If you can verify that hitting one tire on one particular pot hole or bump will cause the death wobble, then swap tires left to right and front to back to verify that the problem still exists. If it doesn't, it's tire related. If it does, then it isn't a tire issue. Tires even when balanced or...

Don't forget to check/replace the bushing and seal in the extension housing of the tcase.

I ordered stuff two weeks ago and it came in a few days later. Not sure...

That is the factory plastic injected retainers. If you put them in a press and push hard enough they will snap but it will be violent and unnecessary. You can heat them up with a propane torch. You do not need to get the yoke glowing cherry red. Just enough heat to make the plastic squeeze out...

Run some retreads from treadwright.com an save your money for the axle swap. Or find some used tires on craigslist.

From a technical standpoint, how would the oil become blacker sooner?

Ditto on the M1008 axles, bone stock will bolt in and work great. If you can't find them, I would look after some dually Chevy axles because you can run stock Humvee beadlocks without spacers.

36's and 10 bolts don't mix. If you plan on running that size, plan on doing a 14/60 swap. If you can reduce the tire size, they can last with good maintenance and a light foot. I've owned lots of lockers and limited slips. The best I've had in your description of use is a true trac. If you...

Replacement mirror for $6 or $8 on RockAuto. You will have to measure before you order, I think there are 3 to choose from. Very happy with mine.

99% of the cars/trucks on the road have engines with filters that are not vertical facing up. If this was such a major concern, engine makers would mount them correctly so they can be pre-filled. If it is, I certainly would fill it but most of the time you can't. An engine right after an oil...

Shouldn't need an anti drainback valve because it is mounted vertically but always good piece of mind. I will make sure I get the better filter next time. Not filling a filter is BS, a warm engine with warm oil takes a whopping second to fill. Engines can idle with no oil pressure without...

I think you answered your own question. If you ground out the blue wire at the card and the rest of the GP system works, then it all falls on the card. If the card is cycling incorrectly it may be a temp sensor or failed GP's but it will still work somewhat. Pony up the $70 and get a new one...

Thanks for the info, appreciate the help.

From I've been reading, a quarter turn is too much unless you have a wind maker under the hood. I will probably just leave the screw alone. I will just replace the o-rings. Any other words of wisdom? Does the top cover require a gasket or is it RTV? I want to make sure I get whatever service...

My truck has 6700 miles on the odometer and 5 hours on the generator hobbs meter. I believe it. Everything on the truck is clean and tight. If it had 106,700 miles, you would pull the shifter down and guess what gear it's in. I'm figuring since the truck has such little usage, the throttle...

Sounds like a little precision involved but better than having to remove the pump. Thanks for shining some light on this. I will tackle that job by myself and save a few hundred dollars. Anyone have a recommendation for ordering Stanadyne DB2 parts other than a GM dealer?

Today was getting some housekeeping done. I pulled the front driveshaft and clearanced the CV yoke. It was slightly binding at full droop on the lift. I removed a bit of material and now it spins smooth. I also put a little blue loctite on the driveshaft fasteners which always is some good...

Mine is leaking and I am debating on whether to just put a brand new pump in for piece of mind or replace the shaft seals. How hard was the job to disassemble the pump?

WalMart and Tractor Supply have been cheapest around me unless you catch Napa doing a sale. Napa by me is also running a sale till the end of the month if you buy an air filter, you will get a filter free.
