    Low beams stay on even with with no key in ignition and switch in off position. Cause: relay that's built into fuse box stuck in the "on" position

      that crappy azz throttle body coolant cork gasket decided it wanted to spring a leak- not really a surprise though.

        Brake lights are not working. When pedal is pressed they flicker for a moment then cut off. The fuse is good. Ideas?

          Try your brake switch. Just replaced mine after 20 years.

            Brake hardline blew out, I said fuck this shit and cut out all the old lines and replaced all the hardlines and replaced all the rubber ones with stainless, I ripped the ABS bullshit out, and made all my own lines, then i replaced clutch line with a stainless, the clutch slave bleeder broke so i hit Blunt up for a new slave. while i was there, Now im at the point of dropping the rear subframe to yank out the rear brake hardlines, and well while im there, ill change out all the rear bushings and install an lsd!,, Hands r gonna get dirty , woooo hooo!,

                ^ Mine did that the other day. One of the tabs holding the floating ring onto the sensor stalk had snapped so the float slipped off.

                  Lost engine compression while on a drive. FML. Hopefully have time to pull the head and inspect for carnage tomorrow, but might not be able to get around to it for a few days. Top end is rebuilt, thinking the bottom end might have given out.

                      --trunk is leaking and filling up the well on the left when it rains
                      --standing water on the floor behind passenger seat (connected to the truck leak? who knows?)

                      --weak power occasionally (low dash lights, radio intermittently works, engine runs a little rough, windows rolling and wipers slow to a crawl) for 20 minutes or so upon start-up
                      --slow coolant leak

                            Only the front passenger side speakers work.

                            Rattling from the front left wheel well area.

                            Would love to get this all sorted put before the Leavenworth drive.
