I don't doubt that for a minute. :rotf:

I thought the '88 2.5 had the AW-4?

vroooooom-vroooooooooommmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you have an inline 6 in your Jeep?

will update once I can get photos from my camera. :thumbsup:

aftermarket rims have less backspacing (5.25" is stock, 4" is a typical aftermarket) and stick the tires out more. :thumbsup: personally I would stick with jeep rims with 30s or 31s and stock height, and then put out some bucks for a pair of spidertrax wheel spacers for the rear so the rear tires will visually match the fronts. (the rear of an MJ is wider than the front which is why the rear tires tuck in so much). but to each his own. :D

heck no. that would make sense. and we can't have that in Sony-land.

...still missing my camera cable... :fs1:

I've got 31s on stock Jeep rims under my stock 90 with only minor rubbing on the lower control arms. Fixed that with some WJ arms.

ya know what grinds my gears? bad synchros. sorry, had to do it. :D I would hunt down replacement parts. but then, the dent in my dakota where that corvette hit my bed was repaired and looks factory even 6 years later.

sorta.

95-01 8.8s are all the same. even v6 and v8 ones are the same inside, just with different brackets on the outside. I would plan on wheel spacers, not necessarily because the 8.8 is a hair more narrow than a Dana 35 (5/8"), but because the bed of an MJ is wider than the front of a comanche and it will pull the tires out from under the rear fenders and make it look normal. do not go cheap on wheel spacers. get only the best. :thumbsup: you can also try to find a cherokee 8.25 rear axle with 4.10s and then convert it to disks using various methods. find a Dana 30 with 4.10 gears. :thumbsup: car-part.com can help with scouring junkyards

wish you were here. :D got a decent amount of work done on the 90. still have electrical and a floor to create. and tweaking the exhaust so it doesn't interfere with the shocks.

it'll be about the same. perfectly acceptable, but not awesome.

do you know your max/min measurements yet?

explorer 8.8s are reasonably common with 4.10 gears. :thumbsup: and a cherokee 8.25 would be good too. I wouldn't use a Dana 35, but I can understand if it has the right gears and is dirt cheap. just be kind to it and it might last a while. try car-part.com for searching junkyards. if you go for an 8.8, you have to search for both v6 and v8 models. they are identical inside, but have different brackets (which you'll be cutting off anyways) for the 2 models of explorer.

well, you did put it in the pub. :D I'll move it for ya.

your fuel economy won't change much with the various ratios. what will change is you will no longer curse your truck because it can't get out of it's own way with those awful 3.07s. :D opinions vary though on 31s on 3.07s. some guys say it's not that bad. i HATED my truck with 3.07s and 30" tires. simply upgrading to 3.55s after the Dana 35 blew up put the smile back on my face. :yes:

do you still have the old filter around?

I personally would wait rather than do it wrong. I know the desire to get it up in the air is strong :yes: , but I don't think you'll like the results.

just a bit over "shouldn't" cause a problem like that in our Jeeps. some cars are very sensitive to it, but I've had a full quart over stock (back when my rear main seal was leaking) and not had any issues.

good thing you guys aren't showing up today. supposed to hit 100* :ack:

oh right, the computer's one is in the block isn't it. :doh:

It's quite a bit of work. but a/c is a requirement for me, soooo.....

which temp sensor did you replace? there's a couple or 'em.
