Ouch on the price. When I add all the goodies I'd want $1200.

I thought I'd post a followup. The alarm store took it all out for $35. It now starts without the slight hesitation (half second or so) it always had when turning the key. This should have been done right when I bought it.

Thanks guys. After looking at wiring under the dash I talked to an alarm store owner and he said he could disable it. I don't want to mess with it. Then I will put in a fuel cut off switch.

My 91 runner has a MaxiGuard 3 alarm for which I have no remote for. If I disable the battery it will set off the alarm when I reconnect power. This requires a juggle of button pushing and key turning till it will start and I haven't nailed down the sequence, I just get lucky eventually. I hate...

I never said poly doesn't work, and I'm sure you have wonderful pictures of your truck perhaps even award winning. What I did say was rubber has more give and a smoother ride because of it. Given the life of a set of new bushings I'll most likely never need to replace them again. For my needs...

I was only quoting uppers as I said in post 10. Mevotech? OK... then go with the raybestos for $111, either will last MANY miles over wore out ones....

My 91 v6 is very slow. However it's also not my daily driver and I don't care. This is my slow down and explore truck. Off road it has PLENTY of get up and go. I have 4.56 gears, 32 tires.

I don't like poly bushings for off road. They don't have the same flex as rubber and give a harsher ride. Granted that might be great for a street car but when rough stuff is concerned give me rubber, even if they do wear out faster. That's of course just my opinion for the sake of open dialog...

Control arms at Rock Auto are 109 each with bushings and balljoints. Ready to bolt on. The Bushing and ball joints add up to $75

I found that buying the upper control arms new, with ball joints and bushings already installed, was almost the same price as the parts alone (ball joints and bushings alone). That way I also had no need to mess with replacing the bushings, just unbolt old, instal new, get alignment.

I'd pay for a diagnostics at this point. $100 to get the answer would be worth it.

Any chance you unplugged the plug that goes to the air box? Mine did that till I remembered that plug. Fired right up after.

Rant on: I wish more would understand and get HAM instead. Rant off, carry on... :confused:

Nice... I'll back, off to the garage. :bravo: I'm back... went from 7 ish to 3 ish seconds.

Someone is cranky today.
