    Timing chain and tensioners

    So, on this subject.... I've got 230K on my Trac. Just started hearing the Startup rattle a month ago. getting louder. Would it make more sense to replace the motor & Tranny instead of pull the motor and replace the tensioners? I've been vigilant with maintenance through the years. Not...

    Swamp Trac

    My 4x4 Swamp truck bit the dust last week. 1997 Montero Sport held on for 10 years. Has anyone lifted a ST 4x4 to fit 33" or larger tires. Air intake must be a minimum of 48" from ground. Got some deep water holes on the trail to camp, South Florida. Carl

    Rough Idle, motor dies while low rpm in motion. P1121

    Yes, before i replaced the MAF, the OBD2 scanner did show multiple "misfire cylinder xxx" codes. After install and clearing errors, truck runs smooth. Out for a 3 hour highway drive for a full check out. With Gas cost today, the check ride will cost more than the repair parts. yikes...

    Rough Idle, motor dies while low rpm in motion. P1121

    Just a followup. I bought a MOTOPOWER MP69033 Car OBD2 Scanner Code Reader $21. MOSTPLUS 74-50011 Mass Air Flow MAF for $22 Both from Amazon Swapped it out. Runs smooth. the new scanner didn't show a P1121 prior to changing the MAF. Tossed my old Scanner. Thanks for your help.
