Had the dubious pleasure of swapping out the track bar in the MJ today and remembered several messages bemoaning the cost of the whole part. Stealer wanted $185 for it, calling around located a new one at Advanced Auto for $58. Made by TRW, part # DS1147 for the 86 - 92 XJ or MJ. Best price I had...

Hi. I have a 92 sidekick 4door 4x4 w\Automatic. I think my ecm brain may be bad. There is this guy on e-bay selling (Fix it yourself Kits) He mentioned you didn't even have to locate your old one. So I'm thinking what he sells must plug into somthing that makes the engine run again without touching...

Hello I am in the process of droipping a cummins 3.9 into a range rover and for the moment have the chance to play around with the gearing. Would appreciate advice on the best economy option. Best guess, based on figures from friends is that 43hp is needed to go at 65mph allowing for wind...

Hi! Sorry for my lack of knowledge here, but I want to pick everybody's brains about this. I recently purchased a 2001 Rodeo V-6 Automatic and whenever I start it for the 1st time in a day it wants to die. If I step on the gas a couple times, it revs up to about 2000rpm then settles down a...

Well, I know that I would like either a "2001 Nissan Frontier 4x4 XE" or a "2001 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner XE". I am not that concerned with the color. Why the XE? I like the black wheel wells, instead of the color-coded ones. Why the Desert Runner(2x4)XE or the 4x4 XE? I like the higher...

My driver side brake pad wears down in approximately 2-3 months (the outer pad)' Could this be due to a faulty calpher????? Could the piston not be working???? The last time I had it off, I checked the piston and it went in out when I applied pressure to it. If that is not the problem then what...

I have been having problems with my truck cranking occassionally. No codes are being produced for the computer to read. Could this be a glow plug problem? I am also beginning to notice other electrical accessories like the digital millage gauge not working

Hi, My 96 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 (it actually uses 97 factory parts) just shut off on me while driving on the local road today. When I crank it it does sound like it is going to catch - a couple of times it actually catches for a couple of seconds then shuts off. We thought it was the crankshaft...

I am looking to buy a nice 1999 to 2002 4Runner with under 70000mi, and i would like to find out if there is any known issues i should be aware of. Is there one year better than others? Thank for the help

Hey all, Thanks in advance for any and all advice. I love, love, love my Jimmy, but lately, it has decided to become high maintainence. We just replaced the compressor and a/c unit a week ago, and since that fix, my engine has suddenly started acting peculiar on start-up. It turns over, but...

When I try to activate the 4WD on my 1998 Blazer by pushing the button, all I hear is a "click" coming from the front dash area and the 2WD indicator light stays on. No 4WD.

I am putting this truck back together literally. The wiring hornes to the starter goes where. There are two studs on the silonoid. Also where does the red lead from the battery go to. Starter or Silonoid?
