I went with the pacesetters cause they'll probably outlast my truck. Yea, the thorleys are better but I'm a cheapskate and got a good deal on the pacesetters from another forum member.

if you bent a valve, you'll not have compression etc. Get to your belt and take a look and let us know what you find. Additionally, take a crack at searching on timing belt or other keywords and you'll probably find detailed procs on what's involved (don't know where they are offhand but I've done it myself a couple times)

may be a t-belt. If so, you should probably start disassembly rather than crank it. VG30's are an interference engine and you chance damaging your valves and/or pistons. Pull the fan and t-belt cover and inspect it for damage or worse. That should tell you if that was the problem and... a t-belt is fairly cheap if you're a do-it-yourself kind-of person.

the search button is your friend (though...in summary...) the thorleys are made better. the pacesetters are less expensive the thorleys don't advertise that their headers will fit on a WD21 w/ AT though some have reported that it's not an issue. Most installations have reported problems with the EGR tube fitment or crossover pite. ceramic coated is better than not (but expensive) I have a set of pacesetters in my garage that I have yet to install.

remove the E-clip from under the dust boot in teh cross member. That'll allow it to slide backwards

then TORCH THE PLACE (and dig a pit in the basement)

what she said

I say the place

aah. That explains it. I really like the TA/KO's. They still have a lot of tread and they've been daily driver since I got them and have had several trips on the rocks

you still rubbin tires even with the 3" lift?

I did that once but it unplugged. Maybe if I tied a loop or something.

nice!

I'll bet.

do tell

I had mine looped around the tire carrier when I was up at the lake. Forgot. Yanked open the tire carrier and pulled another 3 feet of wire through the gasket. I was sure I screwed the pooch but it was fine.

heheheheh.

I have BFG TA/KO's and they're a bit noisy on the road

check your harness connections also. I had a loose connection in mine. Amp was fine.

yep. Put about 25 per day on it to/from work

back to about 17mpg without dragging the boat. Usually get just over 300 before I start looking for gas.

that somehow sounds a bit perverted but I'm not sure why

you still scrounging for parts CD?

my shift levers get kinda hot too but I've never thought much about it. Of course, I just went through having to put out a fire in my carpeting caused by excessive heat.

ghosts. glad to hear she's runnin again.
