Your steering gear box is a GM Saginaw box, and was used on Jeep XJs/MJs from 84-96. It was also used in GM autos throughout these same years (Chevys, Olds, Pontiacs, Buicks, etc.). A manual steering box from these GM vehicles will bolt on to your MJ, although you will probably have to reuse your existing Pitman arm, and the steering ratio might be slower or faster, depending on the internal gearing. :cheers:

This poor rollover victim was repaired good as new by the method the Wildman mentioned above, and it's probably worse than the one you are looking at. So it can be done, IF you know what you are doing. :cheers: But w/o pics, it's hard to advise. What's the seller asking for it?? Image Not Found

Sort of. By changing to the SAE thread it enabled utilization of larger filters than the puny metric filters, like the 5.178" and 6.93" Ford filters. Added a quart or more to the total oil capacity. Not a bad thing.

Keep your eye on it. :D

Make sure you get new o-rings (or get a kit from the dealer, p/n 4720363) or it will most likely leak. :eek:

Glad it worked for you. :cheers:

Yep - I recognize that dyno room in Birmingham. :D

Have you started it, placed a voltmeter across the batt terminals, and read the voltage at 1500 RPM or so? Should be at least 13.5VDC.

No they are not. They changed about mid-year 1991. Do a search on the Advance site for "Sway Bar End Links" using a 1991 Comanche as the vehicle. You'll need p/n S-18162. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Suspension-Sway-Bar-Link-Kit-OE-Brand_15510807-P_78_R|GRPCHASAMS____

True for stock engines, not so much for strokers though. Not so flat. But even for a stock lawn and garden engine in good health it's wise to spend 50 bucks or so to get a dyno run done to see exactly where the efficiency and peak sweet spots are, otherwise you're just guessing.

Speaking of high RPMs: I'll never forget the first time I brought the MJ back to Hesco for my first dyno run about a year after I had installed their crate engine and done some exhaust and intake mods. The man himself, Lee Hurley did the test, while I watched. He made several short runs up to 5000 ear-splitting screaming RPMs while I cringed, held my breath, and waited for the engine to explode. It didn't, and when he handed me the the new printouts, it was a pretty good increase in torque/HP over the originals. Since then I've had 3-4 more dyno runs all done by Lee (he likes MJs :D) after other mods I've done to confirm the improvements, and I'm not nervous anymore. These engines can spool up pretty well for short bursts, as all the ricers in my town now realize, although I don't do it often since I've snapped and axle w. the freaking D35. It's fun though..

Or you can pick up an original set from a 1991+ XJ or MJ. They are about 1-1/2" longer than the ones you have now. Work fine for my 3" lift. :cheers:

70 MPH = 2600 RPM for moi. My normal sweet spot cruisin' speed. :brows:

Yep, I agree. I run 4.10s with 31" on the AW4. It runs about 200-300 RPM higher across the board than it with the stock 3.55 gearing and stock tires, but mileage actually increased 2-3 MPG on the highway and stayed about the same in town. I think the 4.10 ratio w. 31" tires is ideal for the AW4 and it's .75 final O/D ratio. :cheers:

Ah, why didn't you say that before? The blue wire (according to my FSM) is the connector you plug in the electric brakes on a trailer. Apply your brakes and see if you get a voltage.

Correct. The blue wire is the hot 12V supply to your license plate lamp; the black is the ground. Plugging them together is a direct short to ground (fuse blow) when you turn the parking lights on.

I don't know CW, it may be just coincidence, but every experience I've had with Goodyear tires over the years has been negative. In several instances with new cars and trucks the factory Goodyears were so out-of-round they could not be balanced, and the replacement warranty tires were even worse. Goodyear GSA's are a joke for this same reason, and I've tried other Goodyear ATs and had the same problems. Never again. I love BFG ATs and MTs, and have also used similar Firestones with good results. So unless Goodyear has changed and finally manufactured a round tire w. good tread wear, I'd stay away. :cheers:

93-98, all models.

You must have a handle on all the Jeeps in your province Taz. :D What's the running gear in your J-truck?

When I read a post like that (texting, no punctuation, and crappy spelling), I ignore it. It's just laziness, stupidity, or a combination of both. :nuts:

Check for a clogged catalytic converter.
