    shaking in 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gear m5od issue?

    My 91 2wd 5 speed started shaking/vibrating while driving a little while ago. which gradually got worse. I thought it was the rear end at first, as the 5 speed has always shifted like new. Front wheel bearings had a little play, so I swapped those, which did nothing. Front end is all tight. I...

    can I bleed just the slave if that's all I changed?

    So I finally got around to doing the clutch and slave in my 91 2wd 5 speed. Nothing was leaking, so no air ever entered the hydraulic system, and no air should be in the clutch master since there was no fluid loss when I disconnected the line at the slave. I know people have a lot of issues...

    do all these things just ride lousy, is is there an issue I'm not seeing?

    Ok I have had my 91 4 door 5 speed 2wd for almost a year now and have replaced nearly everything under it that was bad and some that weren't trying to get it to ride better. (For the record I also had a 95 f-150 2wd supercab 5.0 which rode like a caddy, so I know it's not just because it's...

    So I got my warrior shackles and my rear leaf spring bushing set today, and of course, there is a problem. The bushings, which seem to be the proper diameter for the rear leaf spring eye are to long. The 2 bushings halves put together are the same length as the sleeve, but the sleeve, and...

    warrior shackle install bolt snapped, need bushing, help

    So before ordering my warrior shackles I decided to spend a few days soaking the bolts and making sure they would come free so I knew if I needed to order the energy suspension bushing kit also. The bolts broke free easily in all of them, then I put the wrench on the other side and give it a...

    anyone replaced coil springs with moogs to restore the ride height and add washers?

    So here's the deal I put 31x10.5 bfg all terrains on my 91 4 door 2wd 5 speed. Obviously the stock springs have sagged over the years and the tire is slightly rubbing the inner fender plastic on the front side of the wheel well. Only I don't know how much it's sagged front and back. It sits...

    aftermarket clear front lights?

    Seems these are pretty scarce. I'm not looking for the euro clear I would prefer the normal stock style reflective plastic type but in clear that matches the stock headlights since mine are still nice and clear. From what I have seen there are a few obscure sites that have aftermarkets listed in...

    So I've had this truck a month and am happy with how it performs with the 5 speed and 3.73 rear end, but I know there is always room for improvement. I searched and didn't find much for the first gen. Are there any cheap and or diy mods that help give a bit of a power boost? Maybe a larger bore...

    some flare questions.

    I want to add the 2nd Gen flares to my 91. I know they mount using holes in the body but are they necessary, or could I just screw them into the fenders and rear quarters on the lips on the bottom and just use the 3m automotive double stick tape to mount them to the body instead of drilling all...
