There are MJs out there that aren't basket cases? :eek:

Everywhere. :D it's easy enough to clean up. But if the engine bay is soaked, it would stand to reason that the rear seal is pretty bad.

If you properly licensed your junk, would the city back off somewhat?

I'd probably show up with a fuel filter in my hand (and 500 in my pocket) and offer to change it for him. Mostly because I'd love to see his reaction when I call his bluff. If the new filter doesn't fix it, I'd offer $400. Could be any number if issues causing the sputtering.

Sprinkle baby powder around. the water will make little trails through it. :thumbsup:

There are some aftermarket versions around. Not sure if you can still get them new though.

Mine looked fine too, but wouldn't keep out water along the entire length. Try the baby powder trick. That's how I found the hood seal issue. :thumbsup:

Probably theft concerns. Technically I'm not even allowed to say where the buildings are. :dunno:

Stock uppers? But back to your question, what is your caster currently set to?

Front axle is a Dana 30. Dana 35 is a rear axle for Jeeps. :thumbsup: Do you have adjustable control arms? Were the arms designed for the 3.5" coils and the pucks added in later?

Save your data somewhere else and then start from scratch. :thumbsup:

Yup, those be the 2 official images. Here are a couple slightly better resolution ones for ya: :thumbsup:

I run firefox and I manual approve/deny all cookies. Haven't had any issues since running explorer years ago. :dunno: I am playing around with a script-blocker, though it's mostly for fun rather than being worried about anything.

I squirted some silicone along in the gasket to help it keep its shape.

I don't remember, but any pics of the thunderchief? Hands down THE COOLEST, MOST B-A comanche ever. Rob L. Nope. I wasn't allowed to take any pictures in the storage buildings. :(

Chrysler museum. For such a short run production vehicle, they've got at least 5 MJs. (not all on display though) 2 stock, 1 scca, 1 land speed and the Thunderchief

I had water rushing in past the rear seal on the hood (which trickled down and found its way past the firewall following some wires).

Aluminum may not "rust" per se, but it will corrode to dust all the same. :thumbsup:

Oh, I thought you were talking about the 8.8 shafts. :doh: I think the rule of thumb for the bigger Dana 30 U-joints is ABS and/or 96+ :thumbsup:

All explorer axleshafts are the same strength. Other Ford products have the lesser versions (like rangers and Aerostars) 95+ have the disk brakes. :thumbsup: ABS doesn't matter for our trucks. You just snip the wires to the sensor if it's there.

:D Ok, so that probably doesn't count. Chief ftw. With the hood stripes of course. :D

don't forget to use anti-seize on the bolts. :thumbsup:

That might have more to do with the fact that they are being bolted to a truck bed. Not exactly the sort of base I would suggest for the huge force that the crane will effect on it.

Whichever one you can find with a better gear ratio in it. Then get a front to match. :thumbsup: And upgrade those front shafts if you haven't yet.

Due to geometry, the truck will drop half the distance. :thumbsup:
