rear main seal.

if you are going to take it all apart I would disconnect the high pressure lines from the pump down and pull them out a little bit before you disconnect them at the rack. otherwise it's tight, real tight. soak them with blaster and hope you dont strip them in the tight area. if you can get a...

Very Nice :thumb3:

I'll get some pictures this afternoon and see if there is more evidence in the cylinders...

Should I be concerned when I pulled my plugs last night to change them out that one plug is completely clean and doesn't look like its fired even after 30k miles? I should also note that was the plug where I tore the wire boot off and got the electrode thing stuck on the spark plug, so I am...

1996 SR5 4x4 with factory e-locker with 172786. not bad for 17 year old Arizona car I thought when I got her about 6 weeks ago. Its my dd too.

oh good! thank you, that will save me a lot of trouble.

similar question I have a question related to yours if you don't mind me adding to your thread. I too had to tighten down my valve covers almost full 2 turns and spec them, but I think it didn't completely fix the problem and probably should replace them. but when I go in to replace them...

Yes, they are also sometimes under Pinon bellows, most are under 20 bucks. I think some as cheap at 10 bucks. it stinks though because you have to separate the inner and outer rod ends to get them on. Make sure you mark your thread count or you will mess up your alignment.

I just finished this job, mine was leaking out the sides of the rack so much that my end boots were filled with fluid and would slosh around if you squeezed them. I thought it was leaking up top too off the rack but traced it back and it ended up being just when I was putting fluid in it was...

Mine is leaking pretty bad too, I will see what you end up doing to see what I should do. I have 172k miles but don't know how long it's been leaking for or what kind of damage has happened since then. I looked up OEM at auto recycling and it was just over 100 bucks pulled from a similar year...

any idea on the cost of calibration? I will eventually need this but don't want to burned since I have never had it done

Agree. Getting ready to change mine and decided to save the money and get the regular denso ones. I would only go that route if you forget about your plugs for longer than regularly scheduled time frames.

Doh! thanks, yeah it was late at night research so.. yeah... probably got my numbers wrong. I will probably go with the 883/890's then since eventually in the next year I hope to have an aftermarket bumper. I can live with it for a little while like that.
