Since the power steering fluid drives the brake booster, when there is air in the system it effects both the steering and braking. For some reason this GM system makes it extremely difficult to purge out the air. Like I said before, I drove my truck for a week after replacing my brake booster...

OK Garrett, this took me an hour and a half to get this information together. If it was for anyone else I don't think I would have wasted my time. So the first page is telling about the "smoke cam", and how it will increase fuel flow the higher the angle. The second page shows the settings for...

It can a long time to "purge" the air out of the brake booster/power steering system. I had to go over a week before all the air came out of my system once. The best thing to do is jack-up the front axle and with the engine running turn the steering wheel full left and full right about a hundred...

Sad to say I've seen those shops. It seems for every decent honest mechanic out there, their are ten more who are out there to make a quick buck off of you !

The no-start happened after driving it for the first time . According to the OP it was working fine, then nothing.

Of course the whole thing with "Monster trucks" is they are not going 50 mph down the freeway. I have never seen one go over 30 mph in the arena. They usually are just crushing cars and such and maybe jumping over some dirt mounds.

Now that sounds interesting. If you removed the cleaner before it started to "etch" the metal I suppose it could be a viable option.

You got that right ! I had to take my vehicle in and get it aligned ( I don't own an alignment machine, wish I did though) after I replaced almost all the front steering parts. When I came back to pick it up the manager said all my ball joints and tie-rods where bad. I said "really ? That is...

OK Garrett, stop and think here. On a engine cam if the valve opens up a certain distance will it open up further if the valve stem is longer ? No. It is all dependent on the stroke of the cam. So the plunger holds more fuel. Does all the fuel empty out on the end of the stroke ? No. You will...

I agree. I told you guys about the one pump I rebuilt that had a severe trash build-up in the booster pump. It was so bad it broke the gear shaft in the pump. Take that end plug out and check the pressure relief valve.

I will just say this. I will never have anyone who answers an add I place on "Craigslist" come to my house ever again. I will meet with them but not at my home. I have had extremely bad people come to my home in the past and will never put my family at risk again (thankfully I have a "concealed...

The average tank pressure relief valve is 150 PSI.

Do you have a good fuel pressure gauge ? Install it on the final secondary fuel filter and see what your pressure is. The "Troubleshooting Guide" Floridianson posted will have the proper pressures in a chart.

I wholeheartedly agree. Set them up as part of the park brake system perhaps. Then if the primary brakes fail, pulling the park brake lever becomes an option. I'd like to see it done once at 50mph as proof of concept. That's the only thing I would ever use them for.

Yes they only should be used at slow speeds. Also pinion brakes add tremendous strain to the differential pinion bearings. The transit agency I worked at had at one time used "Telma" pinion brakes on the forty foot buses. They worked OK, but the differentials would go out ten times faster then...

Actually the different plungers don't make any difference. They all travel the same distance on the cam lobe. The cams are the same in all the injection pumps so they are all putting out the same amount of fluid per stroke. Now there are different pump Hydraulic Heads out there. Some with more...

Is he another child lost to the computer game world ? That's where my boy is at. Though I can get him to help me on occasion.

Just say "NO" to facebook !!!!! My wife has been lost to facebook for several years now. I've given up ever having her back ! Nice to have you back Garrett .
