    I Got steering issues

    If this is the 98, I know that there is a steering wheel speed sensor and a module which controls a solenoid that regulates P/S pump output flow. I don't know anything about it , but thought I 'DE toss it in the ring. Check for DTC's. Good luck.

    Water in fuel sensor & fuel heater in the fuel filter housing ?

    On the side of the housing near the bottom is the water in fuel sensor. It is held there by 2 screws and has 3 wires to it. The heater as you know is at the bottom with 2 wires.

    Which Brand HO Pump?

    I am getting confused. My understanding is the latest pump balances the coolant flow between heads so that the passenger head does not get hotter than the driver's. That is all I care about, plus you get more GPH than the '94-'95 pumps. Where are the heads the hottest? In the rear further from...

    Which Brand HO Pump?

    No, they were 97 up and 99 1/2 up. One was at rock auto, but I forget where the other was. The one at rock auto was a CARDONE SELECT Part # 5511411. But being an aftermarket, who knows. My truck runs perfect and eventually I will do the latest pump, clutch and Duramax fan. I maintain the heck...

    Which Brand HO Pump?

    The 99 1/2 up trucks have the balanced water pump. There must be something different in the design. I was able to find pictures of the backsides of older and late pumps, but I could see no difference. I don't think this would just be a marketing issue to sell a "better" pump. There has to be...

    Which Brand HO Pump?

    This is from Bill's store. He must be talking about the number I mentioned. NOTE: For the more demanding towing conditions, consider our Extra Heavy-Duty Cooling System upgrade. This kit includes GM's latest design, high flow water pump, Extra heavy duty fan clutch, 21" 9-blade composite fan...

    Which Brand HO Pump?

    I would say there is nothing in the can. Just a junction. Snowdrift, what water pump was just introduced? I thought the GM 88894035 water pump was the big daddy as far as equal flow is concerned.

    Tried to find a picture, but no dice. I did not see it offered at Heath's store.

    Actually, I don't have any overheat issues and it is the original clutch. There is no "goo" leaking out either. I r and r'ed the rad to clean it and checked the fan clutch out. Plus I have a new one laying around. I just like to modify the inherent problems of this engine. I do a little here and...

    That is good advice. So are there any 6 bolt fans to use other than stock? Aftermarket maybe..
