    timing?

    I have a 2001 xlt. I did some work on the engine and I believe I did it right. I have included a scan of my timing that says its 12 degrees off? There is no code but it does not run perfect yet. I have resolved my misfires but it seems starved for air at higher rpm? I have not replaced my...

    Scan program

    I want to see my engine misfires on a graph. I am getting minor miss fire issues and I want to use obd and see when it is missing under load. I am almost back to how she used to run. I did the plug and found exposed wire the other day. So it has improved after that. Does anyone know of a...

    Wobble

    I have had quite a fiasco and an undrivable shaking from the front. I started replacing things such as the front differential and cv axles and transfer case. I balanced the front driveline. I found a mechanic who has a familiarity with these vehicles. Every other person i asked for help with...

    transfer case

    My best guess: I have had a significant vibration that was mostly solved by swapping out the front differential. I had a used transmission installed a few years ago and a selling point was the eddie bauer from 98 which was hinted as a upgrade for my 2001 xlt. I now have 2wd but not on my...

    So I have known for some time that my transmission is not working properly when it does not want to reverse and shifts jerky some times. Does this indicate any other problems? such as torque converter? After confirming my transmission is going out I am considering doing this myself. can...
