4.0, with 31's.

So finally took my MJ out after getting everything fixed up and drove it down the highway. With my foot to the floor (i really mean pedal all the way to the floor) in 5th i could barely keep speed at 65mph any ideas? Then took Ol girl out to some back roads to see how she handled on rough patches, went to turn around and sunk in the sand. No biggie 4x4 right?.....Nope, back tires spinning front tires stationary. Dash light comes on but nothing.

Good stuff, thanks.

1. My radio lights up but doesnt come on... Ideas? 2. Best fluids to run in Axles, Trans, and Transfer? 3. How do I tell what Axles my MJ have?

Okaloosa! Eglin AFB!

ended up just filling threw the radiator hose then topped off at the coolent bottle hose and burped the system. Now running no more then 200 at idle in my driveway for 15min.

Pulled the hose from the radiator, from the engine and pulled the thermostat. Flushed threw all those points, replaced thermostat. left the cap of the resivoir which was filled the the max mark, and fired it up. got to about 210 and stil no fluid was moving threw any of the lines and resivour. What next? Why wasent it pumping? Also replaced my fan's relay and that still didnt come on. Ideas?

Anyone know the best way to drain the cooling system?

I really havent done anything yet, just got it running and wanted to check the temp.

Sorry new, '88 4.0L.

So I finally got my MJ started and first thing I did was watch the temp gauge. (previous owner blew headgasket) its currently 55 out and it was cool for about 4min then got pretty close to the red. I also noticed the electric fan didnt kick on. Tested it, works fine. Where should I go from here?

Thanks everyone for the help, I got the O'l girl to start. So this is a kick in the balls but it turns out there were 2 grounds unplugged. Previous owner did a head gasket and didnt hook them up. They were small ones behind all that junk on the passanger side rear of engine block. I was so lost and just chasing wires and bam stumbled on them. Not done yet new post on Overheating! (prob why it blew a head in the first place!) PS. Darn grounds strike again!

Update: New Distrib New Plugs New Wires New Coil Got the Module check at the parts store and it passed, but is it possible that it is actually bad? They only hook up to the connecters and not the contacts......I havent checked my connecters going into my module, but know the "no spark" is around my module and new coil. Replaced the CPS....what a pain the a$$. Engine turns over and I'm getting fuel, checked all my grounds don't know where to go next. Is there any relays or fuses that could cause this.

I don't see how it can't be some wiring somewhere. Gonna check everything next.

Yes its a '88
