Make sure that you do have adequate fuel pressure. You also want to fix that exhaust leak as soon as possible. With the leak in from of the oxygen sensor is is giving your computer false readings and incorrect amounts of fuel because of it. Until the basics are good you can't find the real...

Your engine should survive with 10 psi at idle. As a general rule you need 10 psi for every 1000 rpm for safe operation. You can also try stepping up your oil viscosity to 10w-40 if you have a higher mileage engine and see what effect it has. May be a very slight mileage penalty for this. Just...

How old are your shocks? I bought a set of exploer pro comp mx-6 adjustables for my 91 and it made a world of difference in the ride quality. MOney well spent in my opinion. You may want to sheck the front end out and make sure that nothing in the steering is worn out(excessive play).

If you say that the howling is only coming from one side of the brakes and they wore faster than the other side did you may want to check a couple of things. Make sure that you don't have a parking brake cable that is hanging up. You should be able to access it underneath easlily. Also make sure...

I run the daystar mounts in my 91. No problem at all with the install. The do transmit some vibes at idle, but only at idle. Nothing annoying just something noticeable. I would recommend them without hesitation. They are now 4 years old and look as good as the day I put them in.

Do the flush on the trans, but with that number of miles on it I would make sure to change the filter as well. You will be amazed at the difference in shift quality afterwards.

it is normally a 3/8" x 16 stud in that hole. Make sure that it is not broken off in there. That is a common problem with them. You can ID the thread pitch for certain by removing one of the nuts on a different stud and using a thread ID set. Again I believe 3/8 x 16. If its metric its either 10...

THere are two sensors. The one on the thermostat housing is for the computer. The that is located on the back of the cylinder head facing up on the drivers side is for the gauge. If your heat is working fine you more than likely have enough antifreeze in it and the thermostat is working. If your...

If you do it spring for the Felpro permadry plus gasket. It is made of neoprene with metal inserts so you don't crush it and also includes plastic studs to install it and keep it in place. Really nice peice to work with.

From my experience as a certified inspection/emissions mechanic I would say that it really is dependent upon the speed at which you are rewuired to run on the rollers. Here, in PA, you are only required to go 15 mph and the difference is negligible. I run the same size tire in a 91XJ with the...

You say that you have replaced the fuel pump multiple times. Just the pump each time? Hopefully they have replaced the fuel filter as well. Also may want to condider replacing the fuel pressure regulator. I believe yours is in the tank on the assembly and may be included if you buy it all at...

If your truck is a few years old and has a few miles on AAL lift may be fine. On an older rig with miles on it a new leaf pack is the way to go. Your stock pack probably has settled/sagged over time. I know mine did. I installed a BDS 3" lift on my truck and got over 4" of lift out of it because...

I can't personaly say how they would react, but most transmission shops have a guy or two that are good at setting up defferentials. My suggestion would be to find a reputable one that is not part of a chain if possible, as they are more able to work with you on what they can and can't do...

Is it leaking from the joints or from the wep hole in the muffler. There is a small hole by design in a lot of mufflers to let condensation out to prolong its life. Nothing to worry about.

I've got a set of glass diamond cut ones off of eBay. Think I paid $40 shipped and they included bulbs. The bulbs lasted 1 year. I have since replaced them with a H4 type 1255 bulb. It has a 85w/100w low/hi beam. This things are amazing. No problems with my wiring and recommend them without...
