1064633 You should look for a 5 speed then. The T-176 is a very small (only 40lbs empty) 4 sp transmission. A T-5 is the 5sp that came stock in them. I tossed my T-176 for a T-18 (granny box) cuz I wheel my CJ-5 hard in rocks. I was amazed at how tiny the T-176 actuall is/was. Shocked...

1064635 Dana 300 transfer case. The issue with "flat towing is in fact proper lubrecation of the output shaft. While driving, the input shaft is driven by the motor (duh...) while towing, the input shaft is NOT moving, and and such, all the components that were "driven " from the front are...

1064638 AC not working huh? Sounds like you need to convert it to a Air compressor! Plumb it to a tank call it good! :lol: As for the lean? 2 items come to mind. Springs and body mounts. More likely the springs are bent on the lower side.the [addsig]

1064639 As Tug mentioned, as you remove a crappy TORX, replace it with SAE! (or hex) I started with the TORX screws in my mod 20 diff housing! Made them go bye bye right quick in a hury! Replaced them with SS bolts (1/4 x 3/4x20 to be precise) The only Torx left on my jeep now are those...

1064640 Yes, still using the stock 4.2 head. [addsig]

1065479 18 wheelers have been doing it for years now. I've done a few times now in my truck (6sp) it is way weird, your fighting your instinct to push the clutch before. I guess if ya do it all the time, you'll eventually learn the sounds & speedes it works at. [addsig]

1065485 Actually, the scissor jack is not at all useless. The small scissor can get under and do it's thing, when sometimes the high-lift can't be used. Believe it not, there are people that actually look for them.! In a pinch, I'm sure you could make the thing work. Perhaps not with the...

1065486 Didn't they do PTO's? edited by: jprtroy, Apr 23, 2003 - 01:41 PM[addsig]

1065488 Nother thought? What does all the extra metal do for balance? [addsig]

1065489 Can't say for sure about the YJ's, but my CJ's vent is cable operated. I have to damn near pull the dash off the frame to get the vent to open, but it opens. (that is if the knob stays on! :lol: ) Go ahead and climb your but up under the dash and look at the cables, try to determin...

1065493 Only complaint I have against the newer CJ's is the friggin carbs used and smog crap installed. Avoid if you can any motor that has the "pulsed air" system. The air manifolds are becomming real hard to find! If you plan on a motor swap later, well forget about what I just mentioned...

1057179 Dude, time for a new exhaust manifold period! Think about a borla header! Super easy to install. What you got, is trash now. Either way, it has to come off, if your gonna try to repair it. Not safe otherwise. If your not into a header, try a jeep wrecking yard for a new "used"...

1057334 The 4 cyl's came stock with 4:10. The larger tires are whats keeping your speed down on the hills. Swap out the 4:10's for 4:56's and you should get some of that speed/power back. The stock tire size I stink was like 27" maybe 29" fine for the 4:10's (there are others here that will...

1057338 Eventually, I'll be doing a spring over conversion. I'm not to concerned about how it handles on road, (it ain't for the road) I tow my jeep to most runs, cuz it sucks for speed now (top's out at 62mph) If my jeep was my only means of transportation, it might be a different story...

1057341 I'm running 4:10's with 33" BFG MT's and my max top speed is 63 MPH. With 35' I'll get my top speed back (65 to 70MPH easy). My tire's are brand new, so I'll be swapping out the 4:10's for 3:73's. Running 4:10 with 35"s you'll feel under powered, and loose a lot in your 4lo crawl...

1058188 A very easy way to check wheel bearings is to jack the axle up enought to clear the wheel. Grab the wheel on top and bottom and pull & push from top & bottom. If there is any play or movement, guess what? They need attention. They may have just come loose, and need to be retightned...

1058364 If your in CA. would be an illegal install if the vehicle is regestered for on -road use. For off-road use only it's be ok. Anywhere else, you may be able to get away with the swap. It's gettin to be a popular swap, puttin in a chevy 350 into the wrangler's. It's not gonna be...

1055819 After 20+ years of adding this and that, I'm almost finished! (yeah right!) I need 3:73 gears, the 4:10's work great off-road, but suck on the hwy. A spring over kit, would be nice also. D44 front axle with an ARB Thats it. Jeeps got everything else. edited by: jprtroy, Feb...

1055822 Great buy! This With the warranty still in tact, anything goes wrong, it's fixed! Heck the thing's not even close to break in yet! Good job! [addsig]
