    Non Duramax electrical gremlin

    This is what I have been leaning towards. I also think there is a solenoid on the brake shift lever lock out thingamabob. The ignition switch isn't cheap nor easy to change. Although willing to do don't want to if it isn't needed plus the whole two king thing . Also if it is the ignition...

    Non Duramax electrical gremlin

    That's what I'm going to have to do is put this thing up on ramps and check the voltage at the starter. I'm just so baffled how or why it starts fine when the ambient tempature is cool but Yet when it's 80/90 degrees outside gets hot in the car and it's stuck. The battery terminals are tight...

    Non Duramax electrical gremlin

    That is or was my thought also ,the starter but like I said the car sits all night all morning motor is cold hasn't ran for hours then the heating of the day warms up the interior and the car will not spin over. Leave it do nothing go back to it at 8 o'clock at night when it's cooled off and it...

    Non Duramax electrical gremlin

    I want to add once the car starts it's fine after that. In other words say she gets lucky and the car starts when the interior is hot,I mean if you keep messing with it wiggle this jiggle that it spins over and starts. Then drive to the store or what ever come back out in a hour or so car spins...

    Non Duramax electrical gremlin

    Driving me nuts. I figure I'd toss this out there maybe someone has had a similar issue. 1997 Nissan Sentra GXE When the car sits outside and the interior gets hot the car will not spin over. All the instrument cluster lights illuminate it just will NOT spin over! Now if you go back outside...

    Dmax Fail!

    You might be right there is a lot of tow in on the passenger side wheel. Bottom line it is always about traction. The duramax lots of torque spun the tires and with the VW and all wheel drive it would yank anything around . If you've driven a AWD with traction control they are pretty slick.

    Local cab driver attacked by drunk Marine

    Perhaps alcohol got the best of him along with being a marine went to his head . I don't even understand why being a marine is being brought up anyway. If anything he certainly wasn't acting like a true marine. This is a alcohol induced invincible tattooed tough guy that once caught will be...

    Local cab driver attacked by drunk Marine

    The coloring book guy is a tool bag for sure. The cabby was in a tough spot . Everyone is saying he or anyone should defend themselves. Agreed but are you really watching the video like I am? The tool bag had the upper hand as soon as he started threatening violence the cabby should have...

    Help with the truck that no one can tune

    Not for nothing but with a username like the one you have I would not expect anything different. ;) One thing I have learned over the years is there is at least three sides to every story. His side your side and some where in the middle. I'm not picking sides but there has to be something...

    What's under warranty the name for your truck? Nice truck by the way. That's the first time I seen that type of a air cleaner set up if that is what that is out front on the passenger side.
