new vehicle new questions

well ive returned from the dead, i got myself a new old 1993 pick up ext. cab v6 4x4, very little rust and upgraded suspension. so a few questions, sadly it has an auto transmission but i notice a bit of rough idle and not much power meeting the road with not much of a great acceleration, now with my 91 4runner 5 spd it had power to the road right now, is this the difference between a 5spd and an auto?

i need to replace the front fenders, just seeing where the best place to buy them is. also looking for fender flares for my truck. ill get pics up soon.

yes, it's an auto. . . . my buddies 22re 5 spd is probably faster than my auto 3.slow. The name kinda fits your concern, 3.slow. . .

ditto on the auto and lacking guts. My 22RE auto Xtra cab 4x4 is anemic.

right on, well not really but glad to know.

i do have another question but im also going to look it up. my 3.0L is missing, so its a little bit of a rough idle and at around 2,500-3k RPM it sputters a bit. but it is definitely there.

Wouldn't it be te same a the front? Just add a washer/spacer on the frame? One thing to think about is that it may affect the ability to put the seats down completely which might limit space and possibly sleeping arrangements…
