    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Polyarmor Brakeline

    Father-in-law called the other day with brake troubles. Said fluid was full but pedal goes to the floor. I was stupid and took his word. After 2 hours messing with combi valve and RWAl valve, I pulled the cap and the reservoir was bone dry!#@$%! Filled it and started pumping and you guessed it...

    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Xdm 45

    Well, It looks as though due to the great election, Liberal WI is finally going to get concealed carry. Actually, if all goes well, we will get constitutional carry, which basically means that it you can legally own, you can carry any way you want. I'm a 45acp nut and have been reading a lot...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bad miss unber heavy load

    I noticed it a week ago while aggressively passing someone. Then today I was hauling a trailer and going up a steep hill in 5th, it really started bucking. The harder the pull, the harder it misses. It does it anywhere from 1750 to 2500 rpm. Last year when it got cold, I would feel it just a...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission ABS light and Speedo

    My buddies 98 12ver had the ABS light come on and the speedo only reads roughly 50%. At 60 it bounces around 30. He replaced the diff speed sensor right away with no change. We cleaned all connectors and ohmed the wires to the Cad. Spinning the tires and we had voltage at the CAD connector. A...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Air filter monitor

    With the K+N filter freshly cleaned or a new factory filter, Mine sucks down to 100% plugged at less than half throttle. And yes I have a new amsoil EaAU on order! I'm wanting to check the guage and wondering if there are specs on how much vaccuum should move it how much? I think it'll be...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Powersteering/vaccuum pump woes

    This will be long but worth reading. Yesterday I go to the doc and when I come out there is a 3' diameter oil puddle under the truck. By the 15 mile drive home, 2 qts are gone. I crawl under and its pouring out at the 2 pump connections. I figure the seal is gone so I start calling for a kit. I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Chevy steering box

    I have a box from Chip that I think has gone bad. Two guys (one a chev steering and susp tech, the other a lifetime mechanic and racer) have told me the gear is bad. Chip will warrant it if bad, but I can't be down two weeks waiting for shipping and for him to go through it. I remember seeing on...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) IAT Sensor

    My mileage recently dropped from 20 to 16 mpg. I remembered to check the sensor and it was a mess! There was so much sludge I could hardly see the sensor in the cage. I pulled the boost boot off the intake horn and the inside was completely dry. It hasn't been 25,000 miles since I last cleaned...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 3 cracked rims

    Went to put new tires on today and 3 rims were cracked on the inside bead!#@$%! After just rebuilding the ft end and new shocks, again, I can't afford to upgrade to the 19. 5s. I've found some cool Dick Cepeks and Eagles and MB's for $100 -$145 each. Any experience with any of these? I know...

    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting DPMS Panther

    This spring I bought a LR308 AP4. I only have 60 rnds through it so far. I love the thing with one exception - the trigger. It leaves a lot to be desired. I know its a AR15 "style" trigger, but not all will fit. Do any of you have one of these and have replaced the trigger? If so, which one did...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Transfercase Bearing?

    I was just in another state and picked up a bad vibration. Evidently a u-joint went (year old spicers greased every oil change-3000 miles) and the rubber in the mid-shaft bearing pounded out enough that there was 1/4 free slop. While limping home, I noticed the t-case seal leaking. Touched the...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Leaking injector gaskets

    This site has again made my subscription worth every penny. Father-in-law's 99 ate another lift pump (airtex) and I finally talked him into letting me put an Airdog on. Everthing was great til he took it to town and fuel started spraying out the tank. The tank was VERY pressurized. Did a search...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Lift pump or plugged inlet?

    Father-in-law had a brain fart and filled up at the local coop that is known for bad fuel. He called me the other day saying he had almost no fuel pressure. Its a 99 6spd stock except an EZ. A year ago I replaced the stock LP with an airtex replacement. I just went down and changed the fuel...

    Miller spectrum 701

    Does anyone have or have used a spectrum 701 plasma cutter? I know its an older model, but wasn't it supposed to be great for it's time? I am looking at one tomorrow that I can get for $700. It supposedly has been used little and looks like new. What do ya think? I want one rated for bigger...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Engineers can be idiots!!!

    I'm repainting the old truck. Wisconsin salt has taken its toll. I was pulling everything possible off to fix and paint separately. Went to take the front fenders off and the metal wheel tub is welded to the outer fender! To pull the fender both battery boxes, antilock module, air cleaner all...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Altenator?

    Ran to town today, stopped at a store, started it back up and a couple minutes later the check gauge light comes on. Look and voltage was almost down to 8 volts on the gauge. Pulled over and shut it down and looked around. no bad connections or fuses. Just for giggles, I pulled the heat grid...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fiberglass parts?

    I'm tired of dealing with rust from the good old WI salt. I'm getting ready to redo the body and am contemplating making molds and parts for the box sides and maybe door skins and or complete doors. Complete doors would take some work, window channels would be the hardest as the glass would be...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission AC driving me nuts!

    The compressor was dying, no high side, so I replaced the compressor and accumulator with new from 4 seasons. Flushed it out with solvent (before putting the new in). Let it sit over night. Next morning I put the new in. Hooked up the vac pump for an hour and then recharged. Now, if I fire it up...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission AC pressures

    My AC is crapping out. It was low on R134. I put some in and the most I get on the high side is 85lbs. I thought normal high was around 200. It appears the high port is after the orifice - doesn't that drop the pressure? It doesn't matter what the low is (from 30 to 42) I never got over 85...
