    Pulsation that won't go away... please help

    Guys, I've had a pulsation in my truck anytime I put the brakes on which I thought for sure was from my brakes. I was convinced it was my rear brakes since you could see the bed shake when the brakes were applied. I had a mechanic friend of mine replace the rear drums and shoes for me since...

    Is my transmission toast?

    I posted this on another forum but didn't get a lot of responses... I had a nasty transmission leak for a while that would leak out of the inspection cover of the trans. After talking it over with multiple mechanics we came to the conclusion that it was a front pump seal that was causing the...

    I've had a mysterious transmission leak for awhile now that seems to have gotten progressively worse to the point where I can't drive the truck anymore without dumping fluid in her first. The leak is dripping onto the y pipe and then onto the ground. The thing that has me puzzled is that it...

    WTB: Fuel lines from throttle body to firewall

    Like the title says I'm in need of the fuel lines that connect at the throttle body and run down the firewall to the transmission area. These are hard metal lines and have to be from a TBI truck. I don't think it matters if it's a 4.3 5.0 or 5.7. I'd just run to the junkyard and grab a set...

    Why is my belt routed like this?

    This is how the belt is routed on my 1991. It looks like the previous owner routed it like the truck didn't have A/C but i'm not quite sure if maybe they bought the wrong belt and said "F it" or if the had an ulterior motive. If you look closely you'll see it isn't even touching the pulley...
