ok I got it out with some pliers….
checked my radiator and it looks like there isn’t coolant to the top of the core - am I to just fill to the top of the core, make sure reservoir is full, and just drive a few cycles? (Edit: looks like it was a bit low that’s all)
backstory: truck was...
Ok thank you jLB.
What would be the consequence of driving a few days with the just the center Diff locked and not yet removing the front shaft and flanges? Will something be moving/engaging that shouldn’t be?
Pulling up an old thread.
I was just at a stop light, went to drive and big grinding, no motion. Tried to back up, and same grinding in reverse, no motion.
Wasn’t in a great area, pushed my car out of the intersection.
Decided to try to lock the Center Diff. I could now drive, so I...
Thank you everyone for your input - seems I have some decisions to make.
(Re the splines: I think they appear more rusted than they are - surface rust happened over the course of 48 hours pretty quickly and more than I thought - didn’t look like that right after the accident. Even the lugs...
I had my number 5 coil go bad, and within a month it went bad again. Threw codes for plug and coil.
Took the coil out and the plug was loose (as in already back out a bit, zero effort to unscrew). Put in a new plug and used the same coil and all is good for now no more codes.
Good thread...
Pic of bumper/quarter damage. Bumper a little loose. There was a ton of snow.
I guess it all doesn’t look too bad but you know how these things with shops just add up to crazy amounts. No idea what the ballpark should be.
Been crazy weather up here in Michigan .
Slid off the road sideways into a snowbank apparently buried within the 4 foot high snowbanks was a fire hydrant.
Insurance says all the shops are about a month out. So they say the adjuster will come out and cut me a check and I can go get it fixed...
Thanks for the replies guys, Happy Thanksgiving.
I have a couple of pics from before I left to travel for the weekend, had to rent a car.
First is puddle near the drivers side wheel. Second is small leak at passenger wheel that I noticed after I tried pumping the brakes. Third is closer view...
I know this seems to be coming up lately in the forums (from searching), but I didn’t want to hijack other threads.
Today, got in the truck (06 LX, 330k) and started to back up. Immediately knew something was wrong and when I hit the brakes, they went to the floor. Traveling for Thanksgiving...
Gents,
While driving down freeway:
- “P” light indicator started flickering, so that “D” and “P” were coming on at the same time.
- Then “P” went solid along with “D”, and then I got 3 more lights:
1. Check engine
2. Vsc Trac
3. Vsc off
No apparent change in...
