    Towing with 97 mounty

    Ok I know the bumper hitch is only rated at 3500lbs. The boat I plan on towing tommorow is a 20.5 ft and the weight is 3600-3700lbs. I know some people have twisted their bumpers a little. But do you think I'll be fine towing it for one time or I shouldn't even try it?

    cleaned intake, MAF,IAC and then oil change...now CEL is on?

    If you did an intake cleaning you might have gotten some fluid into the cylinders causing a slight misfire. If you pull the code it will probably be a p0300 radom cylinder misfire.

    Question on NY State Inspection

    You can bring your truck to whatever shop u want to but you will have to pay the full $37.00 again. If you bring it back to the same shop within ten days it is free. By the way what did it fail for HC,CO, or Nox.

    Clicking sound from under vehicle (97 5.0 AWD)

    I have the same clicking noise from under my truck. A couple of nights ago I pulled the front driveshaft and the noise was gone. The cv joint that bolts up to t-case is binding up a little. Does anyone know if you can get the joint or do you have to buy the whole driveshaft.

    Clicking sound from under vehicle (97 5.0 AWD)

    Mike T I have the same exact noise you are talking about. I haven't had a chance to check it out but I think its the u-joints. I dont think its the clamps on the halfshaft because it is a constant noise. Also its definatly not a pebble in the tire because if you roll slowly and pop it into...

    20's Driving With Spare

    I'm guessing I won't chance it if I have a flat. Its gonna piss me off if I get a flat though. Do you guys think that driving a short distance like a couple of miles would do a lo of damage. Thanks

    20's Driving With Spare

    I was wondering if anyone with oversized tires or rims had any trouble driving with their spare. I just bought Mondera B-52's for my truck but someone said that I wouldn't be able to use my stock spare. He said it would mess up my differential. Thanks in advance...
