    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) '98 12v fuel filter question....

    Fuel Filter Question... Yeah, I have been searching forums for a while and seeing some photos would be good. My truck has been off the road since last January when my lines gelled (I am assuming) when we had a sudden cold snap down to around 0* for a few days and I got caught without...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Idle Adjustment Issues

    Sorry for making this rather redundant post, but as you read it I hope you'll understand. I am trying to perform my idle adjustment on my 97 2500 4x4. I don't have a factory manual so I have read tons of posts and tried using the instructions on...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tires and wheels, That is the question?

    Tires and Wheels Dave, I put the Interco TRXUS tires (285's) on 16x8 American Racing AR767's in black. The nice thing is these tires are 10 ply, when most other MT tires are 8 ply. This inceases the load rating. These are really good mud terrain tires that are good in the wet, and...

    Borgeson shaft/ DT trackbar

    Mike/Dane, Thanks for the responses. I ordered the Borgeson today. should arrive Monday. I will wait for warmer weather to get the DT, as it's about 20 degrees right now. BTW: How rough is the DT install job? I am mechanically inclined, but dont have major facilities to work out...

    Borgeson shaft/ DT trackbar

    Ok, I finally have to start addressing the lousy steering on my 97. First piece will be the steering shaft, as it's the easiest to do, and I have seen nothing but good results posted about it. My question: Borgeson is charging $255. 00 for it. Does anyone know if another vendor has it...

    Headlamp bulbs

    All I can say is: "Don't bother with the lights from JCW. " I purchased a set of the high wattage (100/80) all-weather (yellow beam) lights 2 years ago. When they got here. . Surprise!... . they were Sylvanias. Oo. They lasted until 2 months ago, despite some rather rough off-roading. So...

    Tire performance question

    Alright, I am about to finally replace the skinny, wimpy little 245's with some real tires. Since I will be shelling out hard earned dough, I don't want to make a mistake. Size will be 285-75R16 My current replacement candidates are: 1. Super Swamper TRXUS 2. MAXXIS Buckshot...

    Big Mistake !

    <b>They are asking $35,270. 00 w/ $1500. 00 rebate. That's a lot of cash to spend. </b> That doesn't seem that bad to me! I stopped by a local DC lot last week. They had an '02 leftover... 4x4, SLT Laramie w/tow pkg, and AT. The price was <b>$38,995</b> !!! :--) Sometimes I really...

    Who has the best deal on e-brakes?

    Sly, That doesn't sound too bad. How loud is it when idling? The other reason I was considering keeping the cat was just due to legality. But i guess getting the test pipe and just swapping back and forth for inspections would work okay. Thanks again! :)

    Who has the best deal on e-brakes?

    Sly, I am considering a 4" exhaust from turbo to tail. But I do not want to lose the cat. Also, I don't want to be totally obnoxious with the noise levels (although I have heard you can hear the turbo spin down when straight-piped :)) Just want a deeper, more pwerful sound. (yeah...

    Who has the best deal on e-brakes?

    Thanks again guys! I am kinda bummed that it won't be loud like the big guys :(, but some is better than none! I like the dual setting idea Sly. From I have learned reading the posts here, that sounds like a really good way to save the TC's life for a little while longer. Next up on...

    Who has the best deal on e-brakes?

    Sly, 95% of the time I drive around town and unloaded. I was considering the brake because I end up replacing service brakes twice a year. But, the main reason why I was thinking of one is: I want that awesome, loud sound when getting of the juice, just like the sound the big rigs...

    Who has the best deal on e-brakes?

    SlyBones, you wrote: "... For the manual transmission the mid range retarding power should be best, as a few pointed out. If you follows Bill K's advice and keep your RPM's up for the health of your automatic transmission, then the PacBrake is probably a better choice. As it has the better...

    Normal Oil Pressure?

    Oil Pressure SNOKING; xbubblehead: at 800 rpms it is right around 40. I am running 15-40w Rotella T, and a Puralator filter, which is the direct stock replacement item. The filter I replaced was a fleetguard. Do either of you know where the idle speed adjustment is? I really need to...

    Normal Oil Pressure?

    Okay, i changed the oil and filter about 300 miles ago. The pressure looked good at about 40 when idling, and it rises slightly when on the throttle. Now, it sits right around the bottom of the normal range, as indicated on the factory gage when idling, but does rise over the 40 mark when...
