    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?

    Learn something new everyday

    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'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...

    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...

    What to do?

    I've got a Ramsey Winch and bumper on my K10. The winch has never free spooled on its own, and I always had to use the remote. It has since quit working in the last year or so, and I am assuming it is the remote but am not entirely sure, and could use a new cable and good cleaning, and possibly...

    Drawer Box

    I finally found a used toolbox that would fit my square body. It did not come with the mounting hardware, so I had to fab one up. (Don't laugh at my welds, I am terrible, but they hold) Finished product.

    Replacement

    I've done some research and am wanting to replace my steering box on my 86 K10. I've read the stickies and can get the parts and everything but was really just wondering how the job was? Is it something a remotely mechanical person can do or should I leave it up to a professional...

    Steering box

    Ok, have not driven the truck much lately, and the one day I drive it, I come come and park it, and the next day I got a spot under it the side of china. After further inspection, It appears a seal is busted that I am assuming is where the Pitman?? arm comes out the gear box and connects to...

    slowing a leak

    I have not been driving my truck recently for whatever reason, and need to take it on a trip in a week (90 miles) or so. Ive got a severe power steering leak, i assume the entire system needs replacing, but due to funds that is not possible in a weeks time. I am thinking of replacing the...

    Rear End Questions

    Hey Fellas, My old chevy has leaked gear oil out the center chunk in the rear for some time. I top it off and roll, and everything seems to still be fine. In the future, I plan on going up to a 33'' tire and will be occasionally towing a tandem axle trailer with a Ford 8N tractor. If...

    Slave

    Quick question on a slave cylinder that is work properly as it should, should I be able to compress the boot without any kind of resistance? In simple terms should it feel hard to push if everything is working properly? I know that if it leaks and you squeeze it the fluid will come out...

    Clutch

    Since my square is not my DD, I haven't had time to fix it. Truck shifts fine when cold while engine is turned off. Crank truck up and it wont go in or out of gear. If trucks runs, and then I cut it off, and try and put it in gear it does not just "fall into" gear, it is somewhat...

    Leaking, help.

    I think I have maybe found the problem to my problem I posted about a while back. I went under the truck to look at my power steering, which the high pressure line has busted, and I discover this. I guess I need seals? The rear chunk is leaking at the yoke at the end of the...

    Sm465

    Long time no talk (a good thing for me) A while back, after a longer trip on the interstate, I noticed my truck occasionally while coming to a stop would give me a (I guess I could call it a vibration) feeling as if I was running over the little reflectors in the road, but one after the...

    New (to me) toy.

    Found this gem on Craigslist and plan on rhino-lining it along with my truck bed later on in the year. Ramsey Steel bumper and winch. Not sure if it is a 8000 or 12000, but damn if she ain't heavy. After having a Harbour Freight winch under the front stocker bumper on a bracket I...

    Always Something, But I am learning.

    Ok, So not to long ago I had a blown fusible link, from the starter to the junction block. Did my best to trace back to what caused it to blow, no grounded out wires, nothing obvious. The 50amp resettable fuse I put in line would hold for about 3 days, then "pop", then no juice to the ignition...

    Exhaust

    I swapped motors in my truck from a 4.3l to a 5.7l back in the spring. I did the swap on a budget and did what I needed to get back on the road. I still have the Cat, and V6 muffler. Now that I have some money I want to do my exhaust. I have headers, but I don't want anything...

    Stranded Square

    Got in my truck to crank it up and head down the road and nothing. Lights work and the horn works, and that is it. No clicking, no nothing. I checked the connections, the ground and even tried jumping it to no avail. Have some tools and am in walking distance of a parts store. Thanks

    Vent Window

    My driver side vent window bracket has busted (bottom male fitting) and hangs freely. I was looking in LMC and it does not appear that I can replace the trim piece that I need. Any ideas without having to drop the 500 or so on the entire package? Thanks
