Greg, Thank you for the compliment. I really do appreciate it. However at the same time I cant help but stress to everyone to share responsible information. Take Blacksjeep's situation for example. everything said ECM, and it probably Was originally caused by the ecm going bad when the...

the warn winch I miss And would love to have on my GC's is the old side winder. because of the large diameter drum there wasn't as much of an issue with keeping the cable spooled straight, and it didn't loose as much strength per layer. Plus its mount was an engine skidplate... If you remember...

In that fuel line, you may want to reroute it up the firewall and splice some braided in to bring it over to the carb, keeping it completely away from the header, I don't recall where the mechanical pump is mounted on the AMC block... so This MAY be an issue if you don't go back to an electric...

Thanks ! I'm itching to get out and do work on my jeeps but this weather just isn't cooperating and you know, its an addiction!

You are close. The confusion comes in on which end you are looking at it from Every time you double the number of lines from the PULL SOURCE (in this case the winch), you halve the weight felt at the pull point. example if a single line pull is drawing 10000 pounds, doubling it cuts it to...

Every time you add a pulley into the loop you DO multiply the pull strength this is simple applied physics. For every doubling of pull (from vehicle to hookup point) you double the strength so one loop turns 10K to 20K bring it back to the anchor point and back to the vehicle again ( two...

your quote is misquoted That wasn't Confucious, it was Nanook of the North's mother! Just ask Frank Zappa! (watchout where those huskies go, and dont you eat that yelllooow snooooowww!)

Actually lean issues CAN do massive harm. a lean running engine can over heat the pistons which are just cast aluminum and cause them to melt and throw slag about in the cylinder, blowing the engine. Forged pistons being harder are not as prone to this but can be affected as well, Higher...

there is an old saying in the engineering arena, KISS (Keep it simple stupid) sadly most automotive engineers don't know it, but it works wonderful in trouble shooting, and you have explained it well, follow a methodical approach. pick the most obvious problem and follow it to the end. sure...

never ever dispose of something unless it is proven bad, besides it always fun to pawn them off for a good April fools joke...:mad:

fuel pump isn't manual, it is electric. I suspect this is part of the issue, the regulator isn't working. I suggest he goes back to the mechanical pump for the time being, get everything working then deal with the electric pump later. with all the problems mechanical fuel pumps could have...

This is where the old engineering adage of the KISS PRINCIPLE comes in. (keep it simple stupid) return as much of it to original as you can and start from scratch. this means pull the cap and cables make sure the cap and rotor are good, reinstall, check the plugs and cables and make sure they...

I agree except for covering it... every covered winch I have seen and helped the owner work on had moisture induced issues as the cover prevented them from drying all the way in the sun. Decades back I used to cover mine, and had all kinds of electrical issues, lost the cover on a trip down...

the site REALLY needs the Like module installed... it will show people the validity of a post by a simple click by other people without posts like this one where I agree with both of you on the strap vs chain and the receiver pin...

for the money, they are the best single investment you can make. Even when you are not using them. NOTHING prevents people from being idiots on the road in front of you, in a parking lot or a drive through than a massive winch on the front of your jeep NO bull bar set up will ever come close...

agree more than 100% allows

sway bar DISCONNECTS are designed to unlock the sway bar for maximum articulation off road, and easy reconnect when returning to pavement for maximum on road safety never remove them completely as a sudden emergency maneuver on road can induce massive amounts of body roll, causing a major...

Not to argue, but personal experience has proven that to be pure nonsense Ive stalled 12000 Lb Warns over the years. That rating is only good for the first layer of cable on the drum and every layer after that it decreases substantially. Add your vehicle and cargo weight, and any thing that...

many mfgs throw the term "military grade" around. however no electric winch is true military grade. the only ones that are, are power take off (pto) or hydraulic. The military spec specifically eliminates electric winches as they are at risk of being shorted out in salt water.

If you have the cash, new IS the best bet, however, they still have to program it for your Jeep. its how they are made, just like your smart phone, it has a program that it runs to make things work. That's not a big thing, its the "how long will it last" that makes you wonder. over the...
