    Synthetic blend gear Oil for 94 YJ SE

    Are we talking about differentials or transmission? I STRONGLY recommend the MT-90 for the transmission. For the differentials, just use regular oil and change it often. And yes, GL5 WILl ruin the synchros (it eats yellow metals, which your synchros are made of!). If you cannot find MT-90 or...

    Cb?

    I run both CB (with a 40W amplifier) and 2m HAM radio. Both antennas stick over the roof of the Jeep; the CB one is fiberglass and the 2m one is steel. The fiberglass one does not swing as much, but it has some scrape marks up top from dragging in parking lots. I would go with fiberglass, but...

    Fast Idle

    Just let the computer learn the settings. Idle should go back to normal after the engine is warmed up. If not, check your vacuum lines.

    2.5L problem

    Well, mine was acting much like you describe; it would loose power when you tried accelarating or aplying any force. I took it out, and this is how it looked: Felipe

    YJ Lost Ignition

    PCM (powertrain control module, IIRC) is the computer itself (also called ECU or Electronic Control Module). It is located in the engine bay below the brake booster (at least in the YJs), and it is a black box (literally).

    2.5L problem

    Dont know... I guess it would depend on how bad it was. I dont have to smog mine, so I just took the cat out and replaced it with a resonator last time it died (about a month ago), but you cannot do that in a T J...

    YJ Lost Ignition

    Ditto for me... 3 bad coils have left me in tight spots. Now I always carry a spare!

    2.5L problem

    YJ's have a filter behind a skid plate by the driver's side rear tire. I think the TJ's have a filter in the tank. Could also be a clogged catalitic converter.

    tire size question

    I run a D35 on 33's with an ARB. Been running it that way for 3 years, and so far so good... I do run alloy axles with 30 (or was it 31?) spline, tough.

    Rhino line interior???

    I have my interior lined with Rhino and the bumpers and rocker guards lined with Line-X. The line-X has faded some (looks a bit purple in some places) but has otherwise held well to abuse. The Rhino looks as if it was sprayed yesterday, but then again, it is kept inside away from the sun...

    radiator and electric fan question

    Use one of 3 options; the Ford Taurus one already mentioned, or the lincoln MK VIII (I think it was VIII, but I could be wrong), or a Flex-a-Lite one. The nice thing about the Lincoln is that it covers the entire radiator, it has a bigger fan, and runs the same motor as the Taurus (plus, it's...

    aux offroad lights

    I run KC daylighters for long range night driving (long range beam pattern), and KC Slimlights (Fog Light Pattern - I swapped the bulbs for 55W ones, so I can use them all the time and not blind oncoming traffic). I am happy with that setup, as it was not that expensive, and have held up well...

    winch wiring

    In my case, i mounted the winch to the bumper, and then had to carry the mumper AND winch to put it in place... THAT was hard! not difficult, but hard to do by myself!

    Metal fender flares

    I dont know about you, but for me I rather keep the plastic ones. I run the Warn ones, and they have held out pretty well to abuse (I have torn them off twice already, and they go back on without issues).

    Snorkel

    The way I see it, its an insurance policy. Sure, you can get water in the distributor, but in my experience, that tends to stop you AFTER you crossed the water. You can also kill many different sensors, or have a number of electrical issues. But I would take any ofthis issues over a drowned...
