Haha I guarantee I could do it much quicker now. But it was my first time every doing it and I pulled all the belts off like a dummy. And the tension pulley that kept them on so it took me extra time to set it all up again. But on a difficulty scale id give it a 2 out of 10. On a PITA scale based off of what I did? 5 out of 10.

 

So true. Heck the hardest part with mine was the stock plug on the stock alt. Didnt wanna come off. New one went one in 2 mins

 

Finally bought a optima battery. Washed off the alternator. Gotta figure out why auto tranny won't shift till higher rmps too

 

I went through 8 duralast ones lol.
Year? Check the fluid level.

 

2000. I just checked it the other day. Gonna check out again tho. Maybe a sensor too.

 

Same thing with Crank Position Sensors. First one took me an hour, I just put the old one back in to read the voltage and it took 10 minutes.

 

Diff covers came in.

 

Check your tps. Mine went bad after getting wet and told the engine I was at 77% throttle all the time so it wouldn't shift until 4000rpm

 

have you adjusted your kickdown cable?

 

That's really not a kickdown cable. It's a TV cable. Throttle Valve. Increases the transmission fluid line pressure more as the throttle is opened further.

TPS tells the TCM the throttle position so it can electronically select the proper gear.

Always a good idea to adjust it as it's very simple to do and increases shift firmness.

 

Looks good. I'm going to do that myself soon. I hope that's not the same wheel in both pics. If it is , you might want to go and get it balanced.

 

Got my 23 year old A/C cranking cold.

 

Replaced fuel filter.. Next CPS.

 

Woo new tires
Anyone want a free 33? Quarter tread

 

Good deal, that tire is perfect for trail only. Does it hold pressure well :P
