  1. ZJ box for a better ratio, new pump installed, new belt is on tight, I don't get bubbles, but still I get no assistance when the truck is stopped. what am I missing? I'm off to town to see if I can rent a vacuum bleeder. it's got to be a bubble somewhere.
  2. snagged a local direct replacement so this has moved to the hypothetical.
  3. and on Halloween proper. guess he's not yet tired of pretending to be a rodent.
  4. my godson at trunkortreat last weekend and his brother experiencing his first ever virtual reality sim (walking around the titanic)
  5. I keep seeing late model XJ upgrades (to a WJ unit). do the early years have one too? ZJ maybe?
  6. today I learned that years ago I didn't buy a 95 dana 30 axle like I was told, but a mislabeled 99.5 axle. fun fact, putting new 95 rotors on a 99.5 axle results in the rotors locking themselves against the dust shield and preventing any movement. something that's only apparent after the tires are back on and the lugnuts are tight.
  7. Drama is the thing I want to avoid most of all. I'd greatly prefer there'd be no political stuff on the CC, but he was doing something in his MJ so it was more of a coin flip this time and I let it slide. apologies for doing that. I should have been a bit more strict.
  8. leave the politics to yourselves please
  9. be patient. that's happened before.
  10. if I remember right, the longbed S-10s can share toppers with MJs, I wonder if the tonneaus are similar?
  11. I've had success by pushing the lock for the inside and outside simultaneously. sometimes you need to lock-unlock-lock-unlock a few times. then doing the same for the open door function by actuating inside and outside simultaneously.
  12. don't forget that burping can be more of a process than a one-and-done

    4.10 axles

    hour east of Atlanta.
  14. it happens. you're just out and about, minding your own business and BAM, there's another XJ in the yard when you get home.
  15. I had a similar issue with the headlights stealing the turn signals and it turned out to be bad front sockets. I realize this doesn't include the Oracles into the mix, but bad grounds are bad grounds and can do weird things.
  16. I have friends that have put their head through the back glass after the smallest of fender benders. some still live with pain from the accident a decade later. the answer is to swap. this chap had a passenger.
  17. yes and no. lots of variable here. a mix of 40 year old parts plus previous owner "fixes" plus the cheap replacement parts that are available plus the new owners skill level for repairs plus the actual commute itself (big difference between "5 miles in to town" and 1.5 hours across Atlanta). there's no reason why any vehicle cannot be 99%+ reliable if you're proactive with maintenance, but problems will always arise, no matter the age or brand.
  18. that's the 92 calendar year trucks built. model year started around july of 91.
  19. more like 3k+. plenty of 92s were made in 91.
  20. all the new carpet is made by the exact same company, ACC. go with whatever price works best for you.
  21. something is very wrong with it. I bought an elcheapo unit from advance auto for this 88 I'm working on and it sounds as it should.
