Trouble Spots

Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Automatic transmission: If the truck is driven on dry roads with the locking hubs (automatic or manual), the transfer-shift lever will get stuck severely damaging the transfer case mechanism. (1996-98)

Convertible top: The T-top mechanism jams or doesn't operate requiring replacement of the locking mechanism. (1996-98)

Vehicle noise: The front-wheel spindles can become noisy in cold weather necessitating replacement of the spindles. (1996-98)
