I have all 3 working motors with their screw-drive assemblies from a '97. I intend to keep 1 motor for myself as a back-up for my '98 but the other 2 are available. I can sell just the motor with the gear assembly or include the screw-drive mechanism if you want it but the added weight will...

The hydraulic brake booster on my '98 12-valve started dumping power steering fluid out of a small, approx. 1/8" hole on the bottom of the booster housing yesterday just as I pulled into the driveway. This morning, with the engine cold and after adding more fluid to the PS pump, it would only...

I'm getting ready to replace the bushing in the control arms. Is it better/easier to R & R them with the weight on the axle or with the front end supported by the frame and the axle dangling unloaded? Thanks, Jay

I think the bushings on my control arms are due for replacement. I think I read somewhere that the lower 3rd gen control arms are direct replacements on a 2nd gen truck. Can anyone here confirm that? Thanks, -Jay

I’m trying to determine the best method for the cost to supply adequate fuel pressure and volume to my P7100 to support 600-plus hp. I figure there are 2 options: larger fuel lines (if needed) and replacing the banjo bolts with AN fittings and perhaps plumbing a second feed to the pump, or an...

My current pyro is failing so I'm looking to replace it with the Danin Procol Optix gauge. Due to space limitations, I need the short, 90* bent thermocouple. I'll probably do the wiring harness just to keep it simple and clean. Here's the numbers: Gauge: C307534 Thermocouple: D192200 Harness...

I got back from a camping trip yesterday evening (pulling an 18 foot camper) and after I pulled into the driveway I noticed I was dribbling fluid, coolant it appears. The hill before coming into town is steep and 4 lanes and I used the opportunity to pass a bunch of slower rigs, so the water...

I'm looking for a stock, unmodified AFC foot for my P7100. I've modified mine and would like to try some different mods. Thanks, -Jay

A friend and I both replaced the head gaskets on our '98s recently and now we're both hearing gurgling in the heat exchanger for cabin heat when we start up the trucks first thing in the morning. I reduced mine a bit by continuing to add coolant to the reservoir, which would be sucked in when...

Well, technically it was the second run. Here's the story: Over the weekend I installed an o-ringed head with a .010"-over marine gasket. The studs were torqued all the way to 140 lbs. Sunday night I fired it up for first warm up and to check for leaks. All seemed good. It ran for maybe 10...

Some guys suggest .020 over gaskets and some go with .010 over. What are the reasons for your choices? I realize a thicker gasket will reduce compression a bit, and that may be the biggest reason if you're running big boost and/or timing. But are there other considerations? I'm hoping to...

My apologies, this may be a bit long, but I have a problem and I'm at a loss for a reason. The short: Yesterday, while driving home, in traffic, the truck just lost its capability to idle. Push in the clutch, step on the brake to come to a stop and instead of the truck settling to idle at...
