I have had a coolant leak come on pretty heavily in the last couple of days. I had noticed the engine heating up the past week and a half. I added some coolant to the overflow tank and it ran low again. Then, 2 days ago, the truck overheated. Steam everywhere and a very evident hissing when...

Well, I did discover that the torx bolts had become loose, so those have been tightened. I also found that the thumbwheel bracket has broken, but it's broken on the "selector" side with the bare wire. The zip tie fix will not work. As long as that's the only problem, I can live with the...

Oddly enough....it feels as though the shudder is coming from the front. However, as the 4 wheel drive will not engage, I don't see how this would happen.....
