Have you tried turning the steering wheel left then right while you are trying with the key to get the trk. out of park I had an old truck that the steering wheel didn't lock, had to call the dealer when I got a new trk and that's what he said to do. It worked. If you call the service they might know what to do.

I have done this on some other vehicles with the same problem, and here are two idea's.
Remove the bolt from one of the motor mounts and jack the engine up...(one side, but keep an eye on things so you done tear hoses or wiring)
or...sneak in and unbolt the oil pump, and remove it with the pan.

If you can get me a picture, i can tell you what it is.....a 6 inch bolt, can be a lot of things, if you can take a photo of each side and email it to me at: [email protected]

It could be defective it just gets install make sure you have enough power steering fluid at the power steering pump, I have tow trucks with hydro boosters and they just get install and that's it. return it and get another one.Hope this was very helpful.

Replace the ac/heater control.

Actually you do not loosen the nut. You use an extended wrench to get ahold of the nut and then use that to move the whole tensioner. It is spring loaded and will move with a little force. make sure it is a tensioner and not an idler bearing.

if its a new body style (with the round front - i am assuming because it has a 5.3) then it takes 2.0lbs (.91kg). Make sure you check your fan clutch to see if it spins freely or has some drag to it. the fan clutches usually fail causing the compressors to come apart, the failed ones spin freely.

Look in your owners manual, maybe its written down or has the radio card with the security code in there. If the radio is original you can try and call the dealership and have your VIN number handy. If they say you need to bring it in you can try your repair shop, i've gotten the codes for several of my customers for free.

Most likely a fuel pump issue. It will cost about $700 to have it replaced. It could cost more if you want them to diagnose it to be sure. Be sure you just didnt run out of gas, A bad gauge does happen.

Hi; If this vehicle has electronic vacuum or pushbutton four wheel drive, the vacuum acuator switch is probably defective.

U will need to replace the fuel tank gauge sending unit

HI. its best to inspect the switch for faults but, im sure this is a charge issue. i recommend recharging the system asap. it is drying up.
