  1. As I've said before, we cut the cable some 7 years ago or better now, my down time is spent learning, always eager to learn. There are several youtubers that I follow, different subjects but most are auto related. I found SMA by accident while watching an AVE episode. I'm attracted to creative and intelligent people who are able think their way through problems. I've yet to find anyone better or smarter when it comes to diagnosing electrical and mechanical failures. I watched one several days ago where he did a compression test on all cylinders by reading the amp draw of the starter motor.....absolutely brilliant. For those of us who are not immersed in auto repair tech 6 days a week- If you want to learn, I highly recommend some binge watching. This vid is quick and smart.
  2. Three good smacks with the palm of your hand at the end of a long breaker. If you've bottomed out the balancer and smack it good..........it ain't going anywhere. 60lbs is your answer but you'll need a positive stop at the flywheel/flexplate.
  3. https://www.motormanfuelinjection.com/JEEP_FUEL_INJECTORS.html Good service here.
  4. Got a part number and source?
  5. What I posted is the correct brackets, do yours look like these? Do you have a pic of your current mount brackets?

  7. It's real simple- You (anyone) asks a question. Question is answered- Here, this works...... You, anyone else, are free to take it or leave it. If you are going to challenge me by essentially stating that I'm being misleading to others..........you better be prepared. What I stated in the first reply works, I have proven that it works. As for the belt, I stated that the engine is coming out, I'm replacing it. The truck has not left my driveway in two years, I'm not spending money for nothing. Maybe if you and others spent more time learning rather than 'feeling'...........we'd all be better off. Here's one of the guys I learn from-
  8. If that's how you feel, that's fine by me.
  9. Do not insult my intelligence and my integrity. I have no reason to lie to anyone, if I tell someone something works, it works because I know for a fact it works. Yes, because I said so. You are wrong, much of what I read (elsewhere in particular) is wrong. As to having something to "back it up", see here- Unedited.
  10. Get a deep cycle battery and a battery tender. For the half hour once a week where you fancy yourself with all the cool lights..........the battery can handle it. Run all the head lights through a pot so you can dim those.......you should also lessen the demand on the battery that way.
  11. Long springs or tie wire.
  12. Yes that should work.
  13. It's no wonder so many of you have problems. You really don't understand how it works.
  14. Transmission, TC, front DS, rear DS, 4x shifter, front axle geared the same as rear axle. And a myriad of suspension and steering parts that you'll want to or need to replace. FWIW- look long and hard, high and low........these parts are getting harder and harder to find. Most of us will look for donors, a '94 XJ is a good donor for your, however, finding a good 2.5 donor is getting near impossible now.
  15. Propane is a cleaner burn, less cylinder wash or fuel wash. Blowby allows unburned gasoline to inter the crankcase and contaminate the oil over time. No, not a fan of propane but whatever.....
  16. SIDS- Small Island Derangement Syndrome
  17. I was going to mention this, however, if you have not seen it yourself.......impossible to explain. Yes, it is possible to not seat the TOB on the fork/lever correctly, nearly got me the first time I swapped.
  18. Because the Efan is secondary. Not just here but on any Jeep site- Efans have a bad rap, primarily because guys do not know how to set up a primary Efan. The factory setup is fail in my opinion. Temp switch is in the rad because the Efan picks up where the primary mech fan fails. Temp switch comes on at what, 220? If your rad temp is at 220 you have failed. Primary Efans have to get ahead of the heat. My new engine has never seen beyond 200 degrees, fan cycles perfectly. Tstat will manage engine temp, it's your job to keep the radiator as cool as possible. You, from the Great White North, however you have yours set up, if it works for you, great. Those of us in the South in particular need to learn to manage heat.
  19. Do you have an AF meter?
