So on my 2005 4X4 I get the abs light and brake light on on my dash. Took the truck to autozone and they say the code reads Intermittant right front brake sensor issue. The part cost $77 so I wondered before I spent the money could I just clean it or something. I took the wheel off and the...

OK. OIl report says SUS viscosity@210 79. 9 (should be(69-80)) cSt Viscosity@100C 15. 5 should be 12. 7-15. 8 fuel% <0. 5 should be <2. 0 Iron 21 Universal ave 23 Well, I'm pleased so far. apparently my injectors don't appear to be leaking with low fue l%age

thanks guys for giving me a little hope. My truck is stock and filters always replaced when they should be. I'm looking forward to what the oil analysis says. I will admit I went a little long on this oil change(7000miles) on rotella so it will be a good test. I don't pull anything in the winter...

Reading about all the problems people are having with the HPCR engines it seems like it was foolish for me to buy one. I mostly bought my 05 for reliability and longevity but I'm beginning to think that was foolish. Granted, only people post with problems, not no problems so it sounds worse than...

what bothers me most about the hpcr engine is the general consensus is that the injectors are shot at 100,000 miles. That is an aweful lot of money to spend every 100,000 miles. That said my '05 has 105,000 miles and the oil anaylsis is being performed right now for the first time so we will see...

91,000 on original tires!!!!? Stay with that brand.

I have 101,000 miles and am hoping for 200,000 before I need to replace injectors. I have replaced 1 wheel bearing, all tierod ends, front wheel U joints (need replaced again), stabilizer bar links, rear driveshaft u joints, and all ball joints. More than I expected but if I needed to replace...

... and if your injectors had 300,000 miles you would have to pay your insurance company to replace them because you got more than the useful life out of them. LOL.

Holy crap. Injector life is only 100,000 miles?! What does a brand new set cost $2400? What does it cost to have them put in $400? Almost $3000?! I would never have bought mine had I known that.

Does anyones actually work? After 550 miles mine always reads 21. 6. When I fill up it's 16. 5-17. 5

OK, but why?

Well, I finally got around to replacing the sway bar links. I bought the ones from Geno's garage. It was an easy job and the thumping noise is gone. Also put in new front brakes and Michelin LTX m/s. It runs like new again.

Yep, I bought a used 05 dodge and was beginning to think I bought a flood truck. I'm sorta glad other people have the same issue. I was rotating my tires at 10,000 miles and had the same problem. I loosend the lugs drove it down the driveway and hit the brakes. Finally they broke free. Can't do...

I wonder what would have happened if you unlocked the door with the key and not used the remote at all. Was it a problem with the theft device itself or a problem getting the signal to the theft device. You would think the key itself would have disabled the anti theft device.

It could be the bushings but I think I narrowed it down to the sway bar links. The passenger side actually rattles a bit when you grab it. Genos sells them for $89 and it looks like it is just 2 nuts to remove. Is replacing them easy? Do you lift the frame to release tension on the links or can...
