Yah, I hadn't either but Dzimm mentioned them in the second post. They're not cheap. If I get 6 months I'll be a happy camper. Should have a real job by then to cover the cost of Spicer or Moog replacements. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Can't rebuild the 92 bearing/hub it's a sealed unit like what you have shown. They are offered as low as $45 per side. I was referring to the axle/ujoint/hub assembly that was listed for $190 per side. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Also, on my budget thers a big difference between $45 for a wheel bearing and $190 for the assembly. Esp when that's doubled for each side. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

No movement seen when I jacked it up. That's mainly why I think its a bearing. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Left front wheel bearing is going out and I wanted to make sure I've got everything before I tear into it as the MJ is my DD for the moment. Dana 30 hp axle. 36mm socket for removing hub nut (Have heard conflicting info as to 33mm vs 36mm) New hub assembly (is there a 5x5 pattern hub I can swap in to get rid of my current 4.5"x5 to 5"x5 adapters/spacers?) Should I plan on doing the u-joint in the axle at the same time? I'm fairly sure the noise is a wheel bearing but could it be this joint? I'll be replacing both wheel bearings, not just one side if I do this. *note: getting a grinding or humming noise at 40-65mph. Stops below 30mph or if I take a left turn at speed. My experience says wheel bearing with 219k on the truck. Opinions welcome* Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Found an '87 Sportruck here in Baton Rouge. It's got good, bad, but it ain't ugly! Good: Body, lights, steps and paint are in p.d.g. (pretty darn good) shape. Stickers look original and are faded appropriately. Taillights, tailgate, bumpers are all there and in good shape. No dents that I saw. Engine is a new crate 4.0L to replace one that overheated, not even broken in. 130k on the body. Column shift auto. The Bad: The truck flooded last August. Hasn't moved since then, the shop that did the motor had just finished and parked it outside to be picked up from what I was told. Owner said he would part with it for $500. I was going to but it and part it out until I saw it was a Sportruck....I know these are kinda rare. Hopefully someone can get this beauty back in the road! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

It's likely wet from condensation. Best bet on finding a leak is to have a shop do it with their UV light or a sniffer. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Mary Jane?

Used a 1/4" carbide burr and a drill. Tightened the pi$$ outta it, and it's much better now. Still a vacuum leak (idle hunts 900-1100 rpm) but something I can work with. I'm not sure who made my header, it's a solid stainless model I picked up a couple years back from Summit at their scratch and dent sale for $30. Had been installed once so they couldn't sell it as new, lol. I did notice though the header was slightly thicker than the intake....once I get my propane out and troubleshoot this, if it is where the intake meets gasket I'll try shimming and see if that helps. Thanks!

I'll grab my die grinder and a few carbide bits from work. Should make short work of that. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah I'm not comfortable running it long enough to do that. That would be my normal routine is bust out the propane and look for vacuum leaks but it's revving waaaayyy too high for my liking. Pulling it all apart today and gonna reseat the intake (without header wrap this time......sigh).

Header bolted to engine (otherwise intake would fall off). Nothing bolted to header. Exhaust dumped roughly at the firewall under the gas pedal. 4 months. Yes it's loud. Yes you have to drive with the windows open or you'll probably suffocate. No, it won't hurt the engine for a short while. Or a longer than short while.

That's what I was afraid of. TB looks fine, reused my old one. Had troubles getting the intake to seat properly due to header wrap.... I'm willing to bet that's the issue. Dammit. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Oh, and I drove like I was qualifying. Full throttle everywhere, 4k shifts. After it stood up to that my jeep was a keeper. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I did it for about 4 months. Great fun, really loud. My header wasn't connected. Only downside.... you suck up a lot of carbon monoxide while driving. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Ok, first off I'm actually scared to start my truck. Just did the manifold swap. 99+ intake, new exhaust. New power steering pump, all that jazz. Go to start and.... the engine takes off like a jet. Immediately revs to 4k before I shut it off. Did this 2 or 3 times. Disconnected the MAP and still does the same thing, although harder to start. Any guesses? Kinda need to get to work in the AM.

Just how capable are the BFG A/Ts in mud and dirt? I run them on my '86 K30. They do alright in sand, pretty good in mud, etc. I don't do a lot of off-road but I do see a lot of dirt roads and mud. I like em. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Shouldn't. It's a bear of a job though... set aside a whole weekend. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Google "how to retrieve codes OBD1 jeep" for the 91-92 models. The truck will tell you from a very limited code selection. The renix motors, I'm less sure on. Other than that, do you have a specific issue? These aren't new cars that self diagnose, lol. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Ooh... pretty toys. Very nice. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Oh and a wobble extension. Very important tool to own. Mine older ones are snap on, newer ones are harbor freight. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Long extension x2 and a dab of grease or a piece of tape. Usually takes about 7 minutes. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Dunno about offroading but I keep a TPS, MAP, and CPS near at all times. Just in case :)
