Is it the exhaust cooling off perhaps that you hear? I usually hear a hollo ping after stopping the engine. What color is the coolant?

Hmm 2.5L as well. I’m curious about some of the other things about it.

What’s weird is even if there’s three of them in one spot, we didn’t even get a single person to come talk about them.

Closed down, Bob and Julie scrapped damn near everything except a few things including an MJ bed and the building became another shops within a week of AMC closing. ‘‘Twas a sad day.

Removing the seat actually does wonders for laying in the MJ and working on the fuse block.

I swear I’ve seen a few NOS blue speedos on eBay.

Hmm. I’ll check into that and see.

Someone is after that shift bezel Pete. Lol.

Lol. We thrive off of misplaced posts.

Dang. Sounds like yours went through hell and back about 5 times. I mean yeah the design isn’t the best compared to the others of the big three but at the time it was cost saving solution for AMC to have. I’m just surprised any of them last this long.

Really? I’ve never had an issue with any of the ones I had in my hands. Ran them through a vinegar bath to help clean up the brass contacts and they all worked with no issue or loose pieces. Interesting that yours had issues.

Done. Shame the dealer building doesn’t stand anymore.

Couples miles North of Grand Ave on Cactus. But yeah N Phx.

I’ll keep an eye on my tires and watch out for uneven wear. I am on a new set and since I went up in size, I probably need to adjust the shims accordingly anyways. I appreciate everyone’s help with this! I understand a bit more of what’s goin on.

Man you were up in Wickenburg and didn’t stop by to say hi on your way back!? Looks like a fun trip though.

So that’s where the passenger side high trim level charcoal went. Yeah nothing sucks more than installing one of those panels and having to surgically make the cuts to have the speaker, crank and screw holes for the speaker cover and map pocket. That was a fun hour spent.

I’m just trying to have everything in the steering department be correct and not chewing through tires before their lifespan. That’s all. I’m looking into getting some shims soon.

Great parts truck. Dibs on the winch! Lol.

The emissions book is pretty cool actually. I think I am gonna go hunt for that one. Yeah the library grows and will continue to grow. I think my favorite finds are the accessory books and the Jeep engine books.

Thats exactly what I think it is as well judging by the wear but my thought was that our tires wear evenly from inside to out. Not sure now on that. I thought about those and tried that 1* adjuster kit and I couldnt and can't use them due to the 2wd knuckles being different in the 87-90 years than the early years. I still wonder why AMC made a different knuckle design for 2wd after 86 when it wouldve been cheaper to use the same setup.

I think all mine are 1/32" shims. I didnt see anything thicker or thinner than each other.

Absolutely fun! I wonder why the specs are like that? Let alone eating the insides of tires. Seems like I will have to stick with an aggressive rotation schedule.

6 on the driver and 7 on the passenger.

So if thats 7*-8* inward than do I need to remove shims? But it could also be worse from the increased tire size and who knows what all my grandfather did to the MJ prior to my ownership.

If it did it looks like it brought the caster in by a degree judging by the print outs. The only other differing factor is I’ve gone up in tires size. 2017 was the original 205 size and still had the caster. Went up to 215 in 2019 and then 235 this year and caster is still bad. I’ve examined the frame and area multiple times for any sign of buckling or damage and I still can’t find anything.
