RE: wanted 81-86 cj7 hey guys im back again. mines a 87' w/ 258 and ba10/5. have any of you ever had a problem where at start-up she makes the most god-aweful sound but starts up fine every time? I ve tried 3 different starters with the same problem. the flex plate is in place and the flywheel...

The other day i noticed that my drivers side turn indicator wasnt flashing, it was steady, so this to me indicates a blown turn signal bulb. I replaced the bulb and its still the same. The passenger side signals work fine so i dont think its the relay and the fuse is fine. Could it be the turn...

I was looking at the rear of my jeep today trying to figure out the best way to tie a custom bumper into the frame. I looked on www.jeepfabrication.com and they show how to tie it in to the frame but they only show tie-ins on tj's and I was wondering how I could do this on a yj with the shackles...

:x OK. No matter how i hook up the pcv i still have enough pressure to make oil come out of the dip stick tub. I have the short dipstick tube, its like 3 inches long. What is the problem here?? Would a longer dipstick tube fix it or does the engine just have too much blowby. In my opinion the...

Ive been fixen on changing the transmission oil but i have yet to come by something to fit the transmission drain plug. It looks as though a 3/8 ratchet will fit it but its too big so i tried 1/4 and thats the too small. Is there a special socket that is made for this kind plug or do i have to...

My tail shaft seal has been leaking for a while now and ive finally got a chance to replace it but i was wondering if the seal for the 231 can be used on the 207 because i havent been seein many oil seals for the 207. I appreciate any help. Thanks. od

Tug, ive been having trouble with oil leakage at the distributor and ive never really found a good hookup for my PCV, so I was wondering where you hooked yours up to when you did the motorcraft carb swap. Thanks. od

This, to me, is quite strange. Im getting oil in the distributor to the point that it is running down the side of the engine and dripping onto the ground in decent amounts. I myself have never heard of this happening. Has anybody here ever heard of this happening? I was thinking that maybe a...

Well, I finally did it. I put a rebuilt 258 in my 87' about a month ago. So far everything is fine so far except for a small oil leak. It would'nt bother me if it weren't for the fact that it gets on the exhaust. My first suspect was the rear main but i just replaced it with the rebuild while i...

I fixen on replacing the u-joints on the rear drive shaft of my '87 w/ 207 T-case. Anybody have any recommendations on a good strong u-joint? Also, is the NP207 a slipyoke like the NP231? It sure does look like it. Thanks for any help. od

I've got a friend with a 2000 wrangler who wants to put a lift on his TJ. He is looking at spring spacers for his lift and/or body mounts. I've delt with body lifts before but not the spring spacers since ive only ever had CJ's and YJ's. What are their advantages? How about disadvantages? He is...

I have a hard top that I had on my '87 wrangler and on my '79 CJ7 prior to that. It was made for a CJ though due to the lift gate overhang, but it fits the wranglers nicely. It has tinted windows and a dome light w/o the cover. There aren't any cracks just a little rough at the bottom edge. I...

Im soon to be installing on board air off of an engine driven compressor and I was wondering what line i should use from the compressor to the tank. I was thinking to use just regular air hose like we use in the shop. This should do fine shouldn't it? Thanks. od

My buddy has a '99 cherokee with the 4.0 and the aux engine fan wont shut off. It stayed on for like 20 min after shut down before we intervened. I unhooked the fan to shut it off. Could this be a thermostat sensor or something? Also it is having a hard time idling. Think maybe a fuel problem...

Slave cylinder A couple of years ago, me and my brother were out mudding on an old logging road in south central PA and we got stopped by the DCNR. He fined us of course and I asked him if pa has any designated areas for offroading and he said that only mountain roads that we can travel on are...

I'm about ready to swap out my tired engine for a rebuilt one and i'm changing the the clutch while im in there and I was wondering what the procedure is to change from an internal to an external slave cylinder. The engine is a 258 and the transmission is a peugeot. The jeep is an '87. Any help...

I just got a 258 out of an 84 eagle car and i'm going to swap it into my '87 wrangler. The engine mounts on the pre-87 258's are the flat single stud kind and they switched to the newer kind in 87. My question is, will the engine mount arms from the 87 bolt up to the 84 block? Did AMC they keep...

I thought I'd trrow this out here and see what I get back before I jump into another repair. I have MC 2150 with a manual choke and sometimes she just wont idle at temp. I've set the idle mixture screws and for the most part she runs great, but on occasion it'll take a couple high revs and some...

I have an '87 wrangler with the 258 and I was wondering about the vacuum switches located above the valve cover on the fire wall. There are two side by side with a wiring harness coming from them. Are they emissions related or somethin else. They are currently unhooked but I was wondering what...
