I'd like to see how you did that, too. Mine doesn't even have the stock rack, just the brackets the thing is supposed to mount to.

Got them today. First impression is that they are extremely quiet for an AT. Handling on dry pavement is pretty good too. I think they look awesome! (I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how.)

I'm volunteering to be the guinea pig. Getting Cooper AT3's on Tuesday. I'll post my opinions here after I get a few miles on 'em.

I'd much rather have AT3's. I don't buy used tires. Thanks for the offer, though.

The Cooper rebate offer ends Nov. 7 As for BFG's, it's just that particular tire (Rugged Terrain T/A) that strikes me as gimmicky. Nothing wrong with their A/T KO or M/T.

At least you had a workout. Took months for me to figure out that the coolant temp sensor was behind an occasional flooding issue. So what do I do? Buy the sensor and torque it in to the point that it breaks in half because I'm trying to make the harness line up - DOH! $30 dollar part cost $60 because of my own stupidity.

First off, sorry to have been away - new computer, took a while to get settled in, etc., etc... Secondly, I'm looking at the new Cooper Discoverer AT3 in a stock size (P235/75/15). Anybody running these or in larger sizes? Care to bitch or praise? Any thoughts on the BFG Rugged Terrains? The BFG's look gimmicky, to me. Thirdly - I need ONE plastic hub center cap for the front, right - '97 R50 XE with chrome 15" wheels - it's the one with the hole in it for the bearing cap to stick out of. Anybody know the freakin' part # ??? Thanks! I love this forum.

*sigh* not meaning to hijack the thread... stuff like this makes me miss the bad old days when I had a '75 chevy 4x4 with a 350 - there just wasn't that much that could be wrong, and you could sit on the fender and fix most of it. Of course, it was toast after 80K, and my Pathy just tonight tripped 150K and the vacuum gauge stays rock steady at 20 in/HG!

AND it never sets a code either, even tho it's supposed to! Damn, Kingman... sorry you had such bad luck.

Definitely take some time to read that Coolant Temp Sensor under a variety of conditions - preferably with a meter that will go into Megohms. Mine was causing an intermittent flooding condition - it read okay cold or after a half hour, but after the truck had been off for 5-10 minutes, it would SOMETIMES go to 12 megs! Only figured out the problem when it started doing it consistently, and it drove me crazy for a couple months. The computer was assuming that the temp was like absolute zero and throwing a buttload of fuel at it. Mine is a '97, but I would assume, since the temp/resistance range that Terrano 1992 quotes are the same as for mine, that it's possible yours could do the same sort of thing. $30 part at autozone or advance.

I ban my1path for using "4" instead of the word "for".

Still dunno how big it is, but to me it looks like part of a throttle linkage or something - and quite possibly not yours. What looks like a washer might be the end of the ear. Maybe somebody removed it and just idly stuck it back together while figuring out how to fix it. Could also be from any ol' hoopty and just got kicked in there when you ran over it. I see strange stuff like this in the gutter all the time while I'm walking my dog - mostly wheel weights and random nuts and bolts, though. I dropped my old PCV valve while removing it and never found it - probably stuck in some grease or mud, then fell out later. Bet there's somebody else trying to figure out how it got in his motor mount.

OK - Mine is slightly newer, but apparently the cam sensor is integral to the construction of the distributor and not available separately. That said, you might be able to score a distributor cheap from a junkyard and try to extract the sensor, but it probably would make more sense just to replace the bad distributor with the junkyard one. Less work, since you'd have to pull the old one anyway.
