The one and the same. :D Thanks for the help getting a replacement hose. :cheers: And please keep me posted on the Samco hoses. I might miss the announcement.

Fronts for sure. Rear TJ springs are different in shape.

Dang it. Someone might beat me to a CRD MJ! Of course, our CRD Libby is still running great (a new record of 33.3 mpg on the trip computer this past week) and I won't get a shot at the conversion unless we total it somehow... :roll: Good luck and take LOTS of pictures!!! :cheers: (I'll need something to copy off of :brows: )

Update. The Libby set a new record on the way down to Georgia. Dad said he got a best of 33.3 mpg on the trip computer. I've cleaned the sensors and dropped in a fresh air filter since last time.

A set of Explorer leafs (retaining your main leaf) would provide drop in the back and they are about the same length as an MJ leafpack.

As far as I know, the 2.5 and 4.0 share power steering boxes.

Yes, the Durango box is supposed to be a good upgrade to the Jeep boxes. There's a post somewhere on NAXJA about it. I'm not at home so I don't have my saved addresses. If you haven't found it by Tuesday I'll post it when I get home.

The AX-15 is the one that came from behind a 4.0L. The AX-5 goes to the 2.5/2.8 Yes, it looks like an external AX-15 to me Yes, your CPS will work If your current backup switch has a different plug, just splice in yours. Yes your mechanical speedo should work, but you may need to swap shafts on the gears.

I disagree. I've watched the electrolysis in action and my engine sucks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more air than these devises can produce. Besides, what keeps the H2 from combining with 02 in the intake air and forming water before it ever reaches the engine? Bottom line, when a legitimate and trustworthy source like popular mechanics or a scientific newspaper says that this is for real, I'll believe. When fly-by-night websites and youtube videos are selling the concept, it's bunk.

Upload at a site like picturetrail.com and bring the pic's address here. Highlight it and click on the IMG tag. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. :cheers:

The alternator can only produce so much H2. I have strong doubts that it's enough to actually affect anything in any way. Also, it doesn't make any sense that GM or Ford wouldn't be jumping all over this crap to make their big trucks get 40 mpg. Or are they in kahutes (sp?) with big oil? :roll: Maybe big oil is secretly balancing out the big 3's losses with oil's huge profits? :yes:

Take a camera with you. :D

Hmmm, good to know. I'll check into that when I get home. :thumbsup:

No one can make H2 with electrolysis using the car's engine and come out in the positive. It breaks the laws of physics because it takes more energy to make the H2 than you can get from it in propulsion. That's a negative gain. Shutting down 4 cylinders on the other hand... :brows:

As you can see, I prefer lower vehicles on bigger tires. Don't forget that any lift will screw up your alignment. The taller the lift, the more it changes. My 90 4x4 on Jeep 15x6s and 31x10.5" tires with stock lower control arms. My 90 4x4 on Jeep 15x7s and 31x10.5" tires with WJ lower control arms (they have a bend in them that keeps the tires from rubbing) My 86 4x4 on Jeep 15x6s and 31x11.5" tires. My 88 2wd (sits one inch lower than 4wds) with 15x7 Jeep rims and 30x9.5" tires

If you try the grease method, make sure you are wearing eye protection. I tried it and had grease squirt out in my face (I had goggles on).

Wost case scenario, a calculator is all you need. You're looking for either a literal "4 10", "3 55", etc on the tag, or you'll find the tooth count for the pinion and ring gear, "41 10", "39 11", etc, and then divide. 39 divided by 11 gives a 3.54 ratio.

I found this online:

There's one sitting at the Chrysler building in Michigan. Someone go sneak in with a couple wrenches and find out. :D

Questions should really be put into the Tech forum. That way more people will see them. :D Nice truck!

That site is a SCAM. The laws of physics state that you can't get something for nothing. There's no way to use the battery to produce H2 to put into the engine to turn the alternator to charge the battery to produce H2. It's a losing proposition. The Mythbusters did an episode where they covered it. Google it and see.

Pilot bearings require a "pilot bearing removal tool". Anyone that has gotten one out using any other method is exceedingly lucky in my opinion.

Nope. Sorry. :D

Don't know yet (they've owned it all of a week now). But we saw a turtle yesterday. :D

sigh... :roll:
