I would change the o rings, They are about $10 from autozone. As for the injectors, any 19 lb ford unit should work as long as they resemble the old ones( metal with plastic top) . The orange top ones have 4 fuel outlets with atomize the fuel better than the single outlet injectors.

If there is enough material arround the dammaged threaded hole, I would drill it out and tap it for a larger bolt if I was not able to clean up the damaged threads. If the is not enough material in the area, then I would use a heli coil. I have also heard of a two part product used to repair...

It may be the EGR valve staying open. First I would see that the valve moves freely. Then I would disconnect and plug the vacuum line that goes to it. If it doesnt act up any more with the egr valve vacuum line disconnected, then you will know that your problem is in the egr valve area.

I took me about an hour a piece to blast the rims. Polishing took about two hours a piece. Paint took an hour for all five. Sorry, I have no pics, but they looked good on the 88 wagoneer limited that they were on.

I refinished a set of five spoke aluminum wheels. The first thing I did was bead blasted them with GLASS BEADS. then I sanded the wheels wher the metal was polished starting with 220 and working down to 2000. then I started to polish with tripoli compound , them went to white rouge, and...

How can you tell if A D35 Is limited slip without taking of the cover. The axle in question is A d35 from 1990 ( C-Clip), has a rubber fill plug.

O ring should be lubricated where you have parts moving against them (Ex. Lock ring). Also, check to see the mating serfces are clean.

It might be possible that thr restriction is causing you O2 sensor to get a better taste of the exhaust, and making the computer run a bit leaner. This would be the case if the O2 sensor was weak or the heater in the O2 sensor was bad. What ever the case more mpg = 2 thumbs up, especially with...

I saw a Cherokee Pioneer with the olympic rings on it. by using that space full of matter between my ears, I came to the conclusion that it must be 1988 ( 4.0 non ho = 87 to 90, 88= only olympic year in that time frame). My question is, were the olympic rings only on the pioneer, or were they...

$350 is pretty low. I would check it out very closely. If you can, pick up the carpet to check the floors to see if it is solid. Take it out and get warmed up good to see if the tranny slips, or the engine looses oil pressure. make sure the 4wd works, as this is an area that can get expensive...

I would also check the front drive shaft splines to see if there is excessive wear.
