I have seen a lot of talk about what brand fuel pump to buy.... I would like to no what everyone thinks about starters... Which brand is the best. I need a new. ANNNNNDDDD GO!!!
I am following this post... I am also looking to build some rock sliders... I have looked at the xj ones and they all seem to bolt to the pinch weld and the frame...If anyone has some installed can we see pics please???
also if you hit the part that holds the ball joint with a hammer every now and then it helps to push the ball joint out...... A little shock to the system helps.......
brake fluid IS clutch fluid. Both are DOT3 from factory. Best to refill the clutch with DOT5 from what I understand so the master cylinder has no chance of ruining your block when it eventually starts leaking.
My point was it was coming from the clutch not the brake.... members on this site from time to time take things literally. So its important to be specific with our information. They might look for the brake system leaking and not the clutch system.....thanks for the dot 5 info I might change my fluid to avoid future problems.
I had the same problem with " brake fluid" however its not brake fluid its clutch fluid. That's why its not a problem with your automatic. If your truck is a manual I would suggest cleaning your fuse block. I cleaned mine and the radio started working...... And the 12v radio wire could be pink or red just depends on the year..... mine was pink in my 89 Comanche.
thank you eagle... I pluged the bottom port in the block. Just like the thread in the DIY section said to do. I have added a 4.5 in lift to the truck so I eliminated the height sensing valve. The bed will be unloaded most of the time. And I live in las vegas so I don't think the road will be in a state were the rear wheels will lock up that much..... My next upgrade will be the double diaphragm brake booster up grade. I will try the xj valve at that time.
The brakes on an MJ have been a point of contention on this forum for a while now. I have read every post on how to up grade them, bleed them and replace them..... This post has been the best so far for confusing me..... I have removed the height sensing valve and the line to it. I have place a plug in the block and I will be bleeding the brakes today or tomorrow..... But I still have not found an answer to one question I have. Why can't I just replace the distribution block on the MJ with a Propositioning valve from and XJ? Won't this give me the safety of having rear brakes if the front lines spring a leak? Or vise versa ?
The carrier will have to come out. If you like new challenges and have money for the learning curve, you can rebuild it yourself. Otherwise, take the axle (or truck) to a competent shop.
BTW, congrats!
Its kinda like finding a unicorn!!!!
