i already got the transmission.the owner said he would take it back if it didnt fit.i was just trying to make sure before i pull the old one.

long story short,the 2.8 a/t tranny is starting to slip in drive.i found one at a salvage yard for $300 with supposedly 92k miles on it.the trans i got has a crank sensor mounted to it but is definitly the same style trans.I'm sure it comes out of a 4cyl comanche.the owner of the yard says he thinks they interchange.what does the crowd say?

i got some fronts off ebay and i agree.they were better than nothing but they were poor quality.

you can pick up cheap noid light sets and fuel pressure gauge sets at harbor freight.you never know when theyll come in handy again.

maybe I'm misunderstanding,so your saying the flywheel doesnt have pins in it or places to install the pins?

i wouldnt run it without them.the bolts don't actually center the pressure plate,they just hold it in place.

was wondering the same thing

i had to get xj pans and beat and trim them too.of course they make mj pans after I'm done lol.

i tried the hesco high flow pump and t stat housing many years ago my old 88 and seen absolute 0 difference except a water pump that lasted no time.the water wetter i tried on different vehicles and it was a waste as well.

i used the siless brand off of amazon.it was in sheets that you just cut and peel.it did a good job of quieting the cab but I'm sure it would be a mess too remove.

ive learned most of the time its best to get a locally owned glass company instead of safelite.we had a customer ask if he could get safelite to replace his windsheld while i was putting an engine in his truck.i told him not a problem but i had nothing to do with it.they broke one of his wiper arms and scratched the crap out of his a pillars.for some reason he thought i was responsible since safelite washed there hands of it since it was done on my lot.i told him to have a nice day and not come back.

damn.havent seen that tool in almost 25 years lol.

a stepper motor exerciser is a tool that you hook directly to the iac and two leads to the battery.you can manually move the idle up and down to break free a sticking iac or test that if the iac moves at all.the dealership i worked at in the 90s and early 2000s had one.thats the only place i ever seen one.

thats seems so much simpler idea.ill check into that,thanks

thanks for the info
