Hi all,

After intalling my new wires ATR Black Beauties from RKustom(Thanx Rick, GREAT service) I went for a testdrive, got into boost, drove for maybe an hour and I started feeling something beneath my feet slightly hitting(not actually "hitting" but you could feel it everytime i pushed the throttle, but when i let off the gas you couldn't feel it anymore) well I got a little worried and headed back home and the truck felt like if it was having a harder time accelerating. When I got home I got under the truck with a flashlight and saw some kind of oil that from the position it was and where it was i could only think that was spilled from the driveshaft while it was rotating:cry: I twisted it and it was really firm. Then I had to put the truck in the garage and drove it around the corner to recheck it, but i couldn't feel it anymore... Has somebody had a similar experience???

thanx

P.S. the truck is running pretty strong and idles great since the new wires form RK

Ok now it just came to my mind this idea...
Since I've had the truck it had a powersteering leak and today when i went to testdrive I think the powersteering pump died and it was leaking alot( i ran out of fluid in about 2 hours) could this be powersteering fluid???

I'll check tomorow. I would like to know what should I check to see if I have a healthy propshaft. Thanx
