Like xjmarc said all CJ's were 5 on 5.5". Now Dodge had a few different patterns over the years so I would double check the rims to be sure they are 5 on 5.5".

Re: 1044745 I agree with the above quote. I have my breeds I like more than others, such as Boxers, Labs, Heelers, Shepherds but the rescues seem to know they are lucky and seem to appreciate it. The purebred/AKC certified dogs I have had have been the biggest PITA compared to mixed breeds. To...

Ah,, makes sense now, since it was a budget car.

^^You spent three years with a FD, saw how wonderful that job can be and still ended up going to the dark side. fireman32 where do you work?

Well all I can say is big_o_tom and Bounty Hunter seem to be familiar with the symptoms I experience so I'm not alone. IMO the severity of the above symptoms are certainly worse the shorter the wheelbase, and lighter weight the vehicle. As far as the tires, I have 4 sets of tires for the TJ...

I would pass on them.

I have selectable hubs too. All the above symptoms happen in 2wd with the hubs unlocked, thats how much just a rear Detroit locker can affect the handling.

YEAH! good for you

Glad to see some people here can relate to my quirky locker issues. IMO for a DD or mild off road the Detroit true trac is the best LSD to have. If you need a locker then the Detroit locker is my choice. The True trac still makes some noise, but not as much as a Detroit locker and not nearly as...

I'd agree the Detroit true trac is a good LSD.

And people complain my state of IL is screwed up, which it is, but this just blows.

I agree a Detroit Locker is extremely durable and not as ratchety as a lunch box locker. But my experience with lunch box lockers is fairly limited. I also agree the selectable lockers are very pricey, and not as reliable as a Detroit locker. Both of my lockers are full case Detroits and will...

Get a lawyer. Around here it is pretty much common knowledge a bank will not finance anything older than 7 years old. So if you need to finance a older car purchase then you have to buy from a used car dealer. The 57000 miles is a moot point to the bank, they do not assess extra value for low...

I think cured gasket is just another way of saying; RTV, silicone, Gasket in a tube, ultra blue, ultra grey, Permatex, and any number of gasket making compounds that come in a tube and you squeeze onto the surface and allow to cure in order to make a good seal.

What kind of driving does your Jeep see? Have you ever driven a vehicle with detroit lockers before, especially a short wheelbase vehicle?

Just for clarity even though this has been said above. Curb weight= weight of your vehicle including full tank of fuel, coolant, and oils without passengers or cargo. GVW= Curb weight plus passengers and cargo. In your case #4040. GVWR= The maximum GVW the mfg. says the vehicle is rate for. In...

Very cool

What 6 cyl engine? It should be a Dauntless V6 not a I6. Steering should be a Ross style which can have a lot of slop in them. Axles should be D44 rear, D27 front, with small drum brakes all around, trans is a T90 3spd with a Dana 18 t-case. Original 9500mi, I doubt it very much. Look at the...

BH can't you do an Ohm test like on old style coils?
