is this a difficult upgrade or something that can be done in a day or so? any re-wiring needed or does it hook up just like the stock heater? Thanks

Just wondering, what year Blazer heater do I need to do an upgrade to my '81 CJ5? Stock heater just ain't cuttin' it.

on the same subject, how do you replace the bulbs in these lights? Mine are slowly going out, one by one.

I have a 1981 CJ5 with 258 I6, the leak is from the fitting that attaches to the top of the fuel pump. Fuel is leaking from the top of the screw fitting, not a big leak, but a leak. The fuel hose that attaches from the side of the fuel pump is fine, no leak at all.

OK, I changed out my fuel pump this weekend because I needed to put a new gasket on it. Had a leak around the gasket that needed to be fixed anyway. Problem is, now I have a new fuel pump and gasket, but now have a fuel leak at the top of the fitting for the metal fuel line. I have taken it...

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped me solve my starting problem. After replacing the starter, solenoid, battery and battery cables, my '81 CJ5 now runs, once again. I think I had mentioned that the old starter was the original, numbered to the block and all, so it had more than served...

If it does end up being the flywheel, would I need to replace the ring gear, flywheel or both? Also, how big of a job is this? Thanks PS.. I am taking the battery to Auto Zone tomorrow for test, hopefully this is all I need. The starter I removed was the original American Motors starter...

OK, I installed a new starter and solenoid, no change. Still getting the "whirring" sound. Checked the battery, much corrosion, on the terminals and on side of battery itself. We just had our first cold snap last night, so I am thinking that the battery was in bad shape to begin with and the...

Went to start up my '81 CJ5 this morning, and as normal, she started on the first turn of the key, then died. This is normal though. Went to start her up again, and just got a "whirring" sound. I am thinking it is a bad starter, am I right? Or could it be the ignition module? What are the...

have the stock 258 I6, with the Carter BBD. The Carter has been running well, no problems with stalling, good idle. Just looking for something to add a little more power.

I am toying with the idea of changing my 2 BBL carb to a 4 BBL carb, what would I need to do and what would I need to get as far as parts? I know I will need the carb, but what other mods will be needed? Will this increase my power? Thanks

did not really pay much attention to which Super Swampers they were, I only noticed them because of the price. This was at a Wal Mart in Gonzales, LA. I just called the tire manager and he said that the price was the same across the country as far as he knew.

Only sizes I saw were the 35's. Just got back from getting new BFG's for $77, 31's. Good prices. I tried Pepboys, they wanted over $100 just to mount the tires. WalMart has my tire business now.

I can't see re-connecting my swaybar... Just came back from my local Wal Mart and was surprised to see Super Swampers for $80 per tire. This was for the 35x12.5 tires. Do not know if this is nation wide, but if you run the big tires, this is a bargain. I only run 31's on mine, so have at 'em

would the motorcraft 2100 work as well as the 2150 on my I6 258 ?

Got a line on a used set of Clifford headers for my 258. Can anyone let me know about Clifford? Any good?

New Offroad Site I am looking to get new rubber on my '81 CJ5 and am looking at the Futura tires from PepBoys. Anyone have any experience with these? I am currently running Buckshot's, but need something a little more friendly on roads, but also useable off-road on occaision. Thanks

Seems like the problem corrected itself. I had already purchased a new fuel filter and fuel pump, then no problem anymore. At least I have the parts if needed. Thanks for asking

What size allen wrench do I use for the fill plug on the AMC 20 rear axle? I tried 2 different sizes and it starts to round it out. Thanks.

Just yesterday, my CJ5 began giving me problems starting. It is always on the first start of the day, or if it has been sitting at work all day. Initially, she will fire up as usual, then will stop, almost like she is not getting fuel. After that, all she will do is turn over for about 5...
