    Rear Brake Cylinder Replacement?

    Use the Napa #4637337 cylinders, they're larger than the Dodge 1 ton and fit perfect. Just give them the number, they don't need to know what it goes on, seems to just confuse them. I've changed out lots of Dodge 1 ton cylinders to the GM sized cylinders, everyone has been impressed with the...

    Seatbelt Indicator

    Joe, what happens when the timer fails is that it supplies power to keep the belts released when even when parked, this is what drains the batteries. You have to "sneak up" on it to check if this is happening by leaving the window open, if the door is opened the belts will release. The key must...

    AirFilter system

    Very big difference with turbo noise with the TAG. You also get faster spool up and a smoother running engine. The good folks at DPP will let you send it back for a full refund for the first 30 days. They haven't had many returns...

    Cold Weather Experiment

    I've quit changing over to synthetic PS fluid for the cold weather groans and now use Lube-Guard PS conditioner. Five bucks at any auto parts and you'll never hear the whine again.

    Most Miles?

    212k on my '95 and feel like it's just getting broken in. Besides modifications the only engine work besides regular maintenance has been replacing the rubber fuel hoses, starter contacts and water pump.

    Optimas - are they worth it?

    The best Optima testimonial comes from a welder friend who has a Red Top on his mobile Lincoln welder. The battery was dropped about five years ago and is missing the entire lower third of the case, been working flawlessly the whole time. Try that with a lead acid battery!

    Optimas - are they worth it?

    I won't buy any other type of battery now that I've used Optimas. No corrosion and 100% maintenance free is the reason. Wish I could have back all the hours of my life that I wasted messing with corroded terminals and wiring. I'm running over twenty Red Tops in various trucks, tractors and farm...

    Starting While Plugged In?

    No problem running plugged in, in fact the manual for 24 valves recommends it. I leave my heater plugged in all the time (cheap power) and have gone up to ten days at a time without starting it, still on the stock block heater 210k and eight years later. Someone told me recently, not sure if I...

    Strange Brakes

    The guy you want is Sam Peterson 360 357 4958 Your grabbing problem sounds like flash rusting of the drums. It's worse when the weather is humid or raining. About the only thing you can do is be aware of it and take a few gentle stops to clean the rust off before you really need the brakes

    Door Froze to Weatherstrip

    Well I guess I'm still waiting after eight years for my seals to fail. I've used silicon spray on my door seals at least four times a year since new as recommended by the owner's manual. My doors have only froze shut when snow melts and refreezes, it's not on the seals but rather on the outside...

    Bombing

    Re: Re: Bombing Think the term goes way back further than that, it's also biker lingo for chopping/modifying a Harley. I can remember using it in the '60's.

    goofy question...

    I bet you reach the top of the governed high rpm and it was defueling. It's not so bad when empty but when you reach the top loaded or towing it doesn't feel too good.

    John Deere 4110

    I have no doubt the tractor engines can be turned up but are they still used to farm with? I farm and rather than make a tractor less reliable I'd rather just buy a bigger one. It's too important for me to have a tractor that works when I need it, timing is everything in farming.

    Blown head gasket, or ??????????

    Hutchew, you're probably not getting much response because it's one of those things you almost have to see in person to diagnose correctly. It takes very little oil to turn things gunky. It being a 1st Gen probably doesn't help much either. Just noticed you have a '98 engine, there is an oil...
