    Strong smelling exhaust

    I've been chasing low MPG issues and believe I've hopefully gotten that fixed. But I'm still dealing with very strong smelling exhaust. Not like rotten eggs just very strong. Could a bad cat be the cause behind this? I believe I was running rich for awhile due to a broken coolant temp sensor...

    Do I really need a Super Short SYE?

    Would I be losing anything installing a regular SYE vs a Super Short one? A tummy tuck isn't in the future as I'm on 5.5" springs and not going to do a BL.

    Picked up a Dana 35 for $50 to rob the shafts out of for spares. Do these casting marks mean anything? The shafts in my TJ don't have anything like these.
