    2007 megacab water leak into cab

    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...

    G56 oil comparison.

    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...

    G56 oil comparison.

    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...

    Tie Rod Ends

    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...

    Just started today.

    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.

    3rd Gen Cruise Control Pulses going downhill

    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.

    Cleaned the MAP sensor

    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...

    service repair manuels!!!!!

    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...

    Cleaned the MAP sensor

    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.

    Cleaned the MAP sensor

    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...

    Cleaned the MAP sensor

    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 ?

    Tail gate shocks

    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.

    oil message at 3200k

    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...

    Manual Transmission (operating fluid?)

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

    G56 - any aftermarkets with more gears

    Would love to have a 7 or 8 spd for lower revs/higher speed cruising empty. Anyone heard of aftermarket replacements or a trans from a larger truck fitting ?

    Does Not Make Sense - Oil Change Required Message

    Can you hook up a code reader and see if there are any codes getting logged. If I remember correctly some of the factors for the oil change light coming on are: Mileage Engine overheat Oil dilution from diesel, maybe you have too many DPF cleanings going on ? There's probably a few...

    Will turbo set any codes if not spooling up?

    I been the P2262 route already. There's an issue on how it counts the codes, w/o looking it up if I recall correct, it had to code 3 times in a row before the CIL would come on, if it did it twice, and you shut down the count sequence would start again. This went for weeks with mine before the...

    Block Heater vs Driveway Pitch ?

    Does the way the truck is parked matter to the effectiveness of the block heater ? My driveway has an approx 6 degree up angle (maybe more) and I'm just wondering if the coolant stays in proper contact with the heater when it's parked like that or is the heater just in an air pocket ?

    P2262 code self cleared with AS flash ??

    Update - two weeks ago at just over 25k the turbo started acting up again and this time logged two P2262 codes and turned the CEL on. I made an appointment at a different dealer last Thursday and on Friday morning they called and said they were going to replace the turbo. :) Picked the...
