Maybe this will help someone, but the compression ratios don't come in to play with a engine that is not running. The blow-by that happens with all engines will leak out any air of any cylinder over a period of time. That time is determined by the fit of the rings to the cylinder walls. So...
Ok, that's interesting. I can see that there may be some differences in connecting components with the different engines. I don't know anyone with the 2.3 or I'd take a look and compare. That 2.7 is crammed in there, not even much room to get an arm down the front. lol
Right now, just looking to gain some clearance between the tire and fenders, for a possible 37ish tire in the future, when these tires wear out or they piss me off. lol
Possible suspension in the further future, so kind of a combo lift in my mind, get a little here and a little there.
I have been reviewing all the info I can find on body lifts: 1", 2" or 3". I have seen BB videos and what they sell, but I have questions after taking a deeper dive look to my own.
Steering Linkage - it has been said that the linkage has enough room to accommodate to a 3" lift through the...
By chance, did you happen to run over one of those parking barriers that may have been covered in snow? The rebar sometimes freezes out of those things. Makes a nice hole puncher.

Received this AWE exhaust last week. I installed it seemed ok to me at first, but I ended up taking it off. I have some sound sensitivity sometimes and after a bit, it was just too much for me. It made the 2.7 sound more "beefy", at least what I was hearing. I don't have a sound meter, but...
I have been following some of these threads about the troubles with the beauty rings, so never attempted it. But I got screwed last week, in the bad way. :(
So while calling around to see what shop could get me patched, I debated removing the ring. What I didn't want happen is have some...
I went out and took another picture. Looks like the brake line is attached to a plastic clip that fastens over one of the diff bolts. I'm not sure if there is a nut/bolt in the center of that plastic bracket. But I'm curious now. I can get back under there tomorrow and check it out.
I am removing the stock exhaust to replace with AWE exhaust to get rid of that massive stock muffler in the rear. Want to reclaim that space for my air system. The muffler and pipe from the flex pipe back came off not too difficult. It's only 3 months old. I went to remove the muffler...
