    Temp Guage, up and down...

    Yeah, I am thinking that is in order for this weekend. I figure, since the thermostat is only a couple of months old, I will just leave it, but I will flush the coolant and upgrade it to that new orange stuff. (I forgot the name) From what all my buddies say, it makes a huge difference...

    Temp Guage, up and down...

    Hey guys. Well, it happened before and it is happening again. So I believe I have not fixed the problem :confused: ... Driving into work this morning, my temp guage will wander between "running temp" and then go a little hot. It did this before, so I changed the Thermostat and added fluid, and...

    tune up parts, which ones to buy?

    well, I was planning on replacing it only because I threw a code the other day which said something like cylinder 4 missfire. And with the trip coming up, I didnt want to play hide and seek with an electrical gremmlin. I figured I would just get it all at once. But if you think I dont need to...

    All in a Monday night...

    Alright, last night was prolly one of the best/worst night of wheelin for me. It was the best because it was the worst I have ever seen anyone stuck before, and it was our job to get him out! It all started when a buddy of mine got a stock jeep. He knew I had my explorer on 33's and he has been...

    would this kit work

    Yes, the Summit kit will fit. I used it on mine and have had it for about a year now with no problems!! In fact, as stated before, it is just a relabeled PA kit. When you get it, look at the loctite that comes with it, it says PA on the bottle. I got it because of it being cheaper, and believe...

    Auto lights not turning on

    ha, yeah my buddy is rocking a fiero. He actually collects them. He had 6, then went down to 2, now he is back up to 4. The one he currently runs as his daily driver is actually kinda nice. The original paint is 2-tone red and silver is awesome condition. It has the v6 5 speed and a big yellow...

    Auto lights not turning on

    410, those are 'daytime running lights.' Auto light are different. They turn on and off depending on the resistance of photosensors. daytime running lights are a pain in the ass cuz people leave them on and then when it gets dark, they think their lights are on cuz the front and interior lights...

    Auto lights not turning on

    yeah bro. check the switch on the auto-dimming rear-view mirror. If it is all the way left it will deactivate it. You gotta push it right until it clicks, then it should work. If that doesnt work, then I dunno...

    Best lights under 80 buxs

    Dude, I got mine from walmart, yeah I know, but they are BRIGHT! Easily twice as bright as my buddies KCs. Not street legal, but I drive with the lights on my brushguard all the time and never had a cop say anything. They are called like Dessert Fox or something. They just have FOX in big...

    fuel filter

    Never seen one clogged before, but hell, Why not replace it? Especially if you are cleaning up all of the little things. There is nothing like knowing everything is running with new parts...

    Just installed a K&N FIPK, now some questions!

    I would say, if you noticed a little bit of difference, then take it off and clean it some more, you may have not gotten it clean enough. If you noticed a little difference, only like the difference civic notice in power gain from a body kit :confused: , then you may just want to put the old...

    Just installed a K&N FIPK, now some questions!

    I cleaned it with Carb Cleaner, but I guess it is 6-to-one, half-dozen to the other. it took about 3 minutes to clean, but I let it dry for about 20. Its your call, youre the one that has to replace it if it craps out. But I think as long as you get the spring and that little piston cleaned up...

    Just installed a K&N FIPK, now some questions!

    yeah, you can clean it. I used Carb cleaner with an old toothbrush. It worked, but I would suggest replacing it. It will go bad again, soon. I just cleaned mine about 3 weeks ago, and I think I am going to replace it pretty soon. If nothing else, it is worth it to try though...

    Just installed a K&N FIPK, now some questions!

    you might want to check your IAC. Mine started making a little bit of a whistle sound and I ignored it, next I knew it sounded like a fog-horn coming out of my intake. Yours shouldnt be bad, especially considering how new everything is. But it is worth a shot.

    Beaufort, SC.... What do you think??

    Yeah, I have a soft spot for SC, myself. I love the coastline. Dont know how I would feel about it more inland, but where I would live is my favorite place ever. What are the seasons like? Is it rediculously hot and humid in the summer? or is it just hot like florida? The more people I talk to...

    Alright, so I am an engineering student planning to graduate on May 20th. I am searching for jobs and had an interview and a request to come check out the plant in Beaufort, SC. It is about 20 miles north of Hilton Head, which I have vacationed at since I was 10 and LOVE it. My question for you...

    ARB Safari Snorkle on First Gen

    I like them, but I dont understand their use. If you ever get in water high enough for the snorkel to be used, your electrical system will short out and not run. Yeah you didnt get hydrolock, but now you have the pleasure of buying an all new ignition system! Did you address that problem? I...

    light wire question

    back to your first question... I grounded mine to the bolt that held the light down, but after a while it rusted and the ground would give out at times causing my light to flicker. I wanted to make sure my lights were hooked up correctly, I ran everything to the battery. I hooked the negative...
