The side moulding on the bed (behind rear tire) came off. What glue would be best to use to put it back on? Thanks, Tom/Idaho

I had the alternator rebuilt a couple weeks ago, so one would 'assume' it was good. I will pull the alternator fuse today and see if there is a drain. When I did the test yesterday the drain went from -03. 3 to -06. 0 in the short time it took to pull the fuses. Why would it do that? Or, do I...

Up date on batteries ---hope I do this right---New fuse makes the meter work... Batteries have been unhooked for a week. Use a 50 amp load tester. passenger battery: 12. 51v before test. 11. 66v during load test. 12. 25v after test. Drivers battery: 12. 53v before test. 11. 67v during...

Posted month ago about battery problem. Two Napa Legend #7527 batteries. Month old. Truck sits 7-10 days and batteries are stone dead. Advised possible cause could be diodes in alternator, as I could not find any draw on batteries. Had alternator re-built, new rectifier & diodes. Still have...

Fest3er: I took the alternator to the repair doctor and he confirmed it had a bad diode. It is now fixed, tested and back on my truck. Thank you and thanks to all who responded. Tom/Idaho

1995 4x4 106,000 miles 5spd Replaced both batteries about one month ago. After truck sits for about ten to fourteen days both batteries are stone dead. Did not have this problem with old batteries. Charged both and both load tested okay. Alternator appears to be charging okay. Cannot see a...

Thank you for your responses. I have replaced several of the moving parts with Lukes Links, including both ends of the track bar. I agree that steering wander would come from moving parts rather than rotating parts, but while having someone turn the steering wheel I can not find any play in the...

My 1995 came with LT245/75R16-E. I replaced them with LT285/75R16 and now the steering wanders and seems to follow every snake path on the road. Same company I bought them from confirmed the allignment was right on and nothing was worn or loose. Front end guy then said the wander could be caused...

1995 4x4 5 speed 100,762 miles 241 transfer case I needed to replace the clutch, drained the oil from transmission and when removing the transfer case which included the center section that the transfer case mechanism bolts to and hooks to the back of the transmission I struck oil, about 1...

It's about the operation of the brakes. I have about worn out the pages of my service manual and used up all of the suggestions posted here. I am not asking for suggestions, I would just like to compare mine with yours. I drive it very little (95,000 miles since Aug 95) so perhaps I'm being...

I am having an aurgument with a repair guy that has been in the business for about 35 years. I would like to compare my 95 5sp 4 x 4 with another one. If you have a vehicle like mine would you please email me at: TLCVAC@SAFELINK. NET Thanks, Tom/Idaho

Joe, I bench bled the master cylinder as per the service manual and from numerous suggestions on this forum and then the RWAL valve per the service manual and then the wheel cylinders. It just feels like you are pushing down on the pedal and brake fluid is bypassing something. Like the brake...

Thanks to all who replied. As I feared and others had said, the new booster didn't help. I jacked up the front and the wheel bearings are tight. I am to the point that I hoped they were bad. I went thru the whole check list in my service manual again. Vacuum pump holds 20 at idle and goes up...

Truck is 1995, 5spd with about 95,000 miles I am going to replace the brake booster (last hope). After new master cylinder and RWAL valve; front pads and rear shoes. Booster check valve checks out okay. Local ******* (dealer) says brake booster is not available for 95 but if it was we want...

I have a service manual that shows a diagnosis chart for the cruise control on my 95. A friend has a 98 that has a cruise control problem. My manual says to check the fuse which is # 10 in the fuse block. On his 98 #10 is for a flasher. Can someone advise where the fuse for the cruise control is...
