    Question Steering question

    Sounds good...My next question would have been how long does it take to wear in.

    Question Steering question

    It's only been about a month since they were changed out so I'll give it somemore time to wear in. Thinks for the help Ron

    Question Steering question

    I just replaced both the steering box and pump. Do I need to fine tune the steering box? It seems a little stiff like there's a detent you have to push out of when you're going straight. It also doesn't want to "come" back to center easily. It does but not like it used to. Is the steering box...

    Motor cycle + running boards = 0

    The kid that hit us is fine. Full leathers saved his butt. He was slowing down to make the right when his front tire washed out, he went down and slid under the drivers door. It actually spun the bike around so it was facing forward again. Took three of us to pull it out. The running board kept...

    Motor cycle + running boards = 0

    I need another pair of factory boards. I was sitting in a left turn lane and the next thing I knew I had crotch rocket parked under the drivers door. I looked over just in time to watch him drop it down and slide under. The truck is high enough that there wasn't any damage to it, just the...

    Seat foam

    Has anyone replaced their seat cushion and springs? Mine are shot and I've already done the seat "mod". I'd like to stay away from the dealer If I could but... Thanks Ron

    In the shop

    Out of the shop with a new CPS and fuel pump. After I read how to the change out the fuel pump, I decided as long as they had it they could do it. Looked like way too much for me to handle...I still need to change out the orange intake boots, radiator hoses and the other little things. It's time...

    That was pretty stupid wasn't it ...Talked to the dealer and there seems to be a couple of things up, 1) changed the CPS out (hence the stupid remark statement. Guess I don't know after all). 2) EBV sensor was bad. 3) the ebv? tube was/is plugged 4) MAP sensor issue. 5) fuel pump...

    Not this time. I've had the CPS take a dump a couple of times now and I know the difference. I wish it was...It threw an IPR code the other day and I think it has something to do with it.

    In the shop

    Well on the way home tonight it started ramping up the idle to 800/900 then falling down to 200/300 and crapped out. It would start up right away and run for a couple of miles OK then it did it again. :dunno So I drive past Horizon Ford every night and because I can't push it out of traffic...

    Couple of codes

    Yeow...I'll pass on the IPR for now...it's running fine. You can tell by the number of times I hit the site with questions that I have little to no issues. As always thanks for the comments and help :thumbs Ron

    Rear brake shoes

    Did a service yesterday and found out the shoes are 3" and at 204k they still have some miles left.

    Couple of codes

    Starts great hot or cold, no problems. We haven't changed the IPR, but is it the unit you can change the O rings in? If it is we did that a while back. Normally it runs like jake the bear. Like today it's running normal. It was just that little hickup the other day. Maybe I should look into...

    Couple of codes

    Friday the RPM shot up and then dropped a couple of times which put me in panic mode considering I was in the middle of rush hour traffic and the check engine light came on. We did the 204k service this morning and pulled a couple of codes. P1211 ICP pressure above/below desired and P0236...

    Instrument Cluster

    I know when I went through "tranny" problems that weren't tranny problems we (the tranny guy and I) started on the VSS module on the rear axle housing. Pull it and clean it. If it's covered in filings then you may want to change out the rear gear lub. My tranny would bang 2nd real hard then...
