Hello all my name is Tim and I am new to the site. I would like to introduce myself and my truck, I am a 25 years old and my ex is a 1996 Sport 4x4 4.0 V6 automatic. The truck is oxford white with tan cloth interior and she has roughly 199K on her now and starting to show it. I have had the truck for almost 2 years now and have just run across this site and have found some very helpful posts. I picked up the truck from an ex-girlfriends father for $200 because he was going to sell the truck because one of the valve covers was leaking oil and he didn't want to fix it. Everything on the truck does work (although have not tried 4x4 low but really no need for it). I did have the transmission rebuilt as it did let go right after I bought it. Truck is for the most part all stock with the exception of adding some fire dept lights and siren. Truck runs and drives great and is fun to drive. I do have some minor issues i would like to look into fixing i.e. CEL for an EGR code for insufficient flow???? (EGR was replaced and code is still on), front bumper and drivers front fender damage, coolant leaking from rear of engine somewhere, third brake light works sometimes?, and I replaced the leaking valve cover (drivers side) and it again is leaking 
. I am looking for any ideas any of you might have for fixing some of these issues and any help would be much appreciated. Also is there anything further any of you might recommend changing/replacing before it becomes an issue i.e. fluids, bushings, bearings, suspension parts, drive line parts, engine upgrades, tips for fuel economy? Some upgrades I have done are putting a 265/75/15 tire on it, brakes all the way around, t-case flush, fuel pump and filter replacement, and replacing factory radio. I will take and post some pictures today of her. Any and all help/tips are welcomed, and thank you to all that have made this site helpful.
