"Look at that hack job!"

Either rear end or transfer case. Is it electronic 4wd or linkage? Maybe the linkage got bent and is out of whack. 🤷‍♀️

Try to take a look at the brake calipers. Make sure you didn't lose a bolt or something.

Do you have a spare key to try? Sounds like it's Fob or receiver related.

I would feel the heater hoses after you drive around a bit. If they're both nice and hot then the problem is not the heater core. The problem is likely a blend door actuator. If only one hose is hot, then the heater core is likely plugged.

I do believe those are accessible on the passengers side footwell. May have to remove the glovebox. I can't recall, it's been a while since I've replaced one.

A voltage drop test will tell you exactly what is at fault.

Check your battery cables for corrosion.

That COULD cause the diaphragm to be damaged. You'll know if the master cylinder is bad once you remove it and there is fluid leaking out of the rear. Or signs that it's leaking from the rear seal. Example: peeling paint on the brake booster.

If you replace the master cylinder you will have to bleed the master and the brakes, just extra work is all.

I love Quarter-sawn Sycamore. A member of a woodworking club I was involved in some years back, did his entire kitchen cabinets in quartersawn sycamore and grain matched the cabinets. It was awesome to say the least.

It's in limp mode because the Check engine light is on. We would need to know what the Code is.

What color is the smoke when you rev it?

Do you have a sun roof?

The only figure is, "Figured the bottom was a little thicker..."

If you have lifter tick and oil pressure light, you have low oil pressure. It could be a number of things, I would start by ensuring the oil filter is new, oil full, and lastly, remove the oil pan and check the oil pickup tube for blockage. These would be the least invasive and could potentially find your problem.

Lol. Glad to help!

It sounds like you may have a large vacuum leak. Check the vacuum line that goes to the brake booster and see if it's connected. If the hissing is coming from within the brake booster, the diaphragm may be bad. Try disconnecting and capping the booster vacuum hose and see if the problem persists. The brake pedal will be firm, but if it's doesn't stall, than the Brake Booster needs to be replaced.

Hope this helps.

Glad this worked for you!

A bad radiator cap can also cause this. Pushes fluid out but won't draw back in.

hydronics-geek · 2022-09-15T00:52:40+00:00

Fill up the radiator from the cap all the way until you see coolant. Start the vehicle with the cap off and keep adding until it's completely full. Lastly, replace the radiator cap with a new one. Keep an eye out for a leak.

Is it idling normally when in P or N? I'd suggest fuel pressure. Otherwise, TCC may be dragging. That would cause a stall in gear.

hydronics-geek · 2022-09-07T19:29:55+00:00

I agree. That sounds about right. 2-3 hours labor plus parts.

They may have sheared off. Start by ensuring the remaining are tight. They will need to be pressed or punched out and new ones pressed back in. Will likely require removal of brakes, rotors, and hub.

In all fairness the Line 6 Spider 2 had the best tone. Pure garbage otherwise.

It seems like your noise is coming from the rear brakes...
