What can I expect that swap to cost?

I appreciate the info. That increased mileage mess sounded like a myth.

Anyone have any experience swapping your auto hubs over to manuals? I've been doing a little reading and can't tell if that applies to my 95 v6. Someone in another thread mentioned better fuel mileage. Is that possible? Why?

Have you checked to see if you had 1 or 2. i'm assuming the CA's have 2, one before the cat and 1 after. my 95 3.0 had the one before the cat

I'd buy it

thanks for the info. theres alot of advice and info for the 4th and 5th gens, but not much on how using synthetic in the 2gen 3.0.

I've got a 95, 3.0 that I cannot seem to keep from overheating. I have replaced the water pump, cap, thermostat, had the radiator cleaned and checked for leaks, and made sure that all my connections were tight. What I'm seeing now is metallic specs in the collant. I also heard some "clanking"...

Probably would have been helpful to include that (newbie). Its a 95, v6, 4x4, 162,000 mi. Originally what happened is I started losing a lot of coolant. Diagnosed the problem as a blown head gasket. Ended up being a warped head, they resurfaced the head, and amid all of that the mechanic called...

Ive noticed lately that when i start to climb a log hill, the vehicle downshifts from overdrive and i can feel an immediate loss in power. when i press the gas the rpm's go up but the response in power isnt there. i just had the engine rebuilt about a month ago, as well as a new cat, o2s, plugs...
