1064629 The "bleeding" over your stereo is caused by A: too much power (the linear) and or B: the high SWR. Linears are typically "broadbanded" to work on the CB frequencies and the as such, are not filtered very well. Your stereo speaker wires are such that there length's are close to the...

1064631 Check the "slop" from the shackles. They will impart some play as there not solid. I can watch my front end shift back & forth a little when I steer lokto lok, and the shift is from the shackles have. (there old and worn) If all the tie rod ends are good, the steering box is...

1064633 You should look for a 5 speed then. The T-176 is a very small (only 40lbs empty) 4 sp transmission. A T-5 is the 5sp that came stock in them. I tossed my T-176 for a T-18 (granny box) cuz I wheel my CJ-5 hard in rocks. I was amazed at how tiny the T-176 actuall is/was. Shocked...

1064635 Dana 300 transfer case. The issue with "flat towing is in fact proper lubrecation of the output shaft. While driving, the input shaft is driven by the motor (duh...) while towing, the input shaft is NOT moving, and and such, all the components that were "driven " from the front are...

1064639 As Tug mentioned, as you remove a crappy TORX, replace it with SAE! (or hex) I started with the TORX screws in my mod 20 diff housing! Made them go bye bye right quick in a hury! Replaced them with SS bolts (1/4 x 3/4x20 to be precise) The only Torx left on my jeep now are those...

744000 After my 82's 258's complete rebuild, the mechanic who actually rebuilt it instructed me to run straight 30weight till it breaks in. Thats gonna be a while!. The first time it broke in was at 13,820 miles. I drive her now maybe 1000 miles a year now!

910000 Can't forget about "Specialty Jeeps" in Belmont CA. (650)592-2130 ANYTHING stock, they'll have. Real good about getting it to you quick too. I've called in for parts in the morning, and had them the NEXT DAY! (Course I'm in CA only a few hrs away.) Other is Four Wheel Drive Hardware...

1040018 Look closley at the mounting plates for the steering box! I've not seen ONE that isn't cracked!! You'll need to look closley at the mounting bolts, clean the area good. I was lucky with mine. I had made a trail repair (weld) on one bolt hole that was easy to see. I thought that...

1040019 YEP, wiring issue. The head light plug has 3 contacts in it. GND, Low and HI beam. Try cleaning all 3 contacts with something that'll get inside the plug. (tiny jewlers screwdriver ect...) [addsig]

1040020 Nope!. You can always get a "turkey Baster" and suck the fluid out. [addsig]

1040021 Sounds like the issue has been solved. My story goes; Been there done that. I tried running my CJ-5 with only an electric fan (18"huge) motor heated up right quick in a hurry! Nixxed that idea. Next, mounted a flex fan. It's still in and working fine. My whole cooling issure...

1040111 Hi, sorry this has nothing to do with tach.s, I'm wondering, where you live? It has to be a state with little or no smog to allow a 77 V8 in a later model CJ. Your lucky! Out here California, that can never happen!. V8 swapps can occure, but the V8 has to be newer than the vehicle...

1040112 I rebuilt my 82' in Sept 01. I completly removed it and took it to a shop. I would have loved to do the work my self, but the mobilhome park I live in kinda frowns on automotive work being done in it. (Although I removed the motor, and reinstalled it with new transmission, all under...

1040114 Carb's. A thing of the past for me!. Anyone owning a CJ with the 6cyl should think about fuel injection! Start saving those greenbacks! Go ahead rebuild the carb, get to so it'll drive until you have the coin for the kit. I realize the average joe can't outright afford fuel...

1040115 The 4.0L motor is a YJ motor(242ci). The 4.2L (258ci) came in the CJ series. There may be issues with trying to mount it in a YJ, I don't anymore. You can contact Advanced Adapters for info. (sorry I don't have a number handy. (at work) [addsig]
