So this kid in a dodge truck lost control over a blind hill in front of me today on the way to work, its a steep down hill and I could not stop in time so I tried to run into the ditch and when I did my front end dug in and threw my driver side rear end into his pass rear side bumper. He has a...

My 99 has just over 120,000 now and runs as good as the day I got it with 30,000. My wife had a 96 2 door sport that had just over 175,000 when we sold it to a friend, he took it over 200,000. It burned some oil but not to bad, but it still pulled in mid to high 20 mpg's on the highway. I miss...

Thanks, i see you definantly did some research on the subject.

Its weird you say dont use grade 8 bolts. I thought bolts that have 6 lines on them are grade 8, thats what came off my Jeep. I dont see how grade 8 is weaker than 5. So i definantly need copper coat, And i should get new washers. What ever the factory put on my bolts when they installed them...

So im installing a new header on my 99 and i was wondering if I should replace the bolts while I have them off. Most of them look pretty good but a few of them definantly have some wear on them. I have a few that the washer wont come off the bolt from all the crud built up on them. I wired...

Thanks, i pulled it off and was like what the hell is this for? I was tired and covered in rust and PB blaster and just wanted to go to bed because i was up for over 24 hours. how much do they usual run?

So i'm here asking what the sensor is on top of the intake manifold is and feeling like a complete noob. I honestly have no idea what it is. All I know is im replacing my exhaust mani and while I have the intake off im gonna take it to work and have it cleaned in the parts washer. so I take this...

So I pulled my plugs and they look good except for they are pretty black. I dont remember them ever being this black before. I changed them in the begining sept before going to the beach so they have about 5-6,000 miles on them. I'm assumimg their black because of the extra fuel being dumped...

Any more input form anybody else who had had this problem? I really want to get this fixed asap, tired of wasting gas because of this.

So can I pull the sensors and test them? like with a mulitmeter to see if they are working properly. I am planing on replacing my whole exhaust sooner than later but dont have all the money for piping yet. If it's my cat I dont want to wast the money for a 2.25 inch cat when I am getting a 2.5...

Thanks for the compliment on the pic. Which sensor did you replace? front or rear?

So my CEL light came on and I had two codes up First one is PO 138 O2 sensor circuit high volts, bank 1 sensor 2 And PO 141 O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction, bank 1 sensor2 So I'm assuming that it's my after cat sensor. I have noticed my milage has dropped lately. I have searched...

I will be watching this post to see how you did this. Lots of pics if you have them please:thumbup:

I would also like more info on this tire carrier, any links or DIY's to go by would be great.

I say check the steering box, if you greased it and the noise went away and then came back I'd say it's the culprit. You don't want to spend a bunch of money to fix something and then have it not be the problem and then not have the money to fix what needs repaired. Unless you are looking for an...
