Glenn,
Changed out the MC with a '97 350 MC and replaced the RAB and now I have brake pedal like it should have had all along. everything has been replaced except the hard lines. Thanks for the help!

Cool Glenn! I didn't know that about the 97's. I have read about the soft pedal but never had that problem, now I know why lol.

 

just turned 400k and it went to 300

 

I have also been finding trucks with relatively low mileage "300,000-400,000 miles." Does anyone know how to accurately tell a trucks mileage by looking at certain parts or engine wear & tear?

 

only a magic lamp will help, careful what you wish for

 

Unless there's a long running history of oil changes with dates that you can track down from a third party, then it's really a roll of the dice.

But I will say from my experience, there's not much difference in a 300k or 400k motor. If it's taken care of, 500k isn't that big a deal.

The key is figuring out how well it was maintained.

 

How many miles is a 7.3 block for? and how can you tell if one is good or not?
