Another reason to use pre-mixed coolant :D Yea if you wanna pay twice as much for the same amount of product. :roll:

Couldn't stand the look of a magnet mount antenna on my mj. So tonight I made a mount and installed the firestick. Looks much better.

Installed cb last night with a magnet mount antenna. Don't worry the mag mount is temp. gotta build the headache rack before I can put the firesticks on.

Removed my rubber side molding last night and the glue associated with it. P.s. Its for sale if anyone wants it. Cheap.

I don't know if its a split bench or not but someone on here used a bench from a late model dakota I belive. Looked good and had the fold down center.

Finished my headlight relays. Came up one spade connector short. Spent 2 hrs diggin through the electrical drawer and finally found some more. Cleaned iac motor. And fixed the valve cover leak.

I would be 99% positive its an O2 sensor issue. Sounds to me like it is running fine when its in open loop but when it warms up and goes to closed loop you have issuse. (I might be incorrect as to when its open loop and when its closed haven't dealt with OBDI in a while)

:agree: I belong to several forums. One of which I consider my "home" forum. We have different sub forums for all models and there are times it becomes very confusing. I belive comanche club should stay comanche club. I have a CJ and if I need CJ specific help I go to a CJ specific forum. Same holds true with my MJ. Plus this is a great collection of people with the same insane overinterest in MJ's as me. :yes:

Kewl thanks for the info.

Are yours factory height and they gave you 3" or were they made 3" lift springs?

Sweet. I think I need to contact this "Tom" character and see what we can work out on a set of 3.5" MT lift springs for my truck. :clapping: So much for paying bills with my tax check..... :doh: Edit: Just checked the website and he only lists the 4+1 leaf. Do I need to call him and special request the 3+2?

Hard to say. And I think what we may have learned here was this: many people assumed that if an 87+ MJ had a D44 it automatically had the MT pkg. Not true. Now, if you have the factory tow pkg, yes, you automatically had the D44. My truck is an example of that, and I also have the window sticker supporting that info. So, what I think is logical, the same "rules" applied in '86, the only difference being the HD axle was the AMC20 and not the D44, which replaced the 20 as the MJ's HD axle starting in '87. So, you still may hold the answer to the $64,000 question: does that truck have a factory tow pkg? :popcorn: Factory D44 on my 89 (Per Build Sheet), No MT Package, No Tow Package Ok so that answers that question. Is the easiest way to simply count the leaves? Is it definatly a MT truck if it has 5 rear leaves? Now THAT is a definite, but even still with some variations. Yes, MT packs were always 5 leaves. I forget which years were which, but they had one set that had 3 long leaves and 2 short overload leaves, and the other one was 4 progessively lengthed leaves with the 1 overload leaf. Hornbrod can even supply you with the part #s :yes: *Edit, well, once again, nothing is definite, especially with a Jeep. The pack with the 2 overload springs someone could have added an aftermarket overload spring, although they don't usually look the same as the bottom factory spring, so if you lay your eyes on a set of these, I'd say it is "highly likely" they are factory MTs. On the other pack though, there's always the chance one could be an AAL. Best way to tell if these are factory is probably to check 2 things: the 4 main leaves should be evenly spaced, and the tips should be tapered whereas an AAL is usually just squared off on the end IIRC. :ack: Ok so I need to look for 5 leaf packs. Most commonly 3 longs and 2 shorts. But they could be progressively shorter leaves. Correct?

So from what I am hearing "almost" all MJ's with D44 rears had metric tonne springs?

Sucks to see one crunched. You gonna go 97+ clip now or replace with the original? If it helps I have an 87 front clip I would part with reasonably.

Ok ran past Adams on the way to lunch. I am no expert but these don't look to me to be metric tonne springs. Correct me if I am wrong but don't the metric tonnes have something like 6 leaves in the pack?

I will run over on lunch and take a look at it, and report back with my findings and possibly some pics. :cheers:

I will be hauling down the road but its all country roads (no highways) So it won't be at high speeds. Less than 10 miles a trip loaded.

How many of you with metric tonne springs have loaded your truck heavy? I routinely use my MJ to haul firewood and the stock 2wd leaves are just not cutting it. I am looking for an upgrade that will allow me to fill the box. I know its probably not safe and it will ride like crap unloaded blah blah blah.... I am not interested in that. I simply want to know my best option for increasing the payload capabilities and keeping the fenders off the tires.

Pics or Ban

Well my pic isn't all artsy fartsy like some but here is scoot. '97 Honda Magna 750

Brent I hope I didn't come across as pushy. I am not trying to solicit membership in the fraternity, just trying to educate. Freemasonry is often classified as a "religion" which it is far from. I didn't listen to the entire audio on the site but I can tell you that it is not a requirement to be active in you particular religion. Freemasonry's one main requirement is that you have faith and belief in a God. It does not stipulate which God, merely that it be a singular God. I have been a mason since '01. The fraternity is something I hold very dear. I am by no means a masonic expert but will help as best I can to enlighten anyone who is curious about the fraternity. Dave

Perhaps this will help. http://www.grandlodge.on.ca/frameswhat- ... asonry.htm

Freemasonry is not a religious group.
