Im not a mechanic by no means but i can work my way around with some help (Thanks Danko) I do know that Ive got to get rid af the cheap stabizer. If you have any more Qs just ask Ill get back when I gat a chance . Thanks jon Awards

Couple things-- those size of tires if you have a bad one can cause what we call a "death wobble" and it can be pretty scary,you have to slow to pretty much a stop before it quits, also the tire circumference is VERY VERY critical on jeep -between all four tires, the tread cannot deviate I believe an 8'th of an inch-- could be a quarter of an inch--I'll have to check to refresh my memory--but IT'S NOT MUCH.(this will usually cause it to not go into or out of 4wd drive very well and could tear up your drivetrain) If it is following low spots in the road and the alignment is ok it is probably the stabilizer shock.

I would think cars would be getting away from me if it was ) its a heavy shimmying Ok so I did get 4 new tires and of coure its not doing it now but is that due to there new and not broke down or worn yet? Evey time ive tryed to get someone to watch to see if its death wobble theres always a cop around, I cant get up to 45-50 unless I get on the hwy. with the the new tires it drives like its brand new. should I wait to do anything ( except stabilizer shock ) or should I dcheck anything else?

I think you would notice a big difference in handling with a Rancho stabilizer shock.We put them on so many, we kept them in stock at the dealer!! lol I'm glad you got it fixed. Have a good one bro!

My f100 had a cracked I beam where the ball joint had pretty much sank down inside where the hole had wallowed itself out. I had some weird wobble from that at certain speeds. Still got some wobble stuff happening...very slightly, but i'm pretty sure its because of uneven tire wear. I had the i beam replaced and an alignment done. I think a new set of tires will probably fix that up. On another note, whats the best recommended fuel additive to help improve performance and maintain cleaner engine and such guys? There is so much bullshit out there its hard to know. Awards

On my 78 econoline van (inline six, single barrel carb) i had an airflow adjustscrew so i could adjust the mix for gas mileage vs performance. Do i have the same on my 82 f100(2 barrel 302). Seems like my gas mileage is suckin pretty bad in town compared to the other 2 302's i've had (74 maverick...83 econoline van). Now my tires arent in the best shape, and i know i need to change my plugs, cap and rotor and wires, but the difference shoudnt be that bad. Since i fixed the seal on the accelorator pump, truck seems to be running pretty damn good for something 29 yrs old. Nice smooth idle with not much misfiring...you know how old fords are. On a personal note.....They really are FORD TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!BUYA!!!!!! Awards

Yea Billy, there is something there you can fuck with....lol You need to fix all the shit you know is bad first...before the carb adjust.But to adjust carb screws on the 82 its all the same ....turn in until idle gets a little rough then 1/2 turn out.Ithink there are 2 on that carb,make sure you turn them equal--if one doesn't adjust like the other you need a carb O/H. If it has a lot of miles you might bump the timing up just a hair... a hair. lol. Alignment, tire psi and P.M. will all affect mileage, the carb adjust will only affect idle quality because your carb goes to a secondary fuel enrichment off-idle, and there is no adjustment for that on those carbs. Grab the carb and try to move it---if it moves around the underside base screws are loose, common problem especially on the inline 6 single barrel. If it is loose just take it off ,there are 4 screws on the underside, pull them out 1 at a time loctite and reinstall.You will b good.There are only 2 screws on the single barrel. Awards

It also has some sort of screw for the float in the carb. I'm guessing that it is the automatic choke? it not being on is not hurting my cold starts, at least not yet. A new carb is definitely on the list for the future, but times is still tough....just like my ole ford.....first things first. Change plugs this weekend, and cap and rotor. Plug wires look to be in pretty good shape. Awards

You probably need to hook batt. voltage to the choke connector for it to open all the way.That not opening all the way will cause really bad gas mileage also it will stay on a step of the choke idle cam and cause it to idle high.
