    How do I know if I have the towing package?

    I checked my driver's door panel on the 95 XLT and under Axle it says D4. Does that mean I have the limited slip 4.10 axle?

    Checking for worn ball joints

    Just change your lower ball joints. The moog lower ball joints on Amazon are only $28 each. There's a good how-to sticky in this forum. If you have basic mechanic skills and the right tools changing the lower ball joints is not difficult. In my case the difference in how tight and...

    Interior Lights won't go off, door ajar light NOT lit.

    Hey guys I think I figured out the problem. I noticed that whenever it is more than 30 degrees C outside and/ or my truck is parked with the sun hitting the left side of the truck this problem of the interior lights not going out happens. I tried slamming all the doors but that doesn't make...

    high pitched chirping at slow speeds

    I think I might have this problem too. Did you notice that this chirp happens only when it is hot and dry? The chirp goes away when it is raining. I went on a diagnostic drive (in light rain) with the lead hand at our dealership and the problem didn't come up. He said it could be a rock or...
