    Tom, I'm ready to try it out. I've been messing withe the drivers for a little bit by making the track wider and forward a little bit more. Fixed that one for the most part but it still catches a little. If you've got a better solution I'm all ears.

    I had a shop do a once over with the problems. CV joints causing the popping and front diff slider gears are bad. Yoke in the back between transfer case and rear diff at to much of an angle. Calmini lift was too high I guess. It causes chattering during decel. As far as the engine, I seafoamed and it came out nicely. PCV valve broke the rubber thing holding it in when I pulled out what seemed to be the origional pcv. So somewhere in the valve cover is the other half of that rubber thing. It's never had a timing belt replaced. 112000k. Any comments would be great. I've decided I'm in the chaos.

    Vinny,

    Do you want me to modify the driver or passenger side for you to try out? I can't promise that I'll be able to complete it this weekend (pretty full plate already) but I'll give it a shot.

    Tom

    BTW: I usta pass through your stompin grounds quite a bit on my way to WSMR. My very first night in El Paso was at a Ho Jo surrounded by Constatina wire ... didn't get much sleep that night.
