Hi, It isn't any harder than changing engine sizes, that's for sure! It just takes a bit more time... But anyways, if you want to swap the engines, I too would lean towards the Jeep Inline 6 because it should require less modification than going to a non-jeep engine, and you'd likely have an...

Hi, You first host the picture on the internet, then change your "profile" settings to point to its location. See my two posts in the "Forum Related" section of the forums for a detailed explanation of signature/ avatar pictures. :mrgreen: -Nick :!:

RE: High speed shake Just to be clear, the range per charge of most Electric Vehicles is NOT low because of motor efficiency. In fact, DC electric motors are around 80% efficient, AC motors can achieve as high as 90% efficiency. Compare this to a typical Internal Combustion Engine which is...

Yes, I think you'll have lots of little problems with the OBD-II computer system if you choose to "accidently" bypass any of the emission control system components. Of course, I've never understood what removing/hollowing the catalytic converter accomplishes except to provide you with problems...

Hi, I deleted your repeat thread. Let's keep this to one thread so it is easier to follow. Thanks -Nick :!:

Welcome! I don't know much at all about the 4 cylinder setup, so can't comment about that. My suggestion, however, would be to get it fixed up and running first, then work on "fixing it up" as in lift, new tires, other neat goodies, etc... Are you thinking about keeping it a 4-cylinder or...

Hi, The stars were reincarnated from long ago (we once had them on an old version of the forum software). Besides, at least you're not a "groupie" :roll: -Nick :!:

RE: Re: RE: Where has been Sully ? Hi, Also, What is the host for this image? Is it one of those free sites which you have an account on? -Nick :!:

images.... Sully, Those are some excellent pics! That's cool that you were able to get a Jeep for the trip. 8) -Nick :!:

RE: np435 (new big transmission) Hi, If you're worried about gas efficiency and are buying a new car, maybe you should get a Hybrid... On the other hand, you could convert your Jeep to a gasoline-electric hybrid or convert it to run on an alternative gas like propane yourself. 8) Just a...

Hi, When I bought a soundbar, this is also how I connected the dome light: by splicing into the wiring to the driver's side footwell light. One of two things happened when you opened that door: 1) The fuse for the dome lights blew due to a short circuit 2) The fuse was not present or not...

RE: 1980 CJ 7 51000 Orignal Miles Hi, I'd suggest using Limewire or WinMX. Limewire being my new favorite as it is cross-platform compatible (i.e. it works on all Operating Systems). I won't get into the argument about the "legality" of file sharing copyrighted material... :P -Nick :!:

1980 CJ 7 51000 Original Miles Fiberglass Hi, If you mean that at times the belt stops moving while the engine pulleys are spinning, then that is very bad. The serpentine belt drives the water pump, and alternator. It is important that these devices are functioning at all times when the...

Hi, Well, assuming the stats are correct (and they aren't), there are 4,698 of us here.... Welcome :mrgreen: -Nick :!:

Hi, I believe that it is overheating of the brake pads which causes problems. Basically, if the pads get too hot, very thin layers of material from them can fuse (get stuck) onto the surface of the rotors. Once this happens, the surface of the rotors are no longer perfectly flat. A combonation...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Going newer... Got Questions Hi, Catalytic converters shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred dollars at most. Just be sure that the replacement you buy has the correct ports for the oxygen sensors, because you DO need these sensors in place. -Nick :!:

RE: Propane Tank question Hi, Jeep definately uses a combo of metric and standard sizes. Which ones, I don't remember. What I do remember is fighting with the leaf spring eye bolts forever before they would release. As Tug and Bounty said, you'll probably want lots of PB-Blaster (which is far...

Hi, If you're worried about fuel economy, get neither. :P But since I myself love Jeeps (and don't want to get flamed off this board :mrgreen: ), I'd choose the XJ Cherokee. I used to get 19.1 to 20.5 miles per gallon in my Cherokee. It has a manual transmission, which is more efficient than...
