Lol. Well Since 120k is coming up I might as well let them do all the stuff. Not to mention that if this doesn't get better I can buy a new engine. Or if it does get better I can just put my headers on and my FM exhaust. I can't wait to hear that roar outta it.

if you arent to strapped for cash haven em service the entier thing drive line and everything at 120k im sure that you are probably startting to lose some compression just do to age so see about a moderate rebuild.

yours was well taken care of then its not common. if you arent the orriginal owner its a really good idea to have it checked, since you know who owned yours i think you are pretty safe matt since im sure uncle nykon took good care of it to.

Well the verdict is in... Four cylinders are misfiring and some of the heads are warped... Got an estimate and it comes out cheaper just to drop the 3.0 in... About $500 cheaper.
