What is the part called that connects the lower radiator hose to water pump? I have a 1999 2.5l that I was flushing coolant and changing thermostat on at home. I accidentally removed that lower piece that connects to the water pump and tried to reinstall it, but now it started leaking almost as...

That all makes sense, you've definitely given me a lot more to think about. I also like the idea of an electric power steering pump just so it doesn't sound like a pig being murdered each time I turn the wheel when pulling out of the garage lol

I am curious if anyone has tried an underdrive pulley setup on the 2.5l engine? I have been searching through the forums but I have not found anything specific to the engine. Esslinger Engineering produces one that I think would work, but it is $75 right now. So if there are alternatives that...

Nothing like a good forum discussion, I wonder how this turned out. :p

It sounds like maybe the axle was swapped at some point then? Is it an 8.8 inch still?

What kind of wheels/tires did you get? They look good!

It was just a thought...was mostly interested whether anyone had attempted themselves or not. I probably will be taking tires to the shop in the future.

Yeah, I saw that price and was like no way. I’ll be looking into their products too. I didn’t realize that they had some generic products. I need to get some measurements on the old weatherstrip

Found it on EBay

I am having the same issues. I am trying to find a good replacement that doesn’t cost a lot. This is the best I’ve found...

Welcome aboard and good luck with that!

The look I want (please ignore my poor photoshop skills lol)

That's funny you should say that. I actually grew up even closer to Wisconsin in the small town of Orangeville, about 2 miles from the state line, and worked in Wisconsin while going to school. Too many Packer fans up there for me, but it's a nice state!

We live about 7 miles north of Sterling

Hey all, I've been a member on the forum since February but I have never properly introduced myself. This is my forever-a-project truck lol. I also wanted to say thank you to all those who have helped with answering some of my questions along the way. I bought this 1999 XLT, 5 speed manual for...

I was just curious if anyone on here balances their own wheels themselves using a portable wheel balancer, similar to what you could buy at Harbor Freight. I am planning to get some new steel wheels soon and was considering doing it myself. I realize that having it done with dynamic balancing...

Yeah I understand, I appreciate you trying to help though.
