What size socket did you use to take the valve cover bolt out?

I known him for personally about 17 years, went to school with him ,before he was "famous". Yeah he's got a few issues lol. Bar stools , strip clubs , rehab centers , domestic abuse ..... Lol

I live close enough to Cleveland (Youngstown ) and frankly I'm sick of hearing about Lebron allready also. The same people that hated him when he left Cleveland are praising him now . Truthfully I don't care about him , he makes millions of dollars a year for something he likes to do and I have to go to work everyday and get paid peanuts for something I hate to do!!

Two things : 1. They have size limitations and it's a very good possibility it will get damaged. 2. I used greyhound to send a rollbar to Yuma AZ from Ohio 4weeks ago ,as of tue it's lost in Texas !!!! I will never use them again .

Are the axles equal length ? Never had them out of my 8.25 . Just grab a drivers side if there equal and in good shape .

Looks to be a direct bolt on? I get everything at cost at the parts store I worked at so this might be my next project. thanks

Cool thanks , I just don't want to have any problems in the winter time when I'm at my friends cabin with 2feet of snow in the middle of the night . Hornbrod what alternator are you using ?

No but they are all clean and the drivetrain only has 96 k on it .

I wonder if someone upgraded the steering box to a quicker ratio. I'm not sure how to find out what ratio you have but it's worth a shot .

I'm having issues with my dd 89 mj that I recently upgraded to a 95 xj driveline ( 4.0 aw4 np242 ). Even before I did the swap it read low 13's in voltage with no headlights or a/c on . If I put the a/c on, or the headlights , or the electric cooling fan comes on it dives into the high 11's or low 12's . I also confirmed the guage was correct with a charging system tester at orielys .When I did the swap I refreshed / added new grounds where needed . It's a new alternator and I know the voltage is controlled by the computer in that year . Any other things I should do to try to fix this issue? I want to wire up some lights but want to address this issue first . As always any and all help is much appreciated . Thanks

You're welcome it took me awhile to find mine .

Mopar part # is 55007817. Been discontinued though . Maybe you'll find nos ones somewhere .

I allready had one in mine , seen that one at the yard and was in a rush and said I'll get it next time . Went back and it's gone , my luck . I wish I could get every cool / rare item but oh well.

There's an older mechanic at the local jeep dealer that hoards all the old specialty tools . I can see If he has one . Have you checked with the motorhomes place out west? I know automan knows the name.

Get the blue permadry felpro gasket it's more money than the standard gasket but seals so much better .

The front looks like a dana30 to me. If they both were 44s the diffs would look the same

I know there's one at the local jy . Pm me if interested .

Thanks for all the info looks like I'll try to draw them out with the large sockets and bolts . If that doesn't work it looks like plan B and out comes the drill!! Thanks for all the help .

I was getting a clunking noise under the front end every time I went from drive to reverse . Between the uca's and the bushings I'm gonna change them both . What do you guys use the change the bushings in the housing ?? I was thinking of using a ball joint press but having enough room to use it seems like it would be a problem . I'm laid up for a bit with a bad back but just trying to get the right tool(s). Thanks for any and all help in advance .

If it's the original cable the part number will be stamped on the cable before it goes in the firewall

I know it's been discussed before but I don't feel a steering stabilizer is a bandage . They where on the truck from day one . Granted I wouldn't think the triple hd setup is what you need . It's like not having sway bar links , you can drive the truck but have someone pull out in front of you and you'll wish you had them . I'd say since you've gone overmostly everything put a stabilizer on it and go from there .

Best thing to do is to take the measurements after everything is bolted in . The place where you have the ds shortened will tell you how you should measure for length . I'd be nervous that two trucks could have different length shafts due to the tcase length .

Currently 2 but have had 8 in my lifetime though. Also have an 01 wj a 99xj and had an 86 xj 2 door with a 3.4 conversion

Make a 3 inch longer rod .
