    Borgeson Steering Shaft Help!!!!

    I picked up a Borgeson 893 shaft for my 99 Sport and don't believe that it will work. The OEM shaft runs from the steering box through the fire wall to the base of the tilt column. The column itself has a round splined shaft just like the power steering box. The Borgeson shaft has a large oblong...

    Squeaky Distributor

    Just did a search and found the post about a squeaky distributor. I think I've got this problem on my 99. Last week I did a tune on it and the squeak came out of no where. It sounds as if it's coming from the high right side of the engine right in the distributor area. My question is everything...

    Rear Main & noises

    Replaced the rear main...and man what a messy job that SOB is... Glad I did it though...not sure that it was the rear main that was leaking or the rear of the pan gasket...either way we're leak free now. I do recommend that anyone about to do this go with the one piece gasket from the...

    Dropping fuel tank

    How difficult is it to drop the fuel tank? I'm way past due on changing out the filter and my performance has really suffered lately. Anyone know of any write ups on tihs? Any recommendations of what filter to drop in? Matt

    Rear Main leak

    I searched for tips on replacing my rear main seal and I still have some questions. I've got a 99 Sport with an auto tranny. My friend who is a mechanic is convinced that for me to replace the seal I'll have to seperate the tranny from the engine to get at it (even though he's never replaced...

    Relocating the stock intank fuel filter

    I'm wondering if anyone has ever reloacted their stock intank fuel fitler to somewhere a little more accessible? I've got a 99 Sport and it's due for a new filter...but I really only want to have to drop the tank this once, and relocate the filter to somewhere else so that I can change it more...

    Yet another 02 sensor post

    I've heard some negative comments about Bosch 02 sensors...I'm wondering if any of you guys have any experience with them. I'm to the point on my 99 that I'm going to just replace them and hope that after fixing my leaky exhaust and cleaning my injectors I can get some better mileage. I'd like...

    Motor Mounts

    Hey guys. Noticed that my left motor mount is in need of replacing. I'm going to upgrad them from that stock rubber crud, but I'm not sure what's out there other than Daystar, M.O.R.E. and bombproof. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with either of these? Thanks Matt

    Lockers

    I have absolutely no clue when it comes to lockers... Why are some fairly reasonable around 300 bucks and others outrageous at 600 +. Am I paying for strength or is it something else? Is this something I can put in? or is it strictly something I want to deligate to a mechanic? I've got the...

    Rear hatch latch sticks

    Anyone else run into a problem of the rear latch sticking on your hatch? I have to crank on the lift gate handle ten or twelve times in order to get it to open up. Some days it opens right up and others it won't open unless I crank on things. Matt

    I'm about to install a 4.5" lift on my 99. I'm going to eventually put on some Bushwacker flares, and 33's. When I do this I'd like to swap axels, but I know absolutely nothing on this. Anyone have any recommendations on what axel set up to use? Is it better to just swap out the entire axel...
