Hye, One of my front springs was broken so after some readings, I installed Skyjacker D25 front springs. The new springs are a lot taller than the 24 years old ones... my truck is now taller on the front than on the rear, and I have a heavy front bumper. Could my rear leaf springs be tired ...

My truck (97 12v...) has developped an engine oil leak while running and it seems to be worst since a month. At that time, with the weather, it's difficult for me to wash the engine and see where it comes from. There is oil all over the pan, the cross member and front diff. I could see a ''drop...

Hello, I have a problem with my seat belt buzzer in the junction box (driver side dash). I have to pull hard on the belt to stop it making that horrible noise and the seat belt red light stays on in the lower right dash. When I checked it, I noticed a round relay just above the black buzzer in...

Hello, My truck is not cranking for some days. Since I'm working only minutes from home now, I was suspected my batteries were weak but with the boost pack nothing happened. I had to tow the truck home and performed some tests : - batteries fully charged : nothing - since my starter was...

Since a few days, my truck is doing a roaring sound (power steering pump?) at idle when I first start it in the (very cold) morning. The brakes and the power steering were acting erratically at idle, but seemed to be fine when driving. Last evening after work, I had no brake assist and no power...

Time to cure my alternator problems... Will a 1999 alternator fit on my 97 pickup, bolt on ? I think they are rated 136 Amps and my old one is 120... I did searches and if I've found lots of threads about alternators, nothing about the compatibilty. It seems that there are few other upgrades but...

I have just put new tires and don't want to ruin them, so I decided to have a look at the camber because I can notice that it's very negative and my old tires are worn in the inside. I've marked the position of the camber bushings before removal but I think they were not orientated correctly...

I've finished my bed weeks ago and drove only about one thousand miles since but I can't decide what would be the better way to fasten it on the frame. I've re-used the same locations than the OEM bed (but with 4 bolts and nuts in front and rear), and that's making them solid. I've read several...

I'm at changing my rear brakes shoes, drums and hardware. All the pins, springs and levers was so rusted that when I finally achieved to take the drums off, all the hardware fell off... I find the service manual poor in pictures and diagrams for our brakes. I think I've figured out where all the...

Since I'm a little fed up with throwing parts in my truck since the summer, I would like to have opinions about the rear pinion yoke. I'm changing the seal and it seems that the old seal has grooved the yoke. I've cleaned it and sanded it with #100 and #400 sand paper but I can clearly see the...

Hello, I think I've red all the topics about brakes issues on the second gen... If not I've tried....before posting. Perhaps toomuch information !:rolleyes: Four weeks ago I had to replace the brake line that goes to the rear brakes, it was very rusted and was leaking. I decided to go with the...

Hi, When I start the truck in the morning and drive it, the 3 or 4 first times I push the pedal are violent, the wheels seem to lock easily, like if I would have old air brakes, but after that, the pedal is quite spongy and the brakes are not very strong. Front calipers and pads have...

Hello, I've got a #6 fuel plate in hand and plan to install it this week end. Can I run it with the stock wastegate sensor (elbow on the turbo) ? Or do you think it's a MUST to change the fitting for any reason ? An other question : My wastegate signal is picked up on the front of the...

Hello, Yesterday, when I started the truck, the tachometer, the speedometer, and the wait to start light didn’t work. After a few miles, I decided to cancel my trip and go back home... I’ve found several posts on the subject and tried to check the engine speed sensor over the crank. I...

It's me again, I put a lot of time on the truck this days, time I should spend working... and things are going worse... I installed the Rock solid bushing today, with the column on the truck. Not much room there... I have problems with the retainer, that I don't have:o but I have already...

Hello, Yesterday, on the road, my front left wheel hurt 2 or three small bumps, I was about at 50/55 mph. My front axle start to bounce and it wouldn't stop until I put the brake on. It was a very big and constant bounce, like an earthquake in the cab, I had one of my daughter in the truck...

Hello, Do you have a schematic of the fuel filter assembly, to be sure where are going all the seals and o-rings ? When I tooke mine apart, I saw just one o-ring... :eek:

Hello, I've been reading the forum for a couple of months but not posted yet... I have a few questions... I start with a TST kit (#8 ?) for my truck. It seems to be a good product, but do you think it is safe to put this in my truck with 180000 miles on it ? Will my transmission be...
