- Super Select 4WD Vacuum or Solenoid FaultModerate
Vacuum leaks, tired solenoids or seized actuators can stop the four-wheel-drive system engaging or disengaging properly, often with a flashing dash light.
- 3.2 DI-D Injector and Fuel-System TroubleModerate
Higher-mileage 3.2 diesels can develop injector-related rough running, smoky starts and difficult starting, especially if rust or contamination has reached the fuel system.
