1063847 Thanks for the lead, skate. Been looking for even more info. Graz. blue[addsig]

1063848 Highly annoying. Has anyone installed a vacuum gauge? I'm interested if the light is regulated by the MAP sensor. I"m used to using my brain to know when to shift. Hmmm. Computer cars. What would happen if the light didn't come on??? Redline then boom?? :-O Please. [addsig]

1059498 Regarding your interest in increasing your mileage - if the only siginficant difference that your friend's jeep has is the 411's, then you may want to consider the way you drive yours. I just bought and rebuilt mine (92YJ/6cyl/man) and haven't even used a tank of gas yet. But. . . I can...

1059508 Keep in mind that the engine temp has a direct relationship to fuel combustion which (of course) affects power output. If your engine isn't overheating (isn't 210 ok?) then why the change to the cooler thermo? Just curious.[addsig]

1059514 Maybe I'm gettin' old. Not really looking for the lexus ride, just would like to be able to stay in my seat while steering. I replased the stock springs with stiff 6 and 7 leafs and have compressed three vertibre. All kidding aside, I love the ride 'this thing drives like a jeep' came...

1059527 Sounds like your having fun. Dieseling occurs when the internal temperature in the cylendar is sufficient to ignite the fuel mixture without an electrical igintion. This can stem from either overheating or hot spots in the cyl. Hot spots are commonly caused from excessive carbon...

1059533 Thank you, for your responses. I've heard about the diving and didn't do the reversal during her rebuild for that reason - not to mention the drive shaft problem. Soulds like perhaps waiting for the break-in on the leafs might do the trick. Good advice.[addsig]

1059537 what model? I've got a set from a cj.[addsig]

1059539 Rule-out the simplest first. Rinse off the engine to remove the coolant. Run the engine and look for coolant leaks. Please watch the fan. May be just spillage from the flush. In any event, a competent mechanic would have never let you have your machine back with such a leak. Reconsider...

1059540 Drums can become functionally welded to the hubs with rust. Cutting them off may do damage to your machine, so try this first. Soak the joint around the hub circle just inside of the lug pattern with penetrating oil. Get out your trusty propane torch (MAPP) is worth the cost, as it...

1059542 Forgot to mention - disks are the best way to go. But as with any modification, you have to weigh the cost with the return. If you're in the water, mud, or breaking a lot decending hills, then disk breaks will fade less, loose friction less and offer substatntially better reliability...

1059544 You guys are a hoot. What's a PJ? Jeeps are not SUV's Say it ain't so. [addsig]

1059546 Gotta disagree with this one, guys. At least females aren't slaves to testosterone and won't let their brain get in the way of being way cool dude. [addsig]

1059669 sorry to hear about your problems with the new roof. i was thinking about the sunrider but shared tug's thoughts about too many parts. hard to fit it all just right - partiularily with jeeps as they have substantial tub flex. have you contacted best top yet?[addsig]

1059676 The electric fan offers much better cooling if and only if you match the needed airflow with the engine configuration. That’s usually the problem - any fan won't do. Get the strongest pulling fan that'll fit behind the radiator. For example, the Flex-a-Lite company makes the Black...

1059681 The factory rims usually have the max tire size stamped on the inside of the rim. I have 31 10’x on mine ( alloy five spoke) and they’re just fine. Just be careful, jeeps with those small tires, like the 235’s look a bit odd, don’t you think?[addsig]

1059685 Morgster, i have the black magic on my 92 6 cyl ho with a new rad, h20 pump and a good flush 100k on the mileage. I run 200-ish. Remember that the factory manual calls for a thermostat that opens at 195 degrees. These computer-controlled engines only have a small variance for efficient...

1059686 nope, the door size changed, sorry. happy hunting.[addsig]

1059687 jc whitney has the entire kit with the frame and all - at least i was told that. bestop offers the frame as well if you want to go for the full monty. i may replace mine in the near future so let us know how this works for you.[addsig]

1059690 You’ll have to forgive me; my experience is building high horse big blocks in 60's fords. this is my first jeep. The physics around gas engines is fairly consistent so one should apply to another. My drive has always been to squeeze every last hp out of that block, so that's why the...
