    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    Ah, got it. Pretty funny that they didn't know it either, though. Oh, and I let mine run down until all bars are dark, and there will be a round green LED just to the left of the "E" mark.

    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    I guess I'll swing by the local service guys and order a new cap. Maybe that'll solve it. Hopefully it'll be less than $137.73. :)

    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    33 days? Holy Toledo! Is your DEF gauge completely blank, or does it just show completely full all the time, no matter what the DEF level is? What kind of alerts did you have showing on the display? When I bought my truck used, in Arizona, I had an amber ENGSYS and DEF/DPF warning go off, so I...

    Day One...not that this is going to go fast, or anything

    I'd estimate the bare bumper at around 90# (all aluminum), and that winch added about 125#. Light bar probably 10# or so, then add in shackles for another 10#, cornering lights plus harnesses for lights, maybe another 10#, 5# for radio antenna quick disconnects. So I'd say a pretty close...

    Does yours fit securely, or is it slightly loose?

    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    LOL....go over a really rough washboard at the wrong speed, and look on the top of your left shoe ;) When you open the driver door, look on the side of the dashboard, just inboard from the door. You'll see a window there that looks on a fluid reservoir, and two plastic panels on the side of the...

    Thanks Howard! Here are a couple more shots, including one showing how tight they were able to get it when the cab is tilted: Rolled out... Cab tilt - got pretty close!

    Lug nut indicator size question

    Got mine from Torque Tight, they sell 10 packs. If it matters to you, they might well not be exactly the same color, looks like they cut them out of different sheets of plastic, so if you want orange, you might get some fluorescent orange, some burnt orange, and some international orange LOL...

    Lots of companies sell, or build leaf suspensions. Heck, I've got one very good one locally, National Spring. In the past they've done terrific work on a Cummins powered Suburban that I have (which will be for sale soon...hey, blatant plug!). The difference between a LSS that has only a few...

    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    It's definitely the cap that's leaking. Does yours thread on, or just clip on? The one I've got clips on, there's no o-ring, and it's somewhat loose to begin with. Still in good condition, pliable, easy on/off, looks pretty new....but doesn't give a good seal.

    Brake fluid reservoir cap spew?

    After my little trip out to King of the Hammers, and the travel through lots of washboard, whoops, rocks, etc, I noticed an oil leak. Inside the cab, driver side, door jamb interior molding on the bottom. I traced it up to the brake reservoir, and it looks like with all the bouncing and...

    Which air compressor?

    I went with the ARB twin, but haven't had it long enough to really test it out. Reviews, though, like it, except for the cost.
