    floor pan replacement- what are you doing about the seat mount re-inforcements?

    '96 Country...typical floor pan rust. In the last throws of welding/patching floor pans in. When getting the old floors out, I destroyed my front seat reinforcements- the upside down 'U' channel that the 2 front seat mounts bolt into. These have been discontinued and are no longer available-...

    ...? Torque converter is going out presumably. I had vibes around 35 mph and again at 65 mph after a BB with 2" AAL's. I lowered my Transfer case crossmember 1 inch to see if that would help the vibes, and they are gone except for at 65 mph still getting bad vibes. If i put it in neutral it...

    not as cool A/C and overheating...coincidence?

    All of a sudden, I'm getting temp gauge readings almost to the red. Running the heater cools it down slowly. So I replace the thermostat, flushed and filled the coolant. Old coolant looked fine. Noticed today the A/C not blowing as cold. Any relation here? '96 4.0 with 93,000 miles, AW4 auto tranny

    96 4.0 4x4 with 8.25 rear....I put a 2" BB with AAL in the rear and 30's, did the RE H-n-T SYE and running a front driveshaft. So, I have the SYE and CV DS, why am I still getting vibes? Get 'em around 35, then bad at 65 mph. Do I need to shim the axle up more, or what? I thought it looked...

    DIY Alignments...

    So I tried to adjust the toe in on my 96 4x4...got the 2 clamps on the tie rod loosened easy enough, but couldn't turn the stupid thing at all! What's the trick- is it just really hard to do? I soaked everything down with lube-

    Flexplate to TC bolts- One won't go in!..?

    getting this heap put back together- 96 4.0 AW4, 3 of the 4 flexplate into the Torque Converter bolts went in easily...# 4 seems to be 'off' just enough that it won't go in- it's wanting to start at a slight angle, but won't bite. ? I rotated the flexplate a little bit and still no joy. What's...

    It's NOT the flexplate...what is causing this sound?!

    So, the last 2 weeks (1-2 hours at a time) have been spent in the garage on the floor taking the tranny out to get to the flexplate...which I was convinced was cracked. I've had that 'rocks in a can' sound you get when the flexplate bolts are loose, or the plate itself is cracked. No cracks. I...

    96 4.0 AW4...got the 2 torx head bolts out of the top after about 3 hours- got the two side bolts out, replaced them with 8" long ones, I'm trying to slide the tranny back to get to the flexplate. I've got it back about 3/4" on the sides, top doesn't look like it's moving. I'm prying...

Before the flaming/lectures start, yes, I know they are not made to last, and yes I know I should save my money for a Lincoln/Miller/Hobart etc... but... given the choice, would a...

    trackbar...redrill stock mount, drop bracket, or new adjustable bar?

    Ok, BB w/ 2" coil spacers, front axle is sitting over towards the driver's side a bit. Should/can I redrill the stock mounting hole on the axle side with this little amount of lift -(would the new hole be enough away from the stock hole?) -how about a drop bracket- Skyjacker has one for $25...

    Front driveshaft rebuild questions-problems

    I'm rebuilding a front DS to use in the rear w/ the RE H&T. How hard should it be to remove and install new ujoints? To get the old ones out, I had to beat the living snot out of them with a hammer. I figured the new ones would go in easier-WRONG! I bent and broke 3 c-clamps trying to 'press'...

    BPE's like Teraflex, rear swaybar mount mod, etc...

    ok, I know the whole 'turning the upper shock eye 90 degrees' has been debated. Well, I emailed Monroe, and the tech said it was bad, that it could break the shock if flexed. hmm.....new project for me

    stupid NAPA -no spicer parts

    so I'm trying to rebuild a front driveshaft, -my NAPA stores don't carry any Spicer parts, and can't order them. There 'NAPA' boxed driveshaft u-joints are made in Japan! Big ol' "japan" stamped all over them. I said 'no thanks, I don't want japanese crap'.

    front driveshaft bolts? sizes?

    went to my junkyard today to pull a front d/s, got the bolts off the axle end out no problem. Got to the t-case side, and couldn't get my socket on it -too long, then my 5/16" wrench was slipping on it, starting to strip it. Are the bolts at the t-case a different size, if so, what? Any tips on...

    flexplate change...how hard, or how much?

    96 4.0 4x4 with AW4 auto. 93,000 miles. Sick and tired of the rocks-in-a-can rattling coming from the flexplate/torque converter. Bolts are tight on the plate, can't seem to see any cracks, so I'm guessing there way up there around the center, or it's a bad torque converter. Either way, I need...
