I have the Tekonsha Prodigy, and would recommend it highly over a standard controller. It has some kind of inertia sensor so it gives more stopping power to the trailer the harder you brake. Makes for a nice, smooth stop every time. And it has various levels of "boost" that let you adjust how...

I just ordered a 4-position chip from Jody Tipton at dp-tuner. His tunes are highly touted by those on Dieselstop.com, I'll let you know what I think when it arrives. He can also program your computer for only $75. I decided to go with a 4-position ($409) so I can change back and forth. You...

Sounds like it may be the driveline slip yoke that's binding. The rear of the truck goes up under braking, and squats down a bit when it completely stops, causing the driveline to shorten. When she gives it gas, the rear will squat again and it will shorten some more. If the slip yoke is...

I can come, and my buddy as well. I have an '85 4Runner and he has a '92 wrangler with chevy running gear. :D

So...is it still on for this Friday?

I know as much about TJ suspensions as my grandma does about rollin' on dubbs. Now, I need some info on running 33's. A friend of mine has a '98 and has sought my advice in choosing a lift. My thoughts are: keep it to 4" to avoid doing a SYE kit. This Jeep will probably only see very light...

Ok, ok. It was at Menlove Dodge Toyota. I actually don't mind them too much as a dealership, but it really depends on the salesman you get there. I've dealt with probably 5 or 6 up there, and it seems about half of them are idiots and half are great to work with. The 16 valves on a V6...

I epitomize tardhood.

Yeah, it's getting hard to find the right viscosity of vegetable oil though. I think safflower is like 60 wt, but that's still a little light. Wait, you bake cakes? :eek2: Woo Hoo! Partay!

WRONG! The guy specifically said "no combustion takes place in there." I think if it was the same oil, he wouldn't have said that. :o I once had a guy tell me a truck had a V6, even though it said 16 valve right on it. I asked, "So how many valves per cylinder is that?" :squint:

While I was at a car dealership this week, I was letting the salesman drive my truck around so he could give me a trade-in value. I told him all the fluids were changed recently except the trans...and then came the good news! He told me that you never have to change the oil in a manual...

Vonski, when did you bleach your hair?

I have witnessed some 5.71s break. My buddy was coming up the last hill out of Cliffhanger...not even gassing it at all (locked f/r) and all of a sudden PING! PING! PING! Stripped a bunch of teeth off the ring gear. They were Yukons. I have also seen 2 different people strip teeth of 5.29s...

Ya, that's on par with the "Wendy's Beaver 90 miles" sign just outside Nephi.

Actually, I have decided to sell my shell separately...so I'm selling the truck for $15,200. But, since $15,200 > $15,000, It may still be a bit high. :-\ Anyway, good luck finding one.
