Hate to see you get stranded, but don't do like I did on my "89 & start "replacing stuff"....
after about $200 worth of sensors at $50 a pop.....I found out the battery cable was nearly corroded all the way thru about 20" from the battery---the plastic coating looked fine so I never suspected...
If you want it to LOOK better........(A) go with bigger tires/lift to accomodate tires.....
If you want it to perform better....(B) swap to a bigger engine.....
OR.......do.........(A) & (B)..................for the time being...........
but i drive a street-truck...what do i know ;missingteeth;
O.K.......forget my 500 word thesis.....
try this instead.....unbolt the pan just enuff to SPRAY THE GAP WITH BRAKE CLEANER TO FLUSH ALL THE OIL OFF THE AREA to put a large bead of rtvin--bolt it back up tight, wait a day. cross fingers/toes, & hope to God it works! ;missingteeth;
