Could it be the computer opening the throttle plate wide open to correct for some mixture abnormality?
I believe that would produce the sound you are hearing.
I’m a fan of the OE rims. The 16” ones on the early 100s in particular are functional and so cheap they’re practically disposable, but they don’t need to look that way. I scored some on FBM for next to nothing, but they were covered in...
The speed sensor and splines are two completely different issues.
To remove the rusted in speed sensor the hub has to be removed and the sensor then pounded out from the inside. The spline condition will be observable during hub removal.
I did the 10% underdrive on my 2002 and it made all the difference in the world driving in mountains, in the east anyway. RPM`s increased by only 400 and no change in fuel milage. My loaded weight is 7600 lbs.
Now I can make it up about 3/4 of...
Check your front axle splines and drive flanges. Sounds like one or both axles splines are stripped.
Spinning axle splines would produce the sounds you are hearing and trigger the lights you are seeing.
Correct, they are studs that are screwed in. You should be able to remove the old ones from the old hub by locking two nuts together on the studs and wrenching them loose with the wrench on the inner one.

Found myself with a cross threaded lug nut today. I knew it wasn’t coming off, so I just hauled on it until it broke. Here is how to fix that:
1. Toss out and replace lug nut
2. Remove lug stud, press in new one...
well, I was hoping there would be some recommendations, but the issue didn't reoccur yesterday. Over the past few days I've been doing some fence work at my parent's house and have been driving through a muddy ditch to get closer to where I'm...
I did cut mine but I installed the 2003+ version arb on my 2002. Maybe the older version didn't require it the cutting? Different mounting system perhaps?
You are right. I checked out the instructions and only the lower part that extends below the frame needs to be removed. Sorry for misleading the OP; It's been years since I mounted the thing.......
For an ARB bumper, and probably most after market bumpers, those pads have to be sawed off anyway.
You could dpwnload the installation instructions for any bumper you might be interested in to verify.
I had the same one break on mine. I was able to drill it out using right angle attachments, etc, but it was next to impossible because of lack of work room. A few months ago I replaced my master cylinder booster unit and when I had it out I was...
This is a great way to do it but unless it’s some special vehicle or has sentimental value to the owner it makes no sense to do this much work. I would just cut my losses, drive it as is or sell it and get a clean rust free vehicle. You CANT...
