    crew cab 2wd vibration

    The trans mount is good I was thinking the shaft too I'm calling around after work to get prices on balancing. I have a new carrier bearing I'm also thinking that I might have not installed it squared up.

    I'm back. LOL New Starter, no power.

    Can you jump the starter if yes then you know your getting power. If not then bad connection to your battery. I have always wired it with 3 1 to the batt one to the ignition (this is most likely the culprit) and one to the alternator. Also if you have an alarm check your relays for the alarm.

    random square body questions I would like some help with.

    The temp gauge stuck at 210. My buddy behind called me and told me to pull over and sure enough the coolent in the over flow was boiling. Checked my gauge and yep 210 when I tapped on the dash it pegged high. I guess what acutely caused the issue is the water pump gasket failed at the block...

    R134a systems have stronger compressors and larger a larger condenser. My experience with retrofitting to 134a was in my 79 camaro it was better than nothing but not good enough for me to justify they weight and hp loss so in the scrap bin it went. If the stock system in theses trucks is...
