i have TOGS on my 03. the OE # i use is EO NO..D-549 they are for a 04. have not had any issue with smog. if they say their for a 01, then there should be a EGR tube on them i believe...or as above find a other shop...good luck

Growl when on throttle in front goes away when coasting
desrtrat replied to Runabum's topic in General SS
drain your front diff. and check for metal. common front end issue with carrier bearings going bad. good luck -
yes, if that's so, i just have never noticed it before, have had the truck new since in 03.. thanks...

battery went stone dead the other night, and had to jump it off(27*) so it was time anyway for a new one. ever since i jumped it off the passlock icon on the cluster has been on when i set the remote, and stays on about 10 sec. then goes off. the red lite is flashing normally. is there a fuse, or relay for this, and where is it. nothing in the owners manual lists one..dealer is about 100 miles round trip, and i can't see going there for a .15ct fuse. any help is appreciated. edit..have no codes.

after 170k on it, it could be just some carbon build up. even running top notch gas you never know what the last owner ran. IMO- i would run 1/3 can of seafoam thu the intake..(follow directions) and the rest put in fuel tank, and see if that helps. cheep @ about $8 at most parts stores.. good luck

Rear Differential Question
desrtrat replied to fire0662000's topic in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech
are you sure the whining is coming from the rear? 03-04 AWD are known for having bad front carrier bearing issues. mine sounded like i had a bad rear pinion bearing, with 190 mi. on it. turned out to be the front carrier's that were bad. good luck -
what muffler(s) are you running now?
-
I've used Seafoam for years with good results. both in the fuel tank, and intake.
