so I've done a bunch of research on this and I'm pretty much screwed right? reverse on the aw4 is purely mechanical with no electronic influence so there's no potential quick fix =( all forward gears work great, reverse slips bad with anything more than barely cracking the throttle. replaced...

have you actually done this 2 bucket method yourself? i'm guessing no because the trans pumps fluid through the cooler and back into the trans, there's no suction involved

not gonna work, the return line doesn't produce suction like that

pull the belt off and check for seized accessories

ddm tuning :cheers: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HID-Kit-Slim-Ballast-35W-or-55W looks like they discontinued the cheaper raptor ballasts though :tear:

got 3 500ff's converted to 55w hid on the stock front bumper and very happy with the light output and bang for the buck.

indeed lol

gen III chevy is going to be the best bang for your buck motor wise, for $500 in the junk yard you can get a low mile 5.3... factory roller, aluminum heads, 300+ hp etc. as far as easiest to fit under the hood, ford 5.0 is tiny compared to a gen III

those look like bad ass springs, but the smallest they have is 4"... I don't want the typical stinkbug xj lift haha. I was thinking about the HD OME 2" springs but everyone says those give you close to 4" of lift :dunno:

I've been very happy with rusty's 4.5" front springs and 3/4" shackles... now I just need to do something with the rear springs so the ass end can keep up with the front

even a stock NON-HO 4.0 (87-90) has more power than a 4.2
