  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. Maybe some of the SaS threads should be moved here? Just a suggestion
  5. I found my winter front for my 95 at a junkyard in the back of the truck
  6. It's not going to come flying apart on the highway is it?
  7. I had a "test pipe" on my pathy for a week while my cat was on order. That was a great week.
  8. The idler pulley for the a/c belt is known to go as well.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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?
  12. 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....

    Water sucks

    I had the same problem with the drivers side and fount out when i did the passenger side that the washer closest to the control arm could be moved/come off. It was just seized on the other one. Made installation MUCH easier. And ramon, the bushing kit is like 22 dollars US, but I don't see how it's a waste?
  14. I get 16.5 in my 95 right now that is mixed between 15 minutes highway and 40 minutes of traffic every day. So I guess I'm doing ok.. When my cat was clogged I got CRAP mileage.
  15. It's 6 bolts but be careful that you don't break any off, that happened to me now my skidplate is only being held on by 4 of 6. Spray a crap load of PB on them.
  16. I run 89 and I find it gets better mileage here in Canada. Now that the price has gone up a bit I'll probably go back to 87
  17. Yeah I meant the radiator one. Man you don't need to shout, I have a headache
  18. there should be a little hose attached to that drain valve. Mine has one.
  19. I can think of vehicles with worse aerodynamics.
