  1. The guy said it came off while he was passing a transport at 120kmh. He also said he was told it was "metal fatigue" on the shaft. The ball joints were new, so I assume the tires were like that because the old bj's were bad. He said the wheel bearings were also new. He had a list of parts.
  2. was it like this I saw it in Whitney Ontario. Right near Algonquin provincial park. I don't know if those are ontario plates though.
  3. That looks like the front diff that is leaking.
  4. Fueler this is what my truck looked like when I was looking at it. I had a close up picture, but I can't find it. Redpath has seen it.
  5. I have a hole near the bottom of my headlight glass. One humid rainy night, the bulb popped, when I removed it, I found that it had actually exploded. There was bits of glass all over.
  6. Read my link oops sorry bowtied

  8. Some traffic came to a sudden stop in front of me today. I had kept good distance, but it scared me nonetheless. I slammed the brakes on and this is the first time in my life I've ever heard my pathy's front tires squeal to a stop. I didn't even think about downshifting. I stopped within about 5 feet of the guy in front of me. This was at about 70kmh or 40 miles per hour. He then got out to see if I was ok I then thought, wow, what If I hadn't just replaced these brakes and tires a few months ago. I would've been posting carnage pics instead of this.
  9. A little bit of cutting and you can fit most aftermarket speakers. With my infinity reference 5x7s and the stock covers on, you'd never know they weren't original.
  10. In a certain section of the FSM it has the measurements on where things are supposed to go on the frame. I don't remember where though. Someone else may know. I saw that you're in quebec, how close to ontario are you?
  11. To add to tex's post. Make sure you spray some penetrating oil on the bolts. I broke the adjusting bolt on my P/S. Now I have to do what tex did to tighten it. Every time.
  12. Maybe some of the SaS threads should be moved here? Just a suggestion
  13. I found my winter front for my 95 at a junkyard in the back of the truck
  14. It's not going to come flying apart on the highway is it?
  15. I had a "test pipe" on my pathy for a week while my cat was on order. That was a great week.
  16. The idler pulley for the a/c belt is known to go as well.
  17. Yeah I have one. Do you mean it will actually be useful for once? Yes, I did it with the truck running. When you are on the highway, and change lanes, you have to move the wheel quite a bit just to prevent it from going too far to the other side. This is all good info. I hope the box will take an adjustment and that the worm gear isn't worn out.
  18. I have replaced most of them, the centerlink, tie rods and such. Just before I came down to Mississauga actually. I know there is a dead zone, but it has become larger than it was when I got the truck. The idler arm, I did what you said, had someone turn the wheel and watched it. It didn't twist or move in the wrong way. GG is it difficult to adjust the steering box? The pitman arm is the one connected to it right? I found that when i reached in and turned the wheel just in the play, the pitman arm didn't even move. That is what leads me to believe the CL and tie rods are good, that and they are new lol.
  19. I expect a little play, but this actually feels loose. I thought the new parts were supposed to fix this! Do I even want to know if it's worth replacing the steering box?
  20. I did a quick search and didn't find anything. My steering seems to have what I think is a lot more than the normal amount of play. The ball joints, center link and inner tie rods are new. The idler arm and outer tie rods are good. As I wiggle the steering wheel a bit, the tires don't really move. Funny as when its really cold (read -35) the play is almost gone. I was told the "steering gear" may be worn out or damaged but I have no idea what that is. The truck drives straight and they didn't say anything when they did the 4 wheel alignment....
