    98 5.0L is tired....Any good crate engines?

    Okay let me explain my self a little better. Nothing is seriously wrong with the engine. Compression is within spec. I would like to freshen up my powertrain so I can enjoy the vehicle for another 200k miles. I would suspect that with some new bearings, rings, and with one leaky lifter being...

    98 5.0L is tired....Any good crate engines?

    I'm in the process of trying to figure out what options I have. I may go though the engine but considering I have limited time I am considering anything else that will bolt in and work with the factory electronics. Also it needs to work with the 4r70w tranny. I'm wondering what other if any...

    How much for driveshaft?

    Any one got a pic of the cardan yoke? This goes in place of the cv joint? Also any idea on how much I will need to get it lenghened? Now if I could find out how much longer it needs to be and find the correct cardan yoke that would be awsome and save me some cash.

    How much for driveshaft?

    Hey guys. I just purchased the 4 inch superlift kit for my rig. I didn't order the driveshaft cause I wanted to see if I could find it for less elsewhere. I know I will need a new driveshaft. But do I have any other options and how much should I spend for one? The best I have found the superlift...

    That is awsome! Who knows the hook-up for a good deal on some CHEAP 15x8 wheels with 3.75 back spacing. I thought someone posted a link for some $40 dollar black ones but I don't remember where.....

    Pick my tire size and wheel combo.....

    Pick my tire size and wheel combo.....

    They are pretty close to the original height to width ratio of the oem tire size also. Do you think They will be proportionate to the vehicle with its lift width wise? Just trying to make sure it will look good too since I am spending the cash. Opinions appreaciated.....

    Pick my tire size and wheel combo.....

    I am a BFG AT/KO loyalist after using them for a winter after others brands. It is funny About half of the fourwheel drive vehicles in this roaring fork valley have them. My two buddies in 4x4s didn't and they were helpless in my driveway after a snowstorm. Also, Do the Kunho's have the...

    Pick my tire size and wheel combo.....

    I took the plunge today and ordered moog upper control arms from rockauto.com. I also placed an order for a 4 inch suspension lift from Superlift. What size tires and wheels should I run? They will be BFG AT/Ko's for sure. I do not want any rubbing and would prefer not to have to trim the...
