can you snap a picture of the CPS connector? The question will be what electronics are in the truck now.

Lol, these topics are always a can of worms. So many opinions and different experiences. Many will say x oil gave them 100’s of thousands of trouble free miles while others will say that x oil destroyed their tranny & tcase etc. Many won’t trust even the manufacturers recommendations these days and occasionally that’s for a good reason. At the end of the day it will just be up to you because the suggestions will never end. I hate to say it but this is one of those topics that requires you do your own research instead of going strictly off of what your pears say. Otherwise this is about as subjective as health advice, in other words, everyone has an opinion and, of course, some great reason for believing their opinion.

Some new shoes

I’ve been using straight 30 weight motor oil in the tcase for a long time now. Excellent results. 10w-30 also works great in an ax15 and I believe a Mopar TSB even recommended it iirc.

97+ doors are also a nice swap with a larger door glass pane (that can also be swapped into the earlier doors). The striker and door seals are also a bit more modern design and quieter.

The drivers side kick panel is a tough location for a speaker due to the e brake being there. You could go with some 4x6 in the lower dash trim though.

Should be noted also that a good 4 link provides many more benefits than just improved flex. A good set of leafs can flex quite a bit as well. But the axle geometry and stability with a properly designed 4 link are better than any leaf design. On the flip side, if your using your truck as a truck and hauling items in it, leaf springs are a super solid system.

I wasn’t recommending them. Just saying that if you are only after droop, they will give you that. That being said, the idea of revolvers being “horrible” is subjective. If you learn how to wheel and drive with them they can be just fine.

Doesn’t do any good for a wheel to drop if there isn’t any significant weight on it. Lockers are more important. If you want droop just grab some teraflex revolver shackles or similar. No big advantage though.

The trick with gears is just to think in 3d. Think about adjustments on all 3 axis then just add the necessary preload.

I also run the JCR rear bumper. Dirt Bound also makes a nice unit but it doesn’t give as much corner protection as the JCR. There are some subtle differences between the two. Also seen a new Gladiator bumper installed and it doesn’t look too bad at all.

Agreed, surprisingly I’ve actually gained MPG’s going with 4.56 over 4.10 on 33’s. The 4.0 torque is down low but a little higher rpm seems to get it to peak efficiency at cruising speed (which I haven’t seen in a long time here in island lol)

Currie, Savvy, metal cloak, and tons others. Just get adjustable arms for a TJ, XJ or MJ. They are all the same. Just stay away from the fixed aftermarket ones.

I believe the eliminator also did not have a 4x4 option until 90’ iirc.

So basically he used the carbon paper in lieu of a repair sleeve it sounds like correct? Makes sense if your crank was worn. I’ve always had a new crank going in at the same time.

That short deck height is nice. The I6 is a pretty tall engine. Makes me think a Diesel engine would be a real possibility.

Yep that would make sense. Though nowadays graphite lube is easier to find than carbon paper lol

What did they say didn’t fit?

I’ve used both adams driveshaft and Tom woods. Both have outstanding CS and products. Can’t go wrong with either.

Have you been keeping an eye on your alternator output voltage? Start up you keep cold na check the alternator voltage. Then let it run with all the accessories on for a few minutes and check it again.

Here are some more options and info: https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/adapters/engine-to-transmission/ford/windsor-v8/kit-fmax15/

I’d recommend efi, grab an adapter for an ax15 and throw in a Jeep transfer case.

You just need the switch base for the left side if the column. A fully optioned MJ has fog lights, cargo lamp, tranny power/comfort and sports bar lights. If you need the bezels or switch based let me know.

I could see that being where the carbon paper comes into play possibly.
