so got it figured out...new ign.coil,' dist.cap, rotor,high pressure fuel pump....now it's back to normal. i do have the weird black fuel filter that seems to be kinda rare, ...and the "tick"..is ever present, but from what i'm reading it's pretty normal for the 2.9..but open to any ideas!

i do have a question, can i swap my anto hubs for manuals? if so, will i have a 2wd low range gear when the hubs are not in but the 4wd is on?
