    Replacing inner tie rods...

    My inner tie rods are flopping around so I bought new ones and am going to replace them this weekend. While I'm in I'm gonna replace the factory F8 stabilizer shock, but I wonder if I should replace the outer tie rods as well? Do they wear as quickly? I know I can get the alignment close by...

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    So you could run the cable to a snatch block on a tree (far away) and anchor to a tree (up close) and the load on the winch is cut in half? Coulld you use more snatch blocks and do it again and the load is cut in half again? Remembering those physics classes.... Sounds like this could get...

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    Not sure what a snatch block is. I saw them advertised, but by looking at the picture I couldn't tell what they do. Also, is it a good investment to get the pulley that goes around a tree trunk and allows you to pull from a different direction? Jesse

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    Is Ramsey any good? I see that the Jeep guys use them alongside the Warns. What do you mean cable kit? The roller guides? Or do you mean battery cable? I wanted to do it on the reciever so I can keep it in my toolbox when not needed or move it from front to rear or visa versa. I...

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    Long story short, I just had to rent a backhoe to go back in the woods and pull out my truck. It was wedged at a downward angle with the front end in a creek and the front bumper resting on the opposite bank and the front tires were off the bottom. So, if I had a winch beforehand it would have...

    Summit tranny filter? Options?

    So if the boss has a bypass check valve on it to allow fluid to bypass a clogged filter, would the Summit filter be a good deal? Or would it cause too much of a restriction in line pressure from being a full-flow? Jesse

    Summit tranny filter? Options?

    I could just buy some hose from an autoparts store and T it into the pressure side before the cooler. I guess what I need to find out is if an oil filter (I think PH8A is a SBF filter) will work on ATF. Jesse

    Summit tranny filter? Options?

    Summit tranny filter? Options?

    Summit pn SUM-G4980 uses a Fram PH8A oil filter inline on the pressure side of the tranny line to filter the fluid. The only problem I foresee is if the filter gets clogged, the tranny loses flow (but we should be replacing filters every so often anyway). I am contacting Summit to see if it has...

    Door switch pass. side?

    I have a faulty passenger side door ajar switch and was wondering if it is a plug-n-play repair. The switch registers when the door is opened, but never senses it closes. Any insight? Jesse

    Seat removal?

    offtopic Don't use Dynomat, use aluminum backed gutter repair tape. 6"x50' I think was just under $30. Worked well in my Mustang, I double layered it. Jesse

    7.3 TERRIBLE MILEAGE!

    Not sure if the 01 came with the overhead console with the mpgometer, but are you actually calculating the mpg or using a meter? You can't trust the console if you are using that. .02 Jesse

    What happens in bearing failure?

    I was thinking about what would happened if a hub bearing failed and the hubs were disengaged, would it take out the transfer case/differential? Maybe my thinking was wrong and the wheel will just lock up... Jesse

    Boost !!!!

    I see 25-26 every time I punch it. *begin thread hijack* Tail-gunner I'm in the same boat as you are with the early 99 mess...pretty discouraging, the swap kit is about 800ish bucks....How do you like the single-shots? How much/worth was that dyna-trac hub swap? *end thread hijack*...

    Vacuum Leak??

    I had the same problem in my truck. I had to do balljoints and while I was in I replaced the vacuum o-ring as well as the oil/vacuum seal behind the hub assembly. It's a Ford only item that costs about $40. Replaced my vacuum hoses to no avail, it was either the o-rings or that seal that...

    Was going to make a post about this question, but it looks like you just answered it. So ideally, I shouldn't take off until the GP's turn off and the headlights brighten up? Jesse

    Maxed out my SCMT?

    Understandable, but when watching all the drag trucks in the NDRA leave the line, they are followed by their smoke...Maybe cooling cylinders with fuel? Dunno, maybe I should change the question...what tuner or custom chip will be worth switching for? Jesse

    Maxed out my SCMT?

    When I had a stock truck with the SCMT I could always puff out the smoke but now that I have a 4" turbo-back, homemade filter, shimmed fpr, etc...I never get any smoke and it makes me think that I have maxed out the tuner. Time for a custom chip or better tuner? Jesse
