 105,000 I have owned it since 60,000, I have done all maintainence oil changes tune up at 100 k intake gaskets, injectors, radiator etc. What do you consider high milege? I have run mobil 1 since i bought it. Do you think i should put it in the cranks case? what could happen?

bradjh

Should i put it in gas tank, crak case and pcv or vac line from brake booster? do i need to do all 3 at same time or can i wait on crank case until i'm closer to needing oil change? how much should i put in each place. should i buy 2 cans or is 1 enough?

bradjh

noise still happening it is the thing directly to the left of the throttle control if you are going to rev your truck up from under the hood.. It has a sparkplug like boot and a rubber hose that runs toward firewall. When truck idles i can feel the whole rubber hose pulsating? I do not beleive this ...

bradjh

ok more info on sound, it seems to be coming from a spark plug looking boot thing that blugs in right behind the altenator and runs down into the firewall it looks like. I pulled the boot off and checked for blockage nothing, It may be the source of the noise has a rubber hose and i felt it, it was ...

bradjh

bradjh

The other morning the truck started to make a noise kind of similar to when the hvac blower motor went out but it is coming from back where you fill the oil and right by where the air comes up to the top of the engine from the filter tube, It mainly does it at idle, and when you drop it in gear it s...

bradjh

Center console is very loose.. Is the only thing that keeps it tight is that nut under the rubber mat under the hvac controls? my plastic is all broken around it and it has nothing there to keep it tight i dont think a big washer would do anything, anyone fixed this problem?

bradjh

I too have a coolant odor, seems like I am smelling it more, have to add to over flow every few weeks, A year ago my local shop told me i need a new lower intake gasket i think and quoted me $700 to do it, I am thinking this is my problem how hard to replace the gasket?
