Hey guys I'm selling the running boards off my '97 LX. Putting sliders on so these need to come off. They have some scratches which you can see in the pictures and have the use you'd expect from a 22 year old vehicle with 235k miles but they still look great and perfect for anyone that wants the...
Thanks for the reply Dave. So you think there may be too much grease? I replaced the rear drive shaft but maybe I did put too much. How much should it put? I will try to drive around with one shaft to see if I can narrow down the problem. Do you think that the hand brake could be the problem...
Going along with what I said earlier, I can completely avoid this dragging/vibrations from happening if I just take off slowly from a stop or drive in 2nd start. I already drive it like it's a tractor so that's why it doesn't happen often. I'm just worried that it's going to get worse until it...
Just an update. I changed the rear drive shaft (and therefore the u-joints). The vibrations went away for about a week and now they're back. I haven't gotten around to changing the u-joints for the front drive shaft yet. I think a better way of describing these vibrations would be to say that it...
Hey guys,
I started another thread on my truck vibrating on acceleration but going away around 15 to 20 mph. Anyways, one of the guys recommended I take a look at the mounts for the engine and transmission. While I was taking a look, I noticed a hole in the bell housing. I also saw some oil...
Thanks for the advice on checking the u-joints and explaining why it might be the parking brake or viscous coupler in the center diff guys. I'll see if there is anything wrong with them tomorrow.
I'll look into the hand brake as well. Usually the hand brake doesn't do much. It can barely stop the truck from idling forward and is completely useless in low gear. Could it really be causing the vibrations?
The u-joints have never been replaced. I've heard they should last at least 200k miles but I'm pretty close to that so I may change them. I gave everything a good shake and couldn't find anything loose. As far as mounts go, I'll look into that. I'm just wondering why it never happens in reverse...
Hey guys,
I've got 193k on the truck. Recently it has started vibrating on acceleration. It almost feels like the tires are dragging something. It also feels like it's coming from the rear. It only happens when it first starts accelerating and goes away at about 15-20 mph. Also, it never...
Same symptoms in mine too. Adjusted the LSPV (truck is lifted) and immediately noticed an improvement. However, i am still going to replace the booster as i sometime hear a hiss, especially when starting the truck, cold. I take this hiss as an air leak (small) when the engine is cold....a...
I tried the same thing with the e-brake in drive and an the pedal depressed like when it's in park. I'm getting a new master brake cylinder. Hopefully that will stop the problem. I'll get back to you guys.
Hey guys I've been having some problems with my brakes and I can't figure out the problem. Basically the brakes don't hold pressure when the truck is in park or neutral. I pump them to build pressure but the pedal slowly depresses over time which suggests that there is a leak. However, this...
I know this is an old thread but I'm installing the winch right now. Do I need to use a different Fairlead? I can bolt it on to the bumper but it looks like the cable would rub against the bottom of the opening in the bumper.
