    Trans leaking need advice!

    Thanks for the help guys. I checked the level and it was a quart low so I filled it back up and have been keeping an eye on it. I haven't had any problems since. :dunno Would it make since that it was the torque converter overheating since it did happen when I was beating on the truck and was...

    Trans leaking need advice!

    I'll start off by saying that I generally do my own maintenance, but right now I am 1500 miles from home in North Houston, Tx in an apartment with zero tools and management that will have a cow if I even open the hood. When I bought my truck (early '99 automatic) I noticed that it would leak...

    Hub unit bearing grinding!!

    I already got the early hub... I was aware of the differences and was going to swap both sides to the new version until I scored an early model timken bearing for $200. I know a lot of guys have said they paid $400 plus, but I've found many for well under $300. Amazon is your friend!

    Hub unit bearing grinding!!

    I had the tire wear diagnosed to the unit bearing. I have it apart right now and it appears that the inner surface of the unit was grinding on the axle hub seal. The question I have is; Is this because the unit bearing was bad and allowing movement? Or is this something unrelated that needs to...

    comment Snow Leopard

    Love my imac and everything I have from apple. Snow leopard is definitely an awesome os and iirc it takes up a bit less space than the previous os.

    Wheel bearing or locking hub?

    I see. You guys have been really helpful. Does anyone happen to know the part number for the axle seal that goes on the stub shaft in the knuckle? I've also been thinking(this could be dangerous) I think this seal might have caused part of the hub bearing problem. When I did my ball joints...

    Wheel bearing or locking hub?

    Thanks for the info. I usually am a fan of the oem parts as well, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Quick question though: Is the needle bearing replacement that you describe the actual wheel bearing that most say can only be replaced as the entire unit?

    Wheel bearing or locking hub?

    Sweet deal! Any suggestions on replacement brands? I've heard some of the ebay specials are the same as an auto parts store.

    Wheel bearing or locking hub?

    I noticed recently that my front passenger side tire was being chopped up on the inside. I checked to see if it was physically rubbing anything(nope), then I checked all the tierod ends(nope), so I pushed and pulled on the tire to see if I had any movement(yes), I noticed that it was not the...

    DP tuner questions

    Sorry for not stating it up front, but it is an f5. I know what the sequence is to put it into no start mode, but the problem is that it starts. Actually I think that he has my high idle tune in that position because that is what it does when it starts in position zero. I managed to pull the...

    DP tuner questions

    Kind of in a funk right now. I am having some issues with my dp tuner. While I'm waiting for them to get back in touch with me I was wondering if anybody has experienced similar problems. The positions are supposed to be: 0-no start, 1-stock, 2-high idle, 3-80econo, 4-140 agressive. What...

    This is going to be nice?

    If you're worried about oil and ccv vapors being around your children then I would keep them off of the local school bus. International in particular used an open atmosphere ccv on busses up until recently. :eek: As I stated earlier; this system which will disable the truck in some way will...

    This is going to be nice?

    This one seems like it will be pretty easy to defeat... They say that the truck will still run but with reduced power if the tank is empty. I'd be willing to bet that the aftermarket will have a fooler of some sort (to keep it out of limp mode) before the first truck rolls out of a dealership...

    HID/Projector headlight replacements?

    I just purchased the 05-07 harley lights from certi-fit. They are brand new and are made by Depo, who by all accounts are a quality company. I paid $62 per unit and they come with new bulbs in them. If they fog on me I will simply drill a few small holes in the bottom of the light to keep that...
