CALPATHY

Another 97' SE with 5 speed. It did take me a while to find it, most around here had automatics.

I get the same mileage with 31s. I just installed the Warn hubs, but haven't gone through a full tank yet to find out if it helped. It sure coasts better with the Warns and seems to be a little quieter.

I like blackwalls out, especially with the Dunlops that I inherited when I bought the Pathy.

If nothing else, WD40 will work.

The first results are in: 14 city driving, 18 mpg on the highway. I think I will add those Warn hubs!

We don't have any of them where I live, but I just went to their online store and found something that will do temporarily in the ATV section. Thanks.

Precisely what I am after. Did you fab that yourself or not?

I meant the swing out spare tire carrier. Where do you guys carry spare fuel?

I am ready to take my Pathy on dirt, but trying to figure out where to stow spare gas. It seems a good place would be on the spare tire hanger. Does anyone make a jerry can rack for the spare tire hanger?

Water pump bearing?

This one I like, thanks

No worries. This manual is a lot better than the Hanes.

BTW, you should download a manual for your Pathy here: Pathy manuals

I don't think so. If you have an SE model then you should have the limited slip. Also, there was a tag on my diff that said to use limited slip gear oil only. Lastly, if you jack up the rear end and turn the wheel if they both turn in the same direction it is a limited slip, if they turn opposite direction it is not.

After reading on this forum (and the manual): Engine 5-30 Manual trans: 75-90 GL4 only, didn't look up AT since I don't have it Front and Rear diff: 80-90 GL-5 if you have a limited slip then it needs to meet the spec for limited slip Transfer: ATF Dexron I just replaced all of mine with synthetic, Castrol 5-30 for engine, Redline MTR 75-90 for trans, Redline 75-90 for diff and synthetic ATF Dexron III for transfer. It may be my imagination but my Pathy seems quieter. I am not sure if the synthetic is hype or not, but thought I would give it a try (albeit an expensive one).

Factory says don't do it. Search on this forum showed that some people have used Seafoam (I think). Mine runs fine so I am not going to mess with it.

In the same manual (for which you gave a link) it says it hooks up directly.

How much for the bridge? It wouldn't have been just for that, but those instruments would have talked me into it since the installation would have so easy. vengeful Posted on Feb 12 2007, 11:47 AM Or, you could do it the cool way and put the 3 gauges up your A-Pillar.... That was my original intention. I may ge the Scan Guage later, after the guages and Warn hubs.

Thank you for all the responses, I took a look at at the Scan Guage II and it doesn't have oil pressure reading, something I would like to have and the Dashhawk does, but I am not sure if the Pathy sends that information. Would anyone know what information does the OBDII send (in 97' Pathy)? BTW, I am not relly looking for performance enhancement features (I really could care less about the 1/4 mile readings), I would just like to have all instrumentation (WT, OP and Voltage) in units, rather than some arbitrary mark or curve.

Has anyone installed a Dashhawk on a 97' Pathy? Dashhawk If so, is it worth the money and what kind of info does it show? Thanks in advance.

LOL, I am still not used to mine and walked right by it the other night because it looked black and it didn't register that it was mine.

It will be a business truck part of the time and off-road vehicle part of the time. I have a lot of dirt roads nearby and plenty a little further away. Just started on the 120,000 service. That #6 plug sure is a pain!

Cool, I sail out of there on occasion.

Yup, that is exactly what it was. I had the tires re-balanced and switched fronts and rears; no more shimmy at the steering wheel and a lot less noise! Supposedly they were way off on the balance. I am a happy camper! -bounce-
