Yea the guy with the comment about my truck he was in a exporer sport and i have seen a black 00 explorer sport on 33s with black wheels i gave russel my cell # this morning when i called him back. my mounty isnt doing so good at the moment got some issues with a miss fire i havent had time to have it looked at but with 390,ooo miles its on its last leg i know my fair share but its throwing a lean code i put in new motor craft plugs and new wires cleaned the maf sensor i idles like it has a fat cam haha sounds good but not good for it

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Well we have a ton of diag equipment at the house we can figure it out for sure. We are in the middle of doing a reseal on the motor of a 93 and manual trans swap. So we are turning wrenches most of the day any way

Yea i am actually tearing down my truck its 2wd im gonna go ahead and do the sas and the rear axle d44 out of a scout and the full width 8.8 out of a bronco hopefully be done in 6 months or less and rebuilding the motor switching to carburated just gonna do it all at one

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

What kind of transmission will you go with when you switch to a carb system? The transmission you have now would become inoperable with a carb set up.

 

[Randall]

Also, why would you want a carb set up for off-road, when you're already set up for EFI?

 

[99MONTE2WD]

Well im on a budget and i hate fuel injection its cheaper and easier to run a carb if you know how to tune one. the trans will be a c6

When i used to live and work in Texas, (worked all over there), i lived in a small town east of Austin, (ELGIN) they used to have a group that got together and went mudding/crawling. There were a few places just outside of Elgin, of course i moved from there in 2006, so it may have changed.
