I did have a 95 Grand Cherokee, but the owner of the company I work for won't pay for the gas for it. Said I needed a 4cyl. I wasn't giving up my 4WD. So I got the Tracker.

Driving around on the freeways (I-15, I-80 and I-205) in Salt Lake, you either go 75-85 minimum or you get driven over by the semi trucks doing almost 90. So I have no choice. Neither do the other Tracker, Sidekick, Samurai or even Smart car drivers. I even saw an early 70's VW Beetle trying in vain to keep up. It just about got smeared three times in the less than two minutes I had it in view.


I've driven in Vancouver, Toronto, Winnepeg, DC, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, LA, San Fran, San Diego, Tokyo, Bahrain, Subic Bay, Bombay, London, Glasgow, Paris and Berlin. Never have I seen such a bunch of suicidal maniacs behind the wheel as these Mormons are around here. The only places that have even come close were the VW taxi drivers in Acapulco and the Camry taxi drivers in S Korea.

But, I have to make a living, and since nobody around here wants to hire a military trained and experienced electronics technician, I get to do road side assistance.


Oh, and you were right. The studs are in fact 10X1.25. Too bad nobody for three states around me has the correct gasket that goes between the manifold and the exhaust pipe. All they have is a Felpro 23566, which has the wrong diameter for the exhaust ports, the wrong diameter for the stud holes, and the stud holes are in the wrong place for the studs... GRRRRRRRR.
