    So, no one's clear with me.. (emissions)

    OK, I want to get this down for sure. IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY: If I run an o/r midpipe, and use MIL eliminators, will I be able to just roll through the inspection station? What exactly do they do in jersey regarding the emissions inspection? OBDII scan and thats all? Or do they do a...

    My 4.6 motor seems a little shaky??

    I believe if you had broken motor mounts you'd know it for SURE. My dad's old t-bied broke a motor mount and when he gave it gas it would lift and hit the hood of the car.. You'd probably atleast hear a lot of clanking and stuff if it was broken..

    Alternator voltage problems..

    While my car is running the voltage reads 13.6V at the battery. I believe it's supposed to be between 14-15volts, correct? Is this a sign that the alternator is going out or could it possibly be the voltage regulator? Thanks.

    More rearend woes!

    Today I recieved my diff case and I have some simple questions.. 1. Do the bolts that hold the ring gear into the diff case thread into the gear itself, or the flange on the diff case? 2. What should those bolts be torqued to? 3. Is there any way to tell whether those bearings that sit...

    Rebuilding that rear diff.. Need help

    Looking into the box that my rebuild came in, all the discs, plates, and other circle things are just put all together. They're not seperated into two sets or anything..? Are any special tools needed for this job at all? I have everything it takes to get to the point of opening the rear...

    Rebuilding that rear diff.. Need help

    OK, so slowly my parts to rebuild the clutch packs in my stock posi are coming in the mail.. Any special tools required to remove the posi and open it up? Do I need a tool to measure the thickness of the clutch discs? I'm reading the instructions that came with the kit, but it's not clear to...

    I'm thinking about doing my wires after my rearend is built. I have intereferance in my speakers from my wires because the sheilding is so worn out :rlaugh: Where did you get them for $70 shipped?

    Different Flows

    The number on my mufflers were etched onto the SIDE of the muffler where the outlet pipes are (its the flat area). A buddy of mine had the numbers etched right onto the outlet pipe itself. It's very faint and not deep and it's pretty hard to see. I could imagine it being even worse when...

    CHECK ENGINE... it turned off?!?!

    Maybe your sensors are so gummed up with rotten egg smelling stuff that it can't even detect any of it at this point? :shrug:

    Replacing gas tank filler neck gromet..

    Because the Full Line on the guage is probably like really about 75% full. I get about 5-65 miles before the needle goes down to the Full Line when I fill it up to the auto shutoff. I've been filling up halfway too, and I still get some spillage. My passenger tailpipe looks nasty.

    Replacing gas tank filler neck gromet..

    I have to replace the gromet because when the fuel pump was replaced the grommet tore without me knowing.. :bang: Is there any trick to removing the filler pipe without having to drop the tank? If I lower the tank say 6-10", will I still have to disconnect the fuel lines to the tank...

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    Ladies, please. :flag: By comparing the screw I removed to the new one from Ford, I have about .5-1 thread remaining in the casing. Now, the locktite (it's yellow, by the way :D ) is only on the first 4 or so threads nearest the head of the bolt. This should mean that the threads remaining...

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    Well, I'm not pulling my entire rearend just to get this little piece of bastard bolt out. So, if I manage to screw up the housing threads - I'll just tear the **** out of it to get the pin free and just replace the whole diff. The thing has 100k miles on it anyway - I don't think my car would...
