Re: Fix for oil cooler lines!

Well It's been awhile, but did replace the Lines with the "Dorman" 625-105 unit. it cost a bit more than $60.00 up here but It was Much cheaper than OEM buy about $140.00. I paid $120.00 for the lines plus taxes at NAPA. I couldn't find it at any other place. And sorry folks for no pics, I...

Re: SES Light on, Can't check codes

Hi tehbawb
The speed is normal if the the choke is still on (Hi idle). The thought that comes to mind first is Temp Sensor or an Air Leak without being able to read the codes. Hope this helps :)

Re: As.com down again!

My thoughts on both boards are, AS is my first board that I posted on and I'm loyal to that, when It sinks for good is when I will jump ship and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with this board or admins here, thats just the way I am so please don't take offense to that. This a great board, bu...

Hi chinnesse The most common problem is pinion bearing. This causes alot of whining from the rear end when it gets bad. Usually the pinion seal will start leaking at the same time and a good indicator of a worn pinion bearing. The pinion seal is located right where the drive shaft is bolted up to th...

Hi Water Boy Are those the correct plugs for that motor? They look abit cold. Yes they are in bad shape. Have you considered Platinum plugs? Also might I suggest testing your plug wires for resistance and Spark from the coil. if you have a weak coil it won't light the plugs properly either. Hopefull...

Hi WaterBoy Hmmm, pinging,knocking. Plugged PCV Valve, Worn Timing chain, Bad Gas (regardless of octane), To much carbon build up in the motor (piston, valves). A cheap way to figure this out is run 92+ for a while in it, at least 2 tank fulls and see what happens after that. Just a thought. :)

Hi phantom444
I have the P215/75-15 tires on mine which is factory spec and in my 1996 manual it says 29 psi all around. That's with a 5-bolt setup.
Hope this helps.

Hi safariobsession Check the Cap and Rotor first. Look for signs of arching under the cap itself. I would go through the electrical first safariobsession, that would be the easiest to do. Start with Cap,Rotor then work into it from their. I'm thinking a Bad Cap, Plug Wire, Plug (Crack Insulator) wit...

Hi nhfire77 Your transmission doesn't need to be rebuilt just to replace a shift solenoid. Have a reputable transmission shop look at it first. As for your 2002 dog house, they should be the same as the 96 model year. The link I posted on the other site applies to your year as well nhfire77, I gave ...

Hi safariobsession Hmmm, Just a shot here, but maybe check the Cap (for arching), Faulty fuel regulator, or to much advance in your timing (fualty knock or crank sensor). The best thing to do first is narrow it down to fuel or spark, then work into it from their safariobsession, not much I know, but...

The speed issue could be a network caching problem (over loaded) The front page is fast but when you get into the topics it's very slow and logging in is slow as well, but here's the clincher, when you have logged in, and move around and post to a thread it seems to get...

Hi tripplec
Thanks for the tips as well. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I will be removing the whole unit first before modifying it. I have 2wd and I believe it's a bit easier than awd. I let you know what happens. :)
