Size of Allen For Brake Pad Removal

Q: on sat 12 aug 2006 174128 -0500 greg o wrote call them monday and see what they say. my guess is to adjust the tie rod length from the steering box until the wheel is straight. greg borgeson got back with the owner and told him to file a new flat on the d shaped spine shaft of the steering box. the new flat could then be used to lock down the set screw. the owner opted to take the truck to a front end shop and see if the drag link can adjust far enough to straighten out the wheel. i guess hell return the steering shaft if the mechanic cant adjust it out. .

not really road speed and engine load and load is primarily used and it is calculated by rpm and manifold pressure as this is a measure on engine output against speed/load throttle position play a roll but only realeted to the resulting manifold pressure um no. according to the 2000 fsm inputs to the governor control come from fluid temp tps speed sensor gov pressure sensor pcm gov pressure solenoid valve notice that this list has no map sensor or tach signal. and what exactly is the pcm basing its input on how about engine load and it determins that baced on the map tps and rpm of the engine. when a engine is out of tune it will have a higher manifold pressure lower vacum at a given speed than one that is in good tune so the shift will delay or hang whether it is a dodge chevy or ford. more false info. vacuum is a factor of rpm vs throttle position. state of tune is irrelevant unless mechanical problems are present in the valvetrain. lol you really do like making a fool out of yourself dont you how do you make an out of tune engine deliver the same amount of power how about stepping on the gas a little harder and what happens when you do that answer for a given rpm that means that the throttle is opened more and the vacuum is less. so while you are correct on throttle position in relation to rpm you seem to have no concept on what is can effect it.. and as mentioned earier if it has oversized tires this increases the effort required by a untuned engine as well as a tuned one and it can change shift points as well. correct but the state of tune would have to be drastically degraded to have a change in shift point no something that generally happens overnight. really what if the cap cracks or an injector hangs or fails the regulator in the fuel pump goes bad or a sensor fails. all of these things can happen in an instant. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
