There are three good threads you need to read completely at this point...TONS of good info:

READ them entirely before you consider doing anything. If I had it to do all over again, I'd have parted out my 3.0 and gone with a Lexus 4.0 V8 swap.
My $.02...

 

TNRabbit, I haven't seen you around in a while. Where've you been?

 

Busy! Working two jobs now to try to get out of debt from the divorce. Happy New Year to ya! (sorry for the threadjack)

 

i hope this helps: I have a 93 3.0 5 speed toy truck with 168,003 on it. Did the hg recall at about 80,000. the truck runs great. no problems at all. it's not the most powerfull thing on the road though, i added a K&N cold air intake and a high flow exhaust with a high flow cat all at 2 1/4. that did change the personality of the truck much better response.

 

Don't waste your time with a "cold air intake" or any type of reusable filter...gigantic waste of money & time. There've been studies proving such...
