I checked this out when I was thinking of installing the Isuzu D44. The wires on the pumpkin are for the anti-lock brake option. It's not for a locker (Isuzu never offered one) or an electric limited slip carrier.

That's a no-brainer as to why. With all the attention he has been getting on this MJ, including me, he now has visions of mega-$$ dancing in his head. Sure like to know what he paid the junkyard for it when he rescued it. But big kudos to him for doing just that. :cheers:

I had a little blow-by originally and got rid of it by removing and cleaning up the towers and flapper valves inside the cover, cleaning the CCV orifice, and upgrading to the larger late model CCV hoses and fittings. Just what is accomplished by sawing off the vent towers and drilling the 1/2" hole? Better ventilation? Not questioning the wisdom or non-wisdom of this mod, just curious and what does it do? "A buddy at JeepTech" is the best reference? :dunno:

I remember reading over on Allpar that a bad ASD relay could throw the 36 fault code and not throw the ASD fault code 42. Try swapping out the ASD relay with another similar relay in the PDC (Power Distribution Center), right side engine bay, then clear the codes by disconnecting the battery. Can't hurt.

Wanna sell the rear chrome step bumper?

Yes, I lost some of those too when I did mine years ago. On my 91 the gaskets were a clear film, very thin. Just used a very thin coat of hi-temp copper RTV on each side of the flapper for the ones that I lost. Worked well with no problems. In a later post with a pic of my dog, I saw where one of the gaskets went - on the floor. The little bastid probably stole it to play with it. :D

:rotf: Over on the strokers forum. BTW, these are available in 4.6L, 4.7L, and 5.0L versions @ $45/ea. Made from CNC plasma cut 6061 Aluminum with polished raised lettering, hand painted.

Finish your lift, then measure if the front axle is centered in the wheelwell flares using a straight edge parallel upright (2 x 4). If the axle is equally centered, UB OK. I needed adj. lower LCAs w. a 3" lift as the axle went 3/4" off center. With 2" you probably will not need adjustables.

Incorrect spelling only in American English, correct for the rest of the world. That's good enough for me since American English was plagiarized and adapted from many other country's native languages. In this case, from the original French measurement litron. :smart: Anyway, who cares. :cheers:

I'm using Morris 4x4 Center a lot lately. They have everything and there's always a promo going on with 10%-15% off. Shipping is cheaper than other sites too, and very fast. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/ Ones to avoid? Motion Offroad.

1995 and up I think Charlie. :cheers:

Then use your original rear cables (or MJ replacements) with Ford brake clevis brackets to hook up to the Ford e-brake lever.

The reason I say 87-88 is because I have a Jeep MJ factory body repair manual that shows all the decals and moldings for the various trim levels. 87 and 88 are the only years listed for the Laredo. It lists the available body side moldings as Silver/Argent or Gray Textured. But who knows with Jeep back then. There were probably left overs that were sold as 89 or even 90 models. :dunno:

Pretty sure the MJ Laredo trim level models were offered in 87-88 only. There's a very old local guy (85+) in my town who has a white 88 Laredo w. a D44, cargo light, 4x4, towing package, metric ton, and many other other goodies he bought new. About 88K on it and he starts it regularly. He special ordered just about every option offered at the time, even the super rare AM/FM/CD player. It's been up on blocks for at least 10 years since he stopped driving it and I've been trying to buy it for about as long. He can't drive anymore, all alone, and can barely walk. But he still has plans to drive it again. I like talking to him a lot and stop in every now and then to yak-yak. He's a very knowledgeable Jeep/Studebaker guy and has a lot of stories to tell. And yes, he has a couple of nice Stude pickups too that run and drive fine. Won't sell those either.

As Alexia stated.

Yeah Jay it should be done. There are plenty of places that can repop quality badges if given a sample. I've requested a few quotes from various vendors but they are stupid expensive in small lots, especially those with raised letters. I really doubt 100 or so buyers would pony up so they could be had at a reasonable cost. And it would still be a repop, but that's better than nothing I guess.

I come up with Nada for those numbers Jim.

Noooooooooo. Metric Ton (even though, 89-92 MJs were called Big Ton). :D

Thanks Jake. :cheers:

Looks like a modified Laredo. Beautiful truck.

Yes, check the plugs for sure. Another think I'd try is checking the timing and advance. Hook up a timing light and verify that it's steady on the timing cover mark at both idle and advances steadily when increasing the idle to 2000-3000 RPM or so. I guessing it will be jumping all around at idle and steady at higher RPMs. Didn't you have some distributor problems awhile back? :hmm:

Not necessarily. The only positive way is to pull the cover and count the teeth of the R & P gears, then divide the number of ring teeth by the number of pinion teeth. Tags can sometimes lie.
