update: when i took the truck in for recalls, i had them do a pressure test. this revealed a leak in the water pump, from the weep hole. the dealership quoted $320 to replace the water pump. not a bad price, so i brought the truck down to them for the job. when i call to ask about it, the...

got a notice in the mail that the truck has a recall 09S09, Speed Control Deactivation Switch Fire. so i figure when I bring it to the dealer to fix that, I will ask them to do ONLY a pressure test and quote me a price on the job to fix whatever that reveals. then i will take the car and do...

I am in Woodford, Vermont. Southern Vermont, about 100 miles from Glastonbury, CT, the town I grew up in. I live in the Green Mountain National Forest, and love all 5 seasons - summer, fall, winter, MUD and spring! Winter takes the cake - I teach snowboarding at Mount Snow as my main job...

night has fallen, but thank you to everyone for the starting points and advice. Bill, i was hoping initially and am still hoping it is as simple as really old hoses and clamps, or water pump. i am up at my cabin in VT for the summer, and don't have jacks and jackstands so a good diagnosis and...

thanks for the input 1998Exp still tough to see much, but here is a better picture. with proper orientation. took this laying under the truck. things i saw in coolant topics: - intake manifold (known to crack, but no coolant when looking under hood) - head gasket (no white smoke, no sounds...

just found this: (MOOG K8710T) : Carrier w/replaceable/greasable ball joint Note: this part is discontinued and may not be available. The entire 2-piece PS UCA assembly can be replaced by the 1-piece K80068. So, I guess that answers my question, I can use either. I need to make these repairs...

is this the 1-piece passenger side UCA? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C5608O/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER model number K8708T (as opposed to K8710T)

on my estimate from my mechanic it said I need "upper control arm RIGHT w/BALL JOINT - ENH DESIGN" K8710T in this write-up, you use a part which I believe to be Moog K80068 http://www.amazon.com/Moog-K80068-Front-Upper-Control/dp/B000C57Z42/ref=pd_sim_auto_3 my search leads me to...
