Try baking soda and vinegar mixed together and a pot-pan scrubber. It works a lot better than brake fluid or toothpaste. toothpaste will work but takes a lot of time. Put the toothpaste on some 0000 steel wool and rub, rub, and rub some more! This is for cloudy lenses not the bulbs. Should have...

I put 27in. thrush cherrys on my 2 door. Ran both pipes out the right side behind the tire. Tight fit but looks-sounds good to me.

Looks great! I did mine awhile back. I did remove the grill. Youtubed it before attempting. Took about 5-6 min. to do. Krylon makes paint called fusion that will stick to anything. Used it a lot with great results. Just cant decide to paint my rims or not. Probally will.

10-4 That archer973, good tip. connections and-or cables are problems sometimes hard to find.

rick- tried to be an elete explorer hope it goes through.I know how to fix-rig a lot of stuff for cheep-free. this web site is verrrry helpful. I hope I can help others. I have been working on tractors,heavy equiptment and older trucks and cars for about 28 years. live in the country where we...

by pass the inertia switch to see if that's the problem. Pump relay or look under the truck for broken- rotten wires.

Try new battery cables? brothers 18 wheeler had a similar problem. We changed-checked everything and the cables were the problem. Corrosion inside the cables when we stripped the insulation off. Just something to toss in there!

Why not try to make a splice? just find something that has the same outter diameter of the inner diameter and slide the two together. MABY 1/8TH. air line or parts out of an ink pen. There is always the salvage yard.

Why not just paint your stock wheels black and get some chrome lugnuts? Just a cheep idea. That crylon fusion is great stuff for that. Just touch them up every few months.

Been a little bit since last post.Found ecm relay to be hot after driving. My problem was always when after driving at least 15 mi. Changed ecm relay and problem seems to gone away. Been good 4 about 6 weeks now. Might be on to another cheep-free fix! fingers still crossed.

you know to bypass that switch and replace those old relays! That simple stuff can make you cuss and throw stuff.

Cant tell you bout that snake oil, but you are on the money about those posts! I got out of it FAST! Interesting opinions at best.

I was on a different thread with this, glad I found you guys! What I did on my 4.0sohc was duel 27 in. thrush packs, left the cats where the were, and ran tail pipes out the passenger side behind the tire. Sounds great to me! I used 2.25 in-out mufflers and 2 in. tailpipes. Gas millage? Picked...

couldn't agree more! Don't forget about the fuel and air filter! They are very important on one with those miles.

If you have rotated your tires once an a while, you probally have upper-lower ball joint issues. rotated, they all wore the same. On the inside just like all our fords. Its a little pricy on a budget, youtube it and do the labor yourself.
