When I ordered my 2000 in July, 1999, they had the regular size or the fixed TT mirrors, and were waiting for the power TT mirrors that would power slide in and out, and tilt the mirror. I don't think those actually became available until around the 2002-2004 model (or later). I was always dissappointed that the power slide-in feature wasn't available for several years, but I heard at the time that they were having problems with the...

Quote: And what do you guys recommend for occasional towing and optimum fuel economy? 3.73, with or without LS, was all that was available in the SRW pickups. Duallys had the optional 4.10 LS. There is a 10 percent...

My 4x4 and LOW lights haven't worked for awhile now, but I know when I put it in 4-hi and 4-low so I'm not really that worried about it.

I do not know about the fuse, but it sounds like you have 2 burnt out bulbs.... If low beams are working and no high beams, they are the same bulb. The truck shuts one filament off and turns the other one on. It is rare to have both go out, but I have seen it happen. If both bulbs are burnt out then no power is completing the circuit and therefore no indicator light for the high beams. The fog light could be as simple as the switch on the...

ultra low sulfer fuel is the only thing you will get out of a pump nowadays. it is a good idea to use some sort of additive to help the injectors and fuel system to replace the sulfer that isn't in the fuel anymore.

I am also in Northern Cal. And my truck sits on the driveway for weeks at a time. I will start it and vary the RPM's until I feel warm water in the upper hose and then I may put it in drive and go 10 feet forward and 10 feet back and shut it off. My old '86 sat in the back yard for MONTHS at a time and never failed to fire up.

Thanks for the tip! - there is a green wire labeled "High center mounted stop light" attached to...

Here's a good writeup on ball joint replacement that covers the hubs as well. TheDieselStop.Com - www.thedieselstop.com If you have manual hubs, then that's probably not the cause of your 4x4 not working. If you have a shift knob on the dash, then someone has replaced the auto-locking hubs with manuals. If that's the case, look at the electrical shift motor or the relays that control it. If the hubs say AUTO-LOCK on them by the...

Hmmmm definitely some stuff to look into, the heat from the turbo makes sense, especially because my downpipe was leaking right onto the firewall, except that it was acting up when the truck was cold. I think i am going to pull it out and take it "somewhat" apart to see if anything jumps out at me. if that doesn't work i'll probably just settle for having a tape deck and the ipod hooked up directly to the deck until...
