    91 Sport Poor Running; Help Diagnosing!

    Is it possible to take the whole 4x4 w/e off?

    FYI (4X2) no biggy, but yes it has improved lots however it also depends on the transmission, I have noticed a difference between Std and Auto's also the auto's (never will be a fan!) are smoother feeling due to the torque converters and computer systems that control them.
