    $200 "take off" Jeep Sahara wheels and tires

    Used to pull a trailer with this truck but not anymore. So I will pick up a fresh set of stock power mirrors. I have not had any rubbing issues, so I'm gonna steer clear of a lift kit. Black front bumper and rear roll pan soon. Looking into picking up a 76 Corvette for my wife soon...

    $200 "take off" Jeep Sahara wheels and tires

    1 1/2" spacer is semi tucked in... almost flush. If I could do it again.... 2" would of been better.

    $200 "take off" Jeep Sahara wheels and tires

    Just got the 1 1/2" hub centric 5x5 to 5x5 adapter in today. No rubbing doing a low speed u-turn in the street. No rubbing when I turned the wheel hard left/right in my yard. Obviously a nice lift over the stock set up. I'll measure the stock tires tomorrow. These are 32" tires. Have owned...

    STILL chasing hard start....

    A bad cap and rotor also acts like a bad e.c.t. $40 for a new AC Delco cap and rotor (no aftermarket junk). It's a simple swap, I prefer to install a fresh one every year. It's difficult to diagnose a bad cap and rotor just by looking at the internals.

    STILL chasing hard start....

    I had a bad e.c.t. once. It died driving down the road. Had a hard start, kicking, bucking and back firing. I replaced the e.c.t. and the broken electrical connector. To diagnose, plug your blue tooth scanner into the truck when it's cold. If its reading something different then the actual...

    $200 "take off" Jeep Sahara wheels and tires

    Thanks for the replies guys. My adapters are still enroute. What are my options for dealing with the front fender rub... 3" body lift... adjust keys?

    $200 "take off" Jeep Sahara wheels and tires

    Been eye balling these for 2 years. Came across a listing on craigslist. I thought it was a scam, but the guy really wanted these gone. 2,000 miles on all 4 tires. I ordered the 1 1/2" adapters today $124. 98 Chevy is 5x5. Newer Jeep are 5x5... but need a 1 1/2" hub centric adapter for...

    98 1500 door lock fuse and relay location?

    Fixed! Circuit #13, cigarette lighter was blown. I cleaned and lubed the passenger door lock over the weekend, it's working great. Driver side actuator won't budge... I'll have to clean it this weekend.

    98 1500 door lock fuse and relay location?

    Door lock actuators were sluggish 5 years ago and finally gave out. I ordered 2 new actuators and was about to install them. I tested my old actuators by jumping them off the battery and reversing polarity. I cleaned and lubed all the moving parts inside the door. Nothing is wrong with my...

    p0300 multiple misfire

    Let us know how it goes. I'm having a similar p0300 with backfire at idle. I'll be replacing cap/rotor, upper & lower intake gasket, spider and regulator.

    P0440 P0300 Back firing

    Just had the coolant flushed and cleaned 2 months ago. Opened it up and it was all gone. I'm wondering if I should do the intake manifold gasket... Or go for a rebuilt motor.

    P0440 P0300 Back firing

    1998 5.0 1500 with 180,000 miles. It has had a SES for 2 years dued to low compression in cylinder number 6. But you'd never know, ran 17 mpg. The other day it started back firing and losing power. It threw a 440 and 300 code. It acts exactly as if the engine temp sensor was bad. I checked...

    LED 3rd Brake Light

    Really enjoy my Spec D LED, $45 from Amazon. I did not have any issues with it. But did read about other guys having to disconnect the yellow wire to make it work correctly, in the Amazon reviews. I have stayed away from LEDs because of all the problems people have with them. But it's hard...
