Hi folks - I got a Radflo 2.5" kit from Overland Warehouse a long time ago. Front coilovers were replaced about 2 years ago after someone ran into my parked truck; rear shocks are still from the original kit. It looks like the cushions above/below the mounting point have deteriorated and are...

I'm about to replace both inner & outer tie rods on both sides & came across this looking for tips/tricks. The steering linkage reassembly page in the service manual (Doc ID: RM0000039T100IX) says to "Fill up the ball joints of the steering rack ends with MP grease", and I don't see that step...

I keep a pretty low profile (and post count) but have spent countless hours since 2010 reading & learning from most of the people on this thread. Took some time off when I got more in to long range shooting ($$$) but still find plenty of helpful info on here from time to time. Hats off to all...

Thank you very much for this write-up. It's been years since I did my lift & I've forgotten a lot of it; your write-up will be very helpful. I'm confused about one part: "Also, make sure the Lower Control Arm is supported by a jack. The weight of the vehicle needs to be on the UCA for the...

Thanks again - I think I'm going to skip the flush/bleed process. Not sure I completely understand everything that's going on with it & don't want to mess something up. It was nice to be able to do this myself on past cars; MityVac worked like a champ.

Thanks Lester, that was the part of the manual that concerned me. Also great info regarding the MC - I won't be buying that extra baster! I'm still a little paranoid and may not be completely getting it - will using a vacuum pump to flush the fluid actually cause damage/potential failure or...

Resurrecting this old thread... Changing the pads & rotors on my 2010 tomorrow and read the same passage in the RM. I was thinking about flushing the lines with a one-man vacuum pump so the fluid is new (whether needed or not), but don't want to run into any problems. The idea was to keep the...

Every time I drive a rental car (too often) I snap people's necks for the first few stops. The 4R brakes are definitely softer than what I've had in prior cars, but you get used to them.

My limited came with the 3rd row; used it 2 or 3 times to haul extra kids. It was definitely not comfortable for adults, and it sucked not having any storage space in the back other than on top of the seats. I pulled out the seats & sold them; built a storage box to replace it. The box is...

The truncation makes the song titles come out pretty funny at times though... It's a very irritating issue w/ the radio - surprised they haven't changed it since the 2010 version came out.

SOLD Thank you for your interest

***** SOLD ****** For sale, set of 5 Limited Edition Wheels (2010). Includes 4 polished wheels + primed spare (the yellow one). 15k miles on them, only a few minor blemishes you have to look CLOSELY to see. Includes center caps & lug nuts. Does NOT include TPMS or tires. Wheels are in...

Sell 'em and get the Duratracs IMHO

Misspoke slightly here; it's the 2 bolts that are hidden in the tie downs as well as several clips underneath; you just pull it up to disconnect the clips after the bolts are out. You shouldn't have to take out the trim panels to the side or the plastic cover at the rear of the truck unless...

If it's anything like the 2010 all you have to do is remove the bolts in the tie-down spots toward the rear of the truck. What you have labeled as 1/2/3 is actually all one piece (or is on the 2010). #1 and the unlabeled panel to the left of it aren't actually attached to anything - the entire...
