    $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

    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...

    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...

    What size resistor for LED brake light, no cruise control

    Cruise control was working fine until I installed LED 3rd brake light. What size resistors do I need to trick the brake switch into reading correctly and allowing my cruise control to engage.

    Joey 98 1500 Black

    He was going about 45 mph when a van hit him in the passenger side. He swerved and fish tailed into me. He was banged up pretty bad and left in an ambulance. I had a heavy duty brush guard that saved my truck. Granted the whole front end is smashed... If I didn't have that guard he would of...

    Trailer shorting out, socket?

    Traced it down to the socket. Light socket is two vertical contacts. Obviously we did not line up the double filament bulbs correctly. Explains why it felt cross threaded and loose. It caused a dead short and another time it caused voltage to bleed over to the other side. Easier to see in...

    Trailer shorting out, socket?

    Last night left, right and hazard did not work. Today right and hazard work perfectly When I throw the left signal it works but voltage bleeds over to the right signal also. Left is blinking at 100% brightness and right is flashing at about 25%. When it should be off.

    Trailer shorting out, socket?

    My friend dropped his new trailer and it cut the harness in half. I spliced it all back together but the flashers don't work. Double checked the splices and nothing is mixed up. Ground is good on the trailer and truck. I removed one bulb and it starts working normally. But when bulbs from...
