    Oily drips on inside cab floor below glove box

    Thankfully I have Weathertech mats, but the title says it all… These drips are happening while the truck is sitting. I am assuming that they are refrigerant system oil leaking from a leaking AC/heat exchanger or connection. I will pull the AC fuse to prevent the compressor from running without...

    ValvoMax Oil drain plug

    Over the weekend, I changed the oil/filter and ALSO installed the ValvoMax drain plug that has been waiting in the shop. I had wrestled with the decision as to whether to buy the Fumoto or EZ Drain from Genos, but settled on the ValvoMax and I am extremely happy with that decision!!! Bought the...

    ABS light on with no DTC(s) ??

    The ABS light on my 2005 4x4 has been lit in my truck for awhile now. It happened out of the blue and I have not paid attention to it becuase I am no fan of ABS systems and there seem to be no braking problems with the truck. I finally got around to checking the DTC with a Smarty POD code...

After gently prying out the seal and in the process of gently cleaning up the case and crankshaft with brake cleaner, I can see and feel some extremely, very slight markings on the crankshaft seal surface. After cleaning the...

    Remove transfer case from G56 first??

    Trying to decide if its a good idea to take the time and trouble to first pull the TC off the G56 in order to make removing and reinstalling the G56 for the clutch replacement more manageable ( in other words, easier to align on reinstall) All ideas welcome, with priority given to those from...

    Prices for oem parts has gotten SO high that I am wondering if the Gates serpentine belt/tensioner kit is up to par... Obviously I would still buy them from Genos, but I am curious if anyone here running them have updated comments on quality and longevity of these parts??

    Key Out = Strange noise behind instrument cluster and Door Locks NOT working

    Pretty much what the title says. :( Today in town, as I hopped out of the truck to get lunch, I used the master door lock switch on DS door to lock up the truck. And NOTHING happened. I figured that the master door switch wiring had finally failed, so I used the key fob to lock the doors...
