I had a Westac transmission gauge like you have on my 99. It started to act up a couple of years after I installed it. If I remember right it would show false readings (swing too high) but then the next time I started the truck it would read normal and then swing wild again. It turned out to...

Jim, I just spoke to Lee at Tire Sentry and he said they can accomodate your situation with 6 tires on your truck and 8 tires on your trailer. He said he would be happy to talk with you about it. His phone number is 818-889-1716. Their web address is tiresentry.com. I have had my system for 6...

Jim, Are you saying the lift pump took out your injector pump in your original problem? I thought the 04 system was supposed to prevent lift pump failure from taking out the injector pump in the 04's and would not allow the truck to start or possibly not enable it to run?

Thanks guys for all of the conversion on this topic. I do feel that most of the TDR members are good honest people that will go out of their way to help others. That is , of course, what I was trying to do when I posted the Prime Loc at no charge. I just hated to throw it away if someone wanted...

Hi guys, I have to get this off my mind. This has been bothering me for almost a year now. I love this TDR site and I am sure that almost all of us are true to our word but--- Last year I traded in my 99 QC on a 2004. While going through my take off items from the 99 I came across a Prime Loc...

Thanks guys, problem solved. I can't believe how I can spend 2 hours doing a 5 minute job. I tried a 5/8 bolt with2 nuts jammed on it but could not break it loose. The torque spec is only 22 lbs but it was really tight. Finally went to town and bought a 17mm allen/socket and thanks "InThinAir"...

OK my ignorance is showing here. I decided to check the transmission oil on my 6 speed and found that I have no tool to remove the oil level plug. Can anyone tell me what size and what the name is of the tool that is required to remove this plug so I can buy one?

Don't know about the trim itself but you can remove the whole center piece that the trim is mounted to and I suspect the trim can then be removed from the back, unless it is held on with 2 sided tape. The center piece is held on with spring clips and one screw. The spring clips are located...

I have been towing travel trailers for 40 years. Have always used an Eaz Lift and my first rig was a car with the Eaz Lift. Never had any trouble until I bought my 4WD Ram 2500 and started towing heavy trailers. My current trailer is 30 feet with a slide and weighs about 8400 lbs loaded. Despite...

Mike I don't know about campers but I have a Nash 30 foot travel trailer. Nash and Arctic Fox are made by the same company. Arctic Fox is actually a step up in quality from the Nash. I have been through the factory which is about 2 hours drive from where I live and the construction is excellent...

Thanks for the feedback especially the chart with the info about Prime Loc. Wasn't too worried about the Prime Loc before but looks like I need to remove it.

Saturday I installed my fuel gauge at 65K and, you guessed it, the lift pump showed 5 lbs at idle on the V44 side. At 60mph the reading was 0-1 with a negative going up hills. The truck showed no other symptoms. Moved the sender to the lp side side and the readings were 8 lbs at idle and 5-6 lbs...
