Compare that to the guy driving a Bronco (old 80's model) in the middle of town two moths ago... I was behind him at a light, and I saw he couldn't get it in gear... then he would go forward a bit,...

I agree, go with the OEM. Besides, you can always grab some aftermarket tow mirror attachments to the outside of your mirrors. I've got a set that I simply keep in my travel trailer. When I go...

Nope... never even considered a rear axle temp gauge. I change the fluid every other year, though, as I do some boat towing, and I'm always paranoid the differential may have been submerged by...

4.10. Love it. :)

This is my rig towing the beast of a trailer. My wife towed it two days ago (finally got her to try it), and her comment was "Wow! This is SO much...

Had them put in Red Eagle Clutches (50% larger friction space and more of them in the tranny), Kolene steels, upgraded sun shell, hardened splines, and a host of other things that they recommended. ...

OK, all. 2nd year towing nearly 10,000 lbs with the 2006 VortecMax package. The Dual Cam Sway Control absolutely is a dream. Drove from Mountain Home, Idaho, to Boise, Idaho (about 45 miles) in...

I've found about 2% of aftermarket fuel pumps are bad out of the box. You may discover you've been blessed with 1:50. :) That being said, yeah, check the electricity going to the leads, as RayVoy...

could also be a very dirty throttle body. Inefficient until you get a good flow going. Easy to clean with TBI. Just hose the throttle intake down with Throttle body cleaner. Use a cloth rag, where...

I had that happen once with a loose exhaust bracket. If it's a "rattle" type vibration, you might check them. It even went away in 4wd, just as you're describing.

Far more involved than engine temp in MPG. And I've never seen a 3.5 MPG gain with a thermostat change. I HAVE seen a 20% gain when someone fully inflated their tires though, so I highly recommend...

the thermostat temperature denotes the temp at which the t-stat changes from closed to open loop, essentially allowing the cooling to enter more or less of the system. The operating temperature...

Yep, 205-210 is the norm at warm temp.

Cheers,

Skippy.

Man do I miss Crappie fishing. In Idaho, they're only about >> << big. Nothing like the slabs they have down south!

I've never had a problem lowering the fuel pump, btw. It's two brackets holding the thing up. Just drop the rear bracket first, then lower it enough to disconnect the lines, then complete the other...

If you're doing it yourself, I've found a 3 1/2 ton jack makes a HUGE difference when putting the tank back up. (Getting it down isn't a big deal.. Getting it back up and centered properly is the...

How long did the Westin mount and Wench take to install? I've been thinking about getting one of those for some time...

Yeah, based on what you've done (no pressure at the schrader valve a few minutes after priming) you've basically perfomed a leakdown test.

You could confirm it with a gauge connected to the valve...

Not weird at all. Happens more frequently than folks realize, though not frequently enough that any individual wouldn't likely encounter it more than once or twice in the life of a vehicle, if at...

Very nice! Congrats. Love that "new" smell. :)

I second the maintenance interval problem. Here's a write-up I did not too long ago on this forum:...

Welcome! And good luck! Remember that limb-striping is a badge of USING the truck. :)

Definitely agree on the "not hard just messy" part. I've found the giant aluminum cooking sheets are fantastic for catching the draining. Other than that, a small kids pool slid under the...

bulb looking good and being good are two different things. I've encountered bulbs that appear to be solid, but have failed. I recommend swapping bulbs with a known good to prove the bulb is...

I recommend taking it to a tire shop and having them evaluate the suspension. They'll do this for free, usually (like at Les Schwab) and you can deduce whether or not there's something in the...

That's actually something I would be concerned about. The pump is simply pushing oil. Under ideal conditions, you're looking for flow, not pressure. In fact a low pressure high flow condition is...
