    Tie Down Engineering Master Cylinder for Tracker

    I have a 2009 Tahoe Q8i on a 2008 Trailstar trailer. The master cylinder is Tie Down Engineering LP7000. It leaks, and is empty. I need to replace it, but need to make sure I get the right part. Tie Down Engineering is closed for the holidays and I need to order this part ASAP. Long story...

    Lubing retracting safety cables

    :confused: My trailer has retracting safety cables. When new, they were tough to move, as they already started to rust. I should have had them replaced by the dealer right then and there. But, I didn't. Now they are rusted in place. Luckily they are out so I can hook them up. I'll replace...

    2005 Merc 4.3 won't idle

    Mercruiser 4.3 Alpha one, TKS (lucky me :( ) won't idle. I can start it and run the throttle to keep it running, but it won't idle. And if I get the RPMs up to 2,000 (not in gear) I have to keep them there, or it revs back down and dies. I have to keep jockeying the throttle to keep it...

    Exhaust gasket or head gasket?

    My '05 4.3 Alpha one has an exhaust leak. It might be from when I had to remove the exhaust manifold when I had to lube my starter connectors. Would an exhaust leak on these cause a rough idle? Or would it be a head gasket? How can I check where the leak is coming from? Are there any simple...

    mercruiser overheating

    I have a 2005 Tahoe Q4. it has a carbed 4.3 Mercruiser Alpha 1. I put it in the lake on Friday and it overheated. The dealer Said it is probably the water pump impellar in the out drive. They also Said it should be replaced every year or two. If that is true, why don't I see more written...
