    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.

    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 friend has a 1998 and the cruise control quit working. In Issue 54 Joe G. said to check the vacuum lines below the driver's side battery. We did and found nothing wrong.

    Archived 2003 cranks but won't start

    My son is stuck in a small mountain town about 70 miles North of Boise, Idaho. The truck drove up there just fine. Tried to start it today and it cranks just fine, but will not fire.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel pressure question (again)

    Joe G. read your interesting write up you mentioned in my earlier post. I removed the lift pump and primer and hooked it up to air like you said. When I hold the piston against the spring and put it in water I get a small amout of bubbles out the weep hole. Do I need to somehow force the piston...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) several questions

    1995 5 spd. Read some interesting stuff in the archives. I was informed that if one puts larger tires ( from 245 to 285) I could take the truck to the dealer and they would recalibrate the speedo. I went there today and was told that the truck is to old and they couldn't do it. Said I would have...

    1995 3/4 ton Dana 80 4x4. Service manual says to pack rear wheel bearings prior to re-installing. If the bearings are lubricated by the oil in the rear end, why do you need to pack the rear bearings with grease? Thanks, Tom/Idaho
