One thought... I believe there is a grid heater bolt issue with that year of truck. Something like the bolt can work itself loose and cause a catastrophic failure of the engine. I think Banks has a solution for it, based on my memory. Have you looked into that?


-Thank you, I am aware of that and that was the first thing I checked on the vehicle when I got home. I do plan to go the Banks route on that. It’s expensive but looks like a nice, clean unit.

Yes, I’ve been through Bridgeport many times but always just passing through, don’t know much about the town or what’s there. It’s actually a “hub” of sorts for our travel if heading in that general direction because it’s where 2 major highways meet.

So unfortunately I don’t know anything about that dealer. I’ll have to (try to) keep them in mind since you’ve had good luck with them. It’s close enough to make a trip for a decent vehicle.
