some more info on the symptoms my truck shows, maybe it will help diagnose where the issue could be, i still find it hard to digest that the compressor just STOPPEd, with no prior sign of issues....could it be the sensors? when its dark out, i can see the OFF light on the button for the auto...

thanks for the info, is there anyway you could send me a picture of what your mechanic did so i can show mine?

Thanks,,,,i was hoping it would be simpler, but maybe not. Car is going in for timing belt work so will have to address this. I don't tow anything, so all i really need right now is if the mechanic can manually inflate the bags to normal ride height...hopefully that will work for now. I cant...

Another post about failing ras in a 4thgen I’ve read thru the other posts, and I have a question to anyone who knows how the air lines are routed for the ras I noticed the other day a funny exhaust note, not sure what it was but I assumed it was a rusted pipe etc. on Sunday I was in traffic...

Hi all I live in Garden city NY and I need a good mechanic that knows our trucks and is not as expensive as a dealer. My 2006 is getting up there and things are breaking. Last year was the shocks and front hubs/bearings, getting all that fixed was a fiasco with multiple places & even a small...

question - my 2006 V8 has torn boots and im pretty sure all the grease by now has flung out. when i had the shocks done over the summer i saw the boots torn but didnt have the $ to replace the axles at the time. about a week ago i started hearing a droning noise that i thought was the low...

i know this is an old thread, wanted to run my issue w the immobilizer by the forum. not long ago, i noticed an issue, i would put the key in, turn the ignition and the car goes dead. no lights, no clock no key fob response. i found that if i touch the ignition key to the positive terminal on...

this may sound crazy,, but check that your gas cap is properly seated and closed all the way. same thing happened to me last summer and i almost had a cow, did a quick search and found that solution, it worked thankfully. i cant find the link i referenced, but before you go nuts trying to find...

i just ordered a set of bilstein 5100's for all 4 corners on my 2006 V8, i was going to get the 6112's for the front, but when it came time to pay the parts bill i couldn't justify the extra cost for the 6112's, and went w the height adjustable 5100 upfront and std 5100 in back...will be getting...

i like the show, it is what it is, entertainment, the banter back and forth between the three of them is funny at times, i get a kick out of it. i think the casting hs great balance, comedian, professional driver, and a techie/geeky awkaward guy...its a good fun show. at times i wish they got...

So i finally have the $$ to replace my shocks, my truck has 72000 mi on it, V8 w RAS. i was initially sold on the 6112/5100 combo, but now i'm looking at the costs and its a steep difference...is it really worth the extra 500-600 for the 6112's up front? how are the 5100's all around versus...

i know this is an old thread, but, i had a perpetual issue with this and imo had nothing to do w the disc. I found the sequence of screen touches (on this site) to get to the service menu of the nav, and from in there you could see that the GPS was only getting 1 or 2 satellites. even took the...

ARK - i am about to pull the trigger, found a nice deal at shock surplus for assembled 6112's and the rear 5100s, last question for now is what setting do you recommend to take the rake out and level the car w the rear... i figure i'll probably do the strutmasters or metal tech rear spring kit...

chuck, crutchfield has stuff that will fit... i was curios if the 4th gen Nav head unit had its own amp or are the 5 speakers and sub driven by a standalone amp? Im thinking about updating the speakers but am curious about the power in the system

im in the same boat as many, i did not like the 5th gen w/o the V8...the salesman sitting next to me in the passenger seat on the test drive kept trying to sell me that the performance was the same as the V8...i recall specifically putting my foot to the floor, and turning my head to face him as...
