what's your budget? what are the plans for the truck?

Nice!!

fingers crossed!

and he can still do that. only he is in his shoes. I'm just saying that doing an engine swap every couple years sound very tiring to me. But then on some days, walking out for the mail sounds tiring to me so everything is relative

but what's the health? we've got a few members with over 300k on the original engine. If the engine is pretty healthy, then it would seem to me that you can skip a huge amount of effort by leaving it alone until you're ready for the v8.

I meant what's the health of the MJ's engine?

then why the hurry to replace it?

definitely waiting on this one!

mileage is irrelevant. how's it's been cared for means much more. how's the health of the current engine? compression numbers? leakdown? oil pressure?

both ends needed to be cut to fit my 90 MJ.

that's, um... encouraging?

are you talking about just swapping the engine itself and keeping your current wiring/injection? also be sure to add in your truck's specs to your signature

the words escape me...

if it's a 4.0/stick and you're rockin' the 3.07s, that's definitely part of the problem

it's comin' along!

what gear ratio are you running?

I bought a simple whatchamacallit. autozone might rent both for free.

that is... weird. what's your fuel pressure during this no-start event? do you have spark at that time?

looks like a great candidate for a resto! you should start a build thread and copy/paste this intro (as not many people read the VIN registry) step one is to pull back the carpets and see how bad it is.

the Jeep inline engines can easily go 300k+ if cared for. welcome to the addiction oh, and you can swap all sorts of leafpacks out back if you retain your main leafs for tire-location duties.

I'd very much like to do a more relaxing tour between Atlanta and Detroit on the next trip up.

it's alive!? I'm doing my best to follow through on a promise to Don to get out and meet more of my digital friends.

that sounds about right. I still have no idea why it would happen, but I figured it had something to do with hosting. of course I could still be wrong about that too. the 1s and 0s are not my forte. I'll send a message to Kryptronic and see if he has an idea.

really? they work for me even on a different browser. well, you should be able to find them by searching for "jeep 2500 frame". the first link was the 7 slot fascia, the second was the five slot.
