  1. Get a High flow cat (like legally not having one!-) but you do... WI changed to no emissions on 95 and older; earlier this year!!!
  2. Hell that just means SAS... most everything is IFS due to most people driving on the damn street and needing that soft ride. aka sallies
  3. was going to say Search; haha...
  4. That just sounds like a bad Voltage Reg. in the alternator; I've been running a maxima alty with no issues for a while.
  5. you will pass the minivans once you get on the trails; sounds like you need a tune-up fo' sho'! When I hit the accelerator the truck moves, over 100 it gets a little tense but I blame the lift and tires. Buy a Z if you want to race... tickets get expensive though
  6. I have a buddy with a turbo chevette (scary @ss ride) looks like a piece o crap until the hood is popped. I only went for 1 ride and that isn't for me; like a rocket tin can.
  7. You going to race your truck, wheel your truck or just dyno it... Skip the Nismo cold air intake, you can get a snorkel for that price which gets you totally away from the engine bay. Headers, high flow exhaust are all somewhat strait forward upgrades. If wheeling get a locker as horsepower spinning tires gets you nowhere. If you want to race get a Z... Welcome to NPORA
  8. Good call; testing the motor/drivetrain/frame integrity with nitrous could be an expensive test. Not saying it wouldn't be fun though!
  9. Thats more steps than the 3 out the door with the KEY!
  10. The mass airflow sensor needs the turbulence to work properly
  11. Optional ejection seat, coffee cup heater holder Pretty sure Simon has heated seats in his
  12. Yep, and called it SAS No reason to make them; the front doesn't flex very well until you grab a torch and cut the IFS off. My buddy has them on his Sheep and they work well (not IFS)
  13. disconnect the stock cooler for sure, I run my cooler in front of the radiator; in winter I partially cover the radiator/tranny cooler and everything runs fine. If I didn't cover it I would never get heat!-)damn thing would run too cool. But never shifting issues.
  14. You can get all you drivers for your machine right off dells website, just put in the machine service tag# and it will list all you drivers. I hate computers But it's a living... At least you don't have a broken wristed Mac... I do miss the unhappy face when the old ones crashed though!
  15. Dig a tunnel!-) Works everywhere else
  16. pulling them off to clean, and seal them is a good idea, but here in Da Cheez (WI) we get pulled over for it (I put my stock tires back on to get by. Pathy looks more like a Jap-Jeep without flares, I like them on but need to find some aftermarkets to fit. It is a good idea to clean the crap out at least in spring and fall. Here the frame rusts before any of that!-)

    Seafoam

    Seafoam works well in my opinion: But when I add it to my oil before a change; I never put the engine under load (aka let it idle) After I am done draining the oil; I run some Marvel mystery oil (you can use cheap oil) thru with the drain plug still out to "rinse" more of the crap/leftover seafoam out. (a quart or 2) then fill her back up. I just refuse to run an engine under load with thinned out oil.
  18. Tetanus shot No doubt on that, add a welder if your in the midwest; I think I use a welder more than tools as it doesn't break; it just rusts
  19. Re-index, I have Calmini's and have the same lean (off a spline(or 2) on the passenger side) I haven't had time to re-index mine yet
  20. Don't need no stinkin' Status

  21. Thanks B! Seriously never seen one; was looking at th front ones on my parts pathy and as i touched it; it fell off. I'll just leave the stock ones on for a while, saving up for another truck. (from out west or down south with real frame so i can maybe SAS one as my next project)
  22. I have yet to lay my eyes on this bumpstop thing you speak of!-)

    Seafoam

    I guess in a warm climate 30 would work; I wouldn't here though as cold starts would be abusive until the syrup started to warm and flow
  24. can't sand/scrape the inside frame of 15 years of crap we hit that subject here... fliud-film the roads are where the salt is, flush those rear rails before the salt starts flying
