2nd Gen coolant leak...suggestions welcome
stroker ace replied to Hulk's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Sure looks like the plugs in my opinion. They are easy to change not sure if anyone has a good price on them. I think they are usually around $5.50 each. -
Running a radial front and bias rear?
stroker ace replied to Wanaberidin's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
My Raider come from the factory that way, radial on rear bias front. My venture and vmax are mixed as well. -

You would be fine the Metzler ME880 in a bias ply tire though. -

Miles, Glad to see your getting better even better that it's off early. You'll be back to riding wheelies soon!!

Yep another diesel. They are wanting to give me $1300 for mine on trade, I think not. I can get the truck for just a little over $32,000 with my discounts straight out. I tried the F250 gas and the Ram 2500 gas last year, both trucks ran great. The fuel mileage was in the 9-11 range towing. They have diesels also that get close to the same as the chevy but cost me quite a bit more. I think for now I will stay with what I have, it's paid for but I also know the transmission is going to let loose one day eventually. I figure it will go before the engine maybe wrong will see.

I have to agree, we looked back at the first of the year and I got disappointed,disgusted and depressed. I would like to replace the Chevy but not at the prices they want. I tow a 8-12,000 pound trailer 4-6 times a month with 650 mile rounds trips. I've tried several ways and several trucks doing this and a single rear wheel 3/4 to 1 ton pickup works the most economical. I rented a new Tundra to try last weekend with the 5.7 liter 8 mpg loaded, the Chevy gets 16. They want $30,000 plus my old one for a 2013 ouch.

Yes I bought it new it had 8/10th's of a mile when I got it. It still looks good ( paint getting worn ) and still solid a few rattles but nothing like the truck before it. I had a 1990 Dodge Cummings 4x4 that I bought used with 30,000 miles on it. It had a little over 800,000 miles when I basically gave it away on trade in but it was wore out and I didn't want anyone I knew buying it.

I have a 2000 silverado 2500hd duramax work truck with a little over 510,000 miles, other than normal maintenance. It has had 1 alternator and the front hub assemblies replaced. I've been impressed with it so far, it gets worked usually always pulling a trailer. My daily drivers a 89 honda with 410,000 and a 02 subaru wrx with 170,000.

93,587 miles and climbing no slips or whines using it 03 Venture.

I use the 5w40 T6 the only way it comes that I know of. The T6 usually runs about $23 or so around here at Walmart.
-
I use the Rotella T6 full synthetic, I know others that run the dino-oil. I don't like the mail-in rebate thing but it makes it $18 gallon for full synthetic decent deal around here anyway.

I'm not sure to be honest. The Valkyrie I had came with a trailer and had this type wiring on it. I never checked to see if it worked assumed it did. I sold the trailer and things related the day I bought it.

All kidding aside it looks really good and with it back on the bike will look even better. :bighug:Agreed it is a lot of work prepping for paint work then putting it all back. I had a bike painted a few years back was supposed to be racing green turned out mint green was not that happy but looked great when everything back on the bike.

More than likely it's the front differential actuator, especially if the drive shaft is spinning. The axle is not check the vacuum to this or replace. http://www.1aauto.com/1A/4WDrive/Chevy/S10-Blazer/1AFWA00002/152059/1996?utm_campaign=gb_api_br&year=1996&utm_medium=comparisonshopping&utm_source=google_base&utm_content=FWA&gclid=CI6Rka3OhrUCFQq0nQodNWcAYw http://static.1aautoimages.com/partphoto/FWA/1AFWA00002/middle_2.JPG
