    Anti lock brake issues? problem when stopping,

    Are you feeling pulsing, if yes its definitely the abs, and its usually one of the front hubs needs replacement. I replaced both of mine on my 01 trac to fix the issue, after trying the abs sensor on the rearend.

    Starting Issue

    If my memory serves me , you can cycle the key on with out starting which builds up fuel pump pressure,. You hear the pump initially each time you turn on the key , and say on the forth time you try to start. If it now starts right up that indicates its the fuel pump usually or its a good indicator.

    timing chain failure

    Excerpt from Bob is the oil guy site: "Given it was Castrol who was the company to first market Group III oil as "Synthetic" in the US and the fact that there is no set definition by law of what "Synthetic" oil must be in the US, there is no reason to believe that a US produced Castrol Edge...

    timing chain failure

    Not sure, but extended performance oils are usually pretty good. The question is it a true synthetic, and not an standard oil base with added synthetic additives which is being called a synthetic. The 0w-30 made in germany is a European formula, read this site (Bob is the Oil Guy) for oil...

    timing chain failure

    Castrol edge 0w-30 is a true synthetic made in germany, its not found in Walmart, only at Autozone as far as I know. What I'm saying this one weight is the one you want, it can be used for 5w-30 and 10w-30 weights. It only comes in single quarts, no 5 gal containers, hope this helps, as i swear...

    Vibration @ 50 MPH

    You could move the front tires to the rear and rears to the front and see if the vibration moves or changes, as this is free if you can do it your self.

    David, thanks for the Random Tech catalytic converter , it was exactly as you described. I just have to find a Random Tech y-pipe used and I'll be set, and if my 2001 exhaust system would ever rust out I can put the parts to use. Anyone know of a used y-pipe?????????

    Pulsating Brake / Brake pedal

    I just had this issue on a 4wd trac, I replaced both front hubs which has the sensors and it fixed the issue. The dealer couldn't determine which sensor was bad so I replaced both with Timken hubs. PS. I had already replaced the sensor on the rear end (pumpkin)
