There is a car meet every saturday morning at the sears outlet near park meadows, which is exactly halfway between co springs and longmont. We could do lunch at red robin after or something.

Stuck In 4 Wheel Drive
COMJNUT replied to Raymond K Essel's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The internals of a np231 are similar to a transmission, it has a collar to select 2 or 4. Maybe the shift fork has slipped off of the collar, but I have never heard of it happening on a 231. An internal "lever" of the 231 contacts the switch to move the cad vacuum motor over. As said proir, your shift linkage could be off to not shift to 2wd, that is common after going into 4wd if you don't have the adjustment nut really tight. If you can picture the 4x4 system as two seperate systems (t-case & vac system connected to it), one added onto the other, you are a lot better off. The ports on the t-case for the vacuum lines, I cannot help you with that, time for a vacuum diagram. I went a posi-lok on mine because the vacuum motors can get water in them and freeze in the winter and break the diaphram within the motor killing it from actuating. That would leave the front axle engaged or disengaged. Best thing to do is get it up in the air (all 4), take the shift motor housing off the front axle, start it, put your auto in 1st, run the t-case through the gears and have someone watching the vacuum motor on the front axle to see if it moves. It could be just the lines, the switch, the lines to the switch, the adjustment of the shift linkage (the adjustment of the shift linkage could cause both problems since the linkage adjustment is external of the t-case and the switch is internal). -
gordon gulch is near nederland...Trail Damage - Gordon Gulch yes, bringing the ramp to CORE would be pointless. It would definately be better for a in town M&G. :rotf:
-
for us to drive up to nederland is the same drive time as going out to CORE
-
dude, you and I can take this on!
-
the greatest insult I've received was someone in the crowd of a parade said "Nice Hummer Truck!"
-
here's an idea: CORE, had easy stuff, has difficult stuff, has mud in certain places if you really want to play in it.
-
With the amount of rain that is hitting that area right now, I would be surprised if that area wasn't a mud pit the entire trail.

How Robust Is The 4.0 Engine Block?
COMJNUT replied to Oyaji's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
my friend ownes a mechanic shop, both he and I have seen many 4.0's that are running on 2 or more failed cylinders for months on end just because the owner does not want to put money into their beat up cherokee. -
get the model number off the side of the body of the shock and do a search to see if they fit.

I've done a lot of towing with mine, from a 93 chevy lumina on a dolly, countless jeep cherokees, a lead sled lincoln, or a good size trailer(a pic is in the MJ's earning their keep thread). I have a 98 D44 with disks on the rear and it does good, but it leaves much to be desired in stopping distance with a load. Upgraded brakes are a must, there is no such thing as overkill on the brakes when you are towing. I would look for full size P/U axles for strangth durability and the brakes. The 3.55 gears are not adaquite for towing with 33" tires, even if you had swapped a 5.9L from a 98 grand into it. I'm at 3.73 gears with a stock motor and a good size load slows me down and is hard to accelerate with the 32" tires that I have. If I was regularly towing weekly, I would want to change the gears to 4.11 or 4.56. Better idea for a tow rig: restore a J truck, it has a better towing capacity, beefier axles, just to name a few positives. Edit to add: yes a log bed would be better for towing, beefier leaf springs with the metric ton package(you can get better ones from alcan than stock) to add to what was previously said.
