Lol

Ok I will check that out... Thanks!

Any ideas on what this issue could be? The engine will suddenly start sputtering and surging, and sometimes puffing black smoke, then clear up after about 30 seconds to a minute. (Almost like when you leave the choke on on a lawn mower) I'm almost 100% sure it's a sensor because when it clears...

The HP for the 2.9 is 145 I believe. It feels like no less than that🤷‍♂️

I guess I just have a soft spot for the first gen looks😁 love the grille and doors/mirrors especially. Altho they only look good with the right wheels and tires
