Your relay for the AC should be located under the hood.

check all of the fuses and u have 3 compartments 1 is under dash 2 is on side of dash and 3 is under hood

this depends on the ambiant air temperature outside, but in general with the A/C on max the low pressure side should be around 25 to 35 psi and the high side can range from about 200 to 325 psi every vehicle is different but that will give you an idea

What engine 5.7?

start in the middle and work your way out ,do three passes ,first one with speed key then ratchet then with a nice shiney snap on knuckle bar .making sure the bolt holes are cleaned out with no oil or water in them

There are to many things to look for that cause the symptoms you described. Best thing to do is get it scanned for a DTC code, that's why your check engine light is on. Auto Zone scan's for free and most auto shop's now scan for around $10.00 to $15.00 since almost every shop has a scanner and want the business.
The scan is going to give you a miss fire code with other codes to why such as to the left or right side banks running lean or both running lean and may be a transmission code to why it shifted hard.
Good luck and keep me posted, as long as there is a engine management problem the transmission may not shift in to it's 4th gear and OD may not activate so take care not to burn out the transmission.

I believe there is a self tensioner on your vehicle, you shouldn't need to check that as far as I know.

Normally there is a diagram on the inside of the hood of the truck or on the engine that shows the way the belt goes on. First you need to find the adjustment wheel that tightens the belt...it serves no other purpose, just to tighten the belt. Once you find that, loosen it up enough to get the old one off if it's not off already. Other than that I would suggest getting a book from your local library for your car (Chilton) and look at the order it goes into place.

About 2.5 qts remove fill plug in cover or plug may be located on pinion housing. Fill until fluid starts to run back out.

On 5.7L engines, install the bolts and torque in sequence as follows:

1. Step 1: 71 inch lbs. (8 Nm).
2. Step 2: 106 inch lbs. (12 Nm).
3. Step 3: 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).

Michael, Per your description, it sounds like the deck lid button on your remote may be stuck. Remove the cover and reassemble, make sure the button is free to move in and out.
Let me know.

It is a slip fitting that is split in 2 . once you fit it behind the adapter, you need to pull it under the adapter. It should pop off. it is a special tool.

maybe its time to replace your fuel injectors or fuel filter ?

Take a long nose pliers they have to come off, are you pulling it from the plug itself? did the vehicle stand for a long time if so spray Q20 or something to loose the corrosion

Thank you
