Definitely an add on helper spring that has been there quite a long time.

Nice Don... :thumbsup: I am making a note of this one for future reference.

The best one to get for ease of the project will be up to '96 or '97 if I remember correctly. You really want to get them out of a 2 door model as well so you have the fold forward feature to get behind the seats.

Good news brother...good news :thumbsup: . Keep it coming :yes:

Yes, you are correct. The motor housing is very obvious on the right side rear of the axle tube where the control arms connect. There will be vacuum lines running to it.

:idea: He could write a book... Forum Speak for Dummies :thumbsup: Why not?? There is a "something for dummies" out there for everything else... :dunno:

Correct...and the fact that they both turn in the same direction says that there is some type of traction device (locker / limited slip) in there.

:idea: Smoked :idea: , AHHHH...now it starts to make sense :chillin: :yes: :rotf:

You are correct...the AX4/5 tranny's are notoriously weak and should be kept to 95% DD & 5% easy trail. Driveline angles are not a worry in these trucks unless you are going more than 6-7" of lift. Go 3", throw some 31's on it and be done :thumbsup: I am in ageeement with your ideas of 4.0L, AX-15, 8.8 rear w/OX, D30 (non-disconect) front with Aussie or similar. :cheers:

:thumbsup: A little internet searching has shown me that MT90 is rated at the top with AMSIOL as "the" two best choices for use in transmissions with sensitive brass syncros. I had to do some checking as I had heard of MT90, but never really knew what it was.

:jump: Great job on that short version!! :thumbsup:

If you found a head that they guarantee is good for $200, I would jump on it. :thumbsup:

The 8.8 is a very desireable swap so yes, if you can get that it would be great. My preference on the perches are the ones from Rubicon Express, but buying some new stock perches would be fine. Depends on what axle you go with as to where you are going to need to get perches from though.

That would be nice, but keep wishing ;) Shouldn't take long though. It's just four 5/16 bolts on each one :thumbsup:

OK...is there another definition of "Peyote" other than some type of spineless Cactus? :hmm: . That's what I got from Google anyway... Lophophora williamsii (pronounced /loʊˈfɒfərə wɪlˈjæmsiaɪ/, lō-fof′ŏ-ră will-yăm′sē-ī), better known by its common name Peyote, (from the Nahuatl word peyotl), is a small, spineless cactus[2]. It is native to southwestern Texas and through central Mexico. It is found primarily in the Chihuahuan desert and in the states of Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi among scrub, especially where there is limestone.

:eek: Look out...Zoolander's on the war path :clapping: :yes: Gotta love this crowd. The comments can get a little out of line sometimes, but it's nothing like what you would get on most other sites :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Club :cheers: Definitely go with the 4.0L as the 2.5L is not worth the effort or money for stroking. The firewall may need a "massage", but I think you are OK there. The AX-15 will work fine...and they started in mid 1989. 231 is fine. 8.25 will be ok, but you need to be sure to get the later model with the 29 spline shafts, but I forget the year for the change on those... :hmm: . A D44 would be better if you can find one. If you nave a complete donor vehicle, the swap should not be a real big deal. most everything is a bolt on change except the rear axle as you will have to weld new perches on for the MJ springs.

OK...the password thing was clarified, but this has been there for the last two days now...?? :hmm:

I did that too, but there was no change in performance, MPG or anything because you are getting dirty used injectors. The benefit of buying from someone like Precision is that they are basically a new injector and have been completely cleaned, new filter installed, new orings, new caps as needed and they have been flow matched to provide the best economy and performance. When I went from the used Ford injectors to the ones from Precision, I saw better / smoother idle, slightly quicker start up, better accleration and a 14% increase in MPG. MPG gains will vary, but there is always an improvement with these :thumbsup: :smart:

:rotf: That's awesome

:clapping: Great story!!! I needed a laugh this morning :thumbsup:

Tom Woods could probably send you some :idea:

I only have the Chrysler parts look up system to go by, but they are completely different "part numbers". I have seen many different things have different part numbers, but still interchange over the years though. The fact that they are different part numbers makes me believe that there is some reason for this...but, who knows :dunno: My experience: I ordered one for my MJ and the people I got it from sent one for an AX-15 by mistake and it looked similar to the one that came out of my BA10-5, but there was no way it was going to work as the fluid & bleed lines were in completely different orientations and would not hook up.

That description sounds like some kind of aftermarket helper spring. Maybe something like this from Hellwig??

:agree: Just remove the axle ends only and strap them securely up under the truck :thumbsup:
