Your rear 02 is a monitoring sensor only (this is the one that sits behind your cat, the one throwing the code), meaning, if your cat goes, your engine is NOT effected. And I wouldn't worry about the muffler - I've never seen, read or heard of anyone who had...

Did you go through the older threads on the subject? If not, try the search and see if you can go through them as they will definitely help you make up your mind on this subject.

This is great information! Thanks OP. We gotta get that tranny guy on the road giving seminars across the country!

You need to disassemble the transmission to access the internal strainer. Very few have gone to that extreme. The 1999 does not have a serviceable ATF filter - I know, crazy isn't it. Consider installing an external ATF filter like a Magnefine in the ATF return line to the transmission. I have and many others too. Keep up with the ATF drain and fills. Also, you can get loads of info by searching (black button top right) on topics such...

When I first replaced the front pads about 6 years ago, I thought I would upgrade- I can't remember which, but I believe they were EBCs from TireRack. They were horrible. Squeaking, grinding and pulsating. After a couple weeks, I replaced them with OEM pads, and the brakes felt...

Well, I don't have those special clamp pliers, so I drove my van up a ramp, then remove the plastic cover under the van and use a normal plier to remove the spring tension clamps...

The other thing is to make sure the male & female terminals are clean and shiny where they mate. The last time the battery was replaced the terminals may not have been cleaned properly and corrosion continues on until you get a battery which doesn't fully charge and a car that won't start. So many people ignore this easy but necessary work when replacing a battery. Sometimes a terminal cleaning is all that is needed when...

Ugh..I didn't update this post last night. I examined the brake pedal assembly and realized that the swtich needed to be placed back a little (hence the threads on the switch). Thanks for the post gen2blues! Hopefully this will help someone else with this issue. -Craig

I just got off Michelin Hydroedge tires and were not too happy with them as they wore. Michelin has made the outer edges of the tread more shallow than the center part of the tread. As these tires wear, you will end up with a slick area on the inside and outside which leaves the water no where to go. Check out the tread depth on a brand new tire and you'll see what I am talking about. I just switched to Michelin Destiny/Harmony tires. I...
