I drilled mine out and used ubolts out of a mid 80's F150 front driveshaft. They are a little too narrow for the holes but with a little persuation they go in just fine.
The reason I did this is because I tore up a couple of those junk straps and finally had enough.... I don't know why they...
I have read some oil filter test reviews and I know that some Mopar filters are actually Fram extra guard filters and are a horrible design. I think it was the severe duty one that is the Fram.
Not all Frams are terrible. IIRC the tough guard was rated actually quite well. I gotta try and find...
I don't know if you would want to go this route but it says there are 17 available http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Superior-Axle-Super-88-Axle-System-for-Ford-8-8-Inch_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQitemZ260036131520
Maybe they would sell just the shafts too?
If there was a rather large vaccum leak i'm sure that could cause it to die.
Did the new engine have the intake, throttle body and sensors on it already?
The reason I ask is maybe there is some problems with the sensors on it.

The head bolts can be reused once. If there are paint marks on them don't use them again. It is best to replace them but there should be no problem using them over. Just put some...
I was considering using the same stuff for a tie rod on mine but after thinking about and talking to some metal fabricators I am sure that solid stock will actually bend easier than let's say 1/4"wall 1 1/4" tube. Unless of course you are looking at some higher grade/tool steel then that's a...
I don't want to turn this into a pissing match but where I live in Minnesota there is an ethanol plant 15 miles from me and I've talked to many of the people there and ethanol actually takes 30% MORE energy to produce it than you get from it and then you take how many gallons of water that it...
I just got done swapping the 136 amp alt. in which went well but I had a question on if I would upgrade the main feed wire from the alternator what size fuse should I put in there?
Thanks
Have you adjusted the steering stops at all from stock?
If you are spinning the tires and keeping the steering at full lock that can tend to eat up a joint pretty quickly.
My 91 had the hole in the front of the airbox behind the headlight which is great for getting cooler air into the intake but not so great for water fording... After the second or third time I ingested enough water to kill the motor I blocked that hole off and cut a new one in the rear of the...
