    starting problems

    I have began to have starting problems with my 98 and was wondering what you guys think. When it is warm it starts fine. When it is cold you hit the key and it just cranks no matter how long you hold it or what you do. Let off the key and hit it again and it fires right up. I have never realy...

    Selectable locker

    I bought an OX for the front 30 and it works like a charm. No complaints here. Haven't had any cable issues, and I'm one of those shift in and out people. knock on wood. For some reason I just like to know how far I can go in 3 wheel drive. Then lock it up and proceed.

    Do you buy your Tires Local or Online?

    I don't have any big tire shops or 4X4 shop local. I bought from National Wheel and Tire. I bought 33 10.50 TSL radial and saved $100. The guy at the local shop laughed at me when I asked him what all I got for $700. And then replied, "The tires. Mounting and Balancing is extra." The...

    Nebie Welding tips needed

    A big thing that most people that weld alot forget to tell someone that doesn't know. You are welding with the puddle, not the arch(flame). I've tried to help a couple of people that are just starting out and it always seems like it takes them a while before they can see anything but the arch...

    super charger?

    ROOTS(eaton style) BLOWERS AND CENTRIFIGAL BLOWER ARE DIFFERENT. They make power in different places in the RPM range by different means. If you stay with 6-8lbs of boost you should do fine without an intercooler/after cooler. The only reason you should have vacuum problems is if you have a...

    super charger?

    Powerdyne is a good head unit as long as you don't overspin them. They have ceramic bearings which means no oil. It also means that it doesn't raise the air charge so much. They have an internal belt, but if you break it there is a kevlar replacement you can buy and if you are mechanically...

    super charger?

    Centrifigal supercharges are as good as any. It all depends on what you want. Centrifigal builds more boost with more RPM. A roots style builds boost more like a turbo. Superchargers do generate more heat, but it is more to the air intake charge than to the overall running tempurature...

    Acetone will increase gas mileage?!?!?

    Re: Acetone will increase MPG?!?! All this talk of why isn't it in there already. When most soccer mom's or yuppies shop for gas do you think they care what is in it? Most of the time when you shop for gas what do you look for in your fuel? How come some companies sell 93octane and some only...

    Engine Bogg, Backfire Through Intake

    I noticed no one answered you. So I'll try and make you feel better. I would say you are on the right track. Backfire through the intake is most likely a lean condition. I would start by getting the pressure checked.

    Acetone will increase gas mileage?!?!?

    Re: Acetone will increase MPG?!?! I had looked into this a while back as an alternative to race fuel. There is a lot of information out there. I think turboford.com or something like that where there are a bunch of turbo mustang SVO guys that use xylene or tulene sp? to up the octane. the...

    Has anyone had a degree shim break?

    I recently put 33s on and noticed when I turned to the left the driverside rear tire was rubbing in the back. Today I went to put bumpstops on so I can get it offroad and noticed that the back(thick)half of the degree shim was missing. I am assuming that this was letting the axle wrap and the...

    Ox locker cable movement?
