  1. Pete, thge rear leafs suck . If I put any weight in the back the truck sags to the ground
  2. no, it moves just makes a loud noise, thump, I can't explain it right .I just forgot what it does exactly but dang it doesn't sound good. :oops:
  3. You don't need gills. Everything is either reptillian, amphibious, or hispanic! :D
  4. Any thing I should look for. It does it even in slippery conditions(snow) when I start off from a light or stop sign, then goes away. All tires are the same size. Could the allignment or balance of the tires be off causing this to happen. I also get a wobble at about 40 MPH. Trackbar and front u-joints have been replaced.
  5. Riceman has one in the projects section.
  6. Bastard Floridians! (Just kidding I'm orginally from MIAMI :D )
  7. BLHtaz. I don't think I read that post right. Does he need our old injectors back? I just changed mine last week.
  8. FX are you talking about the O2 heater relay?
  9. OK , now I gotta find a propane torch. Thank you sir. Any other suggestions?
  10. Well three months and some parts later I still have this problem. Here's the differnce though. I now notice that if I let the truck warm up for about 15 to 20 minutes I no longer have this problem or it's barely noticeable. New parts include: Fuel filter, plugs, wires, TPS, oxygen sensor, distributer cap, rotor, CPS, CTS, knock sensor, 19lb injectors. So here's what I'm thinkin. There is something in that engine bay that expands when it gets hot enough and therefore creates a tight seal not giving the stupid renix sensors mixed signals. So maybe an airleak somewhere? I though that maybe it was the bolts to the intake manifold but all those are all on tight nowand no change. I changed my ccv lines but oil still leaks from the new grommets leading me to believe that maybe this is causing the problem and the grommets expand (especially the one going from the back of the valve cover to the intake manifold) sealing off the air leaking and creating the necessary vaccum? Maybe? Next theory is that the piston rings are shot completely and because it is cold do not create the necessary compression untill they warm up completly and expand forming a tight seal with the cylinder walls? However compression tests show that all cylinders are good except #1 is a little lower. Of course, there is still the MAP sensor, EGR, MAT sensor that ned to be changed, but if these were faulty it would stutter all the time and not get any better as the temperature in the bay warms up. So kids, any ideas? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
  11. There's a ball under the passenger side front bumper. It controls some vaccum for the heater controls I think. Make sure that's still there and the two vaccum lines are still connected.
  12. Thank you sir :cheers:
  13. Can anybody tell me the factory spec for oil in an 88 4.0?

  15. Hey hornbrod, would that part # be the same for an 88 4.0 full gauge for the temp sender?
  16. Quadratech has a light bar that mounts to your rain gutters. I don't tink any drilling is required.
  17. Hey, if I plan on getting Helcreeks rear springs, and RE's 3.5 coils with I'd say probably 31 or 32" x 9.5 or 10.5 tires, would it be a good idea to get a set of WJ LCA's to prevent rubbing at full lock? Would they be good to use with this lift? And what should I get for UCA's? Thanks :D

    Well Eagle , I can't help you with video games but if you ever need anything translated, just pm me or type it here . I'm fluent in spanish if you need help. (Parents are from Argentina, Grandparents are Italian.) Or just have her type it and I'll get back to you guys.
  19. The ground for the rear lights I think is behind the driver's side tailight, and there might be one behind the same side wheel well. I don't think that many people on this board have original interior lights. However there are some posts up recently about what replacements you can get.
  20. That's great! Thanks BLHTAZ. :cheers:
  21. Hey, so when you order the injectors, do they come with o-rings and all items needed for the change or do you have to pick up any other parts?
  22. Nappa has it cheaper. The whole system coming out of the valve cover and all the vaccum tubes together run $50 . Part # 715-1367, 715-1366, 715-1365.
