Ya know if you add many more "extras" to that avalanche you might as well just put wheels under your house and pull it with you when you go off-roading. lol Just havin fun pokin at ya.

roadrunner

Yeah Brule, and those that don't end up caught up in "avalanches". har har har

roadrunner

Yeah there's such a difference in temps from here to where you are I'm sure your fuel draw will be a bit higher. Sounds like you have need of and use for a Scan Gauge II unit in your vehicle. I sure do like mine!!

roadrunner

Sorry go be so slow on the follow up. Waited for colder weather to check the readings. Engine cold idling, defrost on max, outside temp 12*F= 1.26gph. Engine warm same heater settings and same outside temp= 0.50gph.

Jeeps remind me of the old small broncos. I personally saw two of those put on their sides. One on dry pavement by a woman swerving around a pothole. The other by a little czech man swerving to miss a neighbor's chicken in the gravel road. Upon talking with him later he informed me next time he was ...

Got plans to shield that new tank for protection from rocks etc on the trails you take?

roadrunner

Wish I could find bypasses around mud here when we have it! Oh Yeah! That would be the ditches!

roadrunner

No snow here but curled up with a hot drink and a warm blankey. Happy Rama-hanna-kwans-mas to all.

Dude!! Put snorkels on the exhaust and intake and maybe you could use it for a submarine. lol

roadrunner

On the inside of the glove box lid. Yes I see the bulge now.

roadrunner

Not me! The less ethanol in fuel I have to run the better. I can notice drops in performance and mileage on as little as 10% so I sure ain't gonna try heavier mixes than that! Perhaps Serge has different emissions or other specs on his truck than on ours as he is in France?

roadrunner

Is it just me or the camera angle? It doesn't look like it has the bulge in the box like the 4x4's do.

Locally there is a farm implement dealer in my area installing flex-fuel kits in trucks and cars but I'm just waiting to hear people's laments later on how many fuel system problems they developed as a result. Shouldn't take too long. All this is aside from the issues on reduced mileage and perform...

I presume you are looking for injector #4 control circuit? That's what it is listed as in the 01 manual. If so it is located 4th from the right top row blue connector as viewed in your picture. #4 pin in the other connector as viewed in your pic is not used. As stated in the 01 OEM manual. The wire ...

roadrunner

Most likely so. E-fan motors generally get draggy due to bearing issues or bearings letting the armature drag on the magnets before they will quit completely which causes the electrical load to go way up thus overheating/blowing the fuse.

roadrunner

Glad to see you had a happy ending and foiled the scum-bags. Kudos to HJ for another great cc addition!

Coil sprung 2wd models???? Didn't know they made a 2wd crew cab. I don't think they did. Who knows though? Might have been a special application order to build super secret crew cabs that get 1000 miles to the gallon of water used as fuel , or powered by flux capacitors? :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Odds are if you had to replace one rear caliper you'll have to replace the other as well. If you can smell it you should be able to tell which one is sticking by which one is getting hot even when not using the brakes much or at all. If the new one warranty is in order if the old one get one to repl...

Fuel draw with defrost on will depend on speed and usage. I'll try when I get home to give you a value on it at idle. I'm in Vegas right now for Thanksgiving visiting relatives and gettin fat on casino and home-made holiday food.

roadrunner

Don't feel bad about keeping tabs on your MPG's on every tank. I do as well on all my vehicles. I find it is a good way to head off pending trouble as mileage many times will drop well before any noticeable performance changes are noticed. Especially on a daily driver.

roadrunner

While scan gauge does show fuel used etc I think it would have little bearing on your situation as compared to my truck here in KS. It is nowhere near as cold here as there and idling would use significantly less fuel here due to the engine running richer to compensate for the low temps and also the...

roadrunner

I know it seems like a lot of messing around but HenryJ has given you the diagnostics as they are written in the manual. Mine says the same thing. I think you are in for a lot of tedious diagnosis and need to follow the steps in his post to solve/find your problem.

roadrunner

I know this will sound simplistic but have you checked your oxygen sensor fuse in the panel under the hood? If it is blown you may have/had shorted heater circuit wires to one or more of the O2 sensors.

If you're looking for aftermarket and custom wheeling parts you might try stylintrucks.com or the usual Jegs, JC whitney, or google search for 4x4 parts.

After close study of the photos I have reached the conclusion it can be but one thing on your truck Reed. Waterfowl poop eating away the clear coat and paint!!!!!! I guess that's what you get for maintaining such a large flock down there! lol BTW keep em there. It's getting too cold for em up here a...

roadrunner

I thought the flock was already here judging by the number of items on both of my vehicles needing repair lately. If it's your flock take em back I got enough problems!!

roadrunner

Seeing pics like that just makes me so happy I never messed with mine!

I just fixed some mild hopping in my crew the other day. Uneven mud buildup in the wheels. Nice and smooth again.

roadrunner

All depends on your purpose and your prevailing WEATHER conditions. I have great difficulty with the stock five spoke aluminum where I run. They tend to build up inside worse with mud and frozen crud in the winter running for me. Before I put 1" spacers on the rear I had lots of trouble with destruc...

Concerning your noise in the front. Have you lubed your T-bar sockets and inspected them as well as the member they are supported by for looseness or damage/failure? It is common for noise to migrate up/down there and sound like it is where it is not. As regards your C0238 code. Are all your tires t...

Another cause can be a seized/partially seized caliper piston. Buddy of mine just had this experience. Reman caliper--problem solved. I've experienced the collapsed hose thing in the past on another vehicle.

Rust never sleeps!!!!!!

No codes. The CC went from a noticeable (visual & noise level) rpm drop to maybe a 200 rpm drop. I thought nothing of it, other than, "maybe I need to do a transmission flush". If you're talking about a 200 rpm drop on lockup that's all mine has ever done and I don't have a programmer but do have w...

Generally a little blast in the front (fan end) bearing area does the trick. On one vehicle I nursed along a noisy rear bearing for a couple years by drilling a 1/16" hole in the rear so I could regularly oil the rear bearing as it was inaccessible otherwise without dis-assembly of the motor.

roadrunner

Aerosol Break-Free CLP works pretty good on noisy fan motors. I've also used Kroil. Both available at gun shops generally (also online from Brownells.com) and Break-Free can be had at most Wal-Marts.

I have to concur with rlnr. Many times a broken belt in a tire will not show up till the tire is run loaded. Seems like sometimes they have to warm up to shake.

Warning!!!!!! The replacement fix requires the replacement of both the lower manifold and the upper plenum. The problem area starts between the two and replacing one or the other may not fix the problem.

roadrunner

Looks like it would still have a flexibility problem to me. Our engines torque back and forth quite a bit more than people realize under power in forward and reverse. Keep in mind the higher the "hat" on the throttle body the more exaggerated the movement of the engine will be.

roadrunner

You may be experiencing a manifold burn through. There is a weak spot in the plastic manifold where the engine coolant loops around the throttle body rearward of it. More specifically where the egr passage is located. This allows small amounts of anti-freeze to enter the manifold directly (initially...

P0327 from the 01 manual: The knock sensor (KS) produces an AC voltage at all engine speeds and loads.

Then the PCM assigns a...

I'd still start by checking the integrity of the electrical connectors at the tank sender unit. I know it's not very accessible or fun but I think this is likely where your problem lies with that pesky 452 code.
