Could I use dana 44's out of an 87 waggy under a 98xj??

Defenitely check your u-joint at the rear diff first. I like to unbolt the shaft, drop it down and pop the two caps off and inspect. I would not rule out a tire noise either. They take time to become noisey, but when they do they sound like a wheel bearing. Try rotating your tires front to back...

9 times out of 10 it is a defective sender either electrically or leaking oil through the body of the sender.

Take a fuel pressure reading at the rail with a gauge! You can't go any further till you know if you have fuel getting to the injectors and if it is enough pressure to open the injectors. You obviously have good power and ground to the pump because you hear it running. Don't worry too much about...

What's up Oragnge crush. I live on eastern long island, too! What trails in the pine barrens? Pine Barrens on Long Island or New Jersey? I am up for a run if your talking about Long Island Pine Barrens.

Take the driveshaft out then test drive.

One time my transmission was slightly overfilled by about a 1/2 quart and on a long road trip ( with ample cargo) it spit fluid out of the dipstick tube when the unit got hot (i.e. steep uphills or passing). It happened about three times on the 5 hour trip and smoked like a bitch for a minute...

If you have 3.73 gears you will be alright. Will taller gears be better, yes, but it won't be bad at all if you have 3.73's. Rubicon Express makes a great product but have become sooo TRENDY that there prices have gone through the roof!! I remember when they were in there early years, you...

You live in Greene huh. That is excellent. I know a ton of trails about 5 minutes outside of greene. Let's keep in touch and we will have to get together for some wheelin and a couple of beers next time I am up. I would like to get up before memorial day weekend but I don't know if my...

Better yet, try to pull the #85 wire out of the ecu connector then with the ecu connector plugged back in and the ign switch on, take your resistance reads. Probing through the connector to hit the prong then have the other lead on the neg of the battery. This way the ECU is being commanded to...

Disconnect the connector to the ECU. Probe the prong on the ECU that the #85 wire plugs into with one end of your ohm meter. Then take the other end of the ohm meter and hold it to the negative battery terminal. What is your resistance?

You obviously have a resistance on your ground path. It can be in the wire itself, connectors, ground locations or ecu. Does that 85 wire ground through the ECU? I have opened up many an ECU to find water intrusion and corrosion. Try to take it apart and inspect the board. I don't have a...

Hey gabe4, I lived up in Cortland for a couple of years then Endicott and I still go back a few times a year to do some wheelin. I have a good buddy that lives in Willet and he wheels with us when we come up. If your interested in doing some wheelin' let me know. We will be up on memorial day...

Cool. Set your caster and you should be in the clear.

Had that lift a few years ago. I never had any vibes or strength issues and I wheel hard and frequently. I would drop the t-case first if you feel some vibes. Shimming the axle should be a last resort. The more you shim an axle the less oil the outer most pinion bearing gets. I run a 5.5"...

How do you like the rusty's lift? I just ordered some springs from them. Here is a local organization www.ec4wda.org . They have a Long Island chapter that goes on alot of out of town runs. They meet the first tues. of every month @ Papa Joe's pizza place in Deer Park if I remember correctly.

That is a caster issue. Set it to factory specs. A steering stabilzer won't make it go away, it will dampen it a little. How many miles are on the tires? Did they wear incorrectly? Have they started to chop up? Run your hand over the tread. Does it feel choppy or does it taper inward or...

Where in lower NY are you and where are you interested in going, local or road trip. I live on long island and have a crew of old friends that make local runs every now and then. We also make a handfull of trips upstate and are planning some Paragon/ Rausch Creek runs.
