A weight distributing hitch might be the answer to your problem. It is designed to reduce sway. The other thing to look out for is a sagging rear end. If your tail is dragging it could mean that the weight of the caravan is not properly distributed. The weight of the tongue should be at...

This from the May 2000 issue of Motor Trend: 0-60 time - 8.4 sec. Standing quarter mile - 16.5 sec. Now remember this is with a fresh (read tight) engine and a 3.73 rear axle ratio. There was one other review, may be 'Truckin', that has the 0-60 at 7.9 and the 1/4 mile at 16.1. I ain't...

Welcome You're sure to find tons of info on any subject here. Your mods, will they be for offroad or on?

Did you get to see a pic? Hey man, thanks for that URL. When I went to the page I couldn't see a pic of the black billet overlay on the XS. http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.cfm/partfamilyid/828/categoryid/11/subcategoryid/60 Did you see a pic of this anywhere?

You know, I forgot to mention the greatest thing about the screen mesh; nothing sticks to it. You can read my sig for upgrades.

Are you kidding? Most people that ask are asking what kind of truck it is!! I guess there just aren't that many of us around, which I consider to be a plus.:hammer:

With the addition of intake and exhaust mods, you'll notice a difference with your Y2K1 X Sport. A chip will also boost your hp and torque. The addition of ram-air and a cold box will help the engine pull in more cold air and the KKM Ture Rev will allow more air into the TB. This is even more...

Dam Pics! Here's another shot of the screen over the grill, tho you can't see it that good. Does a good job of keeping the bugs out.

Lots of Mods? 2001ExpSport is right. There are a lot of crucial upgrades for our '01 X Sports even though some of them are listed without mentioning the Xsport. When I got mine in June of 2000, I mean there was nuthin' out there. I developed ram-air from the grill that you can turn off when...

2002 Mods and stock 0-60 It sometimes takes awhile for the aftermarket people to catch up. Bookmark and send emails. Lots of times things will fit but are not slated specifically for your ride. If you take your measurements of the muffler and it's configuration, you can probably get the...

Keypad and license plate screws After almost losing my plate (they had it about halfway off), I now use security style stainless sheet metal screws (2 off-centered holes in the screw head). They also have a tapered pan-style head. Although I didn't order it, my X Sport came with the keyless...

It's the same place as stock. The stock airbox has a small snorkel that protrudes into the round hole behind the headlight. I forget how long it is, like 3-4"? You can see it in the picture above. Anyway, the cut-out is about an inch longer and sits in the same exact location as the stock...

I'm with Flyguy on this. The Flowmaster 50 DF is a good compromise with no resonance at highway speed. V6's don't sound that good without the backpressure. Isn't there some place that has sound bites of the different Flowmaster sounds?

Lastly... Here is where I mounted the push/pull control for the cut-out. I ran the cable alongside the heater core feeds from the passenger compartment:

Another pic of ram-air Here's a different shot that shows where the exhaust cut-out sits:

Switchable Ram-Air Once you go with a conical set-up like K&N FIPK or KKM True Rev you owe it to yourself to try to enclose the filter by boxing it in so it doesn't pick up hot engine air. The other thing is an exhaust cut-out that can shut off the ram air from the grill when it is raining...

Is this what you mean? I posted a how to a long time ago, I don't think the pics are still at Photopoint but do a search on ramair.

With tools you don't have... It will only take a good body shop 5 minutes to fix it; but you'll be back unless you control that pet orangutan that swings on your door 24/7.

Flowmaster Go here: http://www.rpmoutlet.com/flowprodb.htm#ft Since the '01 is still relatively new, it will take some outlets time to catch up. To be sure of the correct muffler, you need to crawl under the truck and take your own measurements, noting whether the inlet(s) and outlet(s)...

It's your torsion bars! When I took in my X Sport with the same problem, they merely adjusted the front torsion bars. Now that I have air springs, it doesn't make any difference since you can adjust each side of the rear height independently. Shop manual says to measure from center of wheel...

I was lucky... When I had this happen on my '94 Navajo 4X4, I took it to the dealer and when we took that all important test drive together, voila, it did it; a sickening crunching noise from the RF. Turns out it was right front wheel hub. It came under warranty and it cost them a bundle...

Just make sure they send you the right wires After three go-rounds with Jacobs I still had the wrong lengths. Too long or too short, their both bad.

The cold air and ram air are unique... ..in that they are both made from bits and pieces. The wall between the filter and engine bay is a Lynx LBTL-2 polypropylene Universal Replacement Battery Tray from Western Auto. The tray gets cut out and slips over the flange and is covered with fiberglas...

The cold-air and ram air pkg on my X Sport utilizes a KKM True-Rev but I still was curious to see if anyone out there has experience with the Volant product.

Homemade Jimmy Bar You know those hanging folders that you use for manilla folders in a verticle or lateral file cabinet? Get a legal size hanging folder from somewhere and remove the metal thingie, that's your new jimmy bar. Do you have a roof rack with those bungie cord tie points on it? If...
