My rear end has been dripping more and more...I bought a pinion seal thinking that was the issue- it's not! I dropped off the truck for service and the tech got to picking the rust around the base of the snout and exposed a weep hole! Any idea what I can use to fix it? Metal epoxy, JB weld, real wel...

I can't seem to locate these for sale. Before I hit the local dealership I thought I'd check here first. PM me if you have a quality set I could buy. Mine are rusted badly. Thanks!

Bingo! I replaced the R brake hose and it fixed my problem instantly. I finally walked by the truck after I parked it amd heard the caliper releasing slowly and methodically... I'm assuming the master cylinder had pressure to force fluid in but the hose was occluded too much to let the pressure back...

<t>I have a recently increasing instance of calipers dragging once they warm up (I.e after a few hard stops). I've replaced all 4 of them so far and have even backed off the parking brake to the point it hardly functions. My problem is that my rear caliper will drag (I.E. The wheel gets hot and I ca...

Yeah- 3rd gen...floss is an awesome idea!

I recently bought a tailgate and need to get the existing emblems off. Is there an acceptable way to do it so as not to ruin the underlying paint? Heat? Cold? Scraping? Solvent? Anyone have an experience doing this? Thanks all!

HUMBLE PIE! We ran the truck with the rear wheels on a lift and still felt the shudder. After we lifted the whole truck up we discovered that the front u-joint on the rear drive shaft was indeed bad- but only in one orientation- otherwise it behaved like a normal joint. I can't believe that was all ...

Well, back to the shop today. Wish me luck. I pricing transfer cases just as a precaution. What would you do if needed? Rebuild the original one, buy remanned? Buy new? Thanks all.

Ugh! So I torched two bolt heads off and removed the front driveshaft...the symptoms are the same if not worse!! I rordered (and prepaid) new bolts already before I read your offer Damage- sorry. I would have gladly bought yours instead. I truly hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, it's beyond f...

So I took another tranny guy for a ride and he really thinks it's the front drive shaft. Im in the process of pulling it but the. problem is one of the T40 bolts to the front axle flange is stripped....my luck isn't the best lately. Anyone have any ideas how to get it out? It was really on there tig...

And the dance continues....finally got the truck on the lift today. It definitely needs new upper ball joints, but the rear driveshaft universals were fine. In fact, all the universals looked good...the issue seems to have worsened from last week and NOW when I put it in 4wd (going straight at any s...

No squeaks so far. I did take another master mechanic for a ride today and he was shocked that he could feel the vibration in the passenger's seat and even more so when I let off the gas it nearly went away in an instant...needless to say, I scheduled some rack time next Friday. We are going to pull...

The rear has never been serviced. I had the the front diff rebuilt because of a bad pinion bearing a couple years ago.

Will a bad u-joint be detectable by simply jacking up the rear wheels and spinning the driveshaft in neutral?

Today I had a trusted Tranny guy drive the truck and he insists that it is a bad universal in the rear drive shaft that is causing my vibration. I guess that's a cheaper fix but if true it makes me mad because I changed them out once already about 15k miles ago. I visually inspected the joints and I...

UPDATE- I checked all the universals and they look OK- I have replaced them all within the last couple years...it now seems like the issue is more defined in second and third gear. Does that change or influence anyone's opinion?

Need to do all four of them.. XRF or Moog? My truck is treated like a cream puff or the most part...Opinions please!

Wow! Thank you for the good info, I appreciate your interest in my dilemma. To update-: I checked the fluid and it was down a full quart and a half. Initially, it seemed to cure 90% of the shudder but after I let it cool down and drove the truck cold the symptoms returned. I think I can more specifi...

Also, it still does it even in tow/haul mode..

Sorry, guys I didn't give you enough info....it's a 2005 with 157k on it. Ran like a dream up until two days ago..

All- My PW just developed a significant and Intermittnet low speed shudder in the drive train that is most pronounced when the truck is under light throttle and shifts to a higher gear (i.e. 1-2). As soon as I give it gas it seems to go away but returns once again at low throttle. The 4wd shifter le...

I have one on my truck. Ehhhh... I think the computer eventually corrects for everything.

I already replaced the cooler a few years ago but it looked like my truck pissed itself on the driveway. I crawled underneath and it appears that the rubber/braided cooler lines may have dry rotted. Does anyone know what size it is? I was thinking of simply using heater hose since it is on the low p...

Welp, I pulled the harness out and sure enough 3 wires are broke. One for the lock, one for the speaker and one for the dome light...I love it when a plan comes together..

So...my L rear door doesn't power lock anymore and neither of my rear speakers are working. Before I tear into the harnesses I just wondered if there is any reason related to the radio that may be the cause. My fader is squarely in the middle..I did install the factory Sirius set up and it has U-con...

Would this be an upgrade to the stock '05 steering? If so I'm interested.
