I have a clunk too. Mine is when I am rolling at about 10-15mph and now and then it will clunk when it shifts. Mostly in traffic. It scares me. I want my 80 to last .I am looking for a backup.
I had great plans for my 80 when I got back from theatre. When I got back I had a huge fight over...
I know this isnt real technical. But yesterday i had three striker brigade soldiers in my rig. I told them my rig was the best 4x4 ever built. They called BS. They took me to a Striker training hill on FT lewis.(training area 9) From a distance the hill looks mild. Once halfway up you get a...
My hitch setup is the 4x4 labs bumper. No trailer brakes but I was careful downhill .
The 4x4 labs bumper is tough I also buried my rig in some type 2 wetlands (swamp) on my brothers property. 2 broken tow straps. and it took 2 super duties to yank me out. But that is another story...

TreeHugger. thanks I was wondering about the ballast stuff. It does sound cool.
Julstirn....I am at the Warrior Transition Battallion waiting to get put out to pasture pretty soon. It takes at least 6mths to do the Med Board and they are trying to fix me first. I might be here awhile. I hang...
Sweet I guess I will be getting new rubber next weekend.
I just have to figure out where to drill the hole for the new valve stem for the staun beadlocks and get the rims powder coated.
Anyone use that ballast stuff to balance their tires????
I need new tires badly. Mine are like drag slicks. I have a 4" lift , and 4.88 gears planned in the near future. I was debating putting some used ones on till I lift it. I saw a thread about 6months ago where someone showed a picture of their rig with 35's and no lift... searched and could not...
Thank God for CDan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! list price 933 CDan quote 700.40
It is still more than I wanted but I will not put any used or after market junk in my baby. My Mechanic said "I dont know how you can get such a low price but I cant come close"

I might have found the problem but not sure yet.
I really wish I knew how to do the photobucket thing. I took some perfect pictures.
I was looking for the fusable links. I didnt realize they are just off the positive batt terminal. there is a black box that reads..AM1 MAIN 1.25B 2.0L two...
I am in Seattle Idaho Doug . If you stand around for more than 10 minutes moss starts to grow Thanks I will try this stuff in the morning.. I dont want to call a mechanic
Wow!!! I need to make a big list and get some stuff from C-Dan
All these little parts start adding up and the Stealership in Tacoma (Titus-Will) wants $32 bucks for my little PCV #2 hose. It has a small crack and I thought about buying it when I got my spark plug wires but it wasnt in stock...
Yes this genious though it would be a great idea to pressure wash the engine compartment. I wanted to make sure there was no salt in there from when I went Razor clam hunting in Ocean City Washington. I might have overdone the wash.
After clam hunting one of the Soilders wifes said she loved...
Alright this is a real newbie question .... How do you tell if the Main EFI fuse is blown?????
And in the FAQ troubleshooting guide it says"if no check engine light when the key is turned to on then the fuel injection system, more specifically the ECU is not powered."
Well now what should...
Started the checklist and I am senario 3(turn key,engine turns over but does not run)
I have no engine light when I turn the key.
All fuses by driver knee are good
getting late will try to figure something out tomorrow.
This is my daily driver my van is in Montana
This should be part 2 of my shaking and sputtering thread.
After powerwashing my engine I got something wet. I tried to pull my spark plug wires but they fell apart. Some after market junk. A piece of them got stuck in #6 and had to make a hook to get it out. What a PITA. I also noticed the...
