I need to replace the drivers side right arm rest in my 95, is this a technical process, or even possible. All the support in it is gone after many years of being a loyal companion. I assume I can get a replacement online or at a junkyard, but would rather not have to replace the whole seat, which is still in great condition and very comfortable. Open to any suggestions.

so nobody has ever replaced a worn out arm rest? Interesting.

apparently us 2 door boys spend more time with our arm rests! what year is your truck? how many miles? Done anything to clean your intake, I'm contemplating do some serious cleaning of the fuel system, crankcase, and especially the TBI. any experience in that area?

its a 95, JUST clicked 139,xxx today :( havent touched the top end of the truck, runs like a champ, but i would suggest using seafoam for the top end cleaning http://www.trackdogracing.com/website/product_photos/seafoam_s.jpg herd nothing but good things about that stuff, as for fuel system i just add some fuel system cleaner at every tune up, im not sure of the brand, its just some stuff my buddys have at their shop,

im going to be doing some headers in a week or so, going with the Elelbrock TES system, ever hear anything about them? good, bad? pain in the ass? any other header / y-pipe kit you suggest? let me hear it now before i buy them haha

i havent heard anything bad about them, actually looked into putting some headers on a while back. I had a little hometown shop custom fab true duals for me (they actually removed my Cat, which I now know is not a good thing) and they welded in a piece to connect both pipes so that the O2 sensor could read off of both banks. I ran two mufflers and it sounded great, good deep sound without being too loud. I think if I would have added headers to it, would have gotten a little more power ot of it.
When you do your seafoam, how do you get it in the enginge? brake booster, or PCV, or other? Bought a can yesterday, putting it in the gas tank today.
I am trying to regain my lost power, wish mine ran like you say yours does. I put some NBS chrome wheels, and some larger tires but I don't think these two account for power loss that I feel. I just remember my truck having more power so I think that a good cleaning is in order, may replace PCV and EGR too, think that'll help? about to check out the link for the armrests.

good choice, I looked at those but got a better price on the Bridgestone Dueler Revos in the same size. put 50K on my first set of Bridgestone A/Ts, figured that was worth getting another set.

yea, the BFG's arent the cheapest tires, but they are definitly worth every penny IMO
