Thanks for the replys guys... . Overall I'm just looking for some newer rims and wheels than the stock ones. (the chrome is starting to peel off the steel and I've got to get tires SOON). Any suggestions on something resonable yet sharp looking? Not looking to showboat too much, just wanna...
I've got a line on some stock 99-03aluminum ford wheels... . Just curious if they will work on my 97 2500 without messing with grinding the rear drums, or front joints... I know the bolt patterns are the same. Anyone have experience with these?
I'll try to post a pic..... the more research I do... it points to the shocks..... I've never done those on a truck..... are the tough to replace? What would be a recommendation for a decent shock... .
So I was checking out the tires on my 97 2500 this past weekend... I noticed a very strange uneaven wear on the front driver side tire. It has a very strange cupped/spotted wear on it. Wheel bearings feel tight, and so do ball joints. just curious if any others have experienced this... . for...

thanks for the info so far... I did also forget to mention, I removed the pre-heater... . so that eliminates the problems that are typically caused by the 1/2 elbow leaking and craked heater bowl... .
I'll re-check my hoses... . make sure they are all tight... I'll post an update.

Updates?
I'm currently having the same problem... I'm researching it now on this site, but if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I'm thinking that I need to check the solenoid. It seems as if it starts right up, then stalls out after 10 sec or...
its too hard to try and push the plunger in and use the bolts, most guys install studs, then you can put it on with lock nuts. Look up installing the lift pump on this forum, they will have the correct stud size, and you can install/remove much easier that way!
