  1. When my o2 sensor was going out, it had no power under load and cel stayed on under acceleration. Might want to check it first. Intake doesn't have to be pulled to change plugs. First two plugs on drivers side go between intake runners and the back plug isn't bad with swivel and extension

  2. I'm looking for suggestions on replacing front rotors. I found some slotted and dimpled rotors with pads for $165. I've used their products before but don't know if the upgraded rotors are overkill. Does anyone have any suggestions on part store rotors that aren't junk or just upgrade and wait 10 days for the upgraded ones to ship?

  3. Check fuel pressure with engine off and on. Sounds like fuel pressure regulator flooding engine. Engine ran good after filter change as fuel system was lower pressure then built up and engine started running bad again. Ethanol gas is a killer for our older trucks. My dad's Ford F150 died and wouldn't start up. Pulled air inlet and gas smell was horrible. Checked fuel pressure and it pegged my gauge at 80psi.

  4. Sounds like alternator. I'm on my 2nd alternator in 18 months. The alternator is not making power so the truck is running off the battery. That's why it died when you unhooked cable. Research upgrading alternator for more amps. I went from 70 amp to a 90 amp Maxima alternator and it's actually cheaper than the stock replacement

  5. When making slight left hand turns in my 95 xe 4wd, the steering sticks like when a rack and pinion is going out. Only does it going left especially onto a 4 lane road, turning the steering a 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Any suggestions where to start? Hoping it's not the steering box. $$$

  6. The NHTSA is wanting Chrysler to recall certain Jeeps with fuel tanks behind the rear axle. Do you think maybe we could get a recall on our pathfinders since we have rear mounted fuel tanks and some have frame rot?

  7. Hey everyone, I was going to replace rear springs with Jeep springs if I can find some at junkyard. Only looking for stock ride height to 1 inch lift at the most. Just need more weight capacity for traveling. Will I need to modify the panhard bar mount with such a small lift?
