    Weird behaviour with the inside blower fan

    It may have happened once or twice before but today it did it a few times. I have the AC on full and recirc. The fan will shift from blowing out the vents to blowing out the defroster. The air is still cold. I tried a few other blend positions and the same thing happens, it goes to...

    factory bed cover key cover replacement

    My factory bed cover with the two locking keys had the flapper on one of the key protectors finally tear off (overuse). Anyone know a part number, availability and if this is a difficult swap? (I am pretty good with tools)

    how hard to replace the radiator?

    I think mine is leaking. I am a skilled shade tree mechanic but mostly on cars from last century. How hard is it to swap the radiator? Any special tools for the connectors or anything?

    Side mirror is 'partially disconnected'

    The driver side mirror came back 'loose' from the auto detailer. It's the mirror itself. It still kind of works when you used the switch but it seems to 'stick out' further than it should and is not firm, it kind of flops around a bit. Any thoughts? 2008

    Transfer Case in my 2008?

    I will do some more web searching but I was wondering what transfer case is in my 2008? It's a 4x4. Full time. With a 4x4 hi and 4x4 low button. I have to say I was really impressed with the operation in low. I am not new to going off road. I ran a 81 wagoneer with a np208 and...

    About to hit 100,000 what maint do you recommend?

    I am going to go pull out the owner manual as well. I picked the car up with about 70000 miles on it and am about to hit 100000. Its v8 full time so I am thinking front and rear axle service (new fluid) as well as transfer case drain and fill.

    Outside key entry will not reset

    I bought the truck used. It has the outside key pad. I tried following the instructions in the manual to reset it using the code but that didn't work. Is there a trick to this?

    power steering fluid dark and poor performance

    My power steering fluid is 'dark'. Is this normal? I had the stealership flush the system about 2 years ago. The steering works fine except it sometimes seems to 'wobble'. Not violent but noticeable. I am not going to pay them to do it again. The truck has 90K miles on it. (gen 2...

    What is the Low Pressure AC switch operating range

    My AC compressor is cycling. I hooked up a guage set. 100 degree's outside. At idle. Low side drops down to 25 and back up to about 70 (as the compressor cycles). High side about 175 to 225. I think I can hear the low pressure switch 'click' with the compressor. Not sure it is being...

    is this normal for AC operation?

    i bought the ST in the winter. It's starting to get warm here in Phoenix. 2008 V8 Limited. It doesn't consistently blow cold. At idle it seems to do great. At most any throttle it seems to warm up a bit. When cruising it seems to go from cold to not as cold. This is true even...

    leaking sometimes

    My 2008 V8 leaks 'sometimes'. I have seen it twice. The 'water' drips near the lower radiator hose but I can see it is coming from higher up. I don't hear any sound like you might expect when the cooling system is pressurized. The radiator fill tank was close to empty but the radiator...

    Ticking when first starting

    my 2008 v8 makes a ticking sound when I first start it. Especially noticable when it is first start of the day. It's not a lifter kind of ticking noise but it sounds like the exhaust is being diverted or something. After about 15 to 20 seconds it will quiet down over a few second period, as...

    whoops, hit the 4x4 button

    2008 Limited V8. Accidently hit the 4x4 button. Noticed a strange noise (almost like power steering pump) as i turned left and then right and then a slight left as I pulled into a parking spot. That's when I saw the 4x4 light on the dash. I am going to assume I didn't do too...

    does your transmission thunk?

    When I come to a slow stop I get kind of a thunk out of the truck. My usual mechanic took a look at it (first time he has seen this truck since I just got it) and he said he thinks its the tranny. 2008 v8 4x4 6 speed. 45000 miles so I think it is under warranty still??

    Drill baby Drill - In Brazil

    So why is it our President wants to send technology and help Brazil drill so that "when you are ready to drill we want to be one of your best customers". Now, don't get me wrong. I am all for helping Brazil develop their oil reserves. I just don't understand why it is okay to drill there...

    windshield replacement - any worries?

    my 2008 original windshield is cracked. It will be covered by insurance but are these 'tricky' to replace? Anything I should watch for while they are doing it? I have 'sync' so the rear view mirror has the mic in it.
