Had a no start issue and checked that I was getting fuel from the pump and all checked ok. Checked the voltage at the coil and was only getting 3.5 volts. I have a ballast resistor in line and get 12v on the hot side and only 3.5 on the side going to the coil. I assume that is the problem. I use...

You'll need to pull the engine or drop the transmission if your doing a replacement. Most likely easier to jack it up on both ends and drop the transmission. I've seen it done both ways.

I have seen one here in Colorado and to be completely honest I hated the way it looked. I think if you do it minimally it might look ok, but doing a whole vehicle in camo is just downright silly. That truck and trailer on the website looks just stupid!

Cool move to Colorado, what part? I would also not count out the CJ7 in your search for a toy (I'm a little partial in that regard). If your ever in my neck of the woods, look me up! Good luck on your jeep hunting.

Mine was a wonderer after my lift was installed and the problem was due to the caster being out. Do you have a lift? If so, did you install caster shims in your leaf springs? If not, you most likely fix the problem by installing the shims. CJ's had around +5 degrees of caster and mine was -1...

Oh, P.S Under no circumstance try to start it with the ignition at first before making sure that the engine is free spinning. Put the transmission in neutral and put a breaker bar on one of the pulleys and give it a go. If it spins freely, then you can use the starter/ignition. I would also...

Well, to start off with 69 is correct. Wiring loves to be bed fellows of rats and other critters and they tend to make beds out of it. I would get it running and once you know it runs I would go ahead and buy a painless wiring kit and get it rewired. The gas tank might be pretty full of sludge...

What happens when you turn your wheels? Have you tried belt ease and if so, does it help? Distributors can make a high pitch whine but usually only when you start it up. Water pump can also make the high pitch sound you are referring to. Anyhow, that is about all I can think of that would cause...

Went ahead and replaced the seal and will torque it down to 180ft lb and just go with it... Didn't replace the crush sleeve so hopefully I don't have to redo anything.

Also for you AMC 20 rear end folks how many threads deep is your nut tightened if you remember. I only had three threads showing out the end....

I noticed my pinion seal leaking and tore it down to replace the seal, but when I went to loosen the pinion nut it took really no force at all to get the nut turning. From everything I have read this thing is a ***** to get off and so I am wondering if the nut being loose is what is causing the...

I noticed that the CTO in my jeep had a vacuum line disconnected and plugged and was wondering how this might affect things? The line going to the EGR is still plugged in. It is a 2 port CTO and the EGR is connected to the bottom port. Should I just connect the upper port to a ported vacuum...

Yes, this is not about "chips" but programmers. With the programmer you cannot have your warranty voided because their is no trace of the programming left behind once disconnected and reset to factory.

Do you have a return line hooked up? Typically if your experiencing this it usually comes from no return line or the return line is connected to a vent on the tank instead which decreases flow. I would also check for kinked lines for the return.

Well, like everything else that is old I would check the following. No particular order. 1. wiring, wiring, wiring (Is it a rats nest?) how many areas of electrical tape can you see? 2. Steering (Do you have a boat load of play in the steering) if so, prob need a steering box 3. Rust (check all...

From what my buddies did to theirs, yes. They did the intake and some did a catback exhaust and then the chip. I would either go this route or since you already have over 100k on your motor I would do a engine swap and also do the chip on the new motor.

I will just say this, read the 636 posts related to using the chips and decide for yourselves. I can't use the thing since mine is too old so I don't have a dog in the race. Superchips installed today.... Review - JeepForum.com

There is nothing that has to be added to the jeep. It is a programmer that you hook up and just run and no fingerprint is left behind once you disconnect it. On top of that it is illegal for a dealer to void your warranty for using after market products on your vehicle.

Not sure I would agree with the term of "tricking" sensors. The mfg of these Jk's aren't using the best programming on their chips and are tuned for emissions control over anything else. The chips simply allow the motor to use the power it has available. I very seriously doubt my buddies in MOAB...
