1049174 I also had a 99 Grand that really went through the rotors. I also have a friend with a 2000 Grand having the same symptoms. He went to the dealer and had his replace under warranty. Of course that would be good for you if it was still under an extended warranty. Good Luck.[addsig]

1047913 Awesome - someone that I can relate to - obviously you completed the by-pass already. Do you still have your pulse air system attached? My pipe leading to the cat has a hole in it as well as a separated check valve - therefore I know that part is not working and it is taking up...

1048038 Thanks again, that was sort of what I thought. Currently, I am running a bit lean (vacuum or air leak) so I may go through all the V lines and remove/re-route the ones for the pulse air. I also live in an emissions-free state, so I am looking forward the weber set-up. Thanks for...

1048417 Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to do the Nutter by-pass, and part of it is to screw in the idle jets so the needles are connected to the stepper motor (for a full rich condition). Have you performed that upgrade - any results? I also can't coinceive of what type of...

1048431 I'm here in FL, so emissions aren't a concern - to date. I've also completed the ignition upgrade using a more powerful coil and a larger dist cap and rotor (from a ford 300cuin straight six. Right now idle is smoother with this mod and it wasn't to difficult. I am new to this...

1048456 I'll check the voltage of the coil once I complete the by-pass. I have one project to complete prior to actually getting into the wire cutting. I also have to find the ignition module to be able to splice the infamous purple wire. Basically, I have a bit more investigating to do before...

1048457 I changed my plugs when I upgraded the ignition - they indicated a lean condition. I've read that this could be attributed to vacuum and/or air leak in the system. What other ways can you change a lean system? Does it have anything to do with timing? I'm a bit out of my league here...

1048467 So screwing them out will richen the burn? Wow, I didn't realize all of the intergral working of the 4.2 prior to purchase. I've had 2 wranglers prior to this, a 93 4.0 and an 89 2.5 so all this carb stuff coupled with the amount of vacuum lines starts a big learning curve for me...

1052010 My 89 with the 4.2 gets 16mpg. The only "performance" upgrades so far is the ignition upgrade, fresh set of Champion plugs, new cat and a Flowmaster.[addsig]

1052235 Even if I could, I don't have one. The ends that are really the problem are the top ones connected to sway bar itself. I'm thinking of some sort of vice grips-pushing it through-lots of four letter words-effort. Unless someone who has done this can share their experience.[addsig]

1052238 After further review and an inventory of my toolbox, I went to Discount Autoparts an bought a gear puller. I hope that it works. [addsig]

1052248 Puller No-workie, hammer no workie, patience no more. It looked like I also had to remove the Pitman arm to completely remove the sway bar - it blocked my route to slide it through ao I could work on those links without me being under the vehicle. So I didn't have to completely...

1052304 I really thought thr Raiders would make it interesting.[addsig]

1052515 For $2000, I'd buy it! [addsig]

1052818 :-D I thought that I was the onl one who waved in the Tampa area! Hope to see you around. 8-) [addsig]

1052819 :-D Thanks for the info. Exactly what seal and which bushing should I purchase for the T-case (89, 4.2, 5sp).[addsig]

1052879 Quadratec has the rear housing with the mainshaft rear bushing and the rear output seal for 60.00. Hopefully I won't find anymore problems. How much ATF does a T-case hold - my Haynes manual didn't say. Thanks for the input. :-) [addsig]

1052901 P :-O :-O PJ?!? Anyway I like it - Please add it to the Jeepn cause. More is Better. Go with your heart and get at Jeep!! :-D :-) :-D [addsig]

1050165 I also have an 89 with the 258 and plan on converting over to the weber in the near future. Currently, one of my air tubes (the one to the cat) had a rusted hole and a rusted check valve. Instead of replacing it I just capped off both vacuum lines leading out from the solenoids to...

1050507 I have an 89 4.2 and I replaced the cat AND disconnected the pulse air system (tubes to the cat and down pipe) with no ill effects. My tubes were rusted and 1 check valve broke in two. After installing the new cat and Flowmaster I removed the tube to the cat, disconnected and capped...
