That nuts. I thought about that but didn't have any when I did it. This time I over torqued it a little. I will pick up some Loctite and keep an eye on it.

The bolt was pretty well lodge in there thank goodness.

So, I serviced my rear differential Friday. That all went well. While lying under the truck taking the cover off, I happened to notice that my right rear shock upper bolt had backed all the way out and was just hanging on at an angle. Surprised I didn't lose it. Most of my driving is pavement so that probably helps. Guess I didn't torque it right back when I did my shocks in November 2023. I was able to jack it up and reinstalled the bolt.

Back with a little update. I read that LED aftermarket lights can sometimes affect the gauges and cause issues. So I decided to switch back to stock headlights to see if that was the problem and I have not had the problem since doing that. Seems a little weird it just started happening after running the led lights for 5 month.

Did you ever figure out the cause of your problems? I am experiencing the same issues. I am checking my grounds this week. I already replaced my battery since it was 4.5 years old.

Talked to the mechanic at work and he said he will scan it for me Friday to see if there are any codes.

Thank you. I do plan to check the grounds tomorrow. I watched the video that was posted in this thread. Just trying to get this problem situated without going to the dealer.

Have not. I don't think I can do that with my cheap ODB ll code reader. Since we have an auto shop with mechanics where I work my Plan is to drive it to work and get them to scan it. I will make sure to check the BCM codes.

I just used my multimeter and watched it as I started the truck. Which the truck doesn't have any issues starting. I probably should have gone and had it tested with a load tester. Anyways the battery is just about 4.5 years old. I went ahead and replaced the battery today with a fresh one just due to age. The new battery did not make any difference. Still doing the same thing. Remember this issue only happens when I shift into gear. My next step is to check the grounds. Then I will try to be observant when I am driving to see if I notice any gauge malfunction like it does at start up.

So today I went out and tested the battery and it tested ok. This issue only happens when the gear sifter is moved for some reason. Will check the grounds later when it warms up.

Thanks for the videos! I found a similar one talking about the grounds. I will test the battery, but I am just going to replace it anyway. Although it starts fine, the last time I had to replace the original battery it stranded me. Left for work and stopped for coffee and when I came back out to leave it was dead not even a click.

So, for the past couple weeks I have been noticing my gauges and message center going nuts on startup. When I start up then shift to Drive is when it starts to happen. You will see the shift never light up drive, the message center starts showing different messages, and the tpms I am posting a video. I have not done any trouble shooting or testing of anything but thought I would post the video to see if other have had similar issues. Now my battery is probably going on 5 years old, so I am leaning thinking that is possible issue. I know with my Volvos, when the battery gets weak the dash lights will start to do similar things like this. This weekend I will try to test the battery. Another thing I noticed is when I remote start and then unlock to get in the truck that the truck will shut off when I open the door. This did not happen before. https://youtu.be/gZ4SGQrXJKk

Ok, yea if you want to keep those wheels you will need a spacer. Like I said I have Rough Country uppers arms and they require .25. When I did my lift, I did wonder had I used a different control arm would it still rub, and you pretty much answered that for me. I opted for new wheels with a different offset. I consulted with the main financial advisor in the house and she didn't give me a NO so new wheels it was.

What size is your stock wheel you are running? I have rough country control arms and I rubbed with the 18'' wheels. Rough country states that you will need a .25'' spacer to avoid that or else get new wheels with a different offset.

The tire tread lines pretty mu up with the fender and the sidewall is what is just outside the fender.
