How did you bleed them the first time?

Yupp. And when I replaced the pump it did the same thing. I checked continuity to ground and I have .05 ohms so I've got a good ground what are the chances the brand new pump I ordered is bad?

88 4.0 5 speed. I tried the ballest resistor thing but that didn't work either

I was teaching a friend how to drive stick in my truck because he just bought a new car and can't drive it. Well we were in a parking lot and he went to take off and the truck hiccupped a few times and then dies. I assumed he let the clutch out to quick but then it wouldnt start and I couldn't hear the fuel pump. Well I checked a few things tried switching a couple relays around and that didn't help. I then ran a jumper wire from the positive side of the battery down to the pump and it only clicked. But I only have .45 volts coming out of the relay. Any ideas?

Went on a 1500 mile trip this last week at 75mph the truck gets about 21 mpg

Don't I have to pull off the head to do that?

I'm pretty sure my issue is valves. I just took the truck on a 1500 miles round trip at 75mph and didn't burn any oil. But at start up and before the engine gets up to temp I get a lot of smoke at idle, and when I take off from a stop I get a big puff and thats it. Is it fairly safe to assume that i have a valve issue?

Hey any members in the Hobart portage indiana area? I drove past a guy in a flat black mj with a roll bar that waved at me in my 88. Curious if he's on here

Sounds like a guy that was trying to sell his 86 but kept talking about what a piece of $#!& it was instead of giving us info about the truck.

I have rocker panels

Are you using oem shocks?

well I'm swapping out the original 2wd springs so I'm thinking i might get some lift. is that why you got the v8 zj coils for the front?

Fair enough lol

I know my 88 has the smaller one. My 86 had the bigger one but it had a/c and cruise control which from what I read is the reason for the bigger canister. That's all I really know about them. I hope that helps

Trans fluid is better than seafoam. Its a detergant so it cleans but still gives lubrication. I personal wouldnt drive that way. I put 2 QTS in my old f150 let it idle for an hour and reved it up every once in a while and then drained the oil while everything was still pretty warm.

It sounded like you were planning on buying the pioneer stripes. I didn't know you actually had.

So has anyone actually bought these stickers?

Did you get any lift from the springs?

Interesting.

How many miles?

Much appreciated

I don't think the rotors are the same. Aren't the studs on a 2wd on the rotor while on a 4x4 they are on the hub. I know that's how it is on most other trucks. Haven't done the brakes on my 2wd yet

Clayton I thought you were selling your mj?

Well I'm looking at hells creek MT springs

I've heard rumors that metric ton leaves will give me 2-3" of lift. But since they are OEM springs can I just use OEM shocks? I'd like have 3" of lift. Will metric ton leaves give me any lift or keep me at stock hight? And what shocks should I go with?
