YOU SHOULD HAVE SEARCHED!!!! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27068&highlight=COOLANT+HEATER BAR'S LEAK is one of the WORST things to add, shame on YOU!! If you would have removed the RADIATIOR WTIH THE FAN, the fan with the radiator would have fit back in after the coolant heater is installed, and this would have made the removal / installation easier an OVER-RATED IMPACT and a 8"extension and a cornwall 14mm worked nicely

no, no, no, no, that's all wrong, it is designed to go between 4wd and 2wd while moving without using the clutch, "shift on the fly" when you want to shift between 4wd hi and 4wd LOW, you MUST clutch, unless you are stopped and the engine is off TIP: if you can not shoft between 2wd and 4wd, becaue there is a horrible grinding syncromesh sound, and when in 2wd you hear a grinding and when in 4wd, the noise goes away, you may have blown a rear axle, btdt

change the fuel filters, then check the oil, then allow to warm up thoroughly, then FLOOR IT for a MINUTE MINIMUM, sure does blow the crap out if it can't do 7,000 rpm, you've got problems -
