    Clutch just went to floor

    Sounds to me like the clutch master cylinder has a seal blown out in it. Mine did that. Wasn't leaking anywhere. had no clutch pedal, could pull it up by hand and it would stay, but it wont work the clutch. Found out it was an internal seal in the master cylinder. Not building any pressure. No...

    Too much heat.

    if you are reffering to the fan still runs, the top slider bar that has heat and defrost selections on it, when it is slid all the way to the left it will shut the fan off. As far as the heat (bottom slide bar), if you are still getting heat when you have it slid over to the cold side it might...

    Running hot

    could be your cat converter plugging up that is causing it to run hot. Happened to me. I have an '87 YJ with the 258 4.2L. Overheated all the time, couldnt do any rock crawlin' cause it would start steaming soon after putting it in low range. Checked everything, flushed everything, ran without a...

    Intake & Carb improvement

    When i had my cj, I had the 360 in it and i used an Edelbrock Performer intake. It works good for crawling to high performance...idle to 5500rpm. Yet it retains stock height so that the air cleaner is nowhere near the hood. I had a Holley 750cfm double pumper on it, but i dont advise this carb...

    New lift vibration issue's

    Drop the t-case another 1/2" like you said. I have a 3 1/2" suspension lift and 1 1/2 shackles. The longer shackles in the rear automatically rotate your rear pinion upwards. I put the 1" drop down on the skid plate but it wasn't enough, so I had to go to 1 1/2 drop and i put the 2 degree shims...

    first tank on motorcraft with half on offy intake

    wow! thats great superj, I have an Edelbrock 2BBL on my offy intake and it performs good til it gets warm out. then i seem to have fuel vaporizing before it gets to the carb. was considering the MC 2100, but was told that all i need to do is insulate the steel line from the pump(on the block) to...

    death wobble

    I have an '87, and after installing my suspension lift, i had the same "death wobble" at around 45 mph. got it aligned and it was better but still there. put new urethane bushings in the sway bar, still there. What it finally ended up being was the tires. rotated the tires on the wheels so they...

    Dumb wiring question...

    The one with the stripe is positive, which you will need to know if you ever put LED lights in. And if you want to be really cool about it, connect 1 lead to the parking wire positive and the other lead to the positive side of the turn signal wire. When your lights are on the marker light blinks...

    transmission swap

    I just bought an AX15 used, that was mated to an NP231. What LGR was telling you is correct. The AX15 will bolt to your bell housing, but in order to use the internal slave/throwout bearing(from your old trans) you will need to change your nose cone on the front of the transmission. And you need...

    Dependability of the 4.2

    I have an '87 with the 4.2L in it. i think its a very dependable motor. And as LGR stated the stock carb is junk, i put an edelbrock 2BBL on mine and its flawless. The 5spd is (unless it has been changed) the Peugot BA10, and mine finally went at 185000+ on the odometer. If you wheel hard, the...

    Engine Swap

    You can put whatever motor you want in a cj, it all depends on how you drive it once its in there. The drivetrain from a cj, even with the dana 44 axle wasnt designed to handle the torque of a big block motor. Sure you can squeal tires a few times, but if you plan on any serious 'wheelin' or...

    NP231 shift pattern

    Actually, the tag on the back of the t-case says that its a NP231 with a 2.72 ratio. It has me baffled.

    NP231 shift pattern

    I know this sounds strange, and I couldnt believe it myself. But, a friend just bought an '87 Wrangler with a 258c.i.d. and an ax5 manual transmission with an NP231 transfercase. The shift pattern on his is as follows: with the shifter closest to the dash(normally 2H) its in low range. pull it...

    Exhaust headers for a 4.2

    The problem that you will encounter is the exhaust will be directly under your automatic when it crosses over. the collector on the header sits too far back to get the pipe to cross over where the stock exhaust runs. Then you will run into the problems of mounting the cat and muffler. It will...

    Leaky diffs

    Lube Locker gaskets are awesome, as long as everything is clean, after you scrape it down, clean it with a can of carb cleaner and a rag. then let it sit for a few minutes and wipe it down again, the carb cleaner will loosen the rtv silicone. and when you re install torque evenly. one other...
