Q: tom sorry for so many questions but i visited de ac delco web page and they say that they repair the pumps and then sale them they doesnt make new ones clt. tom lawrence wrote what do you think about acdelco power stearing pumps i find one here that comes from atlanta and cost me us$150. i havent see the pump jet but by the phone the person says that they are the same. the original steering system was made by saginaw and used on many gm vehicles. an ac delco replacement part should present no problems at all. .

did i get enough tranny fluid 9 qts. 2 for the transfer case and 6 for the tranny 1 extra just in case yeah that should be enough. im glad you sent me the tsb on the diff fluid. now i know to only fill them up 1/4 from the hole. otherwise i would have filled it until it spilled out. i have the 11.5 rear axle and the spec on that is 1/4 below the fill hole +/-/4. i read that as fill it till it leaks out. the caution against fluid foaming is somewhat laughable... the fluid is constantly getting churned up by the ring gear no matter what and as such is formulated with anti-foaming agents. so i will return the rtv and friction modifiers. regarding the gaskets i am more comfortable not re-using what is already there. so i will purchase the diff gaskets when i return the other stuff. shrug thats up to you but believe me when i tell you theyre meant to be re-used. double-lipped rubber over steel. ive had my diff covers on and off probably a half-dozen times and have never had any leaks. im so mad i could just spit. tell the parts guy to put his nose in an 03+ service manual once in a while... these arent dana axles anymore which need both the rtv and the modifier. .

on fri 07 oct 2005 104505 -0700 thenewguy thenewguy@notebook.com wrote not that much difference in price around here but my ctd gets much better mileagge than my dodge 360 ever got in its best wet dream. anyway to each his own i guess and again i am debating the technical merits mine are just comments from someone that has driven both used both as daily drivers and towed the same loads with both. if you think a gasser is better..................well then drive a gasser. my main experience with tds in pickups is from rv trips with friends... lots of comparison over the cbs about speed/rpm/etc and imo td is the way to go if you tow a lot... last trip that i remember was about 400 mile round trip our 360 1/2 ton gasser pulling 6000 pound travel trailer and our friends in a ferd 3/4 with td pulling an 11000 5th wheel... we were cruising at a little over 60 and or rpm was about 2700.. his was about 1600 if i remember right... i know it was much lower than ours.. he averaged 13 mpg on the trip we averaged a little over 8 mpg.. not enough for us to justify a new truck because were weekend warriors but the difference when you do a lot of towing can be dramatic... our test was on flat freeway i wont talk about the difference in speed and rpm on grades .

there should be a sensor located on top of the differential that might be the problem. jmtcw on fri 07 oct 2005 202503 -0400 dandt dwapperson@hotmail.com wrote i have a 1999 dodge ram 4wd 1500. the abs and brake light on the dash will not go out. there doesnt appear to be anything wrong with the brakes. i have checked the front and rear brakes and both are good. the brake fluid is full. i do not see any leaks. why would both lights remain on i even checked the switch under the parking brake to ensure it was not stuck. any suggestions .

johnny thunder wrote ratabor wrote bought a brand new 2005 dodge dakota 4-door on memorial day had 12 miles on it. last week the truck would not go in reverse with only 5900 miles on it. find out this week that the transmission had been rebuilt with only 9 miles on it! the dealer did not inform me of this as it was driven off the showroom floor. what is my next course of action thanks. 1 800 lemon law possible fraud. contact -in writing- your state attorney generals office. repeat in writing. this goes for the dealership. speak personally to no one. if you have a grievance put it in writing. a private attorney specializing in -civil- law can pursue this for you and likely will achieve faster results but they will also charge you a substantial fee likely a couple thousand bucks. yes you can also sue to recover your legal fees but ill tell you right now youre not likely to collect because the dealer will want to settle out of court. - and youd be a fool not to settle. no one but the attorneys win in court. so make up your mind what form of relief youre seeking your options include a refund minus approx 35 a mile for every mile youve put on it and minus a damage allowance if you have 1 put any damage whatsoever on the exterior

3 smoked in it you could also ask for a replacement vehicle. however once again the dealer is entitled to recover 35 a mile for every mile youve put on the first one and hes entitled to get his vehicle back in the same physical condition exterior and interior that it was in when you took delivery of it. beware that at 35 a mile you are looking at a $2065 mileage deduction so id be careful about storming into the dealership and banging your fists on someones desk. you have rights but you also have obligations. if youve smoked in it thats likely to cost you at least another $500 off the value. they are not going to give you another brand new truck straight up in exchange for one that has 5900 miles on it. that is not going to happen in your lifetime. your best option is to request a negotiated settlement and/or perhaps enhanced value. for example if you did not purchase their best extended warranty i would insist on them giving it to you at no charge. but first let them know -in writing- that you feel that you were deceived. dont call anyone; dont talk to anyone; put it in writing. . 222 306442 wyqdnq5uyszindrervn-vw@comcast.com i stopped by the dealership and bought all of the fluids and parts i would need to service the truck myself. i asked the service manager for torque specs on the tranny pan bolts and the diff bolts. he said aw hell just snugem up. that kind of thinking is the reason i am doing this myself in the first place. a couple of questions what do i torque the diff bolts to what do i torque the tranny bolts to note i bought a new gasket and i dont to just snugem up. i want to do it right. the parts guy said i needed friction modifier in the rear diff but not the front diff. but he personally recommended using it in the front diff. so i bought two bottles. is it going to harm anything to use friction modifier in the front diff heres what i got feel free to point out errors 6 qts mopar 75-140 synthetic gear lube 9 qts mopar atf+4 tranny fluid for tranny and transfer case tranny gasket 2 bottles of friction modifier tranny filter rtf for diffs grand total $235.00. gd! that gear lube is pricey ... $20 per qt. craig c. craig im pretty sure youre in dallas maybe youd like to come visit our club tomorrow http//www.bigddodgedieselclub.com/calendar.htm the group meets at bics coffee shop at the corner of keller springs and midway road in dallas tx. west side of addison airport and north of beltline rd. the address is 2245 midway road. meetings are at 900 am on the 2nd saturday of the month. .
