    vavle gasket, how much, how hard

    I had to change the push rod in my 96. It was not hard how ever it is tricky. If you are not machanichal inclined then I sugest that you get a friend to help. The gasket was about ten bucks. If you want it to go easy get you a air intake gasket ( lower) that way it doesnt take as long!

    Yes there is a sensor. There are four sensors on the truck. One at each wheel. If you have a 1999 you should still have a factory warranty. If under 36000 miles. If you do have a warranty then take it to the shop and they will fix it. If under the factory warranty you pay nothing. If under a...
