Folks: Been reading the success stories of folks who have upgraded their air by using better flowing coils etc... As I understand it, custom hoses are required. Here is my thought... Has anyone tried to just buy 100% 1999-2000 parts since they have the easier to use quick disconnect lines...

I have had a NAPA alternator since 2000 without issue. I prefer them. The supplier at the time is different then they are now. This said, the first NAPA alternator failed catastrophically when the pully flew off driving from Florida to Georgia. Often times they switch pullys out so make sure...

Did the test just for grins. With such low annual driving she gets now , I have nothing really to worry about!

Their "universal averages" are similar engines at the same mileage ie: other 4.0 engines. At 25+ years old, I think she is mostly healthy.

B5Blue: The tests are onyl 25.00 Go to www.blackstone-labs.com and they will send you free collection kits. They are great to deal with.

Guys: Sent my oil off to blackstone labs and got the below back as a report. Should I be concerned. She has around 145,000 miles on her 1988 Renix 100% stock. Everything is operating well and the only thing origional in her fuel/emissions system is the pressure regulator and the egr valve...

Got one! Thanx .. Just a few left... Its one of those items that when you need it you need it quick... Going to put it on the shelf until my 1999 Napa reman dies

by chance are the wires reversed on the pump? this was a problem I ran into doing mine... The pump buzzed just fine but was sucking instead of blowing. Some fuel came out at the rail making it seem like it had minimal pressure but that turned out to be stagnent fuel. Flipped the wires around...

The Spectra lock ring comes with a new o-ring. That with some greese makes the job easy. Napa sales it under their brand and Advance(GASP) does carry it. That made it soo much easier!

Sorry for the delay.. Here is the shot... as you can see the trip-o-meter has a reset button near the 85mph mark https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LLdonEG_k1M/UQ8qWO64UMI/AAAAAAAAm-0/qUR7gZmwlQI/s640/photo.JPG

Had a 100Amp Napa since 2000 Knock on wood

I'm running Champ Truck plugs ... Gimmick (perhaps) but they were on clearance. Wires... Mopar Performance (blue) (again a clearance deal) and cap and rotor are from rock auto (again clearance but w/brass)

MTBracer367 : If you are getting a brief run followed by the stall, the fuel pump can be safely rulled out. I'm trying to think of this from memory here, and someone else may be able to chime in but I believe there is a fusable link between the fuel pump relay and the power off the battery...

Do you have a set that works for 1988s with the renix era gauge cluster?

Though I am not a fan of Autozoo remans, My 88 ate PS pumps about once a year and every year I was back getting a new pump. I even switched to a newer style pump (97 model year) and continued to be plagued with failures. Around 7 yrs ago the gearbox started leaking. I replaced it, along with...
