Thanks a lot...I'll check it out!

I have a 1996 Pathy and it is coming up with a P0141(O2 Sensor B1S2 Heater Problem)...I am assuming this means a bad oxy sensor front/right side...I looked it over and there is a heat shield partially covering it...Has anyone else had to change one of these?...Do you just bend the shield back or does it require removal? Will an oxygen sensor socket work with this?....Any instructions would help greatly...Thanks...Feel free to email at ardavis78@live.com

POOP!!! There's the drivers fender I need!!!

Mine has a lil rust on it...tryin' to figure if it'll be cheaper to fix and paint what I've got or buy a used one and just paint it...thanks a lot!!! ardavis78@live.com

I have a '96 w/ the ol' epileptic tach issue...did they still have this problem in '96?

I seriously hate those rusty corner pieces...grrrr

Thanks a lot for your help...If anyone has more opinions, keep 'em comin'...thanks again

My struts and shocks are shot, so I was looking into a lift. AC has a few different options and I've heard Rancho struts are the way to go over KYB. I work at an auto parts store and in the Rancho catalog, it says the struts offered by AC are for a stock susp. w/ no lift. I only go off road and play occasionally. Why can't I just buy stock Monroe struts for the front and longer travel Ranchos for the rear? I really don't need a high-performance strut cuz I'm not off road much. Gimme your opinion...I'm open to suggestions. Thanks a lot!!! (I've asked a cpl. of people on here personally, I'd still like their opinions too...thanks again!!!)

I live in NW Ohio and recently took my Pathy to get all of this fun stuff fixed. I had a leaky w/p so they replaced it. Also replaced timing belt, hoses, t-stat, cam and crank seals, belts, etc. It cost me $275.00 w/ tax for labor and $125.00 for parts. I thought that was fair. It took 'em a day...prolly woulda taken me 2.

The 2 prong coolant sensor I changed was on the thermostat housing. 19mm wrench is all you need. Cost bout 20 bucks.

I'll give 'em a try! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks a lot...keep the ideas coming tho...I need all the ideas i can get.

Thanks for the input! Is this common for them?

I've got a '96 Pathy w/ approx. 125,000 miles on it. My gas mileage never was that great, but I am recently getting about 10 -11 mpg. I just replaced my plugs and air filter(K&N). I thought that would make a big difference because the gap was approx. .080 on the old plugs(new are gapped @ .040) ,but nothing. I know about the oxygenated gas in the winter, but this is awful. My check engine light isn't on and the truck runs very well. Any hints maybe? I even installed manual hubs too. Any little tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well, VSicks is wearing this post out too...Just like the last gun control post...He lives on the other side of the globe, but knows all about our country...I can't quite figure that out...

I'm gonna go take a nap.

Shake 'n' Bake, Man!!!

I said the LAWS are stupid...not the seat belts themselves. We should be smart enough to wear our seatbelts and helmets on our own. I don't need my hand held through life...I'm a big boy now. Drunk driving is NOT ok. This argument is becoming silly now. When you drink and drive, you put others in danger. When you don't wear your seatbelt or bike helmet, you ONLY put yourself in danger. People need to take responsibility for their actions...not practice passing the buck.

I'm not gonna cite from anywhere...I can simply see how our government works and how the domino effect happens...

I'm only 29, but in my short time on this planet, I've realized how many of our freedoms are being taken away. This really isn't even about guns totally. It's about things like motorcycle helmet laws and seatbelt laws. I live in Ohio. No helmet law. But Michigan has one. In all of the states you have to wear a seatbelt(I think). I understand that helmets and seatbelts save lives....a lot of lives each year and normally i wear them both. But the lawmakers and a-hole politicians think they have to save our lives and guide us through life like we are morons. They really don't care. It's all about the almighty dollar. Revenue. Easy money from fines. But thats their way of sugar coating it for us so they look like caring people. Seat belt laws are stupid. Do any of you realize how many kids each day ride school busses without seatbelts...for hours at a time. But that's different though....RIGHT?!?!?! If you don't want to wear a helmet or seatbelt...no one should force you. It's totally your decision on how safe you want to be. All of this nit-picking, little by little, will come to a head some day. Lemme hear a reaction. Ok ....aaaannnd I'm spent!!!!

Parents!!!! Oh don't get me started on the parents whom they OR their child never is at fault. Always the teachers or video games or movies or the medias fault somehow. Idiots who don't know how to discipline or lock up a gun!!!!

I ended up getting Kumho Road Venture KL-78 tires. Cheap($115 ea.), fairly aggressive, yet quiet. Very light dub rub at full lock. I haven't got a chance to go play yet. We'll see. Thanks for all the info everyone!!!

Screw gas mileage...let's talk more about these street drugs/narcotics and how they are made...LOL

It's cake to do!! So easy a caveman could do it! I just put my new hubs, wheels and tires on. Looks great!! Took me like an hour and a half. I'll try to get some pics soon. Maybe a lift soon. I dunno.
