ok, here's the deal- my truck was 2 quarts low today, my fuel mileage has been getting worse for the past month or so- not the usual winter fuel problem, and when I sit at idle in neutral for a few minutes I have an awful odor inside the cab. I can smell it in the front of the truck as well. Do...

I have a rattle in the driver side front end. The only thing I can find that seems loose is the pitman arm- does that make sense? I hear it going over small to moderate bumps in the roads. Any other suggestions? Thanks

I have a knock in the engine compartment, really notice it more when truck is put into gear- but it will also knock while in neutral or park. I can really hear it well when I am at a drive through- noise bounces off the wall real well. Any suggestions? If I go to the dealer, will trouble codes...

my 03 is in the dealer as I write this, bad ball joints, all u joints, and bad drive shafts. Truck has 57000 miles, all easy highway.

Both the 5 and 6 speed that I drove had very short 1st gears, I found it better to start out in 2nd. How do you guys drive um'? Maybe it is just me being used to driving gas sports cars. Thanks again for the help-
