  1. what's the part number?
  2. I didn't see it. can you find me a link? I want to add this tidbit to the DIY list and if the older contains more info than just a part number, I'd prefer to use it over this one.
  3. the guy on FB said it "flowed better" or something along those lines. either way, a refurbed injector will likely flow better than a 30 year old unit because old stuff is... old.
  4. maaaaan, that sucks... every single car/truck/van/gocart/horsebuggy on the planet needs a fire extinguisher!
  5. don't forget the dual booster upgrade. probably one of the best upgrades you can do. should be a couple threads for that in the link in my sig. There are some diesel conversion threads in Epic Tech. tech questions from the OP should really go in the Tech forum so more eyes will see them. Not everyone peruses the build threads on a regular basis.
  6. moved it over to Tech for ya
  7. wow those are some lightweights!
  8. Just saw a tidbit that the 2.5 shares injectors with the Chevy TBI 5.0 I don't remember knowing this info before.
  9. every truck in the registry will get the build date.

    at this moment, no. supposedly it's coming later in the year.
  11. the vast majority of every year MJ had the dana 35. the amc 20 was the heavy duty option associated with the metric ton package and there weren't a ton of those in 86 (pun intended). in 87+ the Metric ton trucks got the dana 44 instead and the 44 could be had as an option separate from the metric ton package (though I'm not certain if that was 87-92 or just the later years). We lost a lot of detail info when AMC had that basement flood way-back-when. just an additional point of info for anyone reading this: the "c" in 35c stands for "custom" and indicates when Jeep was buying partial axles and finishing them up themselves. It does not indicate C-clip, so always verify before purchasing an axle.
  12. looks like fun! eventually I'll have a Jeep to start taking to the shows.

    wait, the Eisenhower tunnel? I did that route in the MJ way back when on the way to Moab. If I remember right, I was doing maybe 35 mph at the crest of the mountain so they beat me. but then, having an engine that spews its guts out the valve cover at anything above 3500rpm doesn't help.
  14. that is such an odd color for a jeep truck. I wonder why they went with it.

    If I was to buy one, a Hemi swap would happen. (because if I could afford one in the first place, I clearly have enough cash lying around to do that. ) also, manual trailer cranks suck.
  16. nope. the spacers go above your springs and the shackles replace what you have. any taller and you'd need to think about the other components, but the 1.75 to 2" spacer lift is small enough to retain the stock parts.
  17. cheaper than 2" poly spacer pucks and the Chevy 2" drop shackles?
  18. that's a good question. I wonder what the common combinations would be from the factory...
  19. why does your coil have a bow to it?
  20. Cruiser is pretty awesome but don't sell your own patience short. I've spoken with plenty of guys who would rather set their truck on fire than slow down and actually diagnose a wiring issue.
  21. I like that steering support. I should add that on my to-do list.
  22. there is nothing to gain other than more modern looks. and by "more modern" I mean you'd be replacing 30 year old parts with 20 year old parts so modern is a relative term here. I prefer the classic look.
  23. one of our members is working on finding build dates for all the trucks in the registry.
