I've heard of another situation where ABS doesn't work well. Around here there are quite a few places where due to the freezing and thawing cycles the pavement can be broken up into a minefield of small potholes. If you drive across these areas at any speed your tires are only touching the...

That is correct. I assumed you were going to do a full EGR delete. Leaving the coolant flow through the heat exchanger will not hurt anything. I only had about 50 miles on my truck when I put the blocker plate in, and I could already see a light haze of soot on the inside of the intake plenum...

That is the cooling water hose. That would need to be re-connected to the other water connection on the other end of the EGR cooler. I blocked my EGR years ago with a solid copper "gasket" at the exhaust inlet flange of the cooler, and wired in a "finger stick" to stop the codes. I left the...

I'd bet that the problem is the clutches slipping in the main transmission. The question is why. The low range gearing in the transfer case means the main transmission only has to transmit a fraction of the torque to move the vehicle that it does in high range. If the transmission filter is...

That is correct. 50AH means the battery could supply 50 amps for one hour, or 1 amp for 50 hours etc.

Have you tried calling a specialized 4x4 and offroad shop? I'm sure that places like that deal with this sort of thing all the time.

I used to do alignment work "back in the day". The first step in doing an alignment "by the book" is to check and adjust if necessary the "Z" height. This is the height of the front end usually defined as the difference in height between the inner and outer end of the lower control arm. If...

Look at the valve covers. The LLY has external injectors while the LB7 has them hidden under the valve covers.

I doubt that Massachusetts will allow a repower with an engine that is older than the truck it is going into.

It should. If the threads stick out past the nut, you should be able to tell by eye which way the threads are.

Are you using an impact wrench on the nut? In the past I have swapped pulleys by using an impact while keeping the shaft from turning by holding onto the cooling fan.

That is normal. My truck does the same thing.

Wow. Nobody is going to accuse you of not making bold color choices.):h

There is a picture in my Photo Album showing a view down the side of my truck with 1 7/8" Correctrack spacers and 295/75/16 tires.

Just to be safe, better get both.):h

There were at least two restored JD 8020s at the John Deere Expo show last year in Canandaigua NY. Gotta love the sound of the "Screamin' Jimmy".

For good solid front end protection versus deer it is tough to beat a full replacement front bumper with attached grill guard. I really like the Buckstop one on my truck. It still has front tow hooks plus a receiver hitch to attach a separate clevis connection or even a portable winch. There...

The factory shocks on my 1998 1500 Z-71 were Bilsteins. That may be the highest price option that the Advance Auto computer showed.

Thermocouples produce a small millivolt signal that is proportional to temperature. You can cut down or extend a thermocouple wire without changing the accuracy as long as you use the proper type of thermocouple wire for the extension. If we were talking about a 2 wire RTD instead of a...

Sounds like you've got it. I'd guess that the visor would increase the size of the high pressure zone in front of the windshield since it is obstructing and therefore slowing down the flow of air going over the top of the windshield.
