Re: Catalytic Converter

Sounds to me like you have a sensor gone bad. If the cat has been replaced there should be no reason it failed, unless your putting certain addatives in your gas or running leaded/race gas. I'd start with the sensor myself but thats just my 2 cents.

Re: changing rear ends?

Performance would go down, going to a higher gear, your gas milage would go up for hyw milage, but prob down for city. I honestly dont know if they go up to a 3. something gear set. Highest set i know of is 3.42 but there is alot I dont know about. If your lookin for better hwy mpg go with a 3.53 bu...

Re: A/C Compressor Cycles when in Defrost and Blend Mode

All cars kick the AC on when you set the heater to defrost. I may be wrong in this but i have always unplugged the ac comp during the winter months. Most of the cars i have drove got bad gas milage with ac on(yes esp the Safari) I wanted to run it as little as pocciable.

Re: 1076hp 4.3

Thats awsome but compleatly worthless.... even as a race engine it still has to hold together longer than 2 or 3 pulls esp with that kind of money in it. I would have been happy with 1000hp keep the boost down an have it last awhile at least a season or so.

Re: Thanks you (who ever you are) for the anonymous tip

My dvd player will start auto if left on pause more than 10 mins. Sort of like a screen saver for these new TV's. Not all of them do it though from what I heard.

Re: Got another vehicle, I'm ashamed to admit....

Seeing as you admited you dont have a place to work on it, i would be a junkyard tranny an replace it. rebuilding an auto takes a good CLEAN place to work and some special tools so i would only try that if you find some one who has done one before and lends you a hand.

I dont know about the high flow cat but I had a Moroso sprial flow 3"in an out muffler on my 93 and it sounded great. Now keep in mind it has stock exhaust all the way back to muffler and just a 3" tail pipe. Another thing to keep in mind is mufflar placement will also affect sound.The sho...

Re: Reverting suspension

I wouldnt see why you couldnt install the airide on the flip kit. Air ride replaces shocks and acts as a second "spring". The flip kit just puts the axle on top of the leaf instead of under it. Still have that low look but able to tow heavy stuff or keep your rear up with wieght. now you h...
