    97 SOHC Hydraulic Tensioner Failure?

    I have access to the whole TSB in the tensioner/intake gasket recall, and was wondering if when you did the tensioner you also replaced the volume reduction plug/oil galley pipe plug as per the recall directions? I've seen several times people replace the tensioner at home and still have...

    Finally did the TT

    Did you do your alignment? Sounds like your alignment is off, which is to be expected. BTW, it's easier to take it in that try it yourself. I don't like trusting myself on it.

    My to-do list- I know what I want, how do I get it?

    Oh! Really? Wait, are they 2nd gens also? And how much fabrication would my XLT take to accept them? Do you fit in the same holes and whatnot? Also, what do the center consoles look like? I figure there's something like a little pod with two cup-holders where the center console protrudes in the...

    My to-do list- I know what I want, how do I get it?

    Rod- Yes, I believe that's what I've seen described around here. But how does an aftermarket intake compare? Mounty- I'm yet to go take the measurements, but it does sound the most likely now that I think about it. As far as matching fabrics, upholstering (sp?) isn't that hard, and maybe I'd...

    My to-do list- I know what I want, how do I get it?

    I recently started a new job with enough pay to actually start building up my exploder again, albeit slowly. So, I've been brainstorming with my buddys about what all I should do. The short answer is; everything. (It's a 1999 XLT 4.0 SOHC) So, I'll start with the stuff I DON'T know how...

    Newbie saying hi, and looking for suggestions.

    Yeah, I've already got that going on for me, hehe. I put the stripes on the hood a long time before I did the stuff on the side, I'm considering removing it, but it'll take a lot of chipping off the paint and then a bottle of mineral spirits and a day of rubbing.. too much work and I might mess...

    Newbie saying hi, and looking for suggestions.

    Hi, I'm glad I found this site. I drive a 99 XLT and love 4-wheelin' it whenever I find the time, though it is also my daily driver. I figure I'd oughta start throwing on some parts or mods, I'm considering a 2" body lift and then some larger tires, but I'm not sure what else exactly I should be...
