You can also pick up somr efficiency by going to lighter wheels if you're using steelies now.

I'm very interested. Where are you located?

Is the pulley set up for a V belt, or a serpentine?

Mopar / Chrysler or not ?
benjy_26 replied to Strokermjcomanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
There's a couple of different types of Monroes out there, too. The blue ones are just cheap, the yellow HD ones are a bit harsh, but the OE Spectrums are alright. Another not-too-expensive option is the Rancho RS5000. A bit soft, but comfortable. Oh, and I HATE Bilsteins. -
I think the pump *may* be the same, but my main issue is with the pulley. The TBI 2.5 serpentine belt pulley is unique to that engine.

Looking for a power steering pump and pulley for a 87 2.5L. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a pair of add-a-leaf springs. I was going to buy some from Hell Creek, but they've been discontinued. Thanks in advance!

I've put in a bit over 35,000 miles of city, highway, and off road driving in the almost 2 years since I got my MJ. I got mine with 190,000 miles on the clock, and aside from maintenance and Cruiser's Renix tips (and a new exhaust system) I haven't had to do anything to the engine. It's dead-nuts reliable and gets me over Southern NM and West Texas mountain passes pretty well, even when pushing around 31's with a 3.55 geared rear end and an AX4. It's not the fastest truck, but it's gotten me everywhere I needed to be and has done it getting at least 25mpg on the highway.

Putting in new control arms
benjy_26 replied to Jackrabbit41's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I did mine last month. I jacked up the front of the truck and let the axle hang. Easy-peasy. I used stock uppers and fixed Rancho lowers. -
Hey everyone! Check this vid out. I found it while looking around the net for test results. Pretty concise test of Seafoam.
-
Thanks man. :) I appreciate the kind words. I actually left the rear end alone for now. I still have the stock 2wd SporTruck leaves with bigger shocks. I like it well enough and it clears the 31's just fine even with the high offset I'm running. I may go to metric tonne leaves just for more control while towing.
-
I dug em on my ZJ, but I was driving FAST on 32's. On a light MJ, I bet they'd be jarring.
-
Will do, sir! Thanks for the tip. :)
-
Yes sir!

Do you have pics of your bracket?

89 2.5 Computer Controlled Carburetor?

Don't insult papier maché canoes, man! Those can actually work if made right. ;) -
Nice. Cool thing about stuffing a SR into a MJ is that you'll have LOTS of space for a nice front mount. ;) Are you going with a stand alone ECM, or are you grafting the Nissan unit in?
-
I approve of this. Will you be using a S14 tranny, or will you be using a Z32 unit?

89 2.5 Computer Controlled Carburetor?

The injector is right in the middle of the TB. As for the goofy pinwheel, tell him to scrap it. I can assure you that it's not helping. -
Hello all. I recently removed my heater control valve on my 87 Comanche, and since doing so, my truck has a noticeable miss at cold idle and smells like it's running VERY rich. Once warmed up, the idle evens out. I pulled my plugs a few days ago and they are black and sooty. Any ideas on what to look for? I'm thinking that maybe my thermostat may be stuck open, or I may have a bad coolant temp sensor. thanks in advance!

Unless you're going with a TPI 305, I'd say just go 350. Same external dimensions and same amount of work to get it in.

headlights and weather stripping
benjy_26 replied to Dom U's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I made my own harness using some 10ga wire and a pair of 30 amp relays. I was astonished at the difference in light output between the upgraded wiring and the stock one, even when running stock style halogens. -
Day-nada. :)
-
Good idea! Thanks. :) There's a hydro place nearby.

Hello all. Recently, my MJ has developed a leak where the fuel line meets the TBI unit. Has anyone replaced these? If so, did you have something made up, or is there a stock replacement? Thanks a bunch!
