    Unusual idle after cleaning MAF and throttle body

    If anyone references this thread, I had the same issue after cleaning the MAF and throttle body (attached). I was careful not to spray too much in the throttle body, just wiped down as far as my fingers allowed to get any crud off. First initial drive, would idle around 1100-1200. But after a...

    diff drop. necessary?

    Re-bumping ^^ I'm also curious if anyone has had issues with pinion lubrication after a diff drop. I'm thinking of adding a little more fluid, but not sure if that will do more harm than good. I can't imagine it would, but hopefully someone here can shed some objective info on this.

    MPG on your 3rd Gen?

    I average 19-20 total. V6 5-speed, 1.5" lift with mild AT tires that are slightly bigger than stock. The best I got was 20.8 mostly on the highway, after I cut a 3" hole in the airbox. Still need to run through a few tanks to see if that made a difference in fuel economy, or if I just had good...

    Keep or remove the running boards?

    That's a really clean look. Any chance your buddy wants to make another pair and make some money? :becky:

    Power steering issue, maybe?

    + 1 on cleaning out the screen. It's pretty easy with a siphon or maybe even a turkey baster.

    springs/shocks

    How much lift did you get all around? I'm in the same boat as OP, I want to freshen up the springs and shocks just for the time being so I can figure out what's a better long term set up and what kind of trailing I want to get into.

    3rd. 4th. 5th gen. OEM Suspension Parts Blowout...

    I'll take a pair of UCA's for 3rd gen, if you still have any. Also looking for lower ball joints and outer tie rods if you have those. I tried PM'ing you but I think I'm too new?

    Do 5th Gen shocks and springs fit on 3rd Gen 4R's

    Do you know how much of a lift it gave you? I just picked up a 97 today and looking to freshen up the suspension, but not quite ready to dig into my pockets for a 2"+ lift, diff drop, panhard kit, etc. Thanks in advance.
