I just had this happen to my 2008 Regular cab, no clearance lights and no sunroof. Water leaked out of the grab handle screw covers on the drivers side and my truck sits parked leaning to the right. Guess I need to look at the satellite radio antenna, but how'd the water run up hill to the...

Correct, but the Delvac was the nearest identical to the SHC DC and as posted above "On Mobil's site they say that the Mobiltrans SHC DC is discontinued has been replaced with the Mobil Delvac 50 ". Once I got it hot it was fine, but that's not acceptable, no way I could leave my driveway when...

After reading the reports I decided to try the Mobil Delvac. I installed 7qts thru the top on Sunday with air temps at 47F. As soon as I backed out of the driveway I knew I was not going to be happy with the shifting. Going into 2nd to start was a little stiff but then the 2-3 shift was very...

Last Friday my 2008 with only 73k had the passenger side tie rod end fall off, luckily while parking. The truck has all highway miles and never used off road. Examination on the bench showed no signs of damage or wear and I was able to pop the stud back into the socket fairly easily with a...

Mine did that once without throwing a code, stopped for a light, E brake stayed on when I tried to pull away. Next stop it went off, and I stopped using it. About a month later a code locked in and dealer replaced turbo under warranty, been fine ever since.

Yep my Geno's one lasted one season and now the cover started flapping this October, another quality product #@$%!. Must have been field tested in Florida:-laf

I have and 08 manual and w/o cruise control on I can get an odd pulsing going down hill with or without the EB running. Never could figure it out. Sometimes worse then others, sometimes not at all. Keep thinking it's some black box program kicking in.

Yep, found the same issues as you did. Used brake cleaner and compressor for the tube and small wire for the hole below the sensor. The little well the sensor sits in was pretty well filled with hard soot, the tube was not so bad. The sensor has an O ring on the end which was trying to stick...

I have the 2008 Geno's manual on CD and it used to work great on IE6. Now that I have Firefox it doesn't work right at all, and IE9 has very limited use. Any ideas on what needs to be set or turned on/off in the newer viewers to get this 2008 CD to work again. And no I don't have and...

Funny you mention the exhaust brake, few times lately that didn't work right either, soon as the hurricane passes I'll check that tube you mention. BTW - I think post cleaning the MAP sensor I picked up like 0. 2mpg according to the overhead.

Can't wait to get mine on the road tomorrow and see if there's a difference of some kind. Sorry I didn't take a pic, if I recall right there were 4 small holes on the end and 4 around the barrel. I had only 1 hole on the barrel open. There was so much soot on the end it even had an odd...

Caught the article in Issue 73 this week. Pulled mine today at 56k and the openings were clogged about 99%. How could this not be throwing codes ?

I had the EZ down on for about 6 months, worked well on the way down but the darn cable kept getting caught between the gate and taillight (2008 model) even tried various tie wrap scenarios to keep it clear but I finally gave up and removed it before it damaged the light or the paint.

Does anyone know for sure if the reset procedure works if the change message HAS NOT come on ? I changed my oil before the message last time did the reset procedure and then a week later the message came up. Now I could have messed up, but I have done it before, but without the message going...

I was just reading about this myself. Has anyone switched to the Syncromesh fluid and was there any change to the ease of shifting ?
