Traction Control is an adaptation of the ABS. If it senses a wheel with a different rotation speed than the other wheels, it will apply the brake on that wheel. Traction Control senses the faster wheel speed to apply the brake to that "fast" wheel. If your ABS "was a bit strange" without...

Jay, does your truck have traction control or ABS? If not, then don't be concerned. You won't have the problem.

What is your tire pressure? 20 psi? 25 psi? 30 psi?

You should go ahead with the replacement of the "spark plug wire set". Perhaps the spark is weak, leading to a slower burn in the cylinders creating a softer bang with a slow wave front, so less push on the piston.

Assuming that is true, then it is very likely not the throw out bearing making the noise. Frankly, I don't think anyone on this forum, or any forum have the skills to give you the assistance you need or crave. Plus diagnosing your problem scattered throughout multiple posts is nearly...

I would think its about time for your learning to begin by watching those "tools + aids" you keep referencing. I have said before, not sure which thread of the numerous conflated threads, the bearing MUST have a press fit on the rotating part with a slip fit in the stationary part. This is...

Is this the bearing that was installed on the worn out, wallowed out input shaft? If so, was the shaft replaced? If not, then no surprise the bearing is shot already. Good luck

Normally, a ball bearing has a press fit on either the inner race (shaft) or on the outer race (bore), NOT both. I do have a question 'bout Jay's Gen 2. Is the same guy handling the maintenance on the Gen 2 as on the golden Gen1?? Might be a common denominator here. FWIW, my Gem2 is pushing...

Sooooo................how was the nap???

Have you considered rolling up the windows and turning radio volume up a bit??? A bit of reality. You have an old truck with many, many, many miles with delayed maintenance. As with all mechanical things, they age, they get rattles, vibrations, worn out parts, loose fasteners, hard...

Sorry, I could only add to the joker comment. But I can not disagree with the joker. Frankly, I think most of your trouble with the Gen 1 is self-induced or imagined. I haven't decided if you're actually this naive, looking for sympathy or just lonely hunting for attention.

nah.....don't need his permission for anything.

Can we call you Mr. Thunderthighs???

South Carolina has made that modification illegal with increasing penalties for repeats. Eventually, losing the vehicle. I had a 2" squat in the rear with 1200 lbs of masonry debris.

Bull. I'm 5'9'', never have problems with headroom in my Gem2. I will occasionally bump my head on the WeatherTech window vent. Had an '07 Corolla for many years.....never an issue with space or headroom or getting in/out. You might consider bending at the waist.............

You gotta spend more than $30/oz.

The best most comfortable ride I owned was a 1971 Buick Electra 225. 455 cu in, 25 gallon fuel tank, all the luxuries.......my college ride. It made many long distance 1 day hauls from Ames, IA to San Antonio, TX. Stops for fuel, food and relief. It had over a 400 mile range and would cruise...

It likely is not the Throw-out bearing. You've got another worn out part Yelling to get out of the truck.

Agreed. When I'm buying from a dealer that means I've exhausted all other options.

Yes, that will help too. Kinda takes the wind out of your brag sails......don't it.
