    Starter Motor Average Life Span???

    When it's the vapor recovery fitting, it will leak at the very front of the tank. Where does it leak for the fuel pump cap? When I first noticed the issue (not just a drip or a bit when driving and sloshing, but it flows and the entire front of the tank is wet and leaves a puddle on the...

    Starter Motor Average Life Span???

    I'm also on my original fuel pump, but I believe I've developed the notorious crack in the fuel tank up front where the vapor recovery line connects.

I always run Mobil-1, so when they...

    Wanted - defective blend door actuator

    Hi, With broken blend door actuators being so common, and no hint of replacement gears available, I had an idea to 3D-print a replacement gear. The trouble is, I've already replaced all my bad actuators, and I don't have any to experiment with. If anybody has some bad actuators they'd be...

    Front mount hitch receiver for '03 2WD

    Hi all, I have a 2003 2WD and am looking for a front mount hitch receiver. I have searched forums, checked all the major players (Warn, Ramsey, Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite, Reese, etc.) and it seems that nobody makes an application for the '03 2WD (most don't even offer one for the '03 4WD)...
