    Sohc timing help

    I could use a little help trying to figure out what I did wrong. I just replaced head gaskets and all the timing parts on a 97 sohc. The truck starts, runs sounds like crap at idle and wants to stall. About .007 came off each head but don't think that is an issue. I did use the Sohc tool...

    5.0L AOD?

    Looks like most people who have done the 5.0 swap in the gen 1 use the AOD tranny. I think there are two different ones made and was wondering what one everyone is using? One has a 10.5" extention housing and the other has an 11.5. I think otherwise they are the same. Thanks

    Cat Heat shields

    The heat shield rattle like a SOB. Has any one pulled them off completely? I was a little concerned about doing it since the front cat is so close to my t-case. I really don't want to get into welding them back on so I am open to any other ideas.

    I just replaced my hubs with new warns and couldn't wait to try them so the first time it rained I locked them in hit the four wheel switch and backed out of my driveway.
