Try to keep the hose from the block to the can from rising very far, a couple inches at most. And it is advisable to go with a slightly larger hose. This will keep it working as efficiently as possible.

The only side effect can see is it will lower the octane a fraction and gasoline. I don't think that will affect our low compression engines though.

You need to reset the ECU and then complete a full drive cycle for the light to stay off. The sensor could be working fine, but the ECU just knows that last time it performed a system check it wasn't working fine.
The joys of OBD2 cars.

The VIN plate only lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Which is the total weight the vehicle was designed to carry (includes weight of the truck, passengers and cargo). It's 5150 lbs for my '92. I have no idea what the empty curb weight is.

Honestly, the only tip I can give you is try talking nice to it. It's worked for me. And I'm not joking.

He was just trying to up-sell you a set of wheels instead of just tires.
This is one reason I like Discount Tire. When I worked there, the sales guys were the seniors on the tire changing floor on a rotating schedule. They did not get commission and only recommended what they believed was best for you.

I don't think spacers and washers are hardened at all. They are supposed to be flexible and absorb any shock. Hardening them will only increase their brittleness.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING!

I don't have 31's and have never wheeled.

You got a busted switch.

I've dealt with some race cars that use archaic spacers for alignments. We would align them, torque the bolts, then wrap the spacers with duct tape and mechanics wire. They never came out unless you wanted them to.

How cold is this place going to be? You want to make sure you stay warm, but you don't want to sweat. If you sweat, you will freezzzzeee when on the chair lift.
top: I always take thermal underwear, t-shirts, wool sweater, light hoodie, and my snowboarding jacket. You can mix and match those a ton of different ways to stay warm and stay dry.
As for bottoms, thermal underwear, sweats, light track pants and waterproof ski pants (my pants have no insulation, just weatherproof with a bunch of zipper vents). Mix and match for desired warmth.
You will NEED some warm socks. I wear Carhartt cold weather boot socks. SmartWool is considered the best, but those are twice as much as the Carhartts at $20 a pair and I don't notice any difference.
Don't skimp of gloves either. Buy a set specifially for skiing or snowboarding. They are extra waterproof which is the most necessary part for a beginner because your hands will be in the snow often. I have a pair of Burtons that have a removable wool liner.
Of course a beanie.
And, honestly, since it is your first time I would recommend some baseball slider shorts. You are going to be spending a lot of time on your ass and those will keep the soreness down.
You will notice I emphasize that you want to STAY DRY!!! When you get wet you will be miserable and you won't have any fun. Those Military mittens above would be great for hiking, but will be the worst with skiing. They will get snow on them and the heat of your hands will melt the snow and they will get soaked in minutes.

I'm on mismatched 235's and will be for a while. So, no.

IT sounds like you have an intermittent short or ground in one of your injectors causing it to either stay closed or get stuck open. Both of these will cause your oxygen sensor to read way out of it's normal range causing the ECU to think there is a fault with it.
I couldn't tell you if it was getting stuck open or closed without knowing the O2 sensor voltage while it is happening, though.
If the voltage is high (.9-1 volt) then an injector is stuck open. If the voltage is low (0 volts) then an injector is stuck closed.

Well, something was most likely tweaked, but unless you bust out a ruler and straight edge you aren't going to know what it is. Get an alignment and you should be ok.

Stay safe, brothers.

Hello! I came from a life of high horsepower, high speed, corner carvers and after buying my WD21 and finding this site I can think of nothing else than getting on the trails that lead to places not on the map. I'm pretty sure you will feel the same thing.
-
My path won't be ready for any trail runs then, but will one you of you guys swing by and pick me up on your way through Bellingham?
-
Oops. Fixed.

I would check the switch first. A short would bypass the switch and you would have no control over the wiper.
Fixed.

I would add more bolts to the pinch weld or just weld it all along it. If you do the latter, any pressure on it will be distributed to the frame rail and the entire pinch weld. That would be really effing strong.

I'm not really a fan of the French, but they know how to build a minivan right.

Nunya forgot duct-tape.

I have applied to 10 places the past 2 days. I would take almost any job right now.
