Got a Curt Echo bluetooth brake controller for a camping trailer we're going to rent in a few weeks. Tried to set it up tonight. Downloaded the app but the brake controller doesn't seem to be getting any power. My iPhone says "device found" but there is no list of devices and the LED doesn't...

I'm having knee replacement surgery in a couple weeks and I'll be down and unable to drive a bit longer than last time because it's my right knee. It will sit for at least a month. Truck will be in an unheated garage. It is unlikely that my wife will drive it. She has legit depth perception...

Discovered this trick recently. Where I live we get a lot of road tar and I get some tar remover and rub it off every spring before I wax. It's a PITA. This year I accidentally stumbled on this technique. Spray on the tar remover, let it sit a bit, and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Don't...

I disconnected the battery yesterday for a failed attempt at installing a leveling kit (in another thread). Today I noticed the auto up/down driver's window doesn't work. The window goes up and down fine with the switch, just not automatically. I followed instructions I found to disconnect the...

I got a Truxxx 1.5" leveling kit, Had a Truxxx on my old Sport Trac and liked it, quality product. Checked with a shop near my work and got quoted a ballpark of $400-$450 for three hours install and alignment ($100). JohnnyO decides to install it himself and save $300. Instructions from both...
