    Cylinder No. 4 Misfire

    No, it was a 4.7 Chevy Vortec, Chevy Astro Van, douche. The Fort LTD, it was a Police Interceptor, think what you want, it was the fastest thing I have owned to date. Too much power... Had to get rid if it... The MERCURY Cougar was a V6, 3.6 Litre V6, yeah, not 3.8. I typed a little fast...

    Cylinder No. 4 Misfire

    Especially their older 4-Cylinder motors, like from a 1994 Sundance & counterparts. They sound like diesel motors with all that clattering.

    steering geometry

    Right, jeep calls it "Uniframe". Did you measure the movement to see how far down it dropped, from wat it would look like sitting on the level on the pavement? Since that is maxed at it's downward swing - the Strut is the stop point right? It can go down about another inch, if the strut...

    steering geometry

    If the suspension allows for 8" of travel, then it would make it past 6" by what ya said? Well, I guess they are just tie-rods? I see a 6" ROD there from the rack, where the tie-rod end connects (threads on) to; so what is it called, if not inner tie-rod, just tie-rod? That's what I meant, I...

    steering geometry

    Tie rod ends are tie rod ends, for the most part. Maybe you could ADAPT a set from another 4x4, as long as it threads into the inner tie, and bolts up at the ball joint. The problem is, finding a compatible one, that has the angle you want. Another idea would be to extend the ball-joint...

    steering geometry

    You can only correct the Camber with the bottom lower control arm adjusting nuts (if the KK has the adjustment). You can't adjust the angles of the tie-rod ends, or inners. You simply get a steeper downard angle with a lift. The front end already allows for about 8" of travel (SLA independent...

    ARB SAFARI SNORKEL Interested ?

    With the OEM air-box, you have to be in up to where the grille meets the hood before water gets into the intake. By that time, usually, you're floating anyway. They say it only takes 2-feet of water, moving, to cause your vehicle to follow the current. So, if you get into 3-feet of water, and...

    ARB SAFARI SNORKEL Interested ?

    It's not BAD, but I don't really like it either. It looks a little odd/gaudy because it's too LONG at the fender. It could be routed back a lot farther, directly routed to the TB, using a filter housing at the TOP of that snorkel, rather than using the stock one when tied in to the air-box. I...

    3.7L making a loud his

    Ha, If you hiss when you fart you have problems? Huh? Apparently you don't listen to the Howard Stern show, AT ALL. No, you don't have a problem if you hiss when you fart, who told you that? PLUS, you have also NEVER heard any of my three boys, when they want to pass a hisser, or the dog for...

    Upper Strut Bushings

    Don't they go in the engine compartment, under the nut & washer at the top of the strut tower?

    Cylinder No. 4 Misfire

    At idle, the engine RPMs are, say even 600 average. That popping noise happening once every 5 seconds? Well, the crank has already rotated about 5 times at 600RPM for five seconds. If it were a popping noise due to an open or partially valve on the compression stroke, it would happen about...

    What does everybody pay for their fuel

    $2.69 a gallon here, but, with up to 10% Ethanol. I get better gas mileage with gas without Ethanol. Took a trip to Missouri in August, and could see the difference in has bought in states that don't have Ethanol in it.

    Manual hubs?

    You are driving a 2-ton+ brick. It isn't like it's aerodynamic at all. The Rear wheel drives get slightly better mileage because they don't have the weight, but, that's probably like a 500lb difference? You lose about one MPG per 200lbs of weight. The engine is a 4.7 V8 block, with six...

    What can I do to beef up my electrical system?

    You would have to add another battery with an Isolator, or other set up (which is in the how-to section) and run lights off that separately. The charging amps and voltage to the battery are controlled by the ECM, says the experts here. SO, putting in a higher output alternator won't help...

    Rim Question:

    5x114.3 is known as the "Bolt Pattern." Dodge and Ford Trucks also use that pattern, that's what my Ford Van was, and my Dodge Avenger.

    Transfer case's strength

    It has been that way for a while, and Ford uses the same deal, I think most transfer-cases have those digit meanings. The second number is more like a DUTY indication number, which is kind of the strength of the case, but the correct terminology is DUTY. It's also here...
