    Air bag use

    I have the ride rights on my truck. Most of the time I have about 10 - 15 lbs of pressure in them. I use them every time I tow my 5th wheel. 60 - 70 lbs and the truck is level. Makes driver with the camper better too. Helps absorb the bumps in the road. Now if you drive unloaded with the...

    Rear seat in crew cab

    What is the difference between a 99 and a 2000 rear seat area in a crew cab truck? I am looking at a MTX thunderform that says it is for 2000 to 2004. Even though crutchfield is very good, and I buy from them, I received a stock answer when I asked the question " the item says it is for 2000...

    ocer head computer

    Well, this will be the third or forth time I need to fit the computer. But this time the resistor was broken. Does anybody have a 68 ohm surface mount resistor they want to sell? If I can not find smr, will a regular resistor work? Thanks

    HELP - Need a little hub advice

    You can keep them off until your new hubs arrive. You just don't have four wheel drive now. I drove for a while without the hubs on and there is no damage done.

    Chip and trans life

    OK, I know that the stock trans is a weak link when high performance mods are done. What I am curious to know is if I get the DP Tuner chip with the 80econo tune, and only use the 120 race once in a blue moon, would/should the trans last? My driving style has changed that I do not "race" the...

    Tach not working

    My coworker picked up a 99.5 F250 Pretty decient shape for a 11 year old work truck. Only has 98000+ on her. The tach has not worked since he bought it. My first though was the sensor in the rear diff, but that does the speed, not the tach. What do we need to look at for the tach...

    hotter heat for the passengers..... For as long as I have own this truck, it has gotten between 15 to 17mph. Seems the more I do to make it efficient, the harder I drive it.

    HUBS...to lock or to unlock?

    The vacuum lines are for the hubs, and are the source of a lot of vacuum problems. It is suppose to work that when you turn the switch, the transfer case engages and a vacuum is sent to the hubs to engage them. When you switch it off, the vacuum stops and usually you have to drive in reverse a...

    ?Fuel? from exhaust

    Well the 3.5 hour drive home today in the drifting snow was fun... When I finally got home, I saw this coming from the exhaust. It has no smell that I could tell. Any concern, or could it be from the 35mph drive home in the snow just didn't let the truck get really warm? This is the...

    Putting in a sealed bid for an '85 Chevy Silverado???

    Playing with it, if you put in the 4 or 6 cylinder, it deducts 10% to 15%. Was the v8 the standard motor?

    Question aftermarket air intakes

    Tail_Gunner, your signature answers this but I want to be sure. You see no ill effects with the AIS on your modded truck? I saw a page somewhere that said the AIS should not be used on modded trucks. I'll assume that the foam sleeve helps in suppling enough air for the truck. Is the foam...

    Air Bags for swaybar

    I have been after a rear swaybar for my truck, but I have a question. Would the rear air bags work as a swaybar? I use them for towing the camper, other wise, they are deflated. They are on seperate lines, have to fill each one by itself. If I were to ad enough air for a comfortable ride...
