Agreed!

I've ran the ford orange tops for a couple years now ,and no issues to report here. I did not notice power ,or mpg increases just a smoother idle.

Now that looks much better!

You have a point Cheyenne I have noticed this also.

Yes that would be me. Thinking about coming to see you soon too!

I realize the ba-10 is not the best ,but mine at least for now is fine ,shifts buttery smooth at 183k. Just thought that it might be cost effective for me to pick another up if I could convert it to 4wd. Thank you for the information Jim I may just go and get the trans. for a relatively easy repair if and when I need it.

Just want to know as I found one for cheap that I could maybe use in the future.

Just found my build sheet behind the drivers side door panel! It's in pristine condition too.

I too have this problem ,and would be very interested to know how to correct it.

Sinkrun is right could very well be a bad starter out of the box.

I could deal with that too ,and it's the perfect color combo!

If you can get in there with a die grinder ,and a thin cutting disk that should work. Go easy ,and take your time.

He just said he likes easy women,ha ha thats funny right there!

Listen to eagle on this. What he has suggested is the best method for removal of heavily rusted nuts.

I will PM you so we don't Hijack this thread Good idea!

I removed my floor vent... i was planning to modify a cherokee vent, close off the opening for the rear vents.I see that you have an mj ,and a muscle car. I too have this combo ,but I have a gt not an r/t how do you like the power of the HEMI,and what mods for it do you have in mind?

You do some quality work. The console looks perfect. In fact, the whole interior looks really smart. Well done. :thumbsup: Thank you very much kind sir!

My lord that is sexy. Thanks Zack ,87 Comanche is correct about the xj full console floor vent fitting in a mini console equipped mj. I didn't know that at the time of install though. Paint your truck black :drool: Just had it painted the original Colorado red last Feb.

Yes notched the very front to fit. If you are not looking close at it you would never know.

That particular header is designed for the 01 XJ and 00+ TJ/WJ. This is the model I am looking at (without the fancy coating) My intent for this thread was not to discuss any hard or artificial data regarding header design and construction or actual power output. My primary goal was to search out a header that is well built, has a decent fit and finish and should resist cracking. I am not trying to eek out another 1/10 second in the quarter, I am trying to assemble parts that work with each other for many years to come. While the information explaining why a certain product is 'lacking' is certainly helpful, it is rather useless to the guy who wants to make an informed purchase if no suggested product is given or if no such product exists. The PaceSetter continues to become a more attractive option in my mind as a 4.0 exhaust manifold replacement. The cost is not much more than stock replacement parts (remember, I was going to reuse the stock manifold until I discovered several cracks), it exists at two points like the late model 4.0 manifolds (which are more resistant to cracking) and it seems to be well received by the folks who own and use it. I agree totally.

Depends on your pocketbook. For starters, an HO head because of the mismatched exhaust ports for your Renix head for the header. This will allow you to install an HO throttle body, a 99+ intake manifold w. a 97 and up power steering pump and bracketry. Then you will need to do the TPS work-around if you stay with the Renix system. I'm not a Renix fan, support parts are drying up for them, and to me it's like polishing an obsolete turd. BUT I respect those who love their Renix Electronique machines, are comfortable with this French/Bendix system, and will not change. If you are dead set on keeping the Renix setup, others are much more qualified to respond than I. I have the renix pace setter header ,and bought it from a fellow CC member as it was a good deal ,and new in box. Was only looking to fix a problem at the time ,and any gains would be a plus. I think i'll re-gear to 3.55 ,and install the header and call it good until something bad happens to my engine.Pocketbooks kinda light ,and will be that way till I get my house paid for.

Ok then since my oem manifold has a slight leak,and I already have it i'll go with it ,and hope for the best. Thanks for the information.Hornbrod what mods would you suggest?

Wow is my pacesetter even worth installing?

I've got one still to be installed so i'm all ears too. :cheers:
