    Need to replace my steering box.

    I'd consider adding an inline filter to the low pressure line on the power steering pump. This would be the time to add a cooler too if you need it.

    Replacement Stock 2wd Front Coil Springs

    Ok, gotcha. I'm worried that I won't even notice a difference and it will have been a waste of money. Anyone replace their stock springs with new stock height springs? Ride improvement?

    Replacement Stock 2wd Front Coil Springs

    Hey. Did some searching for stock replacement coils, but didn't find much. I just got new control arms with ball joints and bushings along with tie rod ends and pitman/idler arms because there was a bunch of play after 220k hard miles. I'm wondering if its necessary to replace my front coils...

    front axle keeps pulling out of diff

    Anyone else seen this? The guy wants me to help him work on it and I'd like to have more of an idea of what it could be before I start. I swear I saw someone post about this before, but can't find the post.

    front axle keeps pulling out of diff

    Ok. I Was Thinking The Drop Would Do It To. Sounds Like It Must Be The C-clip Then? I've Never Heard Of A Worn Clip Doing That. The Part Number If The Cv Shaft MatcheS The Truck. I Haven't Messed With Ifs For So Long I'm At A Loss.

    It Keeps Popping That C Clip Almost Like The Cv Is To SHort.Does That Lift Require A Spacer Where The CV Meets The Axle Flange?

    Lots of throttle + sand = glowing manifolds!!!

    I definitely steer clear of the water. I figure I don't need to add insult to injury as far as thrashing my truck more than I already do!

    Lots of throttle + sand = glowing manifolds!!!

    I was out in the dunes last night with my 2wd 98 all aired down. I managed to get wedged in this precarious spot that was in a deep ravine between two dunes and a fence. After a lot of rev limiter and a handful of attempts I finally prevailed. I popped the hood to find two glowing red hot...

    New engine not satisfying.

    Yep, timing and O2 sensor are the obvious places to start.

    Front End Remodeling

    I would be cautious of those cheapie valences on ebay. I bought one for my 98 and really wish I hadn't. About 2/3 of the mounting holes were so far off that you couldn't even open up the holes to make them match. The stock one took quite a bit of abuse before it finally cracked on me. Within...

    Tailgate Trim Removal?

    Its just attached with adhesive tape like the side molding. As a side note, Mythbusters did an episode on whether or not you get better gas mileage with your tailgate down. As it turns out, you without a doubt get better gas mileage with the tailgate up. They do studies and explanations on...

    I believe the charcoal is supposed to absorb the gasoline fumes from the gas tank vent so they don't pollute the environment...

    6 Lug to 8 lug

    Unless you're talking about a LD c2500. Either way, its reasonably obvious from the pic in his sig what we're dealing with...

    Engine "lugging" at 11- 1400 rpm in overdrive at 50 mph. never used to.

    You mileage shouldn't suffer in drive at those speeds. The increased RPM will require less throttle. That sounds like everything is working fine to me. The torque converter locks up at 45, so it makes sense that if you're staying right on the bottom limit as far as speed, OD and lockup go...
