    I agree about the staring fluid. This works better. Use WD-40. It light easily and is an oil based product. It also works for gas motors.:thumbs.gif

    Question Truck stalls after start relay clicking under dash

    Most of time a clicking relay means that it doesn't have enough battery current to close and keep closed the relay contacts. Clean the battery terminals then charge, then check the charging system. Hope this helps.

    hub bearings, rotors??

    I would agree with Frankenstien, Dyna Trac is the way to go. I put them on mine a year ago, because I plan to keep it forever.

    Question Dyna trac free spin kit.

    I did the Dynatrac kit last year when a hub failed. I just call Dynatrac and ordered it from them. Love the kit. Just one precaution, get new hub studs before you start and make sure to order the u-joints. I forgot and it cost me more to buy them from the parts store than Dynatrac.

    Everything is right, but instead of grease use halomar gasket sealer. Its better and will not harm the coolant.

    need some help on upgrading my stock mirrors

    caissiel is right the mirror will bolt up with minor mods. If you get power mirrors they will work but you may have to make a connector adapter to hook them up. I have 05 mirrors on my 99. Had to use an adapter but they work, also added a switch and relay and now they are heated too.:goodluck Mike

    Question Fuel Pressure Gauge

    I hooked up regular oil pressure gauge to my truck. I did use 1/8" copper line instead of the nylon. 65 psi is not high pressure. It's working for me.
