and a time machine rental place?

awesome. just awesome. :yes:

no pictures? :dunno:

just saying that I've used trucks with the 5.0/4.6L range of v8 and have been disappointed every time. :( the 4.6 in my uncle's truck was the worst. it was slow when empty and just plain scary with a little under 3k pounds in and behind it. :ack: just be sure to get the FI 5.8. the older carbed version is atrociously fuel hungry.

I get 2 completely different solenoids in my search. :hmm: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... ing=search

86 2.5s were external slave. 87-94 2.5s were internal slave.

I'd go with the fuel injected 351 :thumbsup:

If towing is your goal, I'd avoid the 5.0-sized engines.

the front axle doesn't affect mileage. if it did, ALL 4wd vehicles today would have a disconnect. yet they don't. you need to change the speedo gear so that your speedo is accurate with the taller tires. :thumbsup: it's easy and cheap.

I agree. don't forget to check you alignment after the pucks. :thumbsup:

there's a reason why it's not here.

if the rears lock up first, they can fishtail the truck around.

it's less for conversations and more for sharing pics and daily events. besides, I didn't pick it. they did. I had to follow or lose out. :yes:

I resisted for a long time, but FB has turned out to be a great way to stay in touch with far away friends. :cheers:

was last on in march. :( no response to my email.

my 88 was my first ride that I bought. Mine all mine. :D during the next 4 years I spent 2-3 hours a day, 5-6 days a week in that bucket seat back when she was pulling DD duty. she was always fun to drive, though sometime temperamental. She taught me all about doing car repair myself. Later on, she provided some much needed recuperation and rehabilitation for me after an illness. took months to complete the buildup, but she came out looking and working fantastic. drove her out to Utah (3000 miles round trip) back in 05. Just me, my truck and my dog, hitting the open road in search of adventure. there are oh so many memories in that old truck, she's never going to be anything but mine. :D

doesn't exist and isn't fixable unfortunately. :( But the good news is that many of us have just deleted it from the system with no ill effects. :D just plumb a T-fitting in it's place. :thumbsup: another alternative is to get an aftermarket manually-adjustable on and put that in its place (removing the factory one will give full pressure to the rears and it's possible to lock them up before the fronts in some trucks).

my 88's fuel pump was grounding itself to the rear ground point behind the driver's side tail light. not sure if it was supposed to do that, but it was. So if all else fails, clean up that ground, inspect the rear harness connector (located under the truck between the rear tire and that taillight), or do what I did and splice in a grounding wire right by the fuel tank.

If you got the softer rate coils, I can definitely see a loss of an inch happening due to a heavy bumper and winch. When I ordered my springs, they asked if I had those items.

junkyard. car-part.com might be of help with that. :thumbsup: I'd just plan on replacing the whole unit.

it's got almost all the right parts. :yes:

ahhh, I needed to update my flash player. :doh:

generally speaking, the bumpstop should stop the tire from touching the fender. :thumbsup:

neat! :bowdown: with his level of perfectionism, that should turn out awesome!

I can't see it. :(
