Hey guys, I'm currently getting a weird noise on my 1999 V6 2WD Automatic. Aside from the random noise that comes and goes, I don't feel any symptoms like power loss and such, what could the issue be? Sound seems pretty apparent on this link. Should I be worried? Originally I posted this on the...

Mods, I can't post in the 3rd Gen section anymore for some reason, can this be moved after I create it? I'm currently getting a weird noise on my 3rd Gen 2WD Automatic. Aside from the random noise that comes and goes, I don't feel any symptoms like power loss and such, what could the issue be...

I get that, but what I meant by the 3D print is that it would either be friction fit or something similar where modification to the current box would be unecessary.

Hey guys, was reading up on the deckplate mod and with the advent of 3D printing I got to wondering why, instead of making a hole and possibly affecting emmisions testing, has anyone tried to do an inlet that attaches to the airbox instead similar to this? From my understandng the deckplate mod...

What did you go with? What is the weight that you normally carry?

The shocks are the 5100 bought them both new together about 2 years ago from 4Wheel Parts

Hey guys, I got the 891 but feel they're far too stiff, for those who've gone from 891 to 890, did you notice a noticable difference? Was it drastically different or only slightly? I was only going to consider because when I ride on dirt roads that have those rumble strip like areas the dash...

Thanks for the suggestion but honestly it's not a big deal. I just reset the codes and drive it until just enough of the required amount of tests have been completed but just before this one pops up and it passes, then I'm good for another 2 years.

I'll definitely have to keep an eye on it then, was able to clear out the smoke by driving for about 2 hrs or so. No noticeable issues other than the P0420 code came up but that's been on there for a while, at this point I believe it's the CAT for that code since I've replaced the O2's already.

Thanks, when I did take out the old spark plug it appeared to be completely unthreaded, I felt no resistance when I turned the socket counter clockwise and it just pulled out. The new spark plug went in without issues. Can these back themselves out? I can't imaging I forgot to torque it down and...

Thanks guys, I think I found the problem, what would cause something like this? Seems to have started up once I changed out the coil pack and is quiet again but still throwing out smoke. Going to drive it a bit later tonight to try to burn off whatever fuel is left inside the exhaust

Hey guys, so I was driving home yesterday in the dead of night and all of a sudden what I thought was lifter ticks suddenly got really loud and smoke started to come out of my 99 v6. Thankfully I was fairly close to home and was able to limp the rest of the way back. I did see that it had...

Is there a way of doing that without ripping the passenger seat up?

Hey guys, for those of you who drive long distances in your cars, what do you do for for cushioning your seats? Buy newer replacements? Pillows? I drive about 100 miles a day 3 times out of the week and feel it's affecting my behind having to sit for so long. Is there anything that you guys...

What about the exposed polished end that would have touched dirt? Wouldn't I still grease that before loading it into the truck? Or just use a brush to take off the debris?
