    '02 S/T 2wd Moog UPPER Ball Joint Boots torn

    I quick read thru the various posts about the damaged Moog ball Joint boots and how members here have searched and in some cases found replacement boots. However, many of the posts are somewhat dated. Does anyone have a current vendor (non-MOOG) and p/n for the Upper MOOG Ball Joint Boots...

    Transmission valve control question

    Seems if the fuse is "blowing" there is a short somewhere. Have you disconnected the wiring and then installed a new fuse? If the fuse "blows" I would think the wiring is a problem. If the fuse doesn't "blow" then the problem is something else.
