NC Tom Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Replaced "new" cps with old cps and it runs much, much better. However, now it idles like $#!&. The towel is officially thrown in! I'm done. Getting to towed Monday to find out whether I will be fixing or selling. I love this little truck I just don't think I can afford to take it to garages for constant major repairs. Thanks for everyone's input. These past several weeks have been a real pisser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff at SRS Auto says it runs good although a vibration can be felt in the cab during idle. He couldn't figure that out. Could just be age.

ratrapp Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 possible motor mounts or tranny mount can make it vibrate at idle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratrapp Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Ive seen 4.0 engine and trans mounts so bad that the hanger for the exhaust is touching the crossmember.If theyre bad just use regular rubber mounts.If you don't want vibrations then above all else don't use the brown dog urethane mounts.I put a set on my old 88 mj and i couldnt stand it.Ive had solid mounts in race cars that didnt vibrate that bad.

NC Tom Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Lost track of this thread. The vibration in not audible, like a clanking, you feel it through the steering wheel and overall cab. Only at idle. Otherwise, it's running good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
