Re: Steering shaft Anything available? Can it be picked up in person as I am local to the Denver area. Thanks

Well the ground tested bad as well So I jumpered the ground wire and guess what We have spark!! Left the wire there to test again Today and it works like a champ So the moral of the story is that the Strong Arm gas shocks are junk when it comes to electrical conductivity. They are great to...

OK....so now I'm stumped. The jumper wire gives power to the entire grid so I assumed it would work on my last post....WRONG. Tested it this morning driving into work and it still doesn't work. Not talking hard core ice or snow here....just lightly fogged and it didn't even touch it? So what...

Resistance was very low, practically unmeasurable so I guess that tests good. I made a jumper wire to go from the top clip to the bottom clip and the defroster works fine so it has to be the shock. It is a "Strong Arm" shock from Napa. GM lists the driver side and passenger side as a different...

After more research it seems like the passenger side should not have power, only the driver's side as someone suggested. So I checked it a little further and found no power at the bottom clip where it actually attaches to the window. The only thing that could be is the new window shock? Could...

All the connections are solder and appear to be solid This was working prior to replacing the shocks...could the new ones be bad? The passenger side is the ground? I will check the voltage after the shock on the the driver side and resistence to ground on the passenger side tomorrow. What is...

I needed to replace both of the rear window gas shocks so I did. The bad news is that now my rear defroster doesn't work. I know the obvious thing would be that the shocks are somehow bad since the current runs through them from the way it appears. However, that not the issue and it seems like...

I have had good luck with my TE-44. It is a nice garrett upgrade with an internal WG like you want. It also worked well with the stock converter if I remember correctly. Anything bigger and you need more converter for sure I believe. The 44 is borderline, but certainly workable. Noticeably more...

Congrats on #27 man...............try and be good tonight :D

Not that unit conversions are any big secret or hard, but I could help with that set-up if needed. Just some simple formulas for Kpa to PSI.......centigrade to farenheit.......MPH to feet/sec is a cool one.......... and the reverses...........stuff like that.

Anybody have any picts on Al's tie rods?? I saw one somewhere and now can't find it? I remember they were sweet looking and not much more expensive than a new Moog set up would be. Like $200 or $225 ???? TIA

They had no detonation issues apparently from what they said ................just plain failures.

Will......... The G-Forces I have were $94/tire after some dealing with Discount tire. I told them Tirerack had them for $95 (which they did at the time) and they beat the price. :D I think they are like $105 each now days

Hey Mike, I had always told myself I would go with the JEs when I needed a rebuild even though they are double the cost of the TRWs. But.....talking with some of the GN guys they said they have heard of multiple failures with the JEs under high boost. Something to the effect that they try and...

Running the BFG G-force KDWS..............like them a lot :D
