    What fuel injectors should I buy for an upgrade on my 98 4.0?

    I went fron the stock 1 hole injectors on my 2000 to 12 hole Bosch injectors and right off the bat I noticed a good improvement in throttle response, smoother idle and somewhat better gas mileage to work in back twice gas needle did not move as far as before but has not been a tank yet.

    Replacing a metal brake line and flaring

    Either as stated above go pre-formed or get the easy bend one with the copper.

    I'm in Georgia so we don't get snow that often but I do remember back in 83 we had like 5 inches and we got out my friends VW beetle (1969) It would not go anywhere until we took off the wide wheels and tires on back and put the factory size back on...so maybe skinny ones do do better or maybe...

    wire size for welding grooves in steering knuckle

    Naw, I have the EM 215IC MIG WELDER so no stitch welding. Knew I should of went with the Rebel EMP 215ic as I think it does but was afraid more functions more stuff to tear up.

    wire size for welding grooves in steering knuckle

    Was planning on doing spot welds as I was told due to the carbon that would be the best...do a spot clean and spot again clean and repeat. Is that true. Stitch guess you mean going top to bottom of the worn area just space them out then fill in between?
