I figured I'd post an issue that is annoying the hell out of me, and see if any ideas came up. I was on a pipeline in Louisiana in my '96, when it started puking PS fluid from the reservoir cap. By the time I realized it, the pump was on its way out, so I replaced the pump and lines with new...

OK, I've been working with Goerend to chase a 2nd gear start issue in a 96 47re and have it narrowed down to the OSS, which is the circuit that I need some info on. Dave and Bob have been exceedingly helpful, but my schedule at work doesn't generally afford me the luxury of accepting a phone...

After entirely too much time and effort invested correcting my 47re shift-pattern woes, I tried something easy that works wonderfully. Please, before replying with a copy/paste link from Firepunk, note that I have every intention of swapping over to Anteater, but my current lack of both...

Hey guys, I just put a new timing case on a '96 12 Valve, and I've got something that has me stumped (maybe). I've got the cam gear back on (toaster oven method), and it's pretty well seated (around 1/32" of the cam showing past the gear), and the backside of the gear is touching the...

Ok guys, I'm installing a FASS pump in a guy's truck (setup is a FASS 200 fed by a BDP sump, 1/2" lines to a dual-feed at the P-pump). Pretty straightforward, but the bed is a custom welding rig setup, and dropping the tank is not an option because of the way he built the tank mounts. My...

Happy Labor Day, guys. I've been having an issue with my trac bar setup that has baffled me for some time, and has occurred with multiple sets of bars (two CPP sets and a custom set, in lengths from high 70's to mid 80's) . Rear attachment points are bottom-U-Bolt brackets and front points...

After telling many people I would post these, I got busy as hell. Sorry for the delay. I do 99% of truck stuff myself, but there are some things that I don't mess with ( or are outside my skill set), so I called up my buddy Terry at Monster Customs in Atlanta. They are one of the best...

I'm helping with a 47re truck that's never had the TV cable adjusted and I can't get the adjustment button (by the pump) pressed in for the life of me. My old standby method (a pry bar against the fender well forcing a flathead screwdriver up into the button) isn't doing the trick this time and...

I've got an S&B intake off a 2nd gen 12v, but I'm assuming it'll fit a 24v 2nd gen also. It's got the dry, disposable filter that is really dirty. The intake is in good shape and works perfectly, but the clear top cover is a little clouded. I like the intake, but it just won't work with my new...

I'm fighting the typical 47RE shifting issues that everyone goes through (and has been discussed many a time), but I've hit a snag that's had me cussing and throwing tools for a week. Little background: Built, billet 47RE with HTS VB, lockup switch with jumper wire/no trans relay. Drove great...

I've got a set of four Nitto 420S tires in a 305/50 R20. They're in really nice shape (around 12k miles) with plenty of life left. They're unbelievably smooth on the street, and are great tires, but they're just not suited for how I use the truck. Not dead sure what they're worth used, so...

I've got a nice set of four Z71 Tahoe wheels (NBS 00-06 "snowflake"-style 17") for sale. Came off a stock, adult-owned, Southern vehicle. $100+ the ride. They look like these (no tires).

My best friend is fed up with new electronics/emissions and is looking for the perfect tow rig for his equipment. This is what he wants: 12v 3500 4x4 Manual X-Cab (doesn't have to be Quad). Low miles, mint condition, well-maintained, the more options the better. Everything needs to work like it...

Ok, looking for something good looking/sound killing to line my engine bay and underhood area. Was thinking about that Dynamat that's made for underhood applications, but then I started reading about heat soak (which they say would occur if the Dynamat were in place) negatively affecting the...

Good job on the trac bars, and also the service. Wrong part got shipped (it happens), but CPP took care of it...the right part was in my greasy hands less than 48 hours later. These are, IMO, the best deal in traction bars on the market right now, period. I'd recommend them to anybody I know.
