    Starter Options

    Thanks for the information Brandon. It sounds like I couldn't really go wrong with an Alliant starter if they are an OEM. And I agree with you that any country can make good or bad products. But all and all, my experience with products made in China has not been overly impresive, to say the...

    Starter Options

    Hello All, I would really appreciate some advise on a replacement starter. I put a Super Duty starter (two hole mount) from DB Electrical in my '97 Heavy Duty (three hole mount) a few years ago and I really like the faster turnover speed and it has worked great- so far. But I am pretty sure...

    Fuel Leak

    Thanks DOC-MX. I was able to determine that the fuel was coming from the weep hole so I have replaced the pump. End of problem- HOPEFULLY! Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions. Pete

    Fuel Leak

    Thanks to everyone for your quick responce. The fuel is only at the back end of the pump- it is quite dry in front of it. As per Patrick's advise I will check the torque of the banjo bolt. If it is the weep hole, and I think it is, what does that mean? Is the pump about to fail? If that is the...

    Fuel Leak

    I have a fuel leak that is causing fuel to pool up in the back of the valley underneath the large bolt that attaches the fuel lines to the fuel pump. I don't see any obvious signs of where the fuel is leaking from but I am thinking the fuel pump itself. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, Pete

    No Fan?

    I always kept the fan and wrench in the truck just in case I needed it. Good idea! Pete

    No Fan?

    Thanks for the information, big rooster; i have been thinking that it wouldn't be a problem. I guess that there is only one way to find out! Pete

    No Fan?

    I have been contemplating removing my fan and operating the truck with no fan at all. I have heard of converting to electric fans, but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort since I live in a fairly cold climate. Are any of you running with no fan? If so, any overheating problems? Thanks in...

    Spring Replacement

    Thanks for the information, Richard and Robert. I have been wondering about the bushings as well and have heard quite a bit about the polyurethane bushings. Don't they give a harsher ride? Pete

    Spring Replacement

    Hey gang. For most of the 118,000 miles or so on the ticker, my truck has carried a 2,700# camper down many a bumpy road. So I cannot help but think that the original springs may need to be replaced. There is no obvious problem with them, but perhaps the ride has slowly deteriorated over the...

    Roll Call Alaska!

    You are not quite alone, Crumm! I am here when I can, but I don't spend much time on the computer! Work sure does interfere with my quality time:( Pete

    97 dashboard

    I took my dash apart a couple of years ago for the same reason. It was pretty straight forward, and I don't recall any special tricks once it is unbolted and the headlamp knob is removed. I replaced all of the bulbs while I had it apart and I used some long life bulbs so if I am lucky, I won't...
