  1. Thanks for all the help. I pulled the water pump off and it had about 1/2" of shaft play in every direction.
  2. I was on my way home from work today I got five miles in to my trip, and my "check gauges" came on. I looked and my battery gauge was all the way down to the minimun. I drove about 10 more miles to an advanced auto and opened my hood. There was antifreeze all over the engine bay. The first thing I did was panic, and thought I blew my head gasket. Anyways, I put some more antifreeze in it and drove the rest of the way home. The truck never over heated and drove normal. It did make a squeeling sound every once in a while like a belt was slipping. So, do you think it is my water pump? Did all the coolant mess up my alternator? Is the water pump easy to change?Thanks
  3. I recently pulled the bed off my truck to replace the brake line that runs between the tank and the frame. After I reinstalled the bed and connected the lights I have no tail lights, and my dash won't illuminate when I turn the head lights on. I do have brake lights, turn sigs. and back up lights. All the fuses seem to be good. Any suggestions? Thanks
  4. I recently tried to change my power level on my comp box and nothing would happen. If I disconnect all my connections, but leave the power going to the box I can change the levels. Any thoughts or suggestions?
  5. When ever I drive my truck in the rain my water in fuel light will come on. It will then go off when I drive when its dry. Is there a sensor that gets wet and turns it on? Any suggestions?
  6. I was leaking oil from my vacuum pump, and I just replaced the seals in my vacuum pump with the kit from Gould Gear and electric. This kit is great made the repair simple. I'm sure most of you already heard of them.

  8. Is there a proper way to drain the water seperator on a fass 150? Whenever I open the valve on the bottom of the canister it seems like fuel just keeps coming out.
  9. How do I know if I have a limited slip diff? Did all these trucks come with it?
  10. I agree look on the cuumminsforum you can pick up a box like the edge comp pretty cheap.
  11. yep thats it. Is it held on with 4 bolts?
  12. Its been like that ever since I've owned the truck (1 year) will it hurt anything? Any one know where I can get a replacement?
  13. when I climb under my truck and look up at the transmission I can see what looks like a big gear (fly wheel?) Am I missing a cover or is made like that. Thanks
  14. Are the wheel bearing bolts a 12 point socket?
  15. I'm getting ready to channge my wheel bearings and front axle u joints. What size socket is the front axle nut?Any other pointers for doing this job would also be appreciated. Thanks
  16. How do you know when there is enough grease? It says on the package to grease them before running them.
  17. I need new front axle u joints and the only ones I can find localy are precision u joints. Are these any good? Should I go with greasable or sealed? I don't mind doing the maintenance.
  18. Thanks, I think I am gonna go with them. The price on them seems to be cheaper then the other brands.
  19. Any body know if glow shift gauges are any good? Any one have experience with them?
  20. The oil pressure on my truck always reads above 40. It is usually just before the slash mark between the middle 40 and the max 110 readings. (On the stock gauge) Is this alright? Why would it show this high?Thanks
  21. Yeah the ones I just got say load range D. 65 psi max I odn't tow that heavy so I should be ok with these
  22. I believe that the side walls on these tires say 65 max psi cold? So how could I run up to 80 psi? Thanks
  23. If I step up to 285/75r16 tires in load range E what tire pressure should I be running. I know alot of you guys probably have this size.Thanks
  24. Do I really need a triple disk converter, or can I get just use a single. I see that DTT's single has a pretty high horse power rating.
  25. I have 130, 000 miles on the truck in my sig with the stock transmission. The transmission doesn't seem to be slipping, but if I upgrade to 100 hp sticks can I get away with just a converter and valve body from a reputable company like dtt.
