The CPS would be my suspect as well. If you are not getting spark, it's likely because of the CPS being/going bad. As you can see in Pete's pics, it is located in about the 11 o'clock position on the bell housing and can be a little tough to get to.

It happened back in the late '80's when I lived there. We had no power and everything was completely paralyzed for 4 days :shake: . They don't have snow plows (at that time they didn't) so it was a matter of waiting for it to melt. :rotf:

Why not just save the photo to your computer :idea: :yes: . We definitely don't need more stickies... :shake:

That will make a huge difference :thumbsup: . I bought some for mine and saw a 14% increase in MPG. The best place to get them is through this guy as he offers a discount to members that I refer... Precision Auto Injectors. Put ' JEEP ' in the coupon / discount code when checking out for 10% off.

Unfotunately...neither one of those links provide what these guys are looking for. They only show the very basic stuff that we already know...engine, trans, year, bed length, but no real details on the important stuff.

Between what packages?? :dunno:

You could go 32's with at 3-4" lift. Stock it will be 235's or 30's max.

That is the one and only consistent complaint I have heard about doing this change.

Garry...please PM me your VIN number and your email address. I will get you some info and I should be able to see who Chrysler shows as the current owner I think.

Based on the little bit of reading I have done...I would agree :cheers:

Less BS would push then out further and you don't want to pull them in any more as the rears are already tucked in more than the front.

I just did a few minutes of Google surfing as I was curious about it too since you brought it up and I had never heard of it before. The 225/70 is a firmer valving for harder offroad use or a vehicle that is a load carrier / trailer towing. The 170/60 is softer for a more comfortable road ride. I found a Toyota forum that most of the guys said they prefered the 225/70's for over all use nad did not have any trouble with rough ride on the road. Read what I saw here... http://ttora.norcalttora.com/forum/show ... hp?t=62790

Don't know what you tried to link there, but neither of them work. As for the truck...it sounds like you need some extended bump stops.

I just found out that I can no longer get info for anything older than 1989 through my Chrysler website either as I just tried to look up a 1987 for another member here as well as my '88 and could get nothing :ack: .

Yes...the two door versions are a good bit larger. You may be able to cut them down to fit a 4 door or an MJ, but I am not sure about that.

I am definitely hoping and praying that you will be back to some amount of normal life soon, but absolutely take what time it needs. I am very happy you are still with us and only want to see you get better :thumbsup:

Here is a shot I found of snow on the beach at Emerald Isle, NC yesterday... :huh???: Kinda makes it look like the white sand beaches of the Clearwater, FL area :yes:

If you want to take the complete carpet out, yes, you will have to remove the seat and console as well as the plasstic trim pieces on the rocker panel (bottom of the door). If you want to do a quick check just in the foot area you can just remove the rocker trim and pull the carpet back to see under it there.

Why are they keeping you out of work so long CW?? :hmm: My friend that just had his 4th heart attack and his 3rd stent put in only 3 weeks ago is already back to work and was actually only out 2 weeks. He was only out 4 days on the third one, but that was against doctors orders big time. I know every situation is different, but 2 months seems extreme from what I have seen.

Sounds like a defective t-stat to me. If you/he drove it 40 miles and there is that much difference in temps from top to bottom and the cap is not hot...t-stat is stuck/bad frm my experience.

Thus the reason that I built a frame to hold them ;) . Sand bags are good, but inevitably get ripped open and all the sand ends up creating a big mess in the bed of the truck...BUT, I do see the advantage of having it if you are stuck in the slippery stuff too :thumbsup: .

Tell a good 4x4 place how much lift you have and they should be able to figure it out for you. They may want measurements of the distance between your shock mounts after the lift is done to do it though.

An AX5 is barely able to handle the power of a stock 2.5L so there is no way that it will be able to take another 90 HP unless you put a turbo on and then drive like a granny...and I am sure that's not going to happen ;) . I am shocked that the dealership would have to call you back about that. You must have inquired with a salesman or something as anyone in parts or service should be able to give the quick...hell no...to that one.

Calculating the correct shock can be difficult at best if you do not have access to all dimensions of the shocks that you want to use. The extended length is obviously a need to know, but the distance between the upper & lower mount must be known as well as the collapsed length of the shock to be used. If you have the truck sitting on level ground and you measure 20" from the top to bottom shock mount, then to my way of doing things you would need a shock with and extended length of about 26" and a collapsed length of around 15-16" as I always wanted mine to have a little more down travel than up travel. Not all shocks are created equal in the categories of extended length vs. collapsed length so, as I said, it can be quite difficult to figure out on your own. Typically, if you take measurements of your mounts spacings and go to a good 4x4 shop they will be able to figure the best length for you. I did it MANY times while working at 4 Wheel Parts.
