  1. I have a problem with the ride bogging out in all gears if I'm in a low rpm range.kinda feels like a lack of fuel etc.. I could be slowing down for a light or riding in forth at low rpms.

    Now I have read all the threads and decided to replace the fuel pump relay sensor,that did not help,my fuel pump is only three months old also.This problem I have never happpens when its cold out but only when it warms up to melting point or above.I have a a hole in the top of the tank that I need to fix,is there a possibility that when it warms up outside these hole(s) expand allowing for air into the lines or any other explanation would be helpful.

     

    Thanks Mike.

  2. Being just a couple of hours from you Mark,we have all been touched by this,these boys were comming from my hometown on route to Bathurst,whats even more tough about this is the alarming rate we keep losing folks on our highways here,especially young men.

    My Condolences,Marc.

  3. GL-4.

     

    To get the fluid out, simply take out the drain plug at the bottom. It'll all come out.

     

    To put 5L in, I always did mine through the shifter hole. Much easier than jacking up the passenger side of the truck...

    Thanks!!! I must have misunderstood another post,I thought I had to jack it up to get it all out.
  4. I do not know what my brother has done in terms of tranny fluids,he probly used any ol thing,anyways I want to swap it out,if he indeed use GL-5 would it be fine to go back to GL-4?I find GL-5 has too many detergents,also I read about putting 5 litres in not 3.5,what side needs to be jacked etc.. to get all the tranny fluid out?

    Thanks Mike.

  5. I'm going to have my upper&lower ball joints replaced next week,well I would rather do it my self,but when searching for a possible (how-to) I had no luck,for the members who have replaced their own could you offer any tips?maybe what tools you preferred using.

    On a side not,i replaced the two front door handles and guts,I can get into the ride without using the back door.LOL!!

    thanks Mike..

  6. There should be a sticker in the door jamb, or glove box that tells you the optimal pressure to run in your tires. Personally, I believe it's a little low, and geared towards comfort. 30psi is usually a decent baseline to start with.

     

    You can do the chalk test to see if your pressure is good.

     

    Draw a line across each tire, and drive around a little bit. If the center wears out, but the outside doesn't, your pressure is too high. If the outsides wear out, but the center doesn't, your pressure is too low.

    thanks!!! I forgot about the ol chalk test.
