    Ball joints

    I believe they are pressed. I need to get my lower ball joints and upper arms done very soon too.

    Strutmasters

    I wanna give good feedback re: Strutmasters. Their website is strutmasters.com. My wife's truck with rear airbags has had problems lately. The compressor was getting loud and there seemed to be a leak in one or both of the bags. Strutmasters has good prices on all their parts, whether they...

    Strange Sound On Start-Up....

    That's normal. I don't know specifically what it is, but I think GRIP may be right.

    Update on air susp problems

    It's a thought. We don't do any heavy duty towing to really need the air bags. Thanks for the link.

    Update on air susp problems

    My wife's 2000 EB with rear bags has been acting up. The air compressor has been louder and has also been coming on more frequently especially when driving. Occasionally, while at rest, the bags will deflate fairly low and even sometimes uneven side to side. Today, I pulled out the...

    Won't start after running for a while...

    You can actually clean the IAC valve...much cheaper. Just remove the valve (on the back of the engine block) and spray it down the chemtool or whatever and let it sit overnight to dry. Make sure the valve actuates freely.

    rear dragging

    I'm gonna piggy-back on this thread with a similar issue. I have the same sagging going on with our '00 EB. Overnight or if it's been a while since driving, sometimes the rear is all the way down. One other thing I noticed is that the compressor seems to kick on more often (when driving)...

    My 3rd mod: Landing lights

    I wouldn't worry too much about the air flow. These trucks have plenty to spare, IMO. When I had my Thunderbird, I had way over half of my radiator blocked by a tranny cooler, among other things...It did just fine. I think you'll be just fine.
