depends on what track bar you go with. the stock piman arm should be retained unless you go with a trackbar with a drop bracket. the track bar and drag link need to be as close to parallel as possible. (also, the pitman arm from a TJ will give a small drop :thumbsup: )

I'm reading 118-148 ft-lbs for the axle side, and 59-74 ft-lbs on the frame side for stock arms. :thumbsup:

whats a sway bar? :D it's that thing that helps keep you alive should you need to avoid something in the road. :D An SYE is a great upgrade. but it is kinda expensive and requires a new driveshaft too. Either way, lifting an MJ up that high will pull the stock driveshaft out about an inch and that can cause issues.

wd40 tends to get all over the place. I replaced those felt guides with some generic stuff from jcw.com worked pretty good. :thumbsup:

individual results may vary. :D

the 2.8 is in the same league as the peugeot and the dana 35. if you take care of it, it *should* last. there are plenty out there that have lasted 200k+ (I've got one). ...but I would have a backup plan just in case. :yes:

window trim? your window crank mechanism likely needs to be lubed. :thumbsup:

you'll need that longer track bar. and longer brake lines. and longer sway bar links.

how about one of the rounded-off-bolt/nut removal thingies? I'd hate to see you have to drill the dang thing out. :(

swap them front to rear and see if anything changes. :thumbsup:

got a pair of vice grips? did you use any rust penetrant first?

What all have you purchased so far? just coils?

their main site address seems to have been hacked. :doh: pretty good list though. :thumbsup:

chrysler changed the fluid specs to (I believe) 10w30 synthetic. :thumbsup:

CRD? Or both? both are in there. :yes:

welcome to the addiction. :wavey:

have you taken things apart and watched the fuel injector in action to check for flow and drips?

the metric ton package could be ordered on a near-stock MJ, so there's no guarantee of anything coming with it. you need to ask for specifics. trim package would help, but even that won't answer everything.

innnnteresting.... how 'bout now?

out of curiosity, if someone does happen to guess right, how would you confirm it? :hmm:

the battery in my 90 likes to fake being dead. the cables are old and not making a good connection to the terminals (yes, someday I might actually change them. maybe.). all I need to do is fiddle with it a bit and it fires right up.

a similar issue on my 86 was caused by corrosion on the + terminal of the coil which apparently caused a weak spark. the gas eventually blew my muffler apart. :doh:

how 'bout now?

there's a thread in the DIY forum on bolts. it might be in there. :thumbsup:

most aftermarket mufflers should all flow about the same. Especially since our engines don't really exceed 6k rpms. if you really want to split hairs, go with a straight-through design. but for cats, there are some hi-flow cats out there. I would go with one of them for sure. :thumbsup:
