You would actually need a locker in the differential. Locking hubs just lock the hub to the axle where as a locker in the differential gives u positive traction. If you put a locker in the front you wouldnt need locking hubs if you have the front disconnect axle which came with the jeep as long...

Tug, ive been having trouble with oil leakage at the distributor and ive never really found a good hookup for my PCV, so I was wondering where you hooked yours up to when you did the motorcraft carb swap. Thanks. od

Topics in this forum There is oil getting into the distributor base, but it isnt missing because it doesnt even come close to the rotor and/or contacts. It just started today since I sealed up the vent hole in the bottom of the dist. body when I was waterproofing it. Im guessing that the oil...

This, to me, is quite strange. Im getting oil in the distributor to the point that it is running down the side of the engine and dripping onto the ground in decent amounts. I myself have never heard of this happening. Has anybody here ever heard of this happening? I was thinking that maybe a...

That is me on the right with my 79' CJ7 w/ 360 auto. My brother is on the left with his 97' od ps-If this stupid thing doesnt load disregard the previous. :)

Red89yj, I did do the nutter a couple months before I did the carb and, in my particular experience, it did do a lot of good for power and mileage. Check your ignition timing with a timing light and if your timing is jumping all over the place like mine was, I'd do the bypass. Hope this helps. od

The 4cyl 5spd wranglers had, i believe, 4.11 gears from the factory which is upgradeable to 4.56 or 4.88 gears without changing the carrier. Those gears would do fine with say a 32-33 inch tire and the 4 banger for mild offroading. Id say, since u dont have the income, put the money into the...

You could swap out your carter carb for a motorcraft which gives you a lot more power an a lil better gas mileage... http://www.tricountyweldingsupply.com/carb/carb.htm Your 89' with the 4.2 has the same ax-15 trans that the newer jeeps with the 4.0's have. It should be an easy bolt-up swap...

Welcome to the world of jeepin and welcome to Jeepz! If you've got the problem we'll help you with it. First off, Whats wrong with the engine specifically? The jeep 4banger is a very capable engine and coupled with the right gears can make an outstanding offroad machine. Is it auto or 5spd? od

I think he may be refering to the drive shaft guys. Going from the T/C to the pumpkin right stan? What Transfer case do u have? Im guesing that u have the T4 or T176 transmission and the Dana 300 T/C. Is this correct? If your not sure, check these sites.. transmission...

I believe the track bars on coil sprung vehicles are an integral part of the suspension. od

My brother has a 97' with the 2.5 and 5spd and hasn't had any problems yet. Then again there are lemons everywhere. od

Did u put any preservative in the fuel tank before u stored it? If not the gas could have lost most of its "punch" and is not igniting. It could also be the fuel pump/filter. Are u getting spark? Fuel? The fact that it starts sputtering when u spray in the starting fluid points to a fuel...
