    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) It feels like transmission, but is it the engine?

    I have a 98. 5 24v, manual trans, 4x4 basic stock truck and 109,000mi. I was towing my 5th wheel in 80 degree weather up a very long 6% grade. Three different times under extreme stress (3rd gear, 2600rpm) and pulling hard, I felt what seemed like a "slip" on oil or something. Hard to explain...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission very fast signal blinking tail light out

    This is probably a really dumb questions, sorry. I don't want to throw a bunch of best guesses at this though. I have a 98. 5 Quad cad 4x4 and the righ turn signal flashes VERY fast, and there is no turn signal or running light back there. I haven't pulled the cover off. Tell me, should I stop...
