    Help Needed Another Vacuum Solenoid Question.

    I have started experiencing the common problem of my ac only blowing thru the defroster outlets. I think I've found the culprit but I want to make sure I'm not over simplifying my solution/problem. My vacuum pump is operating and does shut off when it sees 15" of vac. I've ascertained that...

    Fuel economy question

    I've now noticed this issue for the past 3 years and have decided it isn't a fluke or bad memory on my part; in the fall when the outside air temps start to drop my fuel economy drops almost 1 mpg. In the spring when it starts to warm up again my fuel economy improves and I regain that lost...

    Squeaky leaf springs

    I've seen several different threads on different forums talking about squeaking front leaf springs and all the threads had one thing in common; what a pain in the obama it is to replace the isolator shims in the springs. I must have done something wrong because it only took me about 10...

    In tracking down a windshield leak I learned that this was an issue with many SDD trucks due to improper sealant application at the factory. In an abortive attempt to remove the rubber molding to reseal the windshield I also learned that you can't successfully remove the rubber molding without...

    Power steering problem, truck down!

    O.k. this is more of a 9-1-01/2 than 9-1-1 but confusion has set in and the trucks on the rack. My steering has seemed to have some slop in it from the start and power assist was practically non-existent at parking speeds or stopped. I've always assumed a worn out steering box...

    Question More AC Questions

    I've searched the various forums and have come up with a few general ideas but am hoping somebody with BTDT experience can chime in. While driving with the AC on it blows great for awhile then the compressor disengages, the air warms up and stays this way for varying amounts of time. After a...
