Sub Zero Issues & Questions
32 Below this morning and I let the truck warm up for about 10 minutes after being plugged in all night. First of all it seemed like 4WD was not working, even thought the WD light was on the dash. Could not get any traction in the snow. Speedo said 40 and I was not going that fast.... After a few miles it seemed to want to kick in. Traction control was kicking in (second time it happened tis week in subzero temps) .Then all of a sudden I get a reduced braking warning light. I have never heard of this before. brakes felt fine. Got to work, shut it off and restarted and the brake light went off.
Anyone have any issues like this?
Ordered it new. I like the truck but I don't love it like I thought I would.

Sorry Dustin, but I have no clue what an EB is. And I usually give it some cheddar often but the shift points in the transmission hit VERY hard and I am afraid that I am going to do some damage. Dumb it down for me....lol

Have your tuner soften the shift firmness up a touch. It should be firm but not stupid firm. That's hard on uhoints, mounts, dog in the back...everything. if you can't hold it on the floor and let it shift from 40-90mph without loosing a filling from your mouth, something IS WRONG.
EB is the Exhaust Brake. It's on the center stack to the upper left obove the screen it's a botton with a no-farting symbol. Turn it on every time except rain ice or snow.
