    So we've got a 98 sport. Bone stock. Just replaced the motor cause it was alot easier than repairing the F'ed up timing chain situation. The pressure transducer never had a problem prior. Always had fantastic oil pressure. Now, new motor new problem. I'm talking new motor, not slightly used...

I'm looking for the most frugal way to get this problem fixed with out it being a "cheap fix". I don't want to buy the Autozone $93 starter but I cant really afford the Napa $163 version...

    Anybody else have a blinking RABS light?

    My 91 sport has RABS. I was wondering has anybody else had this blinking light? It seems like the system works when needed but the damn light blinks sporadically. Any input? Has this happened to you? What did you do? What was it?

    Cruise control at 25mph?

    Does anyone else get their cruise control to work at 25mph? Mine has done that for a few years. I've actually never known it to not work at 25. Does the cc read speed straight from the speedo or the drive shaft? I know that my speedo cable needs to be replaced cause its consistantly 5-10mph...

    Axle shaft!?!

    Ok, so I have a 91 sport. Shes pretty much bone stock. I'm having the most frustrating problem with this damn wobble that wont go away! I've isolated it to the left rear. I started with new drums, then I had those turned. Then I rotated the wheels, (several times) then I replaced the axle...

    Bent axle flange?

Replaced axle shafts and seals. No more brake pedal wobble. Still wobbles tho!!! Just not in the pedal any...

    wobbly wheels...

    So I got new tires, fresh balance on them. I've had a wobble for couple years and I finally got sick of it. Ive replaced pads and rotors. Fixed the front wobble. I replaced both drums, (I only had maybe 10k on rear shoes so I didnt figure I needed to replace them) still wobbled. Took both...

    Replacement Sport Rust Panels, Who needs em?

    Who here has a sport with rusty rockers and lower quarters and cant find em anywhere? We need to put together a long list of sport owners who need these panels so that companies like LMC Truck parts will produce the patch panels that we need. They need to know that there is a demand. So lets...

    the terminal A4LD, it died

    So awhile back I posted a thread titled, is my A4LD terminal? The answer to that question is YES. It finally pooped out on me yesterday. Im not really stressed about it cause I knew it was coming from the day I bought it. I was lucky enough to get 22k miles out of it. This is what happened...

    Is my A4LD terminal?

    Ok so Ive looked around and I havent found my symptoms anywhere. About 12,000 miles ago I had the trans flushed at Jiffy Lube. It worked alot better after that. I just checked the fluid recently and its full, but dirty. These days now that its getting cold again Im noticing that on the first...

    Quik Driveshaft question.

    Im working up some motivation to crawl under and work on yet more U-joints. This time its the front shaft. My question is; When pulling the shaft off the front of the transfercase, do I need to worry about fluid peeing out when I slide the shaft out of the tc? Or is it sealed pretty well like...

    I dont think I like this A4LD

    My transmission is starting to concern me. I know understatment right? So most of the time it seems to work right. So far the only thing that Ive done was to flush the fluid (Jiffy Lube), and tightened the bands. Both of which seemed to help, to some degree. Every once and a while...

    Thermo clutch fan

    My fan seems like it comes on at the wrong time. Does anyone else's fan come on at first start up and then every time I stop at a red light it comes on again. At start up the truck is cold so I would think that a fan would not be needed till the the vehicle is at normal operating temp. Is it me...

    Electric cooling fan?

    I've been looking and looking and can not find anything about how to swap out the clutch fan to an electric. Ive given it alot of thought and I've got a pretty good idea but I was wondering if there was already a kit. Im tired of hearing that damn fan whenever the truck cools off alittle. I have...
