Also how hard will it be to change my T/case's output seal in my garage with a hammer and screw driver? Tired of AAMCO telling me it's fine when it's dripping all over my driveway.

My was a pain. And the new seal really didn't help much.

Removing any cat converters is against federal law. Do not discuss it on this site

Not sure about the European models but they have have been but to California standards. Only way to tell is to look! (Or get the build sheet from Chrysler)

California emissions package was called that for a reason lol. The whole exhaust system and the PCM is different. Under federal law you are not allowed to remove it.

You can spend $100+ to buy the hood louver kits, or do like me and get yourself some 1/4" expanded metal (preferably stainless, can usually find some in the scrap bin at the local metal shop) and make your own. Cut out some paper templates, leave yourself at least an inch on the expanded metal, secure it to the underside of the hood with rivets, down from the top. My came out fine, less than $20

Syptoms-many cranks to start (but has a new starter). Finally fires, albeit slowly. Runs ok. When comes up to temp, starts bogging down. Hit the gas bogs right down. Idles ok. Runs ok down highway 10-15 minutes or so.
Have since replaced fuel filter and idle air control. I was driving over some pretty thick brush. Dunno.

I am puzzled. O.o
Sounds to me like CTS.

Coolant Temperature Sensor is very easy to test. Unplug it and test drive. If that fixes the problem, replace the sensor.

Do what joint drive shaft goes into the rear after an sye? From what I understand its a CV joint, but the drive shaft i picked up is the double cardan cross (has 2 ujoints at he tcase end). Is that the same thing? Or the correct one?

Default Front Sway Bar Bushings

How many bushings are there on the front sway bar?
I see from diagrams there are bushings and grommets. Quadratecs web site shows one grommet at each end of the sway bar where it connects to sway bar link and it only shows one bushing that would attach the center of the bar to the chasis.


Please don't give the 'just take it off and throw it away' as my wife is not the best driver and I am not doing that.

2 bushings at the sway bar to frame mounting. Then each link has 2 grommets at the top and a bushing axle side.

DOT 3 or 4 is fine. DOT 5 is what you want to avoid.
