probably fried the torque converter ... is it slipping at all ?

whats the best cheep oil for the ax5 ?

so i have my ax5 external slave mated to my new np231 and I'm ready to slap her in but i need to know how much to shorten my driveshaft how do i measure it ? or has someone done it before and remembers the numbers ? its a 88 2.5 sport truck originally a ax4 2wd and has a dana 35 rear end

last time i was there they did not have anything with a np207 and that was last week does the chain only drive the front ? if so could i just remove it and run it like that till i get a new tcase ? i decided i want to go with the np231 when i finaly do the 4x4 swap

i could but the chain in the tcase is way stretched

so the only way to get the 4x4 ax5 to work is to do the full swap

i need to know if i can put a 2wd output housing off my 2wd ax4 on my 4x4 ax5 i don't want to convert the whole truck to 4x4 just yet i have both transmissions out and they look identical the only issue i see is that the 2wd output shaft is way longer so how hard is it to swap output shafts? thanks btw the reason i am not doing a 4x4 swap yet is the tcase that was on the ax5 is shot and i don't have a good front end yet ... or the money for either part

no syncros are all bad

I had to replace my rear end a while ago, I shattered the pinion and didn't have enough money so I just used one from my non running 86 Cherokee with the 2.8 turd and ax5 to get me by for a while ....problem is I have a 4 speed and on the highway its turning around 3000 rpm at 55, I finally have enough cash, so my question is what gear ratio would be best to replace it with ... I am looking mostly for fuel economy ... any advice helps...thanks-chris

haha :agree:

Thanks for the help !

OK well I feel retarted aparintly when I put the cap back on the dizzy I didn't put the rotor on as I found it under the jeep .... So I put it back on and bam she runs ! No more overheating too !

After the backfire no spark

When I checked this morning no it did not I got it to backfireout of the throttle body onice but that's it

Can I wire my own ignition system ? I have had nothing but bad luck with this things wiring because the po hacked up the harness after a packrat problem and never labeled anything

yep no luck and what electronics on the motor itself are required for spark

I did not remove the distributer but I did remove the cap however I marked it with tape so I lined it back up I know its getting fuel plugs are wet

2.5 4 banger I didn't think you could adjust the valves on these ?

I also removed the head to do a head gasket if that helps

I am building a custom dash because mine is nasty I removed the dash and the whole climate control system now it just cranks and cranks but no fire seems to not be getting spark ... Are there any grounds or wires that need to be connected in the dash in order to run is there a way to wire your own ignition system ?

Haha I was following that post on FB lol but I have a flatbed so....

Its a 88 2.5

Could a blown manifold gasket cause rapid overheating like in 5 minutes ?

I contacted prestone and they said they would send me a replacement jug and I said what good would that do if I have a cracked head and they hung up on me !!!!!!!

I used a old extension cord for a battery terminal I spliced the 3 inside wires together and it works fine even turning over the starter
