Dont know if anyone is looking, but, I saw this add. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/pts/3127840210.html

I have a long block sitting in my garage and would like it gone. You can even have the engine stand its on. It ran when I pulled it, but, its been sitting for quite a while. I have a bunch of misc crap as well sitting around for first and second gen explorers. I converted a 2nd gen 4.0 OHV to go...

I have read that advancing the cam can lead to an increase in compression. Is this true? I have the 410 cam in my OHV and was wondering if I could get a little increase in power by advancing the cam. I don't think anyone makes a cam gear thats indexable for the OHV so I wonder how many degrees...

I ran across something on the internet that Chevy used remote filters on some of their vehicles. I went out to my favorite parts place, AKA the junkyard and found a 93 trailblazer with the remote filter located just behind the drivers side headlight. I pulled it and the lines that connected to...

A4LD rebuild breakdown for the first timer-You can do it! Well I thought this might be a good referance for those thinking of taking the big plunge into transmission rebuilding. Below is a breakdown of parts, part numbers, tools, and some links. Anybody finding anything wrong with this or...

Well I have finaly got off my butt and am preparing to tear down a 92 trans I got from the junkyard. I have been reading Glacier's rebuild diary along with others. I have the ATSG manual and I am making a list of tools and parts that I will need. I plan to follow Glacier's bullet proof tips as...

Just found this website and thought I would share it. It might already be out here somewhere. I wonder if their prices are fair? http://www.transmissioncenter.org/a4ld.htm

My trans is acting up. When cold, it holds 1st until around 4000 RPMs then it will shift quickly 2 3 then OD. I was told this is called stack shifting. While driving, it will go into OD at 35MPH and stay there even when I let off and get back on it. Once I mash the pedal far enough to shift...

Has anybody heard of or used a fuel catalyst type system? They claim better power, lower emissions, and better fuel economy. A company called Fitch makes a kit that boasts up to 18% increases. The link is below. http://www.fitchfuelcatalyst.com/products/auto/index.html

Well for the past few weeks, my tranny has been acting wierd. When I put it in reverse, it shudders for a few seconds while making a matalic almost grinding noise. The noise and shuddering stop after a few seconds. Sometimes in drive I feel the trans bump itself while I am stopped. Does this...

I have a 91 X and Im getting realy bad gas milage. There is no CEL so the ECU seems to be happy. I have heard that staying in open loop will yeild bad gas milage and my truck runs cool, usualy the temp guage is on the N and on a hot day the O. The T-stat is a new 195 unit. I used to get between...

I am in the process of adding a second battery but I do not have a place to mount the isolator inside the engine compartment. I was thinking to mount it behind the grill on the drivers side of the front clip. That is the only metal place to mount it. My question is how sensitive are these things...

Well I think I got a good deal on 100 feet of galvanized 5/16 wire rope with a 6000lb alloy hook built in. It cost a hair over 60 bucks with the hook and made to order. Does this sound like a good deal? Does anybody know how the terminal lug on the other end is held on? Do they solder it or is...

Just ran across this and seems to be a good deal so I thought I would post it. e-winches.com

I got a warn MX8000 winch cheap and I need to replace the cable. I'm not doing synthetic yet, its too expensive. What size and whats the longest length I should put back on? Also where is the best place to get it?

OK I have the third member out and I have removed the bearing caps. I thought the worst was over. The carrier is wedged in pretty good, so how do I get it out? I read the removal instructions on TRS, but it says to lif it out carefuly. It doesn't want to move. Is there a special tool?

Well I have been looking for a winch that fits my buget. I saw this one on e-bay for under 400(Shipping?). I also looked at the ones from Harbor frieght that I read were just rebadged superwinches for Chicago electric. I know harbor frieght has warranties you can buy that are based on price and...

Well I have done the research with no solid answers. I dont want to do EB coils because that would require fab work according to posts I read. My questions are below. 1. What if I use the Skyjacker 6" coils? I heard they sag and you end up with 4". 2. Sky jacker 8" coils? If they are soft...

Well I have 240K on my current injectors and thought I might try this other set I have sitting around. The motor is out of a 2000 X that I back fitted to go into my 91. The injectors came off that motor. Well put in the newer injectors and now my truck won't start. They have the same connector...

I just want to start off by stating this is not my idea, I saw this in a magazine and was thinking that maybe this concept could work with D35 or 44 TTB parts. My drafting skills are a little lacking so be kind. I just thought what a great way to increase ground clearance and having a solid...

Found this website that has what you need to build custom link type suspension and more. Their prices seem to be fairly reasonable, but I have never shopped for this stuff before so I dont know. You can buy the rod ends and the brackets for the axle and the frame from them if you are into the...

Does anybody know if you can use a 2nd Gen power steering pump on a 1st Gen truck? I have blown 2 seals in my steering gearbox. I have a pump from a 2nd Gen truck(Rack & Pinion) in my 91. I am wondering if the rack power steering pumps are higher preasure than the older ones? It has worked fine...

Check out this link below. The system replaces your rear shackles on the rear axle. Looks like an easy setup. What do you guys think? Nth Degree Zig Zag

A couple of weeks ago I came back from a buisness trip. My buddy had drove my truck while I was gone because his was sick. I noticed that my truck vibrated more than usual and I started loosing power. I decided to go to the junk yard and pick up some sensors and a FPR to see if that would fix...

OK, I know a few of us have been dying to get a run organized. So lets do it. My proposal is early September. I would like to go someplace where we can do some crawling. The last time I went to GWNF near Harrisonburg, we actualy had some 2 wheelers as well. I don't know about Grozet maybe...
