Re: '99 2.5 - Low Power, Rough Idle, Bad Gas Smell
Thanks for the help, both of you. I gave up and washed my hands of this, selling for $400 to a guy who drove it away on 1 cylinder. Godspeed, mystery man. It kind of hurts to give up on it, but it...

Re: '99 2.5 - Low Power, Rough Idle, Bad Gas Smell
Those bolts were on tighter than the o2 sensor, which I finally got off by heating the exhaust, hitting the base of the sensor with a rod and hammer, and using a pipe. I ran it a bit without the o2...

Re: '99 2.5 - Low Power, Rough Idle, Bad Gas Smell
That's outside my comfort zone but I'll give it a shot. I suspect the cat is clogged, whether that's a symptom or the original cause, it seems like it's definitely affecting it now, since the...

'99 2.5 - Low Power, Rough Idle, Bad Gas Smell
Edit: Truck has over 200k miles
This started happening out of the blue, after driving my truck a bit hard without giving it time to warm up (I'm not sure that has anything to do with this).

Re: Dome light and 12V power port always on, truck starts without key
I'm not seeing that behavior. No lights on the dash (or buzz) indicates the door is opened. I've read that the switch is in the latch, and it can get gummed up... Thanks for letting me know what...

Re: Dome light and 12V power port always on, truck starts without key
Thanks guys! Apparently the dome light is controlled by the dimmer switch on the dash. Is it controlled at all by the door? I couldn't get the dome light to respond to anything but the ignition being...

Dome light and 12V power port always on, truck starts without key
I have a weird electrical issue that I think is related to the fact that I don't have to have the key in the ignition to start and drive the truck.
Anything powered by ACC (when the key is in the...

Re: NO HEAT Troubleshooting Guide
I think the troubleshooting guide/flowchart needs to be updated. I flushed my heater core and voila, I have heat! Before I did that, when my heat didn't work, both tubes got too hot to touch, so I...

Re: NO HEAT Troubleshooting Guide
I have no heat in my 99 B2500. I followed the flowchart - the two hoses after the 4-way valve are both very hot after the truck warms up. The temperature gauge reads normal/middle. I pulled out the...
