1066360 Thanks for all the advice. Still undecided about the fate of the YJ. May have a welder lined up to do some work on it. That will by me some time. I will consider the EBAY approach, since it sounds almost painless.[addsig]

1066488 My top comes off usually towards the end of may and stays off until mid september. I have a Bikini top and windjammer that is left on unless I get a string of real nice days. If it will be rainy, I put the full doors back on. I only get a tiny bit of rain actually inside, but not...

1066526 On my '89, I had the same prob. Took it to the shop for new u-joints. Turned out to be the wheel bearing was gone. Ended up buying a new hub since the wheel bearing comes as part of an assy. With the old off and the new in hand, I compared them. I could not turn the old without...

1066918 Thanks guys! Appreciate the feedback. I had forgotten the issue with the clutch (how could I, I have to add fluid every month to mine). What year did they put the front coil springs on ?[addsig]

1067126 Joopin' What year is your Jeep? I have an '89 and did not have to remove anything but the oil pan to replace my rear-main seal. One note though, I made the mistake of using synthetic after the replacement. Then everything leaked again. This time I took it to a shop because I was...

1067127 My stock '89 has served me well. It has no special aftermarket stuff and I have never had a problem with it. Of course, I drive it 100 miles/day for work, so it does not see a ton of off-roading. The off-raoding I do is usually crawling through the hardwoods looking for good caches...

1065021 I have the same prob with my 89 4.2L. I tried the same fix, but my hose diagram is a bit different than the book and the diagram under the hood. I checked the PCV and cleaned that and decided to check all associated hoses. One problem I had was in regards to the brittle plastic...

1065246 I like the idea of just boxing the frame with plate. I thought of trying to find a good frame at a junk yard, but I'm too scared that when I swap frames, I'll find too many bad things with this jeep. The frame fix will keep me going for another year, then it will be ready for...

1054798 I have a problem with mirror movers. I tried to install them on my '89, only find that the windshield torx bolt heads are stripped. They looked fine to begin with, but after trying a wrench on them, I learned that the previous ownwer had stripped them, then coverd them with touch-up...

1055037 Check your choke cam idle screw. Usually you set this when your vehicle is cold by pressing onthe gas. Sometimes this will stick. Mine does it about once a week. I just pump the gas quickly and it quits.[addsig]

1051607 I think I could deal with it just being cold, problem I have is that I can get it almost warm to a comfort level, but I keep finding new drafts that like to freeze various parts of the body. For instance, I usually have a right foot thats sweating, a left that's freezing. My left ear...

1051609 I put about 55000 miles on a set of 6 ply sidewinders. They performed exceptionally well. I prefer the 6 ply because I can still lower the air pressure with out the tire becoming suseptable to sidewall damage. I'm now running a Capitol M/S 6 ply that has not let me down yet. It's...

1050535 Yes, this is a 258, with a manual transmission I'm running a 195 tstat and have cardboard in front of the rad. That's how I get the 155 gauge reading. It was around 135/140 before the cardboard. This is a new tstat, because I thought the old one was stuck open. I did not notice...

1053214 Thanks for that diagram, I have the same issue (shift fork does not move, motor works (holds vacuum). Now I will trace every vac line for this, since here in NE PA, we could almost 6" by nightfall, and I have no 4wd![addsig]

1053215 Thanks, Thanks, Thanks. The disconnect moves very freely, olds vac well, I did notice the vent hose off the diff is shot, so that gets replaced. Now it's time to trace the lines back to the Xfer case.[addsig]

1053459 Well, Murphy's law is always the prevailent law with Jeeps. My proble is fixed. The vaccum line off the manifold to the Xfer case was about 1/2 off the hose barb. I pushed it on all the way and now I have 4WD again. Had the same prob once with an '87 S-10 Blazer. I hate vaccum...

1053612 Hey Morg! I tried your fix and my '89 runs much better. The only problem now is that I broke one of the connectors between the PCV valve and the 1st tee. Do they still sell these? can I just get rid of it and run a single tube? Also, according to the vacuum diagram running around...

1050505 183000 miles, brand new rebuilt Carter Carb. Proper set-up for the idle(s)? Live in NE PA. Vehicle get only to about 155 deg F (according to gauge), reads around 200 in summer. Does everybody else run this cold in the winter?[addsig]
