Mine's shifting rough at higher speeds, when it downshifts from 10th to 9th & 8th. New DPFE didn't help. :(.

So, the last two mornings driving to work the heater fan has switched from blowing out the dash & foot vents to blowing out just the windshield vents all on its own. Something going I should be worried about, or do I just rename my truck Herbie?

Not constantly lol. just a mile or two once in a while. It's not a new concept, people have been 'cleaning the cobwebs' out of vehicles forever.

You don't need a fuel additive. Buy your gas from a Top Tier station and don't baby your vehicle....take it out on the highway once in a while and run it up to 120-130 for a couple of miles. City & rural driving is lilke 'death by a thousand cuts' for a car.

I'd be getting more quotes! Insurance these days doesn't even cover the vehicle anyway, for the most part. It covers personal injury. In a serious accidents the cost of the 'written off' vehicle is peanuts compared to the cost of compensating a person for injury. I found this out when I went...

I'm either going to catch a lot of flak for suggesting this or I'm going to be a hero for suggesting this, but here goes nothing.......buy a current generation Frontier. If I was in the market, that's what I'd buy.

I was getting the same symptoms at lower speeds. Replaced the DPFE sensor, now I'm getting the jerking at higher speeds 60mph - 90mph. Frustrating!!

Agreed, and one doesn't even have to have a turbo. I put one in my old Volvo 240 and it ruined the Mass Air Flow within no time, it was located between the filter and the engine intake. That wire in it the size of a hair looked like a dirty pipe cleaner lol. I can only imagine what it'll do...

A K&N filter will cause more issues than it'll help.

If your truck is rusty there, chances are 100% it's rusty in places you can't see! Get your truck undercoated ASAP. Find a local Fluid Film, Wool Wax or Surface Shield sprayer.

I'm thoroughly convinced they're not putting quality driveline fluids in during assembly. I bought my ranger used with 20k on it. First week I owned it I changed both diffs & transfer case fluids......all three looked like grey milk, and all three magnetic drain plugs had so much metal dust on...

I've been getting a shudder when accelerating from 'on ramp speed' up to 'highway speed'. Usually only one or two little ones. Well, last night I got about 20 shudders, engine light blinking, and it continued to shudder even when I backed off the accelerator. It eventually smoothed out and I...

The only thing I'm timid of is putting too much or two little fluid back in. The 'old method' of just measuring what comes out doesn't seem accurate on newer vehicles. I think older vehicles had a wide tolerance.

K&N's marketing dept. has done a fine job convincing the general public into thinking they're superior....for the 'normal joe'. They have their place, but it's on the race track. I used to go to local rally races where guys would race their daily driver rice burners. When they arrived they'd...

Mikede 150lb pull....Amazon.com

Don't over think it, or over work it. Just lay the liner back up where it goes, the magnets will hold anywhere along that outer edge. Just use black ones, not chrome ones like me lol. I bought a 10 pack of these years ago to put on all my oil filters and couldn't be bothered to buy new black...

I'm getting 4 or 5 'thuds' when accelerating from on-ramp speed to highway speed. Kinda freaks me out when it happens.

Great idea. I use strong magnets.

I used to undercoat as a side-hustle. That's pretty common, that sand and debris acts like sandpaper in there and wears off any paint that's in it. Plus, the dirt holds moisture and NEVER dries out. I'm not familiar with Waxoyl, but I never undercoat with anything that even remotely dries ...

Rough ride is one thing, LT's are are also hard on shocks and suspension. If you're feeling that harsh ride just imagine the added activity on your shocks! Play with the tire pressure.....lower it as much as you dare but keep a CLOSE eye on uneven tread wear. Raise the pressure a bit if needed.
