Got this one out of the blue today for the rail pressure sensor. Truck was running perfectly then "ding" check engine light comes on and the engine stumbles but keeps running. Now it's pinging like mad, only had a couple miles to go to get home so I continued driving it. Using the live data on...

I have owned the '06 in my sig for a long time. During my ownership I have ridden in the back seat exactly zero times. I have noticed that passengers in the past seem to have trouble getting out of the back of the truck. They have to pull up the door lock knob to manually unlock the door before...

It's not consistent, but sometimes after I start my truck I'll get a single chime and the ABS and brake light will illuminate in the dash and then shut off. The truck starts fine and runs without any issue, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this and is it warning me of some more...

From the latest TDR magazine on the inside cover. After reading Mr. Whale's article I had to post it.

I have never had this many problems with the a/c on any vehicle I've owned. I've been through the usual freon low problem (cold on the driver side, warmer on the passenger side). Ultimately I had a compressor failure almost 3 years ago. After replacing literally everything it worked perfectly...

My steel floor jack has been around about 25 years and I swear it keeps getting heavier every time I use it. I'm looking for a lightweight aluminum one as the regular use jack on the truck and use the old steel one on the occasion that I need to use two jacks. Anyone out there using an...

Need some help here guys. Truck was running fine this morning and has been mostly trouble free for the time I've owned it. I loaded up the family in it this morning and it started and ran for 2 or 3 seconds and died. Tried again, same thing. Rail pressure would come up to 7k where it's always...

I have to replace the rear door wiring harness on my 06. I ordered the part from Geno's last week and was informed by email that it was on backorder with no availability date. I called a few days later to see if the part would ever be available and talked to a gentleman named JC. He informed me...

When I bought my 06 it came with a hard one piece fiberglass bed cover. It has been very useful on road trips where I can throw the luggage in the bed and lock everything up. Two problems I have with it: 1: My garage door just broke it. :mad: 2: I can't use my truck as a truck with the one...

I'm looking to retire my wife's 16 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee (I'll never buy one of those again) and have been eyeballing the Audi A6. I was wondering if anyone here has any first, or even second, hand experience with this diesel. I'm primarily concerned with dependability and...

I've been curious to see how dirty the GDP secondary fuel filter actually is on my truck when I change it. Well, looks like the Baldwin PF7977 ahead of it is doing it's job. This is after 13k miles, I usually change fuel filters every other oil change.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good oil filter cutter? I have a Chevy 350 in an 82 Jeep that I think is coming apart and would love to see what the filter has in it. I'd also like to cut open the aux fuel filter in my truck too for inspection. Thanks in advance.

I'm finally getting around to installing some Autometer factory match gauges in my 06. I really, REALLY hate to remove the factory loom to gain access to the rail pressure sensor wires to tap it in for that gauge. Anyone have a more "elegant" solution? The thought of T-tapping the factory...

After sitting in my garage for 20 years this one is coming home soon. I built the 350 a long time ago from a bare block, broke the transmission a few years later, had kids, mortgage, and the Jeep wouldn't pass AZ emissions so it sat. The trans is an early GM NV4500 with the 6.34 1st gear, the...

My 06 lately has started "stumbling" for the lack of a better term on initial start up after it has been sitting a while (overnight). It's a rough idle for a few seconds and some smoke and then it smooths out and runs flawlessly. Never shows up on warm starts. This truck is garaged in Phoenix so...

I have a ton of good tools at home but no practical "tool kit" to bring on the road. I'm looking for something in a hard plastic case that I can easily throw in the vehicle and hit the road. I'm about to drive a 36 year old Jeep on a 1000 mile trip home and would like to have some tools with me...

If you have a Carli track bar there is a recall for the Johnny joint at the axle end if yours has one (mine does). http://www.carlisuspension.com/images/recall/RECALL-NOTICE.pdf I simply sent them an email with a picture of the part and my address and I got a response in 15 minutes that a new...

I'm curious if anyone else has had an oil analysis after using CK-4 oil. I bought Valvoline PB 5w-40 synthetic CK-4 (I didn't realize it was CK-4 when I bought it) for the last oil change and had it sampled as I normally do when I changed it out. Iron DOUBLED from the prior sample of CJ-4...

The check engine light just popped up when I started the truck this morning, P1755 (transmission throttle valve actuator), no other codes. The truck now won't shift into second gear until ~2600 rpm although the upper gears seem to be behaving normally. Most of you will probably understand this...

The AC in my 06 has been problematic from the day I bought it four years ago, mostly that it blows warmer out of the passenger and rear vents than the driver side. That's a well documented complaint on this site and the general consensus seems to be that the freon is low when that is happening...
