Did they pull the schematic using your VIN#?

So once this is all done, if I hooked a hoist to your front bumper and lifted up the front of your truck, what will be holding this whole new assembly from dropping down?

If you can please post a pic of the front with the wheel off. Thanks!

What’s next then? Control arms?

Do you have a photo of this thing ?

So are you getting rid of the stock control arms entirely then, or modifying them? Wait....I get it now. You’ve completely eliminated the IFS and changed to a solid front axle, right? What I can’t see is how it has any shock absorption incorporated into it.

What is the overall objective for the project in these photos? I like the clock.

I get it but it might be worth a try vs. the work involved otherwise. The person is saying they don’t have the tools or the space to attempt the proper repair.

Random thought, and I’ve never attempted or even thought about the job before, but could you lower the pan just enough to try and re-seal it without fully removing it? Seems like you’d need like 1/8 or 1/4 inch to squirt in a new bead.

Where on the vehicle is the air actually drawn in from the outside?

I’m certainly not the expert when it comes to this stuff but with a Sport, you don’t have any of the trucks referenced in this guide. I’ve robbed a few random parts from a Sport for my gen 2.5 (abs wheel speed sensor, electric fan, MAF sensor) and I remember some similarities but they are...

I’ve never done the trans swap but many people here have. Still, I know it’s a big job and not one I’d do if I had a trouble free trans even with higher mileage.

Why do the work of swapping a perfectly good transmission? These transmissions are known to last a long time. I’d maybe keep a known good transmission as a spare just in case, but since the two jobs can be done separately, why not put another 100k on the current trans and see what happens.

Just swap the engine not the trans....you can do that in a week or less....unless you know the donor body has a bad trans.

Repaired the flex pipe flange on the upstream side of the downstream cat. I used one of those two piece generic flanges from NAPA for the first time. Worked great.

I was hoping someone knew where the vent connects under the dash and if it is accessible from underneath.

I was working on my dashboard area and I lost two philips bits into the windshield / dashboard vents. I heard them roll a little after they went in. I fished around with a magnet on a stick but no luck. Anyone know if there is an easy way to recover them?

What’s the exhaust shop suggesting? Only thing I can think of would be making sure all the rubber mounts are correct......exhaust systems are made to “float” and move a little. Make sure nothing is hard mounted to the frame.

Too bad they didn’t put a little more effort into it. A webcam on a stick might have shown more detail.

I don’t believe you need a part number, your local auto parts store should be able to sell you a piece of hose to match. If it’s leaking on the top side, before you do anything else, trying trimming 1/4” or so off the end and reattach it. Might work, it’s usually the ends that get stretched...
