That's a little difficult to say. We'd need to at least know the inlet & outlet size needed & whether you want single/dual inlet/outlet.

If you're only looking for sound, you need only to look at replacing the muffler. A Flowmaster 40 series should give you a good rumble. The 50 series is a bit quieter. Dynomax also makes a Super Turbo muffler that I've heard sounds good. All these mufflers are not vehicle specific - and many here run them. If you're looking for performance as well, a full exhaust overhaul with Throley headers, 2-1/4" pipe, and new muffler will increase performance and sound quite a bit. No matter what you do, you're not going to get the rumble/sound from a V8. It'll still rumble a bit and rip awfully nice at higher RPM's, though.

I've owned two in my life...but only one at the moment. Got rid of my '89 for a Bronco...biggest vehicle mistake of my life. When opportunity knocked, I kicked down the door and bought my '95. Glad to be back in a reliable rig. I don't think I'd own two...I am in the market for a cheap fuel-efficient car at the moment, though. This 15MPG stuff is killing me! Gas bill last month was nearly $400. Ouch.

The weekend of Nov. 12th should work for me. I'm headed down to Idaho this weekend. Oliver...I'm sure you've checked your voltage coming to the light. Dropping bulbs does have a tendancy to affect their performance. Lotsa rags & engine degreaser where needed should help your situation. You can also take it to one of those "self wash" places and hose down the engine compartment (minus critical systems / electrical) with a pressure washer.

Maybe if you take more drugs, it won't matter anymore. Or wear BF earplugs. You might want to try a 50/50 holy-water to anti-freeze mix.

I would add that if the manufacturer's application notes do not mention the year, it's likely that it will not work for some reason. In the case of headers, it could be due to a different bolt pattern, intake arrangement, not enough room, or simply that "too much" customization is needed to get them to go in. I would note that Throley makes two separate types of headers - one for '86-'89 & one for '90-'95. Pace Setter has a similar setup. They're doing this for a reason. Unfortunately I don't have a FSM for pre-90's 'Finders, so I can't say for sure about specific differences.

Agreed. I'll try not to let that pesky thing that pays the bills get in the way next time. Maybe in a couple weekends? Does the ORV park close for winter...it's feeling like snow could come our way any day now. If u want, I've got a laptop & card reader...we could hook up tomorrow night or something. Lemmeno...

^^^^He has drugs with scuff plates drawn on them^^^^ I want what he's having. Where does Dowser come up with this stuff??

That's a bummer about the damage, Oliver. Fortunately nothing major...I'm sure any of us would be willing to help if needed. ....Thursday...pictures...just 27 hours, 58 minutes, 15 seconds away... Arrrg...his computer won't be ready at midnight...strike that...more like 37 hours, 57 minutes, 27 seconds...26 seconds..25...24........can't wait...must hurry...

We've chatted about this...but I would concur with the price thing. I don't know that $120 more for better heat retention is a great deal. I figured they're going to be moving the same amount of engine heat better with a 2-1/4" collector & more flow efficient design than the relatively restrictive stock manifold & 2" pipe. The biggest factor for me going with the non-ceramics was the welding issue. I have to have a custom x-pipe for my AT and will likely need to weld the x-pipe directly to the headers. If I had a MT, I would've considered the ceramics 'cause I could've gone with the provided x-pipe bolted to the rest of the system. If heat becomes a big problem for me...$120 can buy me a pretty good fan!

Yeah...I suck. Actually, work sucks. Wish I coulda' been there. We'll catch up next time. I wanna see the pix!

You could buy a decent vehicle cover for the price of 1-2 months shelter rent. Something to think about because it can be used year after year and could be thrown up to do a quick repair in the rain/snow. I would also recommend checking into local ordinance as to how many cars in your yard is too many. Technically it's private property and unless you're running a business...there shouldn't be a problem with three cars. Now, if you have engine's & trannys & blow up dolls for lawn decorations..

Not sure what you're getting at here...it sounds like transmission but I think we need clarification. Are you saying that D/1/2/R are not working at all in any gear? How many miles are on the rig? If the truck doesn't roll in neutral...it's almost sounding like catastrauphic failure of the tranny. Was there a noise or a boom or something?

CaseyT...I just called Jeff down there and he said he's got bungs. I'm thinking of going with the Bosch Universal (Part#15726) at Schuck's online...they've got 'em 10% off online (pick up in store) or around $40. The OE is $117...for $75 in savings, I can justify splicing 3 wires. I could prolly find it cheaper online...but with shipping it's nearly a wash. I've looked underneath and I think I've only got one O2 sensor pre-cat. Couldn't find anything rear of the cat...it's just a straight shot into the muffler. Update: $47.84 exactly - to be picked up in the store

Was surfing the web & found a post in the WD21 forums about common issues on our trucks. One of them was that automatic locks have a tendancy to unlock themselves for no reason at all! I have been going crazy because I've SWORN that I've locked my truck only to come back to find it unlocked. I thought someone had my same wireless remote code ( )...or even worse...my age-of-senility ( :confused: ) has hit me WAAAY early...or all those drugs ( ) & binge drinking really did have a long lasting impact. Come to find out...I just gotta replace some POS plastic parts on the lock cylinders. Ahhhh...now I can better.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I want *all* the old crap out. I'll make sure I pick up a bung...just to eliminate any oversights. Any recommendations on whether I should go with the Bosch OE sensor ($$$!!!) or whether a 3-wire Bosch universal will work OK since I'm doing a complete re-fab? I'm sure I can figure out the universal wiring with a MM.

My Thorley headers should be here in a few days & I'm planning a complete headers-back overhaul of the exhaust. At this time, I want to replace the O2 sensor as well. (Common sense) My question...Does the pipe where the sensor is at typically get replaced & a new hole drilled for the sensor or is the pipe section cut out with reducers installed at either end when going to 2-1/4"+ pipe? I know Nissan has a recommended re-thread tool available for the 22mm sensor which could certainly be procured & provided to my muffler man. Any thoughts on the matter?

If I'm not mistaken, stock T-Stats run around 170 degrees or so. I've seen 180's...but haven't seen any others. When I looked into this, 170 was considered low...180 medium. I'd stick with stock due to the heat...and just make sure your coolant's nice & fresh.

Huh...weird...went back and now my blob drop is on top. How odd. Once DJ & Oliver get in on this...Spokane's gonna seem like NPORA's international headquarters.

I'm in...but CaseyT's blob drop thing is hiding my blob drop. Freakin' blob drops.

I'm still technically a newbie by post count...and I happen to enjoy the "ass-hat" tangents and rediculous po-ho'ing that goes on around here. I've laughed out-loud at more posts than I can possibly count...you all be some funny peeps.

Listen to CaseyT & the others...trust me. Few hundred for a T-Belt is *much* better than $2K+ for a new engine if it breaks. If you have a shop do it...have 'em do the water pump and pull the rear T-Belt cover to check the cam seals for any leaks. Might think about having them replace your other belts when it comes back together.

I'm not an expert...but it could be a lot of things. Likely suspects would be a need for a tune up, O2 sensor, or possibly bad/loose wiring in one of the engine/sensor harnesses.

That's crazy...I think I'd rather be hit by a car at 40MPH while walking than be in that thing in a crash. Yikes.

Lawsuits for spilling hot coffee on yourself. Oh...wait...that's all ready been thought of.
