i agree with redhead check the plenum and see if your seals arent leaking. im pretty sure someone has checked and replaced the timing chain with that many miles on it. but then you could probably invest in a CAI or an air cleaner or if you wanna do the cheap route just buy a good K&N air filter. if the exhaust is possibly factory just get a dual exhaust system for it

I doubt it.Most folks never change anything until they have too. Mine still has the factory internals.The valve covers and oil pan have never been removed for that matter.

dang you got toy tires on that thing, biggest you can safely go on a 2wd would be 265/75/16 and you should have no rubbing, put a leveling kit and you can fit 285/75/16 with a possible slight rub at full turn.

Yeah i feel like i am driving a tonka truck. I am kind of leaning towards new tires and an exhaust system any recommendations? For the exhaust i just want it to be louder. I am not that interested in boosting hp but that would be a bonus if the price is right.

that may be the way too go and if you want it to be louder after that you could possibly gut the converter and it will give it a lil bit more growl, i dont exactly know if yall have vehicle inspections and i am clueless at that cause we dont have them here in SC
