I hate Land rovers, they are wanna be jeeps in my opinion.

I look thanks, mine just cracked and the whole 2.5 is starting to tick me off.

Does anyone know if they make aluminum valve covers for a 2.5?

Thanks Vacuum lines somewhere maybe. might of hit something replacing it all, who knows.

I think that you solved your own problem.

Ah, found it thanks now to see if I can get it fixed, tomorrow.

Well I havent made much progress lately, but am slowly working up to it. I finally got around to gettting the much needed valve cover gasket. I was leaking oil all over the valve cover. Then once I started to pull off the valve cover, I noticed that the bolts were merely tight. Only hand tight! (PO!!!!! :fs1:) Pulled off the gasket, and the gasket was pretty new. (was leaking because the bolts were not tightened) The Valve cover right when I took it off. Some engine de-greaser A little bit of scrubbing and........ I cleaned up the silver lines some and now it looks even better. Now some may know that I am a AMC addict, and that my engine compartment needed some color :D I think it looks nice, a nice touch :yes: And the (somewhat) finished product!!!! The reason I said somewhat is because one of the freaking bolts broke when I was putting the bolts back in. :fs1: :rant: :mad: :wall: And my engine now is idling really high. So now I am going to take it in sometime soon and get it removed and replaced. She will have to hold right now.

Thanks for that link, and where is the MAP? that is the only thing where I don't know where it is at. lol

It just started, It has a high Idle, so high I don't even have to give it gas to take of in 1st gear. Any ideas on what it could be? The cable didnt seem to be stuck anywhere.

Yeah I was reading that and didnt know wheather or not they worked for you, He said they did and I didnt know for sure. Thanks for telling me.

Thanks for a link to that thread, It helped a lot. Thanks for the advice guys!

So I was reading that if you put Bushwaker or the Napier cut out flares on a long bed, they will cover up the gas tank lid. Is this true? If so is there people that have made them work? If you have any pics they will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I think GM might be their major client due to the lack of GM vehicles I could see in their simulations. So they are "suggesting" that Chrysler and Ford vehicles are accident prone. Advertising 101. I could see that being true. Probrably is too.

If you use the 4.0, you will have to do some firewall work to fit it in there.

:agree: :rotf: Do they think that off roaders in jeeps and soccer moms in dodge minivans are more prone to wrecking?

Last time I checked, Jeeps werent Ford Pintos

hahahha I argued with a girl once about my MJ, I told her I drive a Jeep truck and she said there is a diffrence between a Jeep and a truck. I said no Jeep made a jeep truck and I drive one. She still didnt believe me so I told her to look outside in the parking lot and tell me what it looks like to you. That shut her up

Thanks for the pic! it helped!

Ahhhh ok, Thanks for clearing that up

So WJ arms are not as big, therefore the tires won't rub or rub as bad when at full lock? Are they the same length/ (sorry don't know much about it)

Will this work?? Gotta have the beverage holder!!! :cheers: http://www.quadratec.com/products/72151_0101.htm

A good manual trans for the 4.0 is a AX-15 If you want an auto tranny for the 4.0, you can also get an AW-4 By the way Welcome to the club!!!

I was neck and neck with an Xj and he stopped at the light and I was in the turning lane. He looked like he saw a ghost, trying to figure out what the heck I was driving.

There is a flat bed Comanche for sale down in Arkansas, Its a Comanche X that they swapped the engine to a 4.3 vortec. it was $1100
