very nice :bowdown: I got to spend Christmas with my family. :cheers:

:dunno: they seem to have wires going to them...

thank goodness, no. mine is related to a long bout with mono, which I guess is sorta related since it too is a tiny little thing that attacked my body and sucked my energy away. I do know what you mean by a "fog". spent a few years of my life in it. pretty deep in it too. don't ever want to go back. glad to know you're finally feeling free of it. :cheers:

As I understand it (and I could be wrong), a CV joint has a certain amount of flex in it (two joints together instead of one). you just can't have that flex right next to the slip joint.

so you do have an SYE. that would explain the CV shaft. :yes:

no harm in stealing ideas from other makes. :D

that second line going to it can be difficult to bleed if any air gets in it. not saying that's your issue, but it's something to ponder after trying the usual suspects. you probably just need to rebleed the truck. be sure to start with the furthest from the booster (back/right) and work your way closer. also, double check to make sure your rears are properly adjusted so there isn't any slop.

it's right above the drivers side of the rear axle. 2 brake lines go in, one comes out. has s small lever on it connected to the axle.

do you still have the prop valve out back?

ouch! :ack:

we might be doing a cafepress style thing next. especially since :bowdown: Brett put forth the effort to get a decent vector image of our logo we could use.

oh yeah!

no such thing as a "factory" dually MJ. far as we can tell they were fabbed up by an aftermarket company. but we still don't have an owner here to confirm the details. and they came with regular beds: plus anyone can convert their to dual wheel using a kit. :thumbsup: my favorite dually:

um, you can't have both a slip yoke eliminator and a slip yoke. I assume you have a slip yoke? pictures?

and I, for one, can't thank you enough :bowdown: Brett! at least once a week someone asks me about shirts.

you can't add a CV shaft without a SYE. they go hand in hand. :thumbsup:

surprisingly few people seem to have done that. or at least very few who are here. this is a random MJ I found on the net. clearly not what you're thinking of.

yup. but an SYE is out a bit more than it really should and still a great (albeit expensive cine you're on the hook for the kit plus a new driveshaft) upgrade. going SOA pulls the driveshaft out about an inch and in some cases this can cause problems in certain circumstances (especially if there is a lot of wear and slop at the yoke). since yours is a street queen, you should be fine. :thumbsup: in either case, a slightly longer driveshaft should return everything to normal. One caveat, U-joints don't like crazy changes in their operating angles. you can get vibrations from that alone.

18 gal is the shortbed tank. engine size is irrelevant. :thumbsup:

in its heyday, my 88 had 5 1/4s components in the doors, tweeters above them, 6x9s in little boxes in the back, and an 8 inch woofer in a small box. all were high quality speakers fed from amps. I eventually did away with the 6x9s, as they added very little to the music. that let me run the fronts and woofer off of a single amp. for whatever reason, that little truck put out some of the best quality sound (loud or soft) I'd ever heard in a vehicle. :dunno: I everything over to my dakota and the sound just wasn't the same. :( weird. Go Comanches!

Merry Christmas!!

I altered your title to help advertise the need. :thumbsup: If it's reasonable rust free, then it's likely worth the money. but it all depends on how much of a project you're looking for. wiring issues aren't fun.

yup, its been done. :D but with some metal fabbin' effort for sure. now if i could just find that stupid photo.... :hmm:

autozone will check your starter motor for free. :thumbsup: do keep an eye on where the shims went for re-installation.

yup, if you guys want to bring air tools, a CO2 tank is the way to go. :thumbsup: also, black and decker makes a cordless sawzall. I think it's in their 18 volt series.
