Good deal. One guy said he wants it but isn't sure it will fit with his RC bracket. If it doesn't I'll pick it up.

Thanks

Hmmm, actually that might be double shear, I've always seen a Johnny joint style joint on a double shear model though, and a heim or a tie rod end on a single shear. Maybe OD knows. Looks single Shear to me, but it could be double.

You could probably make it work either way.

No, rubicon express's single shear uses a heim, their double shear uses a super flex joint, I'm pretty sure iro's is the the same way.

In my 2000, hit cruise to turn it on, get to your desired speed, an hit set. This will keep you at the same speed. You can use the accel and coast buttons to go faster or slower , if you touch the breaks the cruise will reset, and you will have to set it again.

At that point, you might be able to find out if it's a specific cylinder. I'd pull the injectors and clean/inspect them.

Do you get any backfires, or just misses at speed?

Anyone have any other suggestions?
It just misses at a steady speed whether I'm going 35 mph or 75 mph. I tinkered around under the hood the other night doing another one of cruiser54's tips where the brown wires with the white stripe get brought together and soldered. Afterwards I drove it around for about 30 min. and it didn't miss. I wasn't holding my breath that I had actually fixed it. Two days later I drove about 20 miles to go pick up a buddy to go hunting. On the way it missed twice while on the highway at 65 mph. After I picked him up it missed two more times within a mile. I filled up the gas tank and it didn't miss any more driving an additional 30 to 40 miles. One might think that it's sucking air in the fuel tank somewhere since it didn't miss anymore after filling it up, but it has missed plenty of times before with a full tank.

Not sure if this may be relevant, but my yellow arrow "upshift" indicator light is friggin retarded. It comes on as soon as I start rolling, does not come on at all for the 2nd to 3rd shift, comes on randomly for the 4th to 5th shift and will come on quite frequently while in 5th gear as if it thinks I have another gear to shift into. LOL I think the shift indicator light is controlled by the ECM so I'm thinking it could have a bug in it or it's getting bad signals from whatever I haven't found yet.
