1051100 Oh yeah tug, sometimes I forget things. Just wanted to let you know that there is a dye kit with a UV light you can but to find leaks. You can probably buy for about the same cost as taking your ride to a shop. Or you can use the soap method, but be very careful, do not pump the clutch...

1051105 Your best bet would be to buy a Hyanes manual and check out the vacuum routing, as this could cause the the problem and will surely cause the O2 code. And check all other vacuum hoses also. There may be a vacuum hose routing sticker under the hood also. You must be checking the code...

1051153 I haven't ran across anything this new backfiring that wasn't vacuum or sensor related. I think that now might be a good time to take it to someone that can hook into the computer and see what's happening while it's running. I'm thinking maybe timing or computer getting bad info and...

1051186 I'd like to try and help. But first I have several questions. What size engine, what upgrades have you made, i noticed you installed a cam, what size. It seems that everyone was on the right track, but I feel as though something is being over looked. Sometimes when you have a problem...

1051285 My .02 worth. My first thought was that maybe you didn't break in the new cam properly, but then you said that you ran it one night and it didn't do and the next night it did. So I have to assume that the cm is ok. Now the next thing is: 99% of the time when someting is running fine...

1051335 My son had a 2wd and it go treated like a 4x4. You are right they can take a beating!!! If the 4x4's are anything like the 2wd man that'll be a tough truck!! No answer though just running my mouth.[addsig]

1053693 The man above is correct. Most times this will be the problem, and sometimes this will cause a hard start problem and on older models could cause a no start. However, it is usually best just to replace the PCV valve as it doesn't cost much. Also, be mindful that spraying card cleaner...

1053694 Hey tug, yeah man remove the covers, not that hard and you'll be glad you did. My son works at a quick lube place and I let him do mine. I was afraid to ask what he put in it. But I trust him so it should be ok. Good luck hope the weather stays pretty for ya up there!!![addsig]

1053697 My .02 worth. On all the above. I'm certified in brakes and thes are my thoughts. The brakes are one of the most important parts and most critical, ALWAYS replace when in doubt. NEVER rig anything on brakes. ALWAYS use the right fluid. When making your own brake lines be sure to use the...

1053698 Did yo do any work on it before this or did it just start out of the blue? I am curious as I have never seen this. Please, if already repaired post the problem and what solved it. That's how we all learn, even mechanics.[addsig]

1053707 Aw comon Tug...look at the bright side it won't be a different world next time!!![addsig]

1053864 Double check your timing. Make sure you didn't cross any plug wires. If these two check out you might try a fuel volume test. If you have a manual it should tell you how much fuel should be pumped out for a given time. But I suspect timing mostly. Good luck.[addsig]

1053867 I don't doubt your work. I just get wound up sometimes. Sometimes people will do amazing things to vehicles. You would have to see some of the things I see to believe it. I just rant sometimes in hope that somebody will pay attention. There are even mechanics out there that should'nt be...

1053869 Tug, you sound like a good person. If I get the chance this summer you can bet I'll be asking for a tour. I live just south of Memphis so I'm not too far. Hope I get the chance.[addsig]

1054021 Oh tug, so sorry!!! But like the others I think it also goes to the heater/ac door or switch. You're moving along pretty good. You'll be finished before long.[addsig]

1054023 I guess my queston would be, does it have compression? This is the reason I ask. The cylinder walls are actually sealed with oil, along with the rings. If the carb dumps too much gas down there it will wash all the oil off and then you don't have any or little compression. I'd have the...

1054024 Oh yeah, one other thing. If the plugs that are now in the engine have been gas soaked, replace them. Because they may or may not work.[addsig]

1054025 Mudder you have to ways of doing this. One is to make her think it was her idea. or two you mention so often that eventually she'll ask what happened to the sliding glass door. I tried number two on my wife with a boat, it took several months but one day we came home from the lake and...

1050795 Hi all. Been visiting this site for quite some time now and finally registered. Got my first Jeep. Man, didn't know what I was missing. Shoulda bought one when I bought my Ram. My son originally owned the jeep. He finally talked me into trading, man did I ever get the best of this...
