If it were close of would but it also. For that price I would buy it and daily it just for the looks from people.

Thank you!

You are correct. I know nothing about the 2.5. There 4.0 on the other hand I have had a few of.

Good to hear your getting it so put back together.

I installed it in the top. That way it would get filtered air and stay clean. It stays much cleaner than in the intake manifold.

This is mine installed in the air cleaner. I put it after the air filter to keep it clean. It stays much cleaner than in the intake manifold.

From the factory it goes directly in the intake. I saw no real difference with it in the air cleaner. The ECM does read the air temp is lower beacuse it is. The intake is not heating the sensor.

Not for sure. I actually mounted mine in the air box.

Then it was in to my next little annoyance. If you were going over 40 there is a crazy whistle from both windows. Also if you power wash the truck you get water inside. The front window guide/seal was the problem. You can see the big chunks missing off my driver's side track/seal. The passenger side whole outside strip was gone. They are fairly simple to replace. There are just a few steps. Roll the window all the way down. Remove the window crank, door handle, and grab handle. Then remove the door panel. There are two screws on the door frame. Remove these two screws. Remove this 10MM bolt. The window then rocks back. Once you get it free and continue to work and pull it out. Cleaned off the rust. A coat of paint since they were out. New seals available from Mopar. One for each side. They just push in. New one in place. Nice and new. No more wind or water leaks. The pile of old! It was definitely some work but very worth while!! I can finally wash my truck and not get wet inside! There is also no more whistle at highway speeds. Now I just have to clean the garage!

Glad you got them.

Today was fix the little things that drive me crazy day. After I installed my list I felt like I had a small rake to the rear. It seemed to get a little more noticable as the springs settled. So I got out the take measure and level. Low and behold it wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me. This was on the bedside at the rear. The front was definitely a little higher. The front measured just shy of 37" ground to center of the flare. The rear measured 36.5 or just under. I had already ordered new rear shackles beacuse even if it was my eyes the rear was going up just a little. I bought Rubicon Express RE2700. They are listed as a lift shackle for an XJ. They list them as 5" center to center. From what I had read MJ shackles are 5" center to center. When I installed the lift I used Dakota shackles that were what I thought almost an exact match to the MJ shackles. Left to right is. Rubicon Express, Factory MJ, and Dakota. Apparently I was wrong on the Dakota shackles being the same length. Ops! The Rubicon Express are a closer match to the originals though. Just sightly longer and grease able. I did have to rethread one of the grease fitting holes. It has a spot of welding splatter in it. After I installed them I have just a tiny take to the front. The front is still just shy of 37" and the rear is just over 37". I love the almost perfectly level stance. Before. You can just see the rear is slightly down. After. Took it out for a shake down. All is good!

Beautiful truck! That interior looks awesome.

Welcome to the club and the addiction. That is a nice truck for a high school car. This is a very good platform to learn how to work on things.

That is beautiful!!!

Had a buddy come over and help me lift the axles out of the bed if the truck. We then stripped all the extras off the front axle. Popped the cover off to make sure it was also a 4.10 and it was. The front axle was also very clean inside and the fluid looked great. Put each one on a furniture mover so I could easily roll them around and work on. Hauled all the extra crap that came on the axles to work and threw it in the scrap dumpster. Also cleaned out the garage of the other scrap laying around. Moved them to their resting place until I get the time to clean, paint, and install them.

Got my stuff a couple days ago. You do awesome work! Thank you.

Looks good to me. The person that points that out is really looking for something. That's a beautiful truck you have there!

Agreed.

That is awesome. Looks like it should be there.

I like the black logo. I just ordered some. Thanks for doing this.

Got the cover off the rear axle and it definitely is 4.10. It looks very clean inside and the pinion seal is dry. Now to strip the junk of the front one.

I know never spend money on a Dana 35. I don't listen to well some times. The old girl just isn't too happy with 3.07 gears. So I started looking for axles thinking that would be the cheapest and my rear pinion bearings are in their way out. So I still across a truck with 74359 miles on it with 4.10 gears. I paid $300 for both axles. I figured for that kinda money I couldn't go wrong. Now I just need to stop them down and get them installed. It is a Dana 35 and a CAD Dana 30 but I now have spare axles for both. I can also rear all the new parts already on the trucks axles. They came complete to say the least. This is the first real load I have hauled with her. Definitely a little squat!

Bringing home her new axles. Definitely squatting a little bit.
