    1997 350/5 speed clutch line problems.

    Damn that's a good idea. Ill try that first. I was going to pull the master out with the line and re bench bleed. I'm reading that there could be some air trapped in the master. I also saw a video of guys squishing the slave in and out to bleed Air all the way up to the master. we did not do...

    1997 350/5 speed clutch line problems.

    Its my first experience with them and I gotta say I hate the design. The floating fittings just don't make sense to me. I know they work but damn. The fitting under the master will swivel, the fitting going into the slave wiggles and spins and I'm told its supposed to be that way and that the...

    1997 350/5 speed clutch line problems.

    Possibly. I got it off of Amazon. Its also a Dorman. I'd bet I can just tell them its not working and they'll send me another one. My wife is pretty good at that with Amazon. Thanks

    1997 350/5 speed clutch line problems.

    So I replaced the master cylinder with oe replacement. Replaced the slave/throw out with Dorman replacement. All new. I did not change the line between the two. After the master and slave I got ok pedal but not awesome. Had a couple inches of sponge before it firmed up. I don't know how many...

    Clutch switch wiring.

    Hey guys. One of the wires going into the clutch switch broke right at the plug. I'm trying to figure out how to get the blade out to fix it. And if I can't how can I bypass it? There four wires coming in. 97 3500 350. Thanks guys

    4-6 drop with fats and skinnys

    Just my opinion but I think that's gonna look a little goofy for the street. Sounds like your going for a drag race look. It's going to be hard to find 15x4 that's street legal. However look at weld wheels. They have some pretty cool 4 inch wheels but the bs is pretty well centered. They will be...

    97 3500\350 5 speed is a dog.

    Thanks for all replies guys. It has just over stock size tires. Not sure exact size but not too big on stock wheels. I use second to take off in town most of the time because first is pretty short. It's good once I get up to 70mph but down here getting out on hwy 285 can be pretty scary. You...

    97 3500\350 5 speed is a dog.

    Hey guys. I just started running this truck as my welding rig. It's a single cab but it's heavy. Full skirted welding bed sa-200 welding machine and tools. So probably in the range of 4000 lbs loaded on it. Id like to get some more power without going over board. I know motors and what could be...

    Hey guys I'm Dustin. I've been a member for a while but never posted. I'm a pipeline rig welder. I just picked up a 97 one ton drw. It's a 2 wd 350\5 speed. I'm thinking of going straight axle on it. I've seen the kits for a leaf spring front end. So what axle should I look for, and can I put a...
