I just R&R'd my cooler lines and relocated and replaced the cooler. Without getting into all the details, keep in mind that if you relocate the cooler it better have lots of airflow. That is why it is in the rad area. The engine fan keeps the air moving even in stop and go traffic or idling...

When the steering gear was r&r'd, what was done with the old rag joint between the intermediate steering shaft and the steering gear box. The rubber disc acts as a vibration reducer and chances are it was worn. As they are somewhat difficult to get, it may have been bolted up or something in an...

I'm in! Thank's.....

I may be wrong but I think the restrictor is the thermostat and the key is the pump. The problem is the upgrade of the pump means a new screw on clutch for those of us who have bolt ons. The cost grows exponentially..... The ACDelco pump 251-603 may (or not) be matched by the Alliant Power pump...

I found this article a while back and kept a copy. If the mods need to edit it, have at it..... I haven't done any of the mods yet but I thought I might post it for your interest.... It seems to be related to this thread. It doesn't address the rear lock-up, but it does discuss the wear and...

I'm not sure which mine are although it is a 1500. Are the 8 lugs separate and the 6 lugs integral or is it model specific?

I find this thread intriguing as those bearings have always been in the back of my mind. Turbine Docs' experience really started me thinking. I recall reading somewhere that you can lube the bearings through the ABS port with a needle fitting. This raises the question, if that is true, what...

I just finished reading through this thread. I've heard of hijacking threads but a forum?? That is a very nice project. I may take a side trip on my summer vacation road trip this summer. Ohio wouldn't be too far out of the way.... By the by, wasn't that a 50 mph sign you blew past in the "wake...

Now that would create some heat soak problems!!):h

Another update! After observing that the low pressure return line between the Steering gear and the P/S pump was strategically bent and directed into the depths below and behind the radiator, down into the frame area, I crawled under the truck with a flashlight thinking I was going to find a...

:iagree:): Because you haven't filled your signature it's hard to elaborate. Keep a lonngg handled grappling hook in your vehicle. If you are driving a pickup, keep the tail gate down. If you're in a SUV or van keep the back doors open and the side windows down. Always keep the vehicle...

Mine did that, some times 2 hiccups, sometimes severe, sometimes not. I relocated a new PMD/cooler off the engine but still in the engine compartment and it was good for a year until the weather got hot again and the same routine started but with the occassional stall thrown in for excitement...

So here's an update. Upon closer examination and further surfing, I've come up with the following: Pump: 1 high pressure output port (16mm x 1.5) for hose to the Hydroboost unit 2 low pressure inlet ports for simple slip-on return hose and clamp, 1 returns from Hydroboost, 1 from the...

I can't seem to find enough info anywhere so I thought I'd see if anyone here could answer this. My power steering pump is getting leaky and squeaky so I want to R&R it and I want to replace it with a high output unit, around 1500 psi. As some of the lines in the P/S, hydroboost and gear box...

I would have to say that the resonator makes it softer. The sound is still throaty and rumbling, just not quite as harsh. I don't mind the sound, but when I fire the Green Monster up at 04:00 to head to work, the neighbors all know that there's fresh snow and the highway's bad!:smilewinkgrin: I...

I have a 4040XL on my system That's the one with the built in dampener. It did quiet it down but not as much as I hoped. I replaced the SSDiesel one ( not the quiet unit). I have to admit it seemed to flow better, but if I was to do it again, I'd go with a 5" resonated muffler (5050XL) and adapt...

That's great!!:D:D:D

Malibu's? When I was a kid, my grandmother (mothers side) bought a brand new 64 white Malibu SS, 6 cylinder, three on the tree, black interior, buckets. Always garaged, not driven in winter much, she drove it for about ten years. One day when I was about 13 or so she arrived in this 73 Astre...
