Thanks. Anybody out there with 3.73 ever have an issue with starting on a hill w/1200# trailer? I am thinking this is the way I will go. I have found a shop that can do this work at a reasonable cost. Typo 12,000# trailer

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for all of the responses. I decided to go on a long 1000 mile trip to see if I still felt that the ratio is too high. After all of that driving over northern California, I had several occaisons that I would drive slower than 20 mph through mountains and had to...

Thank you for all of the replies. Second question is have any of you guys with 4.10 gears done any unloaded highway driving and still gotten above 20 mpg? I do tow but I also drive unloaded as well and would hate to give up the excellent mpg that I currently get.

Has anyone out there changed out the 3.42 gears yet? I tow around 12000lbs and sometimes find it a struggle to start off on a steep hill. Can the gears be changed? Does the truck need to be flashed or anything else? Do the 3.73 gears make a big enough difference? It tows fine once you get the...

just did the suncoast rewire. success

I am just starting to experience this in this 98 24v and would like to know what to check first. I have already checked the obvious, grounds, cables. Should I disassemble the alt. to check the brushes? This problem has gone from occasionally to just about all the time. Especially after it is...

My 98. 5 just started flickering the lights the other night. I removed the headlight switch and found the connector melted to the switch. What causes this? Is there a better fix? Does anybody know the part # of the pigtail in either standard or napa? This connector had been replaced before. Is...

I know that I should know this but I would like to know what coolant to use in my 1998. 5 24v. Can I purchase it from a parts store or do I have to get it from the dealer. Also what is the temp for the thermostat.

That is great information. I was worried to see sticker shock, but that is not too high. Is there a # I could call so that I could verify color? Thank You

My 1998. 5 Quad Cab has a headliner that is shot. It cannot re re-upholstered. I would like to know where I might be able to buy one of these. I saw that LMC truck has one but it says that it is only up to '98. I'm guessing that is a club cab. Does anybody know if it is the same? I know that...

My friend has a 1999 2500 4x4 with an NV4500 trans. He is replacing his clutch with a south bend and he asked me if he should do some kind of fix for the 5th gear nut problem. I have not owned an NV4500 for about five years so I am not sure what the best preventive fix is for this. Any thoughts?

I would like to remove my 47re auto and replace it with a manual trans. Which would be the best choice for this rig? I have no preference on 5 or 6 speed. Which will be the easiest to install?

thank you I will check it out
