    Cylinder Misfire

    Mine went to the dealer last month with p0300 - p0306 codes - I knew it wasn't the plugs or coil packs, These 2 codes would come and go for about 2 years but within the last 4 months they stayed on. Anyway they determined it was internal and ended up changing the intake valves ( all 6 ) as...

    Off-Roading w/a 5-Speed

    Keep us informed, I've had an ongoing p300 & p306 code for a couple of years now, It's not the plugs or coil packs for mine, It runs really good with no noticeable misses. Anyway I was told it was most likely carbon buildup from the dealer before they went out of buisness last year, I have...

    Yes, Put on new valve stems. Yes use your old lug nuts, I have the 16 x 8 soft 8's but I think the 16 x 7 may be better.

    Howdy!

    I would check it with a multimeter to make sure - I used the tan/striped one but tested it first. After all my work installing the brake controller - I ended up buying a pop up without electric brakes. We like all the same stuff - leaving for a backpacking trip this afternoon for 3 days...
