Dear legends,
I am buying a coolant vacuum fill tool and would like to have recommendations on which one to buy considering our degas bottle has a weep hole near the neck of the reservoir. I am looking at Maddoxx, OEMTOOL, Airlift, and Snap-on. I prefer not having to modify the seal to prevent...
Thanks for your reply.
I have clocked about 1,250 miles during the 2 weeks. Lost about 1/32nd of tread depth. I am considering getting one new tire and put this plugged on for the spare.
Thanks for all the inputs guys 🙏
Question… so far I have done about 1,250 miles on these tires. I measured the tread depth with my manual gauge to be just above 12/32nd. Brand new tire, from the spec sheet, is 13/32nd. So the difference will be little less than 1/32nd (0.6mm) across the rear...
ISSUE SOLVED!!
It turns out to be a loose camber bolt in the right lower control arm bushing. I guess my previous alignment guy didn’t torque it properly.
Anyway thanks for all the inputs guys!

Updates:
- Raised the front end, roll the front wheels and found no noise or vibration from driveshafts. Tried to shake the wheels and all seems to be tight and solid
- Mock around with skid plates, grease the bolts and re-tighten them.
Now I still have the popping noise but ONLY when driving...
Yesterday morning, I took both skid plates out. Drive around for 30 minutes. Tested for the noise, no popping noise at all. Put the skid plates back on with grease on all the contact points. Went for errand for the day, no noise when backing up. Came back home after heavy rain, backing up into...
My issue is very similar to the poster of this thread below:

Some people mentioned IWE (Integrated Wheel Ends) System. Do our trucks have this? Never heard of it before.
I have been intermittently getting a single loud popping sound from under the truck in the front while slowly reversing (after 1-2 wheel revolutions). Can happen both in 2H or 4A. I can sometimes repeat it if I step hard on the brake while reversing.
Crawled underneath and found no loose bolt...
Thank you very much for the info!!! From what I gather, vacuum reading is a good indication of engine health. This RR is my first GTDI in a long time (came from diesel world). I will keep an eye on the perimeters you mentioned. Thanks again.
What are the normal vacuum reading at idle? Mine are as the following:
-Transmission in Drive 16 inHg (-7.8 psi)
-Transmission in N or P 18.5 inHg (-9 psi)
Engine fully warmed, AC on, at sea level.
Interested to see if you guys are getting similar idle vacuum reading.
Thanks in advance
I am at 76,000 miles living in the tropic and the fan noise had been as you described. No issue with the cooling system (fingers crossed ?). Coolant temps always been normal.
