    The pressure should drop off

    Check to see if the ground is good

    try running a separate ground to the trailer, you could use a jumper cable to see if that cures the problem and if it does rig up something permanent. I put self drilling screws with crimp on ring terminals on my hitch and trailer with male/female spade connectors for the disconnect on my trailer after the ground wire in the plug broke

    It all depends on how the truck is driven, a rule of thumb for most vehicles is 35-40k miles it's time for at least new pads, of course lots of hi-way miles will extend that and conservative driving habits as well. My trucks haul a trailer and are loaded to the max on a regular basis so I use NAPA severe duty pads and have had good results so far

    You can have good fuel pressure with insufficient volume, does your fp gauge have a dump valve on it? If so open the dump valve with the engine running, it should stay running if the volume is ok
  6. richard wysong
    yes they both will increase with the rpms

    Exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold would be a common thing with those symptoms, look for broken/missing bolts, you will probably have to inspect through the wheel wells

    Probably a scam, posting someone elses pics is a huge red flag

    No cracked leafs?, Rotted hangers? Hanger bushings?
  10. richard wysong
    Yes

    Welcome to the forum. You cannot convert a 2wd truck to 4wd, the frames are completely different.

    Common transfer case leak is the seam between the case halves. if you split the case to seal it you may find the oil pump has been damaged by the chain. they make a shield to protect it from happening again

    With the belt off you can check the tensioner and idler pulleys, they should spin quietly and smoothly also check the water pump bearing

    Sounds like a torque converter issue, 35-40 is when it locks up. If it fails you will have to rebuild the transmission to repair the damage. If you replace it now with a billet converter you may avoid that but it sounds like the damage may have already been done

    unplugging the pressure switch on the suction line should shut it off, easier to get to than the compressor wires.
  16. richard wysong
    Look to see if the compressor is running with the heat on, it does run on the defrost setting heat or a/c to dehumidify. The compressor has its own belt and tensioner pulley so my guess is the tensioner pulley is on its way out but it could be just the belt

    I believe the obd is powered by the lighter fuse . There have been a few posts of similar symptoms but nothing definite on the cause or solution other than the bad connections in the power distribution box under the hood and bad grounds affecting the bcm. Your symptoms are mild compared to most that disable the truck
  18. richard wysong
    ignition switch would not affect power to the obd port,
  19. richard wysong
    Check ALL fuses, a test light makes it quick and easy, under the hood and in the cabin, if that's ok check the underhood fuse box for corrosion, you may have to remove and clean the fuse connections

    You could reprogram it so it doesn't move automatically. I don't think it is supposed to move until the key is in the ignition
  21. richard wysong
    Yeah you need a scan tool that does live data to see what the problem is. The temp gauge and actual outside temp have nothing to do with what the sensors are reporting to the PCM . I would check the fuel pressure AND volume. There is a filter in the tank that may be clogging and then the debris washes off enough to restart
  22. richard wysong
    Its tempered glass unless someone replaced it themselves when it broke. I asked the glass place to repair mine with safety glass and they refused , said too much liability if ever in a crash
  23. richard wysong
    Fuel filter, ignition control module, clogged injectors , vacuum leak are all possibilities. A scan tool that does live data may be needed to determine the fault. Do not try to adjust the idle. Try cleaning the idle air control valve, it may be stuck or if it is running so poorly that it can't raise the idle enough. Look down the venturi on the throttle body and see if both injectors are spraying evenly, shining a timing light on the spray may help you see the pattern. what does the scanner read for coolant and ambient temperature?

    We will look forward to the return of your daily joke when you recover
  25. richard wysong
    Same here. Wish you a speedy recovery and better results than anticipated
