maybe we should just call you pinky-poo -- budd at least i aint a member of the sissy seat society.... denny thats true you are a member of the very wide seat society....... roy remember folks this is coming from the pudge that traded his little sports car for a pick up truck so his ass would fit. and a 2wd at that. you know some people have a height problem.. vbg denny now ya gotta get it right. i sold the z06 although fyi people that weigh in excess of 300 pounds have no problem driving them. sorry friend i really didnt realize you were that pudgy..... that means that one of your girth my furry friend could drive a vette with room to spare. that makes me what about 175-200 lbs shy of your acreage... anyway sue wanted a tahoe z-71. i jumped out of the snow plowing and didnt have any use for a 2500 4x4 diesel so that went with the business. i still wanted a pick up for use around the house and towing the atvs so the lightning was just the truck. i wish it was a 4x4 though. with regard to a height problem you are taller than me. only with your ears up. bfg i liked the way my version fitted my needs better.... bg ill take my bengles over your pats if you give me 17 points... you game denny your on!! if ya lose you have to use the following as a sig until next sunday. i am a 300 pound pink rabbit gbmfg roy and if you loose youll be pudgy-wudgy..... bg denny .

one piece line with quick disconnects and if it is at the frame it is steel. hmmmm.... my 94 did not have any quick disconnect. then again it was diesel. sorta figured that is what the op meant when he said fuel leak. .

ive driven in south dakota and minnesota winter snow conditions since 1960 with bags or tubes of sand over the rear axle on two wheel drive pickups suburbans and in the trunk of sedans and coupes. this is part of my winter survival gear along with a 2gal fuel containerabout half full winter boots insulated gloves insulated hooded jacket packaged energy food blazeorange emergency banner a good shovel e.t.c. these days i also pack a cellphone with car adapter. ive always used 140lbs of sand and notice the difference especially in sideslip and startup tire traction when the weight is not yet in place if we get an early snow. nothing works on ice or snow for stopping assist except studded or blizzak tires. up in this part of the u.s. we still have organized ice races on frozen lakes using studded tires. if youre not driving at highway speeds it helps to reduce tire pressure for a larger tire footprint but since the dawn of radial tires thats not so important. i learned the rear-end weight trick from my dad who started driving in 1917 and was on the roadif you could call them thatin dance bands through the 1920s. roads up here were mostly unimproved then and either had no paving at all or were gravel or red claywhat dad called gumbo roads. his band carried all gear on the rear luggage racks and on the top rear of their vehicles for added rear end traction; they always carried sand and shovels because even seven guys could have trouble getting a 12cylinder packard coach sedan out of the snow mud or clay. all this talk about improved traction reminds me of a friend from south carolina that i knew in the navy. charlie bought his first car when stationed in the seattle area and believed the warning in his owners manual to sufficiently warm-up the engine before driving. he figgured sufficient warm-up time was thirty minutes for the 40-degree temps around seattle. those of us who were accustomed to cold weather driving couldnt convince him that 40-degree weather didnt require any warmup and that 0-degree would require only about 60-seconds warm-up before slowly driving a hundred yards or so to warm up the transmission and running gear. snow driving experience is the best teacher to figuring out your own methods! theres a couple of winter driving safety schools up here. i havnt been stuck since 1967; however that was after i exited i-90 backwards at about 60mph under unseen black-ice conditions. three fellow students died that day on the same road but in another car. once you lose traction youd better be lucky because no one is a good enough driver to steer a vehicle with no traction. i hope this is helpful for those worried about winter snow and ice driving. jay - havnt had an accident yet but learned lots of tricks to slowly drive in snow and ice. jim prove we are in error. but i should warn you that youre going up against close to a century of combined driving experience. -- budd whats the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver one goes whack darn and the other goes darn whack. yes its all in their heads. the sand i mean. jam .

been a long time since i worked on a diesel cause im not into trucks anymore but seems to me we replaced alot of hoses under the hood for fuel leaks they used the rubber hoses with clamps...diesels dont operate under the pressure like gasoline does gasoline systems are around 50 psi with quick disconnect fittings front to rear one piece line with quick disconnects and if it is at the frame it is steel. hmmmm.... my 94 did not have any quick disconnect. then again it was diesel. sorta figured that is what the op meant when he said fuel leak. .

been awhile since i worked on trucks but let me put my 2 cents in it you say speed sensitive and meaning engine can you tach it up at idle to make the vibration to isolate the trans-driveshaft-wheels. i mean if it does it without moving that would narrow it down to maybe the torque convertor/engine/pulleys if it does it at highway speeds can you put it in neutral to isolate trans-and engine while crusing at highway speeds that would leave drive shaft-rear end-wheels and i dont know if they have the button still on those trucks like my 95 but can you kick it out of overdrive glenn beasley chrysler tech no more dodge trucks well the shop is stumped. according to them they have done all that the factory recommended and it still vibrates. pretty much highway speeds. feel it in seat/floor/and steering wheel. shop mgr says it may be engine had the same thing and it was the exhaust. remove the muffler and see what happens. roy gary .

one piece line with quick disconnects and if it is at the frame it is steel the big deal is not dropping the tank the big deal is the fact that it is a one piece steel line that runs from the back to the injectors alot is involved to replace it you have to remove things to route the line properly you should be able to still get this line thru your local dealer i would go that route sonds to me that he is talking about the rubber line between the hard line and the tank. probably the return line it is well known for going south. roy .
