    Lower Intake Manifold Leaking again on 92 XLT

    I too replaced the manifold gasket. I do believe your problem is with stretched bolts. The are not to be retorqued but replaced. I tried to torque the old bolts to 192 in lbs and snapped one off.

    Tach reading high after messing with 4x4 engagement motor. Coincidence?

    Thankfully i finished up with the t-case acuator motor last night. It seems that i didn't fully seat the armature in the motor by turning it counter clockwise. After doing so i replaced the motor and tried again. It worked once off the t-case so i replaced. Once on the t-case it wouldn't...

    Tach reading high after messing with 4x4 engagement motor. Coincidence?

    I used a T20 tamper resistant socket. Mine came off easily. I don't imagine the tach reading is hurting anything other than my ego right now...but i'm certainly frustrated that my efforts on the t-case motor failed, then the tach went south. Can't help but wonder if i did something to cause it.

    Tach reading high after messing with 4x4 engagement motor. Coincidence?

    I did remove the gear with the encoder switch, i believe thats the gear the meshes with the actuator on the motor. That's where i found the broken plastic stopper? I thought i was yellowish orange dried grease at first, but after removing the gear, clearly saw some larger pieces that fit...

    Wheel bearing repack schedule / frequencies

    I've struggled with my front wheel bearings for a couple of years. Although i didn't find them difficult to get to or repack, I foolishly assumed that because the specs only require about 16 in lbs of torque that i could do it without the 2 3/8 in hex socket. I don't know where to purchase the...

    rear leaf springs

    Hello. New at this. And not much of a mechanic...but i want to learn and have a patient friend. My 92 4 door is sagging in the rear on the left side. I'm assuming i need to replace the leaf springs...is there any other reason this would occur? I'm considering lifting it a few inches as the...
