I'd like to see them do it with a Rolls Royce Merlin aircraft engine. Wonder how a MJ would run with one of these babies under the hood? In the bed?

Somebody has too much time on their hands Yep.. But at least they put it to good use. :thumbsup:

If you can't find one, I've got a couple. $5,000 ea plus shipping. The price IS negotiable.

Just got thru replacing the power steering pump on my '87 2.5. I wanted to swap the one I had where the resevoir was bolted to the radiator frame and connected to the pump by hoses, to one like you're showing. Going over a half dozen blocks I decided the main mount like you're showing in the pic, is the same for all '87-90 engines. They made the pump itself and the pulley different to match the years, engines.

I have no experience with them but they certainly look like they can get the job done.

Nothing like building yer own, to get what you want.

You should have it like new in two or three days. Welll, maybe a week. Actually the 2.8 is not all that bad of an engine. Don't expect to much from it and don't push it. I have a '86 with the 2.8, 5speed and 95,000 when I got it.At 115K it started smoking so bad I parked it. Was going to drop a 2.5 into it and found a wrecked S10 with a low mileage, good running 2.8 so I just went with it.Good luck. Jim :thumbsup:

We all have our quirks. Mine is instrumentation. Did you ever see another MJ with a ASI (Air speed indicator) or altimeter mounted in the dash?

I cut mine up into three pieces and stowed it in my tool box. Now if I cud just figure out how to use it???

But it sure cracks and crazes. unfortunately :???:

I've gotten stuck in holes with mine.

There was a game? :dunno:

There are several different methods to be used when electrical trouble shooting. This one is about as basic as you can get. Get a piece of wire long enough to reach from the battery to the fartherest light on the truck. Left rear TL. Attach a clip on one end. This will clip onto the pos bat post. If you have or can get a test prod, use it. If not a straight pin, a safety pin, anything that can puncture the wiring insulation and or the rust, corrosion on the terminals.. Now if you can reach bare metal at the socket touch the wire to it. The bulb should light.If not then follow the wire back to a plug. See if you're getting voltage at the plug.The biggest cause of electrical problems is corrosion. Separate all the connectors and inspect them for corrsion. If your the cautious type you might want to install a 10-15 amp fuse in the lead. Me? I get sparks, I just jerk. Good luck.

Acceptable ,, 0.0012-0.002in 0.030-0.051mm Preferred,,,,,,,,0.0016 in 0.041mm

Well,,, ah,,,,er,,,,,,,gee,, I dunno, I forgot. :hmm:

Give some kid a buck to sit in the truck and hold his foot on the brake pedal. Get a 10 inch long 5/8th diameter bolt. Remove a spark plug. Screw the bolt into the plug hole until it contacts the piston top. Park sideways on the hill side. Park the truck at the bottom of the hill and walk up.

Fix the brake? :dunno:

They had it under control yesterday afternoon but the wind picked up last nite and it's out of control again.

^^^ What they said.I'd check the clearance with Plasti-guage and if it's within specs you're OK.

Thanks for the tip.

You thought that was amusing? How about this one?

Nope.It's still burning out of control. And the wind isn't helping any. And it IS NOT a April Fool joke. In this part of the country, one does not joke about prairie fires,

Give ya $700 for it.

Don't believe a Alabama lad is watching a Colorado fire on TV, although it is being broadcast on all the local stations.
