Had a Schrader valve added in to a spare supply line for future troubleshooting. I wish I would have had this made up a long time ago but at least I'll have it the next time I want to check fuel pressure. Schrader valve from Summit Racing and thanks to a local fabricator.

I was looking at a 1997 LS and on the right rear suspension area, when you look into the wheel well area, front side of the wheel, near and behind the top of the shock tower area, there is some kind of metal box looking thing that my 98 doesn't have. On my 98 I can see clear through to the...

Does anyone have any first hand accounts of transmissions being damaged by dolly towing with rear wheels on the ground? My 98 owners manual says stay under 19mph and less than 19 miles tow distance. How serious of a warning is this? And if damage is done, what kind of damage is it? Damage that...

I've found multiple threads talking about the LS being a 3.0 SOHC. I'm looking at one that appears to be 3.5 DOHC. 6G74 on the plate under the hood. Are there some LS's out there with the DOHC 3.5? Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience running in Active Trac at highway speeds? When I've needed mine it has been for slippery conditions so never really over 55-60mph. I'm considering building a rally truck using a gen 2.5 and I'm wondering if extended runs on gravel at higher speeds is ok in that...

I'm a Mitsubishi owner posting for a friend with a Rover. What is the most common cause of overheating with these rigs? He can idle in the driveway with no overheating but cannot make it 2 miles down the road without pegging the temp gauge. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the keyless entry system (Codealarm RKE w/ security system) allows for programming more than one transmitter? I just recently restored my system and the unit I got from salvage only had one transmitter with it, and the technical bulletin that I found online doesn't detail a...

I was exercising the 4x4 system today and when I shifted into 4-low the ABS light came on. Truck seemed to shift in alright, and the CD lock light lit up normally. Took it back out of 4x4, lights turned off right away. After 2 more ignition cycles, the ABS light cleared itself. Can anyone tell...

Thought I saw a thread about this recently but couldn't find it. With no lights on and key out, if I depress brake pedal, the dash light and compass, oil pressure and voltage gauges light up (very dim). I think it's my trailer light controller, right? Can I fix it or do I need a new trailer...

I modified a bike rack to mount to the spare tire carrier. It was VERY easy and only required one small weld. All I did was cut off the original bike rack square tubing & welded on a short piece of square tubing on a 90 degree angle to mount tightly over the round tubing on the spare tire...

Added this mod prior to a big road trip. I planned on taking it out afterwards but it worked so good that I decided to leave it in. I think I spent about $40 plus a few hours to fabricate it. Cross bars are aluminum and I used self-tapping screws to put it together. Cargo net is zip-tied on...

I got sick of the useless center console black hole so I removed it and replaced it with a generic one. It works remarkably well and has made a much more useful space vs. the original. I've been using this now for over 6 months and I don't regret it one bit. The way the original was molded made...

Just a quick survey......I'm wondering at what mileages people have done routine wheel bearing service, or if you haven't done it yet, what mileage do you have? Anyone ever experience a wheel bearing failure due to lack of maintenance? I've got 198,000 on my 98 and have never touched mine. Thanks.

Maybe this is 4x4 101, but I tried putting truck in P on a super steep decline to get out and photograph approach angle. As soon as I let off the brakes and let it rest a little, I heard a noise I've never heard before. I quickly put it back in gear and didn't try it again. What's the deal?

I have a new sound that has become more frequent and I'm taking notice now. When I start the truck up I hear a whooshing sound, almost like a fan running, when I start up and it is definitely coming from the far rear of the truck. It doesn't last more than 5 seconds or so and varies in...

I am looking for a few recommendations for portable 12v air compressors. I will use it probably less than 5 times a year. Thanks!

Wondering if there is someone out there with a 1998 with 3.5L (Cali exhaust preferred) and a scan tool that does fuel trims. I would like to compare data to see if a few things my truck is doing are normal. Thanks!

Just for fun conversation: can a stock Gen 2.5 w/o lockers make it through Elephant Hill in Moab?

Noticed low voltage on the gauge last night. This has happened before, just a month or two ago. I thought I solved the problem by cleaning up some terminals. I had dimming lights at idle, slow wipers, fan, etc. Everything improved after a little cleaning, even though nothing looked very bad...

Hey, can anyone recommend a good metric flare kit maker? Thanks
