    Auto Trans ID

    Does your truck currently have a V4AW3 ? I was under the impression that the 3.0L was all AW372 (V4AW2/KM148 variation)... I could be mistaken.

    Gen 3 - KYB G-A-J vs Bilstein 4600 with stock coils

    KYB are really harsh on a Gen 3. I went this route first and after 5K miles swapped to Bilsteins. You do know that you "old" stock springs are all sagged out after 15 years (or more).

    which engine? no change history? Long tow miles cost $ even with AAA etc. If its not a 3.0l its an interference engine. A belt visual gives only indication of a totally shot belt. 3 things can go out : Tensioner (screws valve timing - valves to piston introductions generally are not happy)...
