1055065 Why use the stock header? Rip that puppy out and put a Borla header in there! Oh wait a minute, you mentioned fairly inexpensive. Well, Forget that idea. [addsig]

1055604 For a 4 cyl, the electric fan alone with out the shroud may be ok. If you had the 6er, I'd say use the electric as a secondary. The fan shroud is an integral part of the cooling system. It's needed to force the fan to pull fresh cool air from in front of the radiator thru the...

1055608 Toss that T-176! The 350 with do very bad things to it! Find a T-18, or NP435,(ford applications)SM 420 should bolt right up a 350, with a 7:1 first gear! I had a T176, and was shocked at how tiny the thing was! It weighed like 40lbs when empty!. T-18, is a beast compared to it...

1055615 It's a little hard for us to answere with the little bit of info you supplied. Can exhaust items be hurt from being stuck? Sure they can, if they were what caused the jeep to get stuck. (hanging up on branches, rocks etc...) Can snow affect exhaust? probably not. Finding a leak in...

1040534 Compared to my 82' CJ-5 that thing looks like it just rolled off the factory line! Sorry I haven't replied sooner, been busy with a new Dodge diesel! (and working nights) Having owned my CJ-5 since 1982, there's not much I havn't done to it over the yrs. My only regret is that it is...

1040535 Specialty Jeep's also has everything for the stock jeep. (650)592-2130 If the places yu called for seats were "back ordered" chances are not to many places will have the seats your lookin for, (common supplier?) Good luck... [addsig]

1040536 Heck, my 82' CJ-5 with T-18, 4:10's, 33's, Mopar multi-port kit goes faster that. Not much faster though! 62 -64MPH is all I can get out of her. Gearing is the reason in my case. Are you positive the gears are what you mantioned? When I had her stock (3:31's with 31's) I could get...

1040537 A little late, perhaps. What ? Are you speaking of, the brake line's? The fittings on the brake lines? I'm guessing you have YJ (from your avatir) Answer? No! the brake line's (hose) should not be tight. There should be some slack for articulation! if, the lines are taught, you...

1040538 A little late, I know. Congrats on your purchase. What state are you in? I'm sure your smog requirements are just a little different than mine out here in CA. Typically, an EGR valve, Does the exhaust manifold have air tubes attached to each cylinder? Thats where the smog pump...

1040594 For the longest time, I didn't wave at anything but the CJ series, And I would always get waves from other CJ's.(alway's! This was shortly after the new body style came out ( the YJ's) To us (CJ owners) at the time, these wern't real jeeps. I've since long grown out of that thinking...

1040916 Well, I can think of 2 possibilitie. They are, the T5 (5 sp) and the NV4500 also a 5sp. The NV4500 is a monster though, will require a new bell housing, and new drive lines. The T5 came stock in the 6cyl CJ7's. I don't know about it being a direct bolt up though. If you have a...

1040917 I'm not so sure your TJ's interior was designed for the weather. Unlike my 82' CJ-5, rain, mud, sun, birds couldn't hurt it's interior. I removed the carpets long ago, keep the floor board drain holes open, heck, I wash it out with a hose! But, it's not my daily driver either. Only...

1040918 First off, let me say that I'm not defending zukis. But, I have seen some set up zukis do some crazy s&^%! Stuff I wouldn't have tried in my set up CJ-5. Thier only problem is no HP and no space! With the short wheelbase, they can actually get around /over things that some jeeps...

1041114 The thing mentioned in the previous reply is a adapter plate that allows the Dana 300 to be rotated up, allowing more clearance under the "bulge". The output is centered, the front driveline is not. It is off to the right (passenger side) Good luck with your build-up! [addsig]

1041115 Think about this. What is causing the hose to swell? If the water pump is working, you'll be able to see coolant move in the top tank. You'll want to check this with a cold motor! NEVER REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE MOTOR IS HOT! With a cold motor (cold coolant) you can run the motor...

1041116 He needs to get away from the "kragen" auto remanufactured pumps! In my young & dumb days I went cheap. I went through fuel pumps fairly often, then but they were remanufactured pumps! Is he absoulty sure the pump is the problem? How is he testing it? A good check is to...

1041279 I've had my CJ-5 now for 20yrs (come jan 03) bought it basically new (from an insurance company. It was stolen from the orignal owner, and found/recovered, after the claim was paid.) It work's fine still! Although, if I were to "do it all over again" I'd go with the CJ-7. If...

1041873 Well, had a big write up going but lost it Go with the winch first, then the hi-lift. I think you'll use the winch much more than the hi-lift. (unless you blow beads often!) [addsig]

1041874 Getting the Mopar kit, does away with all that crap! The mopar kit is modeled after the 94' wrangler motor. It supplies all necessary (needed) vac hoses, and a K&N air filter! Otherwise, yes the hoses are needed. They supply vacuum to certain acutators here & there on the block...

1041875 If you have a CJ-7 you can install a 5sp, (enough room) not sure about direct bolt up's though with it. If you require a real low first gear then think about the T-18 (6.4:1) or the SM435 both 4sp's. The SM435 has a first closley matching the T18's (the SM 420 has a 7:1 first!) There's...
