Ok my truck has started wandering on me pretty bad... I'm pretty sure that i need to rebuild/replace my idler arm I'm just wondering if i should just go to the dealership and buy a new one or is there a better aftermarket one available?

 

go buy a new one from advance auto, pretty cheap. like 50 bucks. you may also need a center drag link ( i needed that )

 

whats up with the poll?



make sure its the idler arm before you replace it. dont just throw money at the problem unless you know whats wrong.

 

maybe its the strut bushings.

 

wow i feel dumb... one ball joint is getting a little loose but still within tolerances my major problem was that the steering wheel was about to completely breaking off the mounting flance was cracked... so ez fix... just welded it up and re tapped it.. got to love slow days at work lol

and the poll is what should i do build a 22re and swap it in or just rebuild my 22r have a 22r already at the shop waiting just tryin to decide what i want to do for sure

 

rebuild your 22r, throw a webber on though.. vacumm lines suck.

 

already got a weber 32/36

 

nice then what are you waiting for? ?? start building it

 

Ok so dose arp make a fastener kit for the 22r?
if so anyone have the part number?

never mind... just found on jegs

 

fastner ? like arp head studs ? show me a link of what your talking about ?

 

if your gonna build the 22r or were considering efi.


you should get some side drafts. there is NO better grin factor upgrade to a 2xr.


boost will leave you wanting more @ 200hp and the 2xr wont ever do that.



besides side drafts are dam sexy





efi is a **** ton of work replacing the fuel system, doing the wiring, then finding the bugs. not really worth it for the trade off unless your just going after mileage. then you should go mega squirt.

 

i agree side drafts are damn seksi and yeah i meant arp head studs i was hoping for a full kit but heh ill take the head studs... and by 2xr u mean a 22r with a 20r head?

 

2xr means just a 20 something r motor.. like 20r or 22r

 

lol talk about a blond moment... lol i was thinking about doing a 22r with a 20 r head though..

 

it took me forever to get that as well

That's a sexy setup. I'd totally love to see more under the hood shots of a 22R. Clean engine bays make me all hot.
