Finally got some things fixed and she rides smooth. New 80 amp alternator, upgraded fan clutch, radiator, three engine mounts, and 3” exhaust from the turbo back with small muffler because straight pipe just sounded obnoxious. Love the results...
Anyone who has shopped for automotive event insurance in the last 4 years will have found that there are less options than there used to be and they all had giant increases over that period.
A little diagnosis on the 80...looks like cylinder #5 is the culprit...darker plug and didn't change the misfire feel when I pulled the wire from the cap to test by ear. To me, that shows no spark since it's darker, so I've ordered an OEM tune...

Crabby again for saving me from no win at the raffle
CP for the good deal on the Zarges
Bob and Matt for all...
