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)
