    my power steering pump is making noises and im pretty sure its goin out and i dont know what ratio it is but if i have a free pump from anouther motor and the ratio is 12 to 1 will it still work? does anyone know how to find out my ratio
  2. from what i heard and understand once you go to synthetic oil it is not good to change back to regular oil because it can burn your valves but i do not know but i asked a mechanic at the local repir shop and that is what they told me

    what is the diffrences if it flashes or it stays on for the first time today my check engine light flashed like 2 min then it went off and came back on but it did something and now my truck seems faster i know the light stays on because i have no o2 sensors hooked up so it goes to safe fuel mode but y would it flash all the sudden?

    what is the best way to rebuild a 305 with more horse power the motor now has 170000 miles on it and when i hit the gas the oil pressure drops instead of getting higher and i want more horsepower i have a 96 k1500 z71 and i do often play in the mud i have the stock transmission but i have 4.10 gears in the rear if i upgraded to a crate 350 would i have to convert to a carb or could i still use my fuel injection what should i do build the 305 or get a 350 crate motor
