    Cooling Question

    1054755 yeah i got the problem with the idle overheating fixed, the fan shroud just needed to be trimmed back a little bit it was overhanging the fan to much, but that still doesnt fix the overheating at 60 or so mph, i talked to a chevy mechanic and he said i should try a 180 or 195 degree...

    Mirrors/paint

    1054812 Yeah, my windsheild hinge bolts are stripped also, whoever at chrysler decided it would be a good ideal to use TORX head bolts on jeeps should be shot, once it gets warmer im going to have to tap out all of the old bolts so i can put on my mirror movers and new windsheild hinges...

    Diamond Plate Alternatives

    1055842 i did diamond plate on my rear corners, i attached them with rivets as far as prep i just cleaned the surface beneath (there were no rust spots) and then put a bead of silicon around the edge of the diamond plate to prevent water from getting between the 2 and causing any rust...it...

    locker ????

    1055843 i like the OX locker myself, although the ARB is a great locker you can sometimes run into problems with the compressor and such and the OX locker is cable operated so it can still be engaged/disengaged from the cab and you dont have to worry about the compressor. Quik[addsig]

    Poor Mileage Question

    1049515 the 3.07's should get you better gas mileage, the lower the gear (higher numbers) the more your gas mileage goes down....as to why you're only getting 10 mpg i have no idea, my 2.5l used to only get 12-15 on the highway and my 350 gets almost 18 who would have thought an engine with...

    Spark Plugs

    1049753 i went with the Bosch platnium +4 plugs in my 350, if you're changing plugs for a tune up i'd also recomend changing wires, a good set of wires can be a little pricey but can also make a world of difference, i personally went with the Bosch 8mm wires[addsig]

    Opinions please

    1049915 The guy i talked to said they were 44's, and said the perches were in the right places already, my real concern is that he wasnt using the NP231 t-case, and since the 231 runs off of vaccum lines and the 44 doesnt, how much modification would be needed to adapt that axel to my NP231...

    Opinions please

    1049975 excuse my ignorance as i do not really understand how the transfercase works, but if i were to remove the vaccum lines how would i be able to engage the front axel in 4wd? isnt that what the vaccum lines are there for? also as far as the SOA i dont know if i'm really comfortable having...

    Stolen Jeep

    1049976 proximity and motion sensitive alarms are very effective in jeeps, the problem is they go off to easily and that can be quite annoying, although in my oppinion any other type of alarm is far to easy to bypass in a jeep so i wouldnt waist my money, my jeep has a kill chip thats right...

    My aching back! 4" lift kits?

    1049992 procomps 4" springs have a really rough ride if your jeep isnt very heavy, i had my 4" procomp on with my 2.5L engine and i felt every bump there was to feel, but after installing my 350 there was a little more spring sag, and i also switched to the rancho RS9000 gas shocks, the ride is...

    My aching back! 4" lift kits?

    1050081 i put one on my buddy's jeep, he had previously had 4" springs so already had a SYE and driveshaft, had to weld on the perches like bigmf said, other then that it was no more difficult then a regular 4" lift kit[addsig]
  17. Q

    What gear ratio??????

    1050082 i'd rather weld then put in a detroit, but if you're looking for a part time locker the ARB's are the way to go, especially if you do much highway driving and like to get the best gas mileage possible, with a detroit or welded diff your gas mileage will plumit[addsig]

    V-8 gas mileage

    1050210 if you're planning to do a tpi swap i hope you're wallet is rather deep, its actually cheaper to convert with a carb engine, and then buy the fuel injection conversion kits because then you dont have to worry about as much wiring and the computer and such. I have a 350 with a 4bbl...

    Need advice on price

    1050309 i paid 2K for my jeep, stock at the time with 82 k on it....but i bought it locally from someone who needed to get rid of it, not from a dealership, i'd say a 94 with that mileage in the stated condition would probably be worth...retail...anywhere from 4500 - 5500[addsig]

    Engine Swap

    1050368 it depends, if your jeep is a manual, then you have the AX5 transmission, which is crap and not worth reusing so you're better off with the chevy transmission, if you've got a auto check with www.advancedadapters.com they can give you information on the conversion bellhousing you'll...
