I got some problems that need someone elses help.
Thank you for reading.
This one I hope doesn't wind up being a long one but if it turns out to be one.. I am sorry. Thank you for all of your help/advice/tips/ideas Everything
I just got my truck on the road Monday and I have had a couple problems.
She doesn't want to run until she is warmer, Got the digital gauge cluster. when it hits 1 bar on the temp gauge she will stay running and run beautifully. Got a code for coolant temp sensor but not sure if its the culprit. also map sensor.
Next is, My front end feels stiff. I feel every bump and when I hit a bump I get wander. I think the guy I got it from cranked the keys way to much.. could that make it stiff? ride rough, When I put the plow on it, it rides better. shockingly.
I blew out my rear driveshaft today, It didn't want to be friends with ms. axle anymore, it hit the ground then floor pan and them I just coasted to a stop, Well, there is a bunch of u-joints to choose from. Half c-clips, complete snap rings, screw in, pressed in.. I don't know what I need.
The u-joint cap that's in it doesn't have a snap ring/clip in it so I think its factory.. also noticed when underneath it that the front u-joint at the transfer case is shot to.. Need it up on the road asap. Do not know what I will need as well.
Squeaking back window. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Quality suspension parts? Moog? AC Delco? I have been on rock auto looking at parts and want to re-do the front end when summer gets here...
I already got pages upon pages of things but want to know if moog is good or is Ac Delco good?
Thanks.
Thank you for reading. I know this is more than one problem and I am not sure if I even posted it in the right place but i hope I did and I hope I can get some help/advice.

Well it had two codes, Haynes manual - Code 15 (Coolant temperature sensor/Low Temp) & Code 33 (Map Sensor).
I am taking the plow off my truck, I would turn the bolts, Counter clockwise?
Thanks for the input on Moog & ACDelco, are the grease-able parts better?
U-Joints, Any ideas on witch ones to get? rear? front? sense the rear blew out and I found a bad front one I want to get them all done but RockAuto/Autozone are not any help.
Thank you (Newguy) for the help.

Moog u joints also. Get everything grease-able and grease twice a year. Yes counter clock wise, equal amount each side. If you dont have any type of lift on it your front cv axles should be basically parallel with the ground
#5
(Newguy) What kinda of joints? I see some with the half clip & some with a completely closed clip, something about pressed in and something about screwed in.. will any work? can I go down and buy 4 identical u-joints and put them in? they are original. or atleast I think they are. I didn't see any clips. But the head/seal the connects to the differential is gone & the other side under the strap is still there.

newguy, I cant figure out how to word it.
When I look at AutoZone-RockAuto, they snow a bunch of different types of u-joints. I know how to replace it. been on youtube. Its the replacement that is the issue.
I don't know what to get? will any u-joint work? I see these under parts for my truck.

RockAuto Parts Catalog go to the ac delco 3rd one down I think, click on info , look for the number of the ones you need then go back and match it up. Should be the right ones

Thanks again Teacher.
