    Rough idle and "Check Engine Soon" light - FIXED

    Many frustrated hours later....I finally found this post. Although my elbow looked fine, it was a really loose fit. I taped it up and what do you know, no more unexpected stalling when I;m off the throttle. Time to search for a couple of elbows. Thanks a bunch.

    4x4 light flashing. ???

    It happened right after taking the x in for an alignment. I always wonder when stuff suddenly stops working after having it in for some work. I'll have to check the codes if it ever stops raining. Thanks for the tips Colin

    4x4 light flashing. ???

    I've notice the 4x4 light flashing lately when I drive. I can't seem to get to 4x4 high mode. 4x4 low engages fine. I can't tell if I'm in auto mode or not. Does anyone have any ideas, winter is on the way. My 275's wont do so well without 4x4. I've done a bunch of searches but...

    Unfortunately I still have the rake...I can't find a way to get the rear any lower or I would. Thanks for looking. I wish I had pictures of the roll over but It was towed from the scene straight to the shop. Even though I asked for detailed pics, they didn't bother. The next time I saw it, it...

    Tooo funny. Yes I did mean roof rack, but that I have had the roof off. The wife rolled her in 2005 and I didn't have collision insurance ( long story). Needed a new roof all new glass, 3 doors etc. Cost me a fortune but I'm glad I kept it.

    lots of oil in my intake system, what gives?

    I think I figured out how all that oil got in there.... The pcv didn't seem to be stuck. I've been racking my brain all week. It just didn't make sense to me. How does around a litre of oil get in there if everything else is well maintained.( I like to think I know what I'm doing). Then it...

    lots of oil in my intake system, what gives?

    When added to fuel, I have heard all kinds of things like damaging catalitic converters, fouling plugs, never running right again. When added to oil, makes the oil viscosity go way down, resulting in spun bearings severe internal wear etc.

    lots of oil in my intake system, what gives?

    Thanks, I usually run a lighter weight oil since it's cold here. I couldn't get a pcv yesterday but will pick one up on the way home. The old one seems to work fine, moves freely but who knows. It's cheap enough I don't mind doing it.

    lots of oil in my intake system, what gives?

    Morning all When I finished installing new plugs and ingnition coils, ( I was due), I picked up the intake assembly off the floor and heard a liquid inside. Naturally I turned it over to take a look. When I did, close to half a litre of dirty black oil poored out. I assume I have a pcv issue...

    Help I'm stranded.....

    Good news I was able to get the old remote to unlock it once so I'm no longer stranded but the programming is still not working. Unfortunately once you have locked the x with either the remote or the door locks and then unlocked it with the key , the only way to disable seems to be with the...

    How much play and how should the belt tensioner feel?

    I have had a noise for a couple of weeks. I assumed it was the fan clutch so I ordered a new one. Even though the fan clutch is being a bitc* and wont break loose, I noticed that the tentioner pulley doesn't seem to spin all that smoothly. Does anyone have any tips on how to ispect it...
