    You may have hit the nail, I did notice the cuff thing a few weeks ago, went to haul the garbage off a few miles from home, I now have a habit of runing it up a little hard and back of the peddle fast to keep the turbo loose, I did that just before the dump place and wow what a sound, crap what...

    The owner before him mounted the box on top of the engine on a heat sink, guess he needs to replace it first?

    Won't start, sometimes?

    A friend of mine has a 94 4x4 he just traded a guy for, it has a couple of times just died and also when the engine is hot say drive to the hamburger joint, come back out and she won't hit a lick. Fool around with it and for some reason it will just fire up? Since I work on the old Ford...

    Need a gear

    Need a gear

    The only thing my truck lacks is a lower gear for backing in my fiver. Got 411's in the rear. Is there any transfer case that will bolt on to the Z5, like from a gaser? or does it have to be a diesel Z5er? Don't want to make it a 4x4 just use the lower gear for backing in the fiver.
