    Low oil pressure

    You need to install a manual gauge and check the oil pressure. The light or gauge on the dash does NOT give you the pressure reading. It only tells you the pressure is above 7 PSI. It's a fancy idiot light. If you are hearing clattering on start up, then there is a pressure problem. Fix it...

    Intake timing retarted to no oil pressure

    Sounds like the new cam phasers died. Lose of oil pressure gave you the valve clatter noise. The oil pressure gauge only tells you that you have 7 PSI or more. When it drops to 0 PSI it means there is less than 7 PSI. A fancy idiot light. Your engine is probably toast. You should have stopped...

    Air Ride vs Standard Suspension?

    Yes, you have the standard coil spring suspension. Mike

    Driver front caliper locking up.

    Sensors should not be able to lock the caliper. The only thing that can lock a caliper is gunk in the fluid or rusted piston. Could also be something broken on the caliper mount. Maybe a bolt frozen. This is where I would start. M

    AC not working, Hi Temp Light on, P1289

    Probably. If the sensor is not bad then changing it won't do anything but waste time and money. Test the circuit to determine if the sensor or wires going to it are at fault. Mike

    bad misfire and stall

    Need more info. Mileage, when were the plugs last changed. Give a general overview of the truck. Any mods. Just because the codes say coil pack failed does not mean bad coils.

    A/C stops under load

    Normal. Computer shuts down the A/C under heavy loads. Most manufacturers do this and have for many years. Mike

    A/C trouble

    Apparently, the computer disables the compressor when it senses a misfire in the engine. This was reported by another member in a thread. I also had the same happen to me a couple weeks ago. My # 6 coil has a bad clip on it's connector and backed out of the coil. Started with a miss and no A\C...

    Broken spark plug

    That looks like there is a bunch of greasy dirt packed down in the bottom. May be keeping the socket from getting around the hex. Take a pick or skinny screw driver and see if you can clean it up. Mat also spray some solvent down there to loosen it up. Blow it out with compressed air. Mike

    Cat back Exhaust upgrade

    Thank you for the reply. I did find one on Amazon and purchased it there. Works great. As you said I had to trim it to fit. Put a long skinny screw though the pipe to keep it in. Mike
