My pickup is a short wide bed 2WD, has the 3.73 gears with the tow package. Has the 4 speed automatic. Has AC, PS, PB, AM/FM/CD radio. No electric windows, locks or seats.
It runs like a scalded dog!!! I'm not a novice as to what a well performing vehicle performs like. My buddy ran it down the track once, it went like a 15.80. That may not be a hot rod car number, but ain't bad for a pickup.
Thanks, Again!!!  |
I don't know what percentage of them fail , but not all of them fail . If you do get another set be sure to have them pressure tested . Just looking at them can not detect a small crack or leak . If it were me I would look for the 862 first . If you can not find them have the 706 checked out before you set them in the corner of the shop for 2 years and when its time to use them you find out there are no good .
