    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Lost 5th NV4500

    I have a 98 2500, 4x4, TST #11, GSK, 13" South Bend Clutch and I lost 5th gear this morning driving on a flat section of highway, not towing, doing about 70mph. No bang, pop, skip or anything. I'm assuming it's the nut backing off on the main shaft. I'd really appreciate some insite here. Can I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Upper and Lower control Arms

    Does anyone have a source for replacing the upper and lower control arms on the front suspension? Its a 1998 12v stock lift. I'd like to replace with plain steel and urethane bushings. Nothing fancy just a suitable stock replacement. Thanks David

I look at the oil pressure and it's either bottoming out or close to it. This only happens when when the engines been loaded for awhile and...

    Infinity Speaker Amp Options

    I thought that the stock "head unit" isn't designed to power the front speakers hence the seperate amps. I guess I don't really understand this system.

    Infinity Speaker Amp Options

    It seems as though the amp on the right door speaker went bad and now the door and pillar speaker don't work. A tech at a local dealership said this was sort of common. Are there any options for these amps on the speakers? Dealer wants $132 for speaker assembly, amp not available seperately...

    My criteria was also pretty narrow. 12 valve, quad cab, short bed, 4x4, 5 speed. As I found this was only available from 98 to 98. 5, not much of a window. I found mine in mid Kentucky, drove down from central NY friday nite and swapped my 2000 Nissan mini van Saturday morn, drove back north...

    Front Bumper

    I've been looking at the Denver Off Road aluminum bumper. After a half dozen unanswered e-mails and a recorded message that the phone is no longer in service I'm wonder if that front bumper is still available. Does anyone have suggestions? I happen to work in a manufacturing facility where I...

    stock plate adjust vs. tst plate

    Guages are in and seem to be operating normally. The EGT sensor is in the cast elbow attached to turbo outlet. I've been told to add 300* due to location, sound right?

    stock plate adjust vs. tst plate

    In reading the recent posts, there are some of you getting very good results from moving the stock plate all the way foward. In fact, more additional ponies than changing to the #11 TST plate. Other than the obvious $300 tag on the TST plate, what are pros and cons of just moving stock plate...
