    Throttle Position Sensor starting to go?

    So, I have noticed this twice now where I will drive the truck about ten minutes and everything seems fine. I get to my destination, put it in park, and it's idling at about 1250-1300 rpm. I goose the peddle and nothing changes. But, if I turn it off then start right back up, it idles normal...

    Rag Joint

    Does anyone know if replacements for this are available and what p/n is? Or of there is a universal kit that works? Mine isn't shot but it's causing play and it's annoying. I tightened the bolts the other day and it helped, but I'd like to replace it. I've looked for a couple days at the...

    Ac Trouble

    Ok, so Saturday I replaced my compressor, vacuumed out the system, and charged the low side to just over 40. The air blew cool enough for me and all was fine. I checked the pressure on Sunday, and after the engine warmed up it was still where I charged it. It sat for a couple days since I'm...

    So, I Replaced My Tie Rods...

    ...and now my tires are showing pronounced positive camber, how does that happen? When I replaced them I made sure the new ones were as close to the same length as the old as I could get, but is this really something that happens? I knew I'd be taking it in for an alignment but I thought it...

    Strange Ac Issue

    At least it's strange to me. I've had the truck since October 2017, and I've always had this issue with the AC in that regardless if I have the AC switch pushed on or off, when I turn the on blower fan the compressor turns on. The only way to run the fan and not have the compressor turn on is...

    Leaking Coolant

    Hi Guys, A couple weeks back I had a major heat issue where I was driving on the freeway and notice my temp gauge was pegged. I got off the freeway and limped to my destination, gave it time to cool down, then limped it back home. The oil level was good, so I started checking things with the...

    Now that I have replaced the steering gearbox...

    ...my airbag light is flashing. I'm not really sure what I would have done to cause this> I did do some tapping on the steering column to get it properly lined up on the gearbox input shaft, but I didn't think I hit it very hard. I tried resetting it by using a method described here and other...

    Loose steering - bad center link?

    looking for opinions on whether I have a bad center link. I've had play in my steering wheel ever since I bought my X, and an in jacking it up and having someone turn the wheel back and forth I keep coming back to the center link. I could feel a slight clunk and hear one too. And it just...

    So something happened on the way home...

    ...last Friday night. I'm driving on the freeway and I drove over one of those large seams where an overpass and the next section meet, and I hear this loud clunk in the back end. I thought it was strange but the truck didn't drive any different and it happened only the one time, so no big...

    New guy in AZ

    Hey everyone. I picked up a 2003 SE 4x4 about five weeks ago and have enjoyed it so far. I'm more of a destination driver than a wheeling driver, camping and hiking, but I've always wanted a 4x4 just for the added capability to get where I want to go...and back. I haven't done much except on...
