Yea that's where my mind went to. I've heard the pcv can do crazy things as well. Mine is new and functioning correctly but I read some posts about a tray below the pcv. Was thinking someone might suggest that and tell me if my symptoms sound like they may match the tray.

I should also add that it doesn't have any leaks other than a "seep" out of a power steering hose. The engine itself is bone dry.

Looking for advice on places to look BEFORE I take the plunge and remove the head. My 97 with 250k miles constantly has the faint smell of burning oil but startup and idle shows no smoke out of the exhaust. The only time I can get smoke to be visible from the exhaust is (from idle) to step on...

I appreciate the info. New to the forum. I'll catch on soon haha

I do not know how to private message but If you do please send me one with price please.

So is I saw this thread when I searched for the right flaps. I was confused on if the part number was right, meaning I didn't know if he had the right part number but wrong part or or wrong number/wrong part haha. But your sure the 76603 and 76604 are the mudflaps I need for flares and boards...

That is exactly the answer I was looking for. So front mudflaps aren't an option if you have both flares and running boards. Do you happen to know the part # to the piece that fills the gap from the flare to the running board?

Yes mine is a 1997. Thank you!

I'm in need of the front mudflaps and also the piece that "integrates" the mudflap to the running boards. Mine has fender flares. I'm seeing several options on ebay but non that are for both flares and running boards. Some listings say "with flare" and some say "with running boards". Since I...

Haha I think owning an 80 does it enough without any help! It's an addiction for sure. But it is fun.

Yes sir that was my main question is mostly about shocks. The reason for changing springs is so I can remove the spacers for now and if I add a winch later I can just put the spacers back to compensate for the sag the with will cause. I'm just looking for a better ride and I think shocks are the...

I do a small amount of rock crawling. Although that is not nearly the primary purpose of owning it, it is fun to go out to hot springs orv park occasionally. But at most it's twice a year. But for that reason and several others I want to keep it in the +3" range with 35"s

Budget isn't the issue, but wasting money is. I don't want to spent thousands when hundreds will yield the same results. On the flip side, I don't want to buy parts then not be happy and replace said parts with more parts.

I've ran bilstien on lighter trucks and heavier trucks but never the midweight area the 80 is in. They rode really nice on my 3/4 diesel but not so good on my light 2wd street truck. The main reason I'd like to do front springs is to eliminate the need for the spacer and to reduce the rake...

New member and 1st post so go easy on me. I recently sold my 100 series and got this 80 in its place. It's a 3x locked 97 model. From research on others posts I've concluded it has a 2" OME medium suspension. It has 1" spacers on the front and still "sags" down in the front. It also rides...
