Spitting / Sputtering / Backfiring
relyt120 replied to ftpiercecracker1's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
does it do it at idle? I had a similar issue a while back and it wouldn't do it at idle, ended up being the fpr despite it checking out good, something inside it would screw up with a bump and you can't really tell because you have to be under the hood to check the pressure. I have a spare if you want to swap it to see if it helps. -
Should be even easier with an auto to manual swap, you don't have to remove the tcu. Should be able to swap to trannys, rig the nss, and I think there is part of the Tb that has to be changed.

I don't think a kj 8.25 is the same width and it has coils rather than leaves. But the brake backing plates do swap to the xj 8.25

As you can see there are things I did to the truck but didn't document but that is basically how it sits now from the exterior. Ima get some more interior pics to show y'all how that is now, the seat and all. I drive it everyday to and from school/work waiting for the next thing to replace upgrade. I have another that i drive only on weekends you can see it in my signature. It all started from this truck that I would pass on the way to visit my granny. I didn't know what it was called and hated the orange paint but i knew i wanted one and now i have two... you can't beat that.

Picked up a 3/4 cluster to put in and some more parts to take to the painter also upgraded to the 95/96 valve cover to get rid of the oil in the airbox.

Me and my painter worked out a total cost of $1600 for the paint job, not including door jambs, and I would pay him to paint like one or two parts at a time. Worked out really well since i had everything to be painted as a spare part less the hood, doors, and cab. Here is the intermediary paint job results: record of the paint code for future uses. The parts sat stored in my hallway nook and in the garage for at least a year while i saved and bided my time to get the cab done.

Got all my ducks in a row and managed to get the old girl back together, with a 97+ header panel too. Couldn't find workable fenders or bumper so i went with what i could find.
-
Since I was in a repair phase i started to collect parts. Like a replacement bed, the one on it had been damaged heavily and my paint guy said it was not worth saving. My cousin gave me a hand. Think i got out the door with the bed, tailgate, lights, harness for less than $250.
-
All in all it was not too much damage. Bumper was toast, fender was crunched, header panel was shot, fan contacted the rad and it sprung a leak, definitely could have been worse. The worst part is my fog lights i had just put on were ruined. :fs1: Time for the tear down.
-
Installed the fog lights i got for Christmas to a switch in the dash via a relay of course....then i wrecked my baby ='( Driving home from school on the interstate and this lady in a camry slammed on her brakes at the last second , guess she wasnt paying attention to traffic....her brakes were good enough to stop on a dime, mine would have been lucky to stop on a silver dollar. :doh:

I got to work quickly buying a few parts online where i could find them, mostly cosmetic. I had a lot of ideas but no skills so I couldn't do too much at first. got a fey bumper, replacement tailgate, grill insert, removed the bed bars, added a tool box. easy stuff.
-
This is when i got it home. I was definitely excited and had to take a bunch of pics of the first vehicle i ever bought. The thing was older than I was, had a hole in the gas tank, and a headliner that would cause green snow to pour down at the slightest agitation but it was all mine with money i had earned.
-
Here are the pics from the craigslist ad I got it from. Had to drive from Nashville to Glasgow ky. Not a bad drive and definitely worth it! The date stamps are definitely wrong, this was in 2011. Picked it up for $1175.

I have been putting this off for a long time but have a lot of free time today so I'll go ahead and post this up. I got my truck in the summer of 2011. She is a 1989 Comanche Pioneer,4.0, 2wd, d35, auto on the column, with about 280000 miles on it. I really am just guessing about that mileage because the guy I bought it from at a pseudo car lot, really it was just a garage with cars out front, said the gauge cluster had been replaced and it actually had 140k miles on it rather than the near 240k the clock was showing. I was inclined to believe him because it ran very well, but then I realized ho hard it would have been to find a cluster with the shift indicator installed and other factors so I think the guy was full of sh*t. Back to the main event.... I've had the truck ever since and have done numerous things to it such as: New hoses Alternator Radiator Grill Fogs Temp gauge Bumper Tailgate Recovered seat Valve cover Wrecked it Replaced sheet metal after wreck 97+ nose New bed Head gasket Paint Numerous oil changes and plugs etc Open cooling system conversion Added an inverter Horns Power windows/locks Jeepsticker decals Remote start, with remote locks And a bunch of other stuff I know I'm forgetting. It has always been fun but I have had a few stumbles along the way. Hopefully the next post with all the pigs will paint a better picture that this one.

won't work http://comancheclub.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/thumbs.gif I'm lost. Why wouldn't it work? The wheel base is so long it would get caught on just about anything -
