Hello...It's now (sadly) time to replace my Radius Arm bushings for the second time in 18 months! Ok...so I didn't listen to everyone when I replaced them last time...I had my shop put the Ford factory replacements on. Dumb move I know. So, where is the best place to buy the urethayne (sp?)...

I've been reading about kits you can buy which will give you 2 or 3 options of shift-points for your tranny. Usually it's like: Switch position 1 = factory, position 2 = towing, position 3 = performance. Anyone know if they make these kits for the ol' A4LD? If so, who makes them, where...

I'm looking to put a transmission temperature gauge on my '93 XLT 4x4. I pull a travel trailer and it always makes me nervous not really knowing if the tranny is boiling or not. I do have a cooler on it, but I'd like to "see" what's going on. Anyway...does anyone have experience with this...
