All of the wifes' grand dads' drilling equipment had Tulsa winches on them. Real power houses. I once bent the mast on the power unit trying to pull a stuck pump, with a 20 ton Tulsa. If I hadn't been his grand-son-in-law he probably would have killed me. Got some pics,film, not digital. If I get a chance to scan them I'll post them.

Power washing/engine/eng compartment? 2.5L
jimoshel replied to lexluthier72's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I spray everything with Gunk, let it sit 15-30 minutes, then wash it off with a garden hose. If there are any really bad places, after spraying with Gunk I scrub it good with a brush. I've also taken them to a car wash. Don't let any Gunk get into the alternator. It will degrease the bearings. Also if the engine is hot, let it cool first. I've never had it happen but there is the possibility of cracking the exhaust manifold if hit with cold water while it's hot. I've also used plain dishwasher detergent. That stuff cuts grease good. -

Most have sold it, or decided not to get rid of such a prize. The ads deleted.

jimoshel replied to DrHeadlightNJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
All '86 2.5 were TBI. All 2.8 were carburated. Either way, clean them. -

Would also like to know which years were affected, the problem and the fix. -
Maybe he didn't remove the blown tire. He just put the spare on over it. :???:

Factory roll bar frame tie-ins
jimoshel replied to MCF90's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I don't mind getting old, a lot of peeps don't. But I sure hate losing it. Spent over a hour this morn looking. No find. I was looking for loose pieces tied together. Finally gave up, came in and looked up the post where I had pics posted earlier to refresh my memory as to what they looked like. In the pic is a brown box. BINGO! Looked for a brown box, went right to them. Sorry for the delay. Need any more or anything else, let me know. Jim -
Factory roll bar frame tie-ins
jimoshel replied to MCF90's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Spent over a hour looking for the darn things. No find. Found the bar but not the fittings. Since I quit looking, they'll show up. -
A oldie but maybe there's a young'un on that hasn't heard it. A grizzled Navy chief and a young Air Force 2nd Lt are in the john taking a leak. The Lt finishes, shakes it a couple times and heads for the door. Chief hollers at him "Hey son, in the Navy they teach us to wash our hands after going to the John." Lt replies, " In the Air Force they teach us not to pee on our fingers."

[quote name=" Yep' date=' right out of the manual Jim. But what's more useless in their first year of active duty than a just out of school O-1 Enswine? Or any other O-1 in the other services? [/quote] Been pondering that question for half an hour. Can't think of a thing. :dunno: Actually I keep thinking of tits on a boar hog. But those are things. They don't count.

Pics coming up. Manana. It's dark out there and i get tired of hearing the boogy man scream when I scare him. -
Nope. :D And they know better than to wait for that. LOL yeah, it would probably be a cold day in hell before a chief would salute an officer in a sister service! In any case, congratulations Don, you did good! Rank is rank and military courtesy calls for a salute, irregardless of branch, or relationship.

Did you get a dollar for being the first one to salute them? Or is that another tradition down the drain.

Upgrade or Downgrade? Calling all computer-literate.

Not to familiar with Toshiba. I don't buy ready made puters. Always build my own. But I wouldn't touch ANYTHING from bestbuy, even if they were giving it away. -
Look at the two lines and you will see that one has a sharper bend than the other and is longer from the bend to the fitting. That is the fuel supply. It goes on the left hand side, The drivers side. The other line with the more gradual bend is the return line. It goes on the passenger side of the TBI.

You ask a 1,000,000 questions on this site, you're going to get 3-5,000,000 answers. All different!!! :rotfl2:

They are a take off of the old Whizzer motor bikes so popular back in the 50's. You furnish the bicycle and purchase and install the motor yourself. You shouldn't have any problem finding out more as the company that makes them is located in Fl.

If you get lucky, 10 minutes. I had 6 ECU'S on the shelf. Had 1.

Can Comanches be reliable daily drivers?
jimoshel replied to big66440's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
A Comanche is no less unreliable than any vehicle that has been abused and mistreated, nor is it any more reliable than any vehicle that has been properly maintained and operated. The AW4 is one of the better transmissions available. The unibody has proven to be equal to, if not superior to frame-body construction. I have never heard of a Comanche "Btreaking in half" although I have heard of pulling the bumper off due to rust. The Dana 35 is not the strongest axe in the world but still manages to rack up in excess of 200,000 miles in daily use.
