  1. it's possible it isn't on the site yet. But I know he's got 'em. See his post in the classifieds and maybe send him a PM or email. :thumbsup:
  2. AAL. hellcreek makes one that should bump it an inch. Comes with the hardware you'll need too (except U-bolts)
  3. My problem is that ABS doesn't help you stop faster in every situation. It merely helps you steer. Sometimes I just want to friggin' stop. :headpop: Not roll past the stop sign because one tire locked up. :fs1: After the ABS died, I drove around the neighborhood just so I could prove to myself how hard it was to skid through a stop sign. :shake:
  4. yes. yes it is. :D Those were the "snow shoes" I put on her to make that first winter commute a bit less deadly. If anyone ever asks, 31" tires will fit on a stock Dakota with minimal contact of plastic (assuming the right backspacing is used).
  5. rockers were already on their way out (I hid that with bedliner), bedsides were hideous inside and starting to bubble, floor was partially missing on the pass side. But it sure looks clean, and that's all that mattered at the time. :D
  6. Due to the funky design of the upstairs, there's some dead space in the corner of the room. We're re-doing the room in drywall and so I took the opportunity to add something cool. :D Cost about $50 in supplies. still needs paint and trim.
  7. This is my 88 (the one in my avatar), circa 1998. And a shot of my Dakota R/T, circa 2001 That is all. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. :waving:
  8. The Cobra version. :D
  9. look for a 95 mustang Cobra 5.0. :thumbsup:
  10. Many years ago I almost had my hands on a Cobra 5.0 (last year too) engine. Raises my blood pressure every time I think about it. :fs1:
  11. It had one originally, but regardless, if there isn't one now, it can't be plugged up. :thumbsup: TPS adjustment: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12260
  12. I hate them. Although, I've made my piece with the more intelligent versions. Related story, the ABS and stability control systems in the Libby suddenly died just the other day. I was ECSTATIC to finally be able to drive the dang thing as cars were meant to be driven. :banana: Then it dawned on me that it's not actually my Jeep and I'd need to fix it for dad. :( Also the cruise won't work and that's a bit of a bummer.
  13. I'm "carb-stupid". :( efi is pretty simple to me, carbs may as well be from a crashed alien spacecraft. all depends on what you're used to I guess. :dunno: Not that I think it'd change anything, but I do believe that there's an adjustment technique required for new TPSes. I'd also suggest a can of gas stabilizer or octane booster. Might help if it is indeed bad gas and it's fairly cheap to try. out of curiosity, do you have the original cat on it?
  14. 88/4.0- crappy 90/4.0- horrible 86/2.8- ghastly Dakota R/T-even worse
  15. rust is the enemy. I had a cracked leaf in both packs of my 88 before I started the build. I assembled 2 good packs (with extra main leafs as AALs) out of 4 packs during the build. They survived just fine for the next few years of hard wheeling, rusty though they were. When I had the opportunity, I bought a set of rustfree packs from Florida. Not sure if the Chevy packs will work for you. lots of variables in leaf springs. What particular Chevy are they out of?
  16. Yes. but while it's possible that it's bad, it isn't likely. computer failures are pretty rare. Also, make sure you quadruple-check for vacuum leaks. Especially at the sealing surface between the intake manifold and head.
  17. clearly you're doing something wrong. :yes: http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/1618577176.html Is he drafting big rigs to get that number? :dunno:
  18. tried something last night to refresh the search index. anyone notice an improvement? :dunno:
  19. best ones I've got:
  20. Welcome! :waving: That wasn't a grand cherokee. It was front end pieces from the Chinese version of the cherokee.
  21. don't worry, it doesn't have one. :thumbsup: The best the older trucks have is the o2 light that's on a stupid timer.
  22. check under the carpet for moisture or rust.
  23. what's this "check engine light" you speak of? :dunno: you're think of a 91+. :thumbsup:
