1054353 I used the Rough Country kit as the basis for mine...lift kit and shocks... as for the rear springs...if yours are like mine were..they were dang near inverted from sagging...i found a set of low milage later model springs from a towing package equipped XJ...then installed the...

1072146 Joey has a good point.. also..install the u-joint so the grease fitting is in compression relative to shaft rotation...it will be appreciably stronger than compared to installing it where the fitting is in tension relative to shaft rotation. The tapped hole in the joint is the weakest...

1072394 I would have just turned the radio louder.....not... :evil: [addsig]

1072398 If there is any existing sealing problem...synthetic oil will point it out...thats part of what makes synthetic oil so good as a lubricant...my experience has been that Mobil1 oil works very well and is in some cases MUCH less expensive that some of the "custom" oil's. And i have never...

1072580 Nick has it pegged...one or the other..maybe both..mold is also a possible health risk. Even a leak in the heater core too small to leave much obvious evidence can leak enough to stink pretty bad, especially if you have a strong coolant solution.[addsig]

1072584 New plug wires of any kind will not improve the performance to any noticable degree unless there is something wrong with your old wires. Neither will "gizmos". Modern engines don't have a lot of easy to find power hidden inside like the older engines did. An engine is a heat driven...

1075174 LOL Tug....you bring the rocks and we'll crawl 'em...But we got enuff mud for everybody :-D [addsig]

1075176 In most cases, the ignition retards during cranking to help reduce strain on the starter.[addsig]

1075844 A few more clues would help...Is the compressor running or not??...does it blow air that isn't cold, or does it not blow air at all?? does it do better morning and night and not good during the heat of the day?? Answer all of these questions and there should be enough info for me or...

1075845 Glad to hear you got it squared away Chuck. There is some good advice there in what you accomplished... :-D [addsig]

1076240 Mine is MudDawg of course.... :lol: [addsig]

1076257 It most likely died from overheating if it siezed up...A/C compressors are suction cooled...that means the cool refrigerant vapor that returns from the evaporator keeps the cylinders and pistons cooled....When you pump air, there is not enough cooling...As the air is compressed, the...

1076260 Dang Tug....I'd say that was some dern good thinkin'... :-D [addsig]

1076567 Tug....regear it and you will find your lost mileage.... 8-) My Ole XJ with a mighty 2.5 REALLY turned into a dog with 33's :lol: [addsig]

1076772 OK guys....put down the balloons and step away from the nitrous :lol: [addsig]

1076777 Hmmm... a jeep just like mine.. check out Clifford Performance at www.cliffordperformance.com they have a package deal for 2.5's. It will REALLY wake up that early model carbed motor. Headers, Intake manifold, 38mm Weber, cam kit, pushrods, valvespring kit. I have that kit in mine...

1073371 Where is the noise coming from? underhood or under dash..describe the noise and when it occurs.[addsig]

1073373 Holy Schmolie!!! Everybody has the right to make a decent living...but geeze, 225 clams for a SWITCH..armed with the proper tools and the skill and motivation to use them...45 minute job unless there are a lot more dash pieces below the steering column than on my mid 80's Chief with...

1073376 3" may seem like a mile compared to the existing suspension.. :-D Mine sure did..but after a couple months...those old tires sure looked small..so I got more tire...and gee :evil: now I need more lift...next I dragged my bumpers at the mudhole...can't let that happen....I think most...

1073571 Sounds like the blower motor...they make a mournful sound when the bearings start to fail. That is if its coming from under the dash. [addsig]
