    Latest issue< front end shake(side to side)

    well, to be fair, if the toe was out an extreme amount, like several inches and it was really obvious that the tires were aimed in different directions, then the tire with the most traction would pull that way. but in reality if it is just tire wear issue then no 'pull'. toe out will cause...

    Latest issue< front end shake(side to side)

    sorry to disagree, toe is the only adjustment and it won't cause pulling, just tire wear. like I said before, you just need a tape measure and 2 screws to check it. did you check for a flap in the tire? yours sounds like a classic case.

    5TH Gear Missing Teeth, Looking For A New Transmission

    both syncros are on the mainshaft which can never turn faster than the drive shaft, so i doubt anything other than just an old trans failing. chain reaction destruction sometimes follows.

    Latest issue< front end shake(side to side)

    the out of balance would have to be extreme to cause wobble, up to 16 oz out there is no point balanceing them, a flap is several pounds and over 40 will cause the tire to almost leave the road. jack up the front and remove the hub drive plates to see if one or both have a heavy spot.

    correct procedure for wheel stud removal

    the studs are very small for the size of the truck and very easy to strip if you use an impact gun and are inexperianced or just plain stupid like the "mechanics" at one of the big truck tire places here in MD

    Latest issue< front end shake(side to side)

    toe in is as simple as a tape measure, mark a line or put a small screw in the tire (really) and measure front and then roll it back and measure there. i seriously doubt that toe would cause shake, are you positive that the flaps were removed from the tire before mounting? that is almost a...

    5TH Gear Missing Teeth, Looking For A New Transmission

    we just wanted to know what 'car' it may have come in. I already know all I need to know about what its original usages were, but a 30 series GM product is not a 'car', nor is an IHC school bus, etc.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    so you are talking about a system with a ram on the drag link or tie rod?

    Hydraulic Assit Steering- Another Idea Never Attempted

    that would not be a problem, it would be an advantage since it would make it steer faster and you no longer need the mechanical advantage.

    Hydraulic Assit Steering- Another Idea Never Attempted

    just sarcasm! the first power steering I built was in 1997 and used a 710, the only box I have ever found that will just barely fit on the outside of the frame. I know the hf54 has been used quite a bit, but I have never been a fan because of the linear control valve. very old school, everything...

    Hydraulic Assit Steering- Another Idea Never Attempted

    then it would not be a torque generator, it would be a control valve. there used to be a steering box that looked exactly like the stock one but had a valve with 4 ports on it right at the top of the box. I have only ever seen one and it was NOS, don't know what it was made to fit, but it was at...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    could you explain how this makes steering easier? when you turn the steering wheel with the same relative effort, what makes the tires turn?

    Power Steering Possibility?

    I will sell you as many rebuilt 710 boxes as you want for $600, with shipping included and no core.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    there was someone on SS a while back that was going to make power steering kits and sell them for around $600. what ever happened to him?

    really? what cars did they come in?

    Hydraulic Assit Steering- Another Idea Never Attempted

    yes, you must be right, my time and investment of over $40,000 is just not worth anything! perhaps someone will just give you one.
