Hey all. I found this place by accident. Looks cool.
Anyway, I had a couple of questions and wanted to get some suggestions on some things. My truck has 152K+ miles on it and I've not broken down on the side of the road in the entire time I've owned it. But, I would like to keep it on the road for a couple more years just because it's my first vehicle and I plan to drive it til it dies. :) I was wondering what sort of stuff should I replace to help extend its life some?
Recently, my parking brake light comes on and stay one for a while and then goes off, but will intermittently come on for short periods of time. Any ideas what that means? Also, my temperature gauge will show the engine starting to overheat, but goes right back to normal and remains there for the duration of my trip (longest being 2 hours). I've had the engine rebuilt in 2001, so I'm wondering what might be causing that. The truck idles a little rough, but nothing else apparent is going on. My radiator is full, no white smoke or anything.
Lastly, I want to put some of those accessories on my truck (roll bar, brushguard, grille guard, lights, etc) and was wondering if there is a good company that has that sort of thing at decent prices. With getting repairs done, won't have a huge amount to apply to accessories, but definitely want to get some.
Thanks.
