    Column shifter getting stuck.

    04 Automatic. Recently had my trans overhauled by James Transmission Technology here in Midlothian, TX. I have to say James knows his stuff. Trans is tight and shifts perfectly. I have a feeling this issue has nothing to to with the work done as the first couple of weeks after there was no...

    FASS 150 Relay

    Originally installed my FASS150 in 2007. 16 years of service. Probably 8 years ago it quit. Long story short I put a new motor in it but it still didn't work. It was the relay. Fast forward to today. Pump won't shut off when I shut down. I think the relay is stuck. That's today's task.

    Thinking body control module

    Been having issues with a light out indicator but yesterday something weird happened. I noticed using my key fob the lights didn't flash and horn didn't beep. Then when I got home that seemed to be working again but the chime was going off like the lights were on or the key was still in the...

    Front driveshaft rebuild or new

    At 200k my 2004 4x4 driveshaft has a bad u-joint. I see you can get new ones fully assembled for 250-400 bucks. It's got 3 u-joints and I have the means to change them out. Any recommendations will be appreciated. BTW I searched front driveshaft and got basically nothing back in the search which...

    The classic 2004 and up driveline vibration rehash....

    I bought my truck brand new in 2004 and joined this forum around that time. Been 17 years. Still have the vibe. Many had the infamous driveline vibration at 60-70mph. I remember taking mine in for warranty and the dealership refused to test drive it cause they didn't allow their techs to drive...

    John Deere 4.5L Turbodiesel shut down issue

    Here's something weird I recently discovered with my 28 Model A powered by a John Deere 4.5L Turbodiesel. I started experiencing a strange phenomenon when shutting it down. Randomly when I turn the key off, it would continue running for a while. I have a red light push button start button on the...

    2004 Fan Clutch Debacle.

    First I need to tell the story leading up to the debacle. It was pretty much my fault. Years ago I replaced the radiator and the trans cooler. I didn't notice in the repair manual that the lower part of the shroud was held in place by sliding down into four tabs on the main shroud. Remember this...

    I'm Installing a new fan clutch 2004 check it out

    Somehow the lower shroud came loose.. fell part way down and the fan cut the CAT5 LOL cable. Got 185,500 on the truck but only 10k on a rebuilt 5.9 cause a valve guide dropped. I paid a shop to pull the motor... sent it out for rebuild and same shop re-installed it. I think there were a few...

    Steering Box Upgrade (reposted)

    123,000 miles. I installed the updated 08 steering linkage back in 08. Since then the link at the pitman arm is about ready to pop off. Steering box is shot. Sector shaft moves all over the place even with the Defiant brace. I can't imagine what it would do if I removed the brace. Thuren trac...

    Seat recline lever broke off

    I'm going to try this again. Has anyone come up with a solution other than buying the entire assy for 200 dollars to repair that cheap plastic lever that breaks off if you hit it with your butt jumping out of the truck?

    04 Headlight Upgrade

    Had my truck since new. As we all know the headlights are terrible. Better bulbs helped. I then added a light bar with three large Hella driving lights. Polished the lenses once a few years ago but they have gone hazy once again. I decided to replace the headlights with stock replacements. Then...

    2004 rear brake line fitting wrong size at bracket

    My rear brake line, the one that connects to the end of the hard line at the bracket above the rear axle. The flexible one with the distribution block bolted to the top of the axle went rusty and leaking at the connection. I got a new one... pulled the old one out only to discover the new one...

    Belt Tensioner Pulley Replacement

    2004 5.9 I see there is a pulley available as a replacement for the tensioner. Looking at the replacement tensioner assemblies there looks to be a cover over where the bolt is. Does this just pop off? Or is the bolt head on the other side?
