    Adaptive windshield wiper?

    33” tire reprogram?

    Most dealer programming or reprogramming on newer vehicles is done based upon their VIN - which has specific features and options associated with it.

Oil filters must filter at a specific oil pressure and operate at a specific higher oil pressure, enable a certain oil flow volume, be able to filter particles of a certain small size (or larger), hold a...

    What's wrong with my brakes?

    Have you examined the caliber slides? Are they clean and lubricated with high-quality brake lube? If not, the brake pads will not move smoothly and can cause a vibration or chatter.

    Truck got broken into!

    And many in our country accept and make excuses for thieves - “It’s a non-violent crime......”. What happened to our country? Why does our society accept so much crime and disorder, while making excuses for the offenders?

    Gas mileage variable

    For every 10 degree Fahrenheit drop in ambient temperature, the vehicle tire pressure will drop about 1 psi. In much colder weather, vehicle tires will become under inflated (unless the driver inflates the tires) - causing a drop in fuel mileage. When the weather warms, the tire pressure will...

    Replaced radio, now no backup camera or sensors?

    I’m fairly certain that the new radio must be matched to your truck’s VIN.

    Leaking third brake light 2016

    If you buy a new OEM brake lamp assembly, it comes with a gasket attached. Based upon the part number suffix’s - the part has been updated or revised numerous times. I replaced mine with a new assembly several years ago (instead of adding gasket material) - and have had no leaks.

    AC condenser fan… Again

    I’m not sure about the OEM fan assembly - but it probably lasted a long time. The (probably made-in-China) aftermarket from O’reilley’s sounds as though it was not the best quality.
