Without a vacuum on the regulator, I don't think it'll do too much harm (especially if you don't intend on driving it that way for very long). I've read recently that your idle speed will increase to roughly 900 RPM (from the typical 600-ish), but I haven't seen anyone report any other bad side...

I've had this problem since I bought my truck a couple years ago at about 183,000 miles. Now it has over 208,000 miles. I also have rear air suspension. I usually get this bump/clunk in the mornings, especially when it's cold outside, as the airbags inflate to raise the truck. Sometimes, the...

Well - I guess I could check it that way, too... :cool:

This is excellent information. I think my lower coil went out late last winter, and I've been thinking about replacing it since. However, before I do that, I'd like to confirm that the coil is indeed bad. I'm thinking about taking a meter and doing a resistance check on the coil. Does anyone...

Well, I guess that answers my question. The days of simple electrical systems in cars are pretty much gone, I guess. It's interesting you say that. This is part of my bookshelf, showing some goodies I've collected over the years: And yes, I've read all of them, cover to cover (many of them...

Thanks, Mooseman! These are much appreciated. I was able to download the 2002-2005 manual zip file recently with no problems. And yes, I was using IE. :redface: My truck is a 2003, but most of the content in that zip file is for other model years. However, I think these are close enough for my...

Wow, Roadie! Thanks for the link! I've just spent an hour digging through the OS looking at that and several other threads that talked about that relay and the rear fog lamp. All good info. Wish I had searched more thoroughly earlier. I'm a bit embarassed, actually. The reason I have such a low...

I appreciate the quick responses! I thought it would be something like that, but I wanted to be sure. I guess rear fog lamps in an area like the UK would be a good idea. I'll search again to find those threads you guys are talking about. Thanks again!

I was poking around yesterday to get more familiar with my truck's electrical system, and found what I thought might be a missing relay. Before I continue, I must say that I don't know of any electrical malfunctions at this point. Everything seems to be working correctly, including my fog...
