i've got a catco hi-flow converter,2 1/2 aluminized pipe with a 40 series flowmaster with a 2 1/2 tailpipe.i've got about $240 in the whole thing and sounds alot better than the dynomax superturbo that i had on it.

i had blowby and changed to the steel baffled cover and all my blowby problems disappeared.i gave less than $20 for the cover and used a new model perma seal fel-pro gasket.no more blowby and leaky vc.it's a well worth small project.

my egr valve has been unplugged for 9 years.most new vehicles don't even have them.like said earlier egr has nothing to do with oil blow by.

i don't have anyway of shooting pics.the bolt pattern is different.my grandmother has a 94 s-10 and there was a post about cutting the opening larger to make a newer s-10 handle work so i'm going to check out her tailgate handle monday.

the bolt pattern is different.ours looks like a triangle pattern where the s-10 has one bolt completely offset.when i seen this i didn't even take it out of the pack in case they wouldn't accept it as a return.maybe the newer s-10s would work but the 82-93 doesn't,not at least without drilling out the tailgate and other possible modifications.

i just got a new dorman tailgate handle for a 82-93 s-10 and it does not work.anyother suggestions?

my 88 4.0 aw4 has 3.55s as well.

i just got through making many improvements on the mj while on vacation.i added a new hesco w/p,high flow housing and t-stat,professional products balancer,alternator,belt,idler pulley,oil filter adapter o-rings,2 1/2 aluminized exhaust with 2-chamber flowmaster and slightly larger grand cherokee front sway bar.now my damn tailgate handle broke.does anyone know if a new handle is still available?

i second the intake bolts.even after loctite mine would work loose and cause a vacuum leak and a very high idle.if replacing injectors fixed a high idle it was because the lower o-rings were bad causing a vacuum leak,not the injectors themselves.i would use some water in a squirt bottle or some carb cleaner to look for vacuum leaks.

i've had several redtops.some last forever and others seemed that if they got run down they would not hold a charge.i used to friends with the local advance auto manager and he would let me have them for about $95 but he moved and now they want a ridiculous price for them and imo they're not worth it.

try justgastanks.com.i got one made from plastic for a customers 78 j20.no one else made anything even out of metal except them.

mines starting to do the same thing.professional products has a nice replacement one from summit for $72 but it's been on backorder for almost 2 months.napa can get pp parts but i haven't tried them yet.

i'm on my 3rd pump and 2nd tank.

my factory fuel pump was pretty quiet.the first time it went out i replaced it with a mopar pump and it was quiet.that pump lasted about 6 years and when it died i put a carter pump in it from the local federated store and it's louder than my 255 lph pump in my mustang.as long as it works i can live with it.

i put redline 75w 90 synthetic in my 88 about 8 years and 60k miles ago.i haven't lost a drop and it sure doesn't hurt anything.the only thing i've seen about synthetics not being included in a warranty is my little brothers auburn posi unit in his 80 malibu and my friends moroso posi in his 72 chevelle wouldn't be covered if it failed if they found synthetics.

i put the dynomax catback on the gf's 95 4.0 zj and it fits and sounds great.it definitly doesn't sound stock.

i had a dynomax superturbo on mine for a few years.it was alittle louder than stock but not so loud it was annoying.they're not real expensive.on the same note i like loud exhaust so i went back with a flowmaster 2 1/2 and 2 1/ 2 aluminzed tailpipe and high flow catco converter.

i wouldn't use it in my vehicle but i had just done a valve job on a guys 4.3 astro van and his rear main was leaking as well.he couldn't afford to fix both but 4 months later and it's still holding up not leaking.

i picked up some stuff at advance auto for like $18 that i think was in a gray bottle.i put it in a 92 astro van that was pouring and in about 2-300 miles it quit leaking.for $18 it's worth a try.

i think i'm going to go with the ho-head and just port the renix intake as well.it seems alot easier than dealing with the throttle body issue.

mine was doing this a couple of months ago.i was leaving work and it would usually bog then it would eventually pick up and go but that day the fuel pump decided to finally die.

over tightening a belt can ruin a new waterpump quick or you just could've got a bad one.some reman's aren't as good as new ones.

i did the valve cover fix as well.not a drop of oil in the air box.i spent $20 on a cover,$35 on a gasket and $1 on a fitting.it is well worth the effort and isn't as hard to do as you may think.

i changed over to an open system cheaper than that tank.

you've never seen a first gen. dodge neon head then.trust me it's the head gasket seeping as others will testify too as well.
