It was low transmission fluid for me. As JustCody was saying, the inertia builds pressure in the drivetrain so you need high pressure to downshift but if fluid is low you will have low pressure.

I've heard that it takes about 12 seconds for your oil pump to fully lubricate your engine... so I'd think there isn't much benefit to let it run much longer than that.

My truck does it too. I have heard it is something to do with the way they designed the intake manifold.

I wait maybe 15-30 seconds. Once the RPM drop and the rad fan disengages I put it in drive. If it is really cold like -20°C I will let it idle for a minute or two while I clean the truck off. Any longer than that and you're just wasting gas.

I had the same problem. Started getting the same code at 155K miles. I got my frame replaced and my exhaust was so rotted out so they put new system on for me (everything except manifold) and that problem went away. They did not give new sensors tho. So your cat is probably beginning to get...

Yes you would want to check it when it is running, but I think it's the sensor or wiring. P0031 is the code you should to be paying attention to. I don't think a new MAF sensor was required. P0100 & P3100; I'm guessing are just secondary faults caused by the bad sensor or harness. What...

Hmmm well the fact that you didn't have the issue until you removed the exhaust, and O2 sensor would lead me to believe that it has something to do with the O2 sensor. Is it possible a wire got damaged during the removal/install? Did you try removing the battery to 'reset' the ECU? If you have...

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I recently got my frame replaced, and while they did that I had them put on new exhaust. Truck seems to be running great, but my mileage went down 10%. I used to get 550km before the refill light came on now the light comes on at 490km. It's not a huge...

Is it harder to start when hot? Could be compression. Is your air filter dirty? How about your fuel filter? I've heard these trucks are notorious for the fuel filter degrading and then clogging the system. Lets hope its not that.

Well I read a few articles and here are a few possibilities. - Battery in your key fob (unlikely since unlock works, but it's an easy issue to rule out) - Make sure all the doors are closed completely, even your hood. - Bad actuator relay. My guess is the door lock relay has burnt out. From...

Does it beep or do the lights flash as if it were locked?

Hey guys, I need to replace the upper door hinge on my driver side door as it has cracked and now the top half of my door doesn't close completely which resulted in a very annoying air leak. Does anyone know if I can do this without removing the front fender? Will

Could it be the LSD?

Is it possible your drive shaft is not balanced, hence destroying the carrier bearing?
