Ramcharger Headers touching starter

From : redhornet

Q: i replaced the booster unit and am bleeding out the system but have never done a truck with rwal before 97 dakota. when i got to the left rear an ounce or two of fluid came out using a mityvac vac pump...not pedal pushing...then nothing. according to the shop manual the little ball bleed valve on the end of the rwal valve do not need to be open when using a vacuum method. so whats the problem do i need to bleed the combo valve and the rwal valve and if so can that be done with a mityvac dont have someone around to pump the brake pedal. i did not bench bleed the master cylinder before putting back onto the new booster. any advice would be appreciated. thanks guys! gary .

on mon 25 dec 2006 093244 -0500 roy roy@home.net wrote i need a tire recommendation. two winters ago i was tooling around amarillo in a dodge dakota with bridgestone dueler a/ts. they had no problems handling the conditions i routinely faced there. last winter i had just bought a cummins 2500 4x4 ram and was immediately called up out of the reserves to go to iraq. now im back and discovered this winter that the current set of factory tires wil be inadequate for the conditions i face there this year. first hint of ice and the truck turns into an ice skate. i understand this happens to any vehicle on ice but some tires offer a little better grip then others. with that in mind id like to toss out my working conditions and see what some of you are using and recommending for winter conditions on your 2500/3500 rams. i am the manager at a wind power plant outside amarillo. in the winter we get lots of rain and our site roads are dirt/caliche which can get very soft. i also need to deal with snow and more importantly ice; because amarillo frequently gets ice storms. i guess you named 4 different conditions. the only tire that will come close to dealing with all is the blizzak imo. they are the best one ice and snowthe most dangerous of your conditions given the sticky compound of the rubber and sipeing of the tread. they are good in rain and on dry. the only knock on them is they are a dedicated tire. when it is warm out you have to take them off as you will burn the tread off of them. like everything else it is a compromise. roy thanks everyone. normally i would go roys route and have a dedicated snow tire. i used to run studded snow tires years ago and loved how they gripped. this year sotrage space concerns will prevent me from getting a dedicted pair of snow tires. ill look at the recommendations tossed out here. thank you everyone. jay posted via usenet.com premium usenet group services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** speed ** retention ** completion ** anonymity ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http//www.usenet.com .
