    The brake light (red) on my 06 intermittently comes on, on the dash. No rhyme or reason to it. It has brake fluid in it. No leaks on any corner. It will be off, then after driving it will come on. Stop, shut it off, come back out, it may come on, it may be off. I could start it this morning and it might be on. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    It's the low fluid level sensor for the master cylinder. I just replaced mine a month ago - it's a common 06 issue.

    Noticed you're selling your truck. For whatever reason, I'm not allowed to post on that thread. You say you have an extra set of OEM rims. Sadly, three out of four of mine have got curb rash, and warped (thanks to previous owners). Would you be interested in selling them, separately?
