Parker 831 doesn't meet the temperature spec. 836 is a reasonable general purpose alternate to the gates # I provided at first glance...
As for my promised follow-up post the hose that goes from the output of the Cadillac valve to the Fan shroud I used gates 4C5C which meets up to all the...
Year+ too late, but in the interest of good information I'll throw in $0.02 on this parade... HMMWV power steering return hose 6490610019 is similar to J189 spec, but has a slightly extended thermal rating of +150 deg. C on the high end. It calls out a working pressure of 250 psi, but that is...
Can anyone advise the proper dipstick and tube combination for DWF install on a 4L80?

For all the reasons mentioned (availability/price) I picked up mostly ECV axles instead of the RCSK17028-x...
Hi guys I've been lurking on the forum a while. Finally found the courage to field a couple questions.
I'm rebuilding a 93 M998 and moving from a new cooling system onto 12k axles/brakes/ball joints/steering. Have a few concerns:
