Well... my speedo is a couple off @ 45mph and three off @ 55mph, according to my GPS. When I'm actually doing 45mph my speedo will read 43mph. But when I figured up my mileage I used the distance measurements on my GPS, which are theoretically accurate within inches. It's more likely that your...

The new ECU came today. Swapped it in, everything is gravy :D She even idles properly now. I think the old ECU has had one foot in the grave for a while now...

Nah man, fully auto is actually the worst thing to use against a horde of zombies. Headshots are the only shots that matter. Having all three of these with you in a post-zombie-apocalypse world is the best way to go: 1. A Baretta M92 or similar 9mm handgun with a decent magazine capacity for...

JC Whitney always takes a while to ship for me. One time I ordered a few restoration parts for a '69 Mercury Comet Cyclone from them and it took about a month for the order to arrive :D

Sounds good, except the part where the head will need machining to make the valve springs fit correctly. If you install this stuff, could you please let me know how good it is? And also please let me know how much of a pain it is to get the head machined to spec?

Don't worry about not being mechanically inclined. That will come if you own a Jeep :D It's really not hard to do your own repairs. Haynes manuals cost about $15 and will help you with whatever you can't figure out on your own. You can get a half-decent tool set for about $100, a Hi-Lift jack...

I get about 17mpg average on BFG 31's with the 2.5L/5-speed. Stock gearing. I built myself a 3" intake and swapped on a 4.0L TB. I was getting about 15mpg average before the mods, so it does help.

After upgrading your intake/throttle body, you can get some bigger injectors. 19# Ford injectors from a Mustang/Explorer work quite nicely. There's actually a thread on this in the FAQ section at http://www.4bangerjp.com and I suggest you take a look at everything else there as well. The e-fan...

Before I go any further, if you look at the YJ again before buying make sure you climb under it and inspect every little nook and cranny for rust. I've seen YJ with a showroom-quality body that were literally falling apart in the frame. Don't worry about a little bit of exterior rust on...

Awesome, thanks Mikey. Everyone else wish me luck. I'm praying that replacing the ECU and the alternator together will solve my problem. If this doesn't work I'm gonna be in deep ****.

I've got to replace my ECU, the new one is on it's way. I popped the hood and scoped it out. It seems like the easiest way to get it out is to unbolt the washer fluid reservoir and move it out of the way but I haven't tried to pull it yet. I was wondering if any of you had a better way? Thanks!

I agree.

Okay... I am having the weirdest problem ever. I'll just start at the beginning. Jeep is a '95 YJ with a 2.5L. We're out of town for Christmas vacation. My Jeep's alternator apparently stopped charging and yesterday it went dead while I was driving it. Today I replaced the alternator and it...

Those didn't turn out bad. Nice job!

Damn dude, at first it sounded like you blew a headgasket! Glad you got it fixed. You said it only cost you $60 for a new power steering pump and a high pressure line? Seriously? That'd be like $125 at least at the auto parts store for me I think. Where did you buy them if you don't mind telling?

I checked those out. Cool concept for us soft top owners but they wouldn't work for peeps like me that already have a light bar. At this point I think I want a new tire carrier with a rack mounted above the spare.

I have a question about this as it's looking like I am also going to need to replace my clutch/throwout bearing/clutch master and slave cylinders soon. When you go to replace it, is it an engine-out job or do you drop the trans/tcase? What is easier?

I said 'usually' :D Even if you can't hear it naturally, you can always try the pipe test. Crank up the Jeep and let it idle, take a length of pipe, put one end on the engine accessory you want to test, and then listen through the other end. It works like a stethoscope allowing you to hear a...

I second this, go with a 700R4 variant. Relatively cheap, very plentiful, and relatively easy to find. They also have overdrive so you'll save some gas. From what I hear they are also easy to rebuild (compared to other automatics, of course; no automatic transmission is easy to rebuild.) Also...

I don't know about TJ tops cause I have a YJ, but on a YJ top the rear windows will blow around like the ****ens at interstate speeds. Don't freak out, they seem like they're gonna blow away, but they PROBABLY won't :lol:
