    Reman power steering box

    Thanks guys. Should have taken the damn thing to my mechanic to begin with. I hate having it sit. I knew i should have gone and gotten the "driest" factory box I could find at the junk yard :)

    Reman power steering box

    I replaced my power steering box about 8 months ago. It just recently has started acting like it has no fluid in it, and it is full. No leaks, or anything. Did I get a lemon?

    What is it worth

    Ramsey 8000lb winch worm gear. Needs remote and cable and maybe solenoids.

    I replaced the filter a day before this occurred, but i am not ruling out the fact that the tank maybe could have had some bad fuel in it still. Highly doubt it, but anything is possible I guess. thanks for the input.

    Oh, and I replaced the fuel line and filter when I replaced my carb. I was worried about bad gas so I ran a can of seafoam and ran out the old gas and have had fresh 93 in the tank.

    I wish I had some of you guys next door to me, for now this will do. I'm doing my best learning and try to figure some stuff out for myself. I do have a question though. As some of you know, I got a Holley 600cfm not long ago and have been working on getting my truck back in the...

    Which Holley

    I know many of folks use the 1406 Ed's but I must say, I hooked the Holley up and it has been like night and day difference. No tuning needed or anything. I had gotten pretty good at tuning the old 1406, and it just was never pleased with it. I am not writing off operator error, but I am very...

    Which Holley

    I'm sure it has been beat to death, but I have a 5.7l crate gm motor in my 86. I currently have a Edlebrock 1406. Never been a huge fan, it was just cheaper so I went with it when I put the V8 in my truck. I have some extra money, and would like to purchase a Holley. All my "mentors" have had...

    Been sitting

    I plan on doing that today. Luckily, I planned ahead before I parked it and ran it out of gas. I'll get a tank of 93 and seafoam, and a new filter, and see where that puts me.

    Been sitting

    Hope everyone is doing well. My truck sat for about 8 months and only got cranked maybe 6 times. I have it back driving (F a reman power steering box, too, btw.) and it seems to be running a bit rougher than usual. For you fellas that know more than I do, what all should I do? Adjust the...

    Bumper Fabrication

    Yes, that would not be good. haha

    Bumper Fabrication

    That is another idea I had. The way the bumper is mounted on my truck, I could weld some "straps". I will still get some pictures to give a clearer image. I'm a visual guy haha.

    Bumper Fabrication

    Yep. A picture will help the image be more clear. The Ramsey has a lot more space for a winch, but only has about a 3.5 inch "plate" currently, and it has 4 holes that the tow hooks mount in, that I would remove and put 4 bolts through it and lap it on the underside of the plate. It was designed...

    Bumper Fabrication

    I am not sure if this is in the correct location, if not, mods please re-locate. :sorry::) I have been pondering replacing an old Ramsey winch. I have a ramsey bumper, and I potentially have two different Warns that I could purchase from two separate individuals for good prices(almost to go...

    Winch recommendations?

    Im an idiot. I can just clock the winch. Carry on!

    Winch recommendations?

    What I am really asking does anyone have a ramsey bumper with a winch that is not ramsey, lol

    Winch recommendations?

    Any idea what type of winches mount from the front? I have an old ramsey RE8000 and it needs rebuilding. Ive got a ramsey bumper and the "mounting tray" is not deep enough for a winch that mounts on its feet.

    Inverted winch

    I am surprised the winch behind the front bumper is not a more common thing. I wanted a winch realllllyyy bad, and could not wait for the right bumper to come along so I had to scratch the itch. I kept that set up for about a year, used it a few times, one of which being in that "snow" (SC...

    Help w/ steering

    So, in theory should I remove that, find one that fits my box? Or just try and see if the box is incorrect and go from there? I hate to sound like an idiot but this is my first time messing with this.

    Inverted winch

    I had a winch behind my stock bumper for a while until I found an old winch bumper. I will post some pics. I had it "backwards" and everything worked fine for me until I sold the set up and to my knowledge the current owner has not had any problems.

    Help w/ steering

    Thanks. I am going to run by the parts store tomorrow. If I remember correctly they only had one in their system for an 86 K10. We shall see.

    Help w/ steering

    Good to know. Say I did get the wrong box, is it possible to just purchase a new rag joint with the splines, as opposed to having to remove the box, track down the receipt, etc? Or is the box different completely? Thanks for the help.
