Very rough idle and fuel leak on rail
watchamakalit replied to Jesse J's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Lmao. Thats why you need to be careful taking internet advice. Better check all the plugs as mentioned. Ps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HU2L1NU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_4VGXHDBW5400EJXEHKM4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 -
Just Bought 88 sport truck
watchamakalit replied to makoa's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Welcome to the club. Be warned the addiction sets in fast. Looks to be a really clean straight truck. don't forget to add it to the registery. -
I can when I get to the shop. Not much special to see. I'm running the adjutable track bar and short arms. Quality is top notch and their aftrr sales service has been great so far.

I'm running core 4x4 stuff on my rig. 6,000ish miles so far and no complaints.

Very rough idle and fuel leak on rail

Well I learned something new. -

About 2 weeks ago the chain went out in the transfer case. I picked up a 231 from a 96xj at the local yard. Might go back and grab the aw4 too. Havent decided yet. Had to swap tailhousings from my 94 tcase to the 96 to make it work. However now I have a quiet and fully functional case. It is leaking a little at the tailhousing joint but that is my silicone job. I stuck my finger in it during install but hoped for the best. Today I am going to take care of the leaking tcase. Next on the list is to fix the loose trackbar. The hole for the lower mount is oblonged and I need to decide on a proper permanent fix. Tired of the slop in the front end. I almost forgot. I scored a free steering wheel. Id thank him here but Ron seems to be fairly computer illiterate from what he tells me. Look at my leather wrap...... -

Make sure you spark plug is grounded or it can't spark. First step will be determining spark or not. The ballast resistor should be just forward of your picture. Like this -
lower trackbar bolt hole
watchamakalit replied to watchamakalit's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I just double checked that. Looks like they all raise the trackbar mount. Looking like the black magic brakes bolt is a good option. What woukd be different from that to a good fitting grade 8 from the hardware store? -
lower trackbar bolt hole
watchamakalit replied to watchamakalit's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Intersting change of events. I just discovered replacement brackets. Didnt know anyone made these. So suggestions on best bracket? Weld on vs bolt on? Sounds like this would be a more correct repair than the other options. -

Very rough idle and fuel leak on rail
watchamakalit replied to Jesse J's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Is there sufficient fuel in the tank? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but ive been down that road before. -
Coins for the top 2 or 3 ranks and wheels for the rest? I don't know just throwing out ideas.

lower trackbar bolt hole
watchamakalit replied to watchamakalit's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Drilling the hole larger won't bother me. I can capture a nut to fit behind. Guess I was just looking for input on which is best or easiest. -
Steelies We could get into zj rims too if need be. They fit mjs.....

1988 MJ 2WD 4.0 Exhaust Hanger Help
watchamakalit replied to 88manche2wd's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I have one on the parts truck. -
My lower trackbar bolt has wallowed the hole in the axle mount. Seems the common fixes are drill it to a larger hole and install a larger bolt. Or weld on a hardened washer to serve as a new hole. What would be the better option? I have a core4x4 trackbar and I checked with them, drilling the bushing is ok with them.

What temp is the thermostat?
-
It only changes the distance between the spring and frame on one end. The other end of the spring stays mounted in the same place. Therefore you only gain half the height. Your lengthening one side of a triangle. Not both sides of a rectangle.
-
Condition of the leaves shouldnt effect shackle lift gains. The springs will be the same worn out springs before and after a shackle change. Easiest way to see what a shackle lift will net is to measure the length of the new shackle. Measure the old shackle. Then subtract the old from new. Divide the results by 2. This will give you real world numbers for a shackle lift. Example: numbers are made up for example Factory shackle- 4"eye to eye New shackle- 6.5" eye to eye 6.5" - 4" = 2.5" 2.5" รท 2 = 1.25" So a 2.5" length difference in shackles will lift the truck 1.25" Hope this helps someone.

They look right according to the picture. Does the Amazon description say what they are supposed to fit?

Rusted Hub Assy | Can't remove
watchamakalit replied to howeitsdone's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Heat. pb blaster. Bfh. Not sure what else to suggest. I have always used the power steering method on the really stuck ones. If your brave you could try bolting the wheel back on and setting the weight of the truck back on it. Not sure it will work but the weight of the truck might be enough to pop it loose.
