| mini Truck Parts May 2004 bolt In Crossmember
Lay It OutNow you can lay your '98-'03 S-10 or Sonoma on the ground with your air system; no more teeter-tottering on that factory defect of a carrier-bearing crossmember that hangs below the frame. This bolt-in crossmember is an easy alternative to cutting and rebuilding your factory carrier-bearing crossmember. It also raises your carrier bearing, assisting in its realignment for a lowered stance to eliminate driveline chatter and undo wear and tear.

Cheap InsuranceStewart Development has created a product that provides cheap insurance in engine monitoring and can reveal a problem before major damage is done to your engine. EngineChek is a fine-mesh stainless-steel screen that fits loosely inside the gasket on your oil filter. It's designed to catch any debris that's suspended in your oil before it disappears inside the filter, allowing you to check for unusual engine wear without having to cut open your oil filter (as race car teams do). Metal filings may indicate bearing or cam wear (depending on the material); plastic shavings could reveal timing chain guide damage on overhead cam engines; black bits of carbon would expose excessive blow-by; and so on. For more information, contact: Stewart Development, Dept. MT, 6006-B Ballpark Rd., Thomasville, NC 27360, (800) 476-7141, www.enginechek.com.
