Damn that sucks. Oh well if that's what I must do.

So on my way home last night my left rear upper shock mount broke. The mount rotted off but the frame looks ok from what I can see. Does anyone know of any bolt on shock mounts or are they all weld on replacements. I didn't want to weld because my brake lines and fuel lines are in the way.

Cool thanks guys

When the directionals are on do the front flash? I would say check your fuses but you probably did that. Could be a bad ground (as stated above), bad or melted switch, or your wiring from drivers tail light to the switch. What I would do is start at the switch and work my way back.

With a 2" lift can I use the stock shocks or will they not have enough travel?

I have questioned my fuel gauge since I got the jeep (3 weeks ago). I drained the tank 3 days ago and I did find some water so I'm hoping that was the problem but I guess time will tell.

I've been keeping my fuel above 1/8th tank and I haven't had any problems but this weekend I am replacing all vac lines (even the good looking ones). So I hope this will be the end of that issue.

What's your oil pressure at operating temp?

Well I'll keep it above 1/8th tank and we will see what happens. Thanks for all the info guys.

Is it possible that it was water in the fuel? While this was going on I was at 1/8th tank and after I filled up it stopped.

Yeah I'm going to auto zone after work tomorrow and I'm getting a **** load of vac hose and replacing it all. The ****ty part is that all the vac hose looks somewhat new. I was also thinking maybe the carb was on its way out like something was getting stuck.

Ok so my 20min ride home from work tonight it didn't stall or backfire once. Wtf?

Yep that's the one. Are they any good?

I'm not sure what carb it is but I think it's the stock one from 87 4.2l. Just hoping I can find this prob and fix it before Sunday so I can take my wife out on some trails.

It's pretty sad that I've been a diesel mechanic for 15yrs and I don't know **** about these older gas engines.

Sounds like the heater control switch.

Bypassed the booster and she still runs like shit. 😥

Ok so the carb cleaner did nothing. She will sit at idle as long as the choke is on but if I kill the choke it will stall. Also when the choke is set and I remove the air cleaner it will stall. This thing is driving me nuts.

It's a 87 YJ. The booster is leaking so bad that I can hear it in the cab. I'm going to try the carb cleaner trick and see what happened. I will also change the air filter and I'll let you guys know. Thanks Tim

Could a vacuum leak cause this? I know my brake booster is sucking air but it was running fine till today. I know a vacuum leak will make it run like shit but could it also cause this? Cap and rotor, wires, and plugs where changed 2 weeks ago and my timing is on point. My booster will be changed...
