    2012 APIM dead - connector missing on one from 2015

    It appears the APIM has died on my wife's 2012. It sounds like this is becoming a common problem, so I'd like to replace it with one that won't die again, which I believe means a 2015 or 2016 APIM. I've noticed the 2015 APIMs are missing a connector, the grey connector shown in the link below is...

    Bench Bleeding Slave cyl. - Should it be solid?

    How do you tell if tie rod ends are bad?

    I'm in the process of changing ball joints, and am now reassembling everything. I put the tie rods back onto the steering knuckle, and tightened the nuts down to the required torque specs. I went to put a new cotter pin in, and the cotter pin hole is even with the top of the nut! When I took...

    Stock Throttle body size

    Anyone know what the stock throttle body size is for the OHV 4.0? I measured mine, inside diameter, at the outer most point of it (closest to the front of the truck) and it was 63mm. Either I have an aftermarket TB on (possible, I bought the truck used) or I'm measuring at the wrong spot.

    Anyone ever taken apart the 5spd manual tranny?

    My tranny needs a rebuild, at least the input bearing is shot. I got a quote of $1200 to replace that bearing and a bunch of others. I'll save almost $400 if I take the tranny out myself. So how difficult is it to change those bearings? I've never even seen a tranny apart...but I'm not afraid to...

    Tranny input shaft wiggles...is that a problem?

    I'm talking about the shaft that goes to the engine. I have my tranny sitting on my garage floor right now, and that shaft wiggles slightly. I've heard that is normal but I'm not sure. Anyone have anything to add on this? Thanks!
