    Mileage improvents

    Now that my wife is officially in love with her new 05 limited, it's here to stay for a long time. It has 190k on it, its 2 wheel drive, and it's a spotless, surprisingly tight southern vehicle. I plan on getting real about rustproofing, and it'll stay until it rusts out. I'm thinking 10 plus...

    Replacement Grille

    Now that I have engine in the wife's new 05 limited all straitened out, I'd like to make a few changes to it. Does anyone make a grille, preferably chrome, that looks more similar to the 07 style grille? I don't really want to do the front end swap, but I haven't ruled that out. I'd be...

    Cam timing.

    Thank for the help, I pulled the front cover and they had the timing correct. I came to the conclusion the noise was a bad cam phaser. The drivers side would wind up and snap over as valve spring resistance changed. The cam saddles and caps had a little wear on them, along with the mains on...

    Cam timing.

    Howdy, new guy here. I just bought a 05 for the wife that does not run. The secondhand story that I got was that someone replaced the chains, and could not get it running after that. I pulled the valve covers, and the chains and guides look new. When I crank it over the drivers side phaser...
