    I was out wheeling a couple weeks ago...no issues... Last night we got some snow I locked into 4 wheel and there was a bad vibrating noise coming from the front end!

    Jonny joints Or keep poly bushings

    small 2.9 clutch, throw out, and slave in a 2.3L m5od

    I have a clutch, throw out, and slave cyl sitting around with very low miles on it from a 2.9 fm146. I know its not worth the time to put a 8.75" 2.9 clutch behind a 4.0 but how would it hold up behind a 2.3? I drive it pretty hard...but then again it is a four cylinder... I wouldn't normally...

    92 stiff clutch and suddering take off

    I got a 92 2.3 and the clutch is really stiff. I have a 89' with a swap 4L and that clutch is a breeze... I read some posts and I should open the bleeder when depressing the pedal and see if it gets easier, if it does than its in the bell, if not its the master correct? Also when I take off...

    Another 4.0 dual question

    I have a 4 oh, pacesetter headers and y-pipe right now. I can't cut the y-pipe/cat flange off becasue I need to bolt the OEM y-pipe back exhaust on...inspection reasons.

    Hesitation at W.O.T

    I have a 89' with a 92 4.0L in it. Was out wheeling two weekends ago and the truck ran great all the way up there and when I was wheeling. I got stuck in traffic on the way home all was good until the traffic broke up. I took off WOT (wide open throttle) and my truck hesitated. It runs great...

    Runnin open headers

    I got an 89' with a 4L in it. I am running pacesetter headers with the o2 sens in y-pipe. Would running open headers hurt the motor at all? I would take off the exhaust where the y-pipe comes together at the cat. Yea i know about the fumes being under the cab and all that so I don't need input...
