DROVE IT finally, it's been sitting since just before new years day and i finally got to take it out and road test it.

the only thing is, my new thermostat runs just a little hotter than the old one (its a 195* stat and driving down the road at about 55, it runs about 210, whereas my old one struggled to keep 190~ but i think it was the original from '95 and the spring was probably getting weak and opening too soon, but i don't really care, my heat works great again)

also took it out and got new tires, Cooper S/Ts 255/70/R16, they ride nice and pretty quiet (i can't here them over the motor, but when i let off to slow down i can hear a nice hum)

I crawled home at 10mph last night and then used this forum to figure out it was my catalytic converter being plugged up. So today I disconnected it at the headers to make sure that was the problem, then ordered a new one.

Mine always pulls to the right also,and a new trac-bar did nothing to help it.
