You left the vent open and the wind ripped them off. Not good...

Buy a Timbo's APPS and save your money. The stock APPS is electronic driven where the Timbo's is completely mechanical.

Now with diesel prices sinking down well below gasoline price that got to be hurting the pocket book now. $2.809 diesel - $ 3.039 unleaded.

I know you got the screen cloth. But if that was aluminum screen like what I had I would not suggest putting against the coolers. It will rub holes in the A/C for sure and create leaks. If you using any metal screen put it to the grill not the coolers.

Might be true... But there is some humbling experiences you end up with at times. Just because I can work for people doesn't always means I get paid for the work I do. Sometimes paid at much lower rated than typical. Then like all summer I've been slammed with work and trust me I can feel it in my bones every morning. Then once winter starts then things get really quiet. Now the confinement of winter sets in and you don't travel, jobs are gone, weather is typically foul at both end of the canyon so leaving isn't a choice at times. Then with wood heated houses you have to stay home to keep pipes from freezing.

What wrong with building a web page for donations to the local church? What wrong with allowing people to donate using Paypal? Seems to work well here for the site it would just the same for the church.

I'm only human as well. I do what I can to help my fellow man. I don't see things as failing but as a learning curve. If I don't make it why? Lack of knowledge? Lack of ability? Lack of management? Lack of spiritual guidance? So now I learn from my mistakes and move forward. I know I will never be perfect. I can always learn how to improve who I am and what I'm doing. I sometimes sit down and look at my recent past and figure out why thing the way they are. There is things I can't explain that happen. Funny little story. As a kid I grew mostly a loner. Never really had any friends and didn't socialize much. Then I got in to my computer business was having a hard time trying to teach people because I always told MoparMom I really didn't like dealing with the public and and having to teach people. What happened... I held a computer business till 2008 and now from 2004 to current I still hold the forum and continue to teach diesel trucks and turn wrench for living. I still make my mistake in management of time or not ordering the part I need or other foolish mistakes. I'm who I am I would want to change it for the world. I happy with the blessing the Good Lord gave me and the ability to touch some many people locally as well as all you on the Internet. Thank you Lord for letting me be me!

I've got a piece of 4" exhaust pipe stuck in the neck of the BHAF. Then just soft clamped to the neck no different.

We do similar down at the service station. When we are doing oil changes we check the air filter for a mouse party. If so Dan has a roll of steel mesh screen for that purpose.

I can sneak home now with the 24V and still get in the door without MoparMom knowing. Just can do it with the 1996 Dodge because the main house garage door makes too much noise.

I just changed one on a little foreign car, talk about PITA to do.

I'm also 1/2 inch rubber hose from the fuel tank to the VP44. Then another 5 foot of 1/8" air brake line from the tap point into the cab on the old mechanical gauge and it used to buzz if the needle valve wasn't set right. So even with the change over I'm still 5 foot of tubing to the sender but have the snubber and needle valve at the tap point. Lot of people are wrapped up in the myth of using grease gun hoses will either suppress water hammer or suppress vibrations. Hate to say it it does nothing for either senders still fail...

Suggestion. Spray the upper lid with WD40. Then when you check the filter check the lid for dirt. Stock box is known to deform and leak dust past. The tell-tale signs will show up in the WD-40 sprayed on the lid.

That's really bold... I still wonder how long it will hold accuracy? Have you tested for accuracy?

Got you covered.

If prime is lost from using the engine to pump the fluid... Simple finish your flushing then hook up all the lines and again and refill the power steering pump. Now have front axle jacked up and slowly go from lock to lock. This will pump the fluid back through the steering system prime the pump again.

I know the whole over filling is to makes sure the upper bearings are staying lubed. Is it possible the overfill is foaming up the fluid excessively?

Just pull one return line. Cap the fitting on the pump. The two lines with hoses clamps are returns. Anything with thread fittings is pressure. Power Steering Fluid only. NO ATF! ATF is used in 3rd Gens but Power Steering fluid in 1989 to 2002...

Only problem it's not on the articles.mopar1973man.com side of the site. It'll get lost in the massive database in time and never be found again.

I typically just pull a return line route to a waste bucket and pump fresh fluid through till the return line is clean and clear. Then hook up and refill. Some like doing lock to lock steering wheel to push all the fluid from the gear box. If you going to do that jack it up for the front axles, leave the engine off and steer from lock to lock and it will pull the fluid through on its own.

It was different when Deborah was down in Nampa, ID I could call up and get seals next day in the mail for cheap price. Now that she sold it I'm not sure what its going to cost for seals.

Just remember that one failed cylinder can pass a blow by test.

TMI !!! I'm not going to let you either !!! Still funny as all hell. Seriously my steering gearbox is still absolutely perfect no sloppy steering and no leaks. No problems with my 5th gear nut too. Even 200k miles on the VP44 and still going. 1/4 million milestone has been reached!

You should write an article about that...

Or pushing large amounts oil out the vent.
