my dad has a completely stock 96 country that i drive every once in a while. never said it was the same power wise. i am a chrysler tech so i deal with jeeps on a day to day basis. pretty sure my cherokee could out run a jk with 33s (not that it matters but makes a fare comparison). not saying...

4" front and 4.5" rear on 33x12.5 with 4.5" backspacing. i had to do some trimming but not alot. i get the feeling though that when i eventually redo my suspension there will be more to cut but for now it works fine without any rub accept at full lock on the control arms. i do like how the...

well i have seen these 4 liters have the rear cam plug back out and cause a drop in oil pressure (thats worse case senario). other possibility is wiring. best thing to do is figure out how to get it to act up constantly and then install a pressure gauge with a long hose on it and drive it and...

You are correct sir. the 4500 and 5500 do have urea injection but the 3500 and below do not. i think it has something to do with being california low emissions idle certification thingy.

woops, my bad. missed the fixed lowers part. i dont really see how putting the adjustable lowers on and adjusting for proper caster is going to push it forward that far. but you arent going to do it so, i guess you are screwed! time for a 3 link!

i would go motorcraft. and i dont envy you in the least bit! i always cringed when i got a repair order for doing plugs on a 5.4 and the vans are just as bad as the trucks!

i run them in the rear of mine and im at 4.5". the fronts are good for 3" max and at that you will have very little down travel. i tried the fronts and ended up buying front shocks to fit my 4" lift.

well if im not mistaken, you need more positive caster (7.5 degrees i think is spec). in which case all you need to do is lengthen your lower arms to get that.

honestly sounds to me like the complete engine wasnt built correctly. possible ring issues causing the oil loss mystery/soot in collector. possible head issues for overheating or a partial blockage in a cooling passage way in the block.

just pull the hvac housing and split the case. you are just gonna give yourself a headache trying to figure out what codes are real. ive found when it comes to wj's just pull it apart and see what doors are broken and then replace them. actuators dont usually go out. just my 2 cents

i can weld so the actual doing part isnt a problem and getting the angles right is a non issue doing wise. i understand the parallel track bar and drag link but ive heard that you can still get bumpsteer even if they are parallel due to the track bar being significantly shorter than the drag...

so i've been thinking about what to do with my steering setup lately and i cant really come to a decision. i searched to see if i could find a thread like this but couldnt so here goes. which of the above is the best? i have read and understand the different setups but out of real world...

im with the oil pressure sender theory. another possible ive seen is a bad o2 sensor (i believe there is only one on that car). if shorted it will cause it to run poorly or die when the vehicle warms up enough to go to closed loop

no urea injection on the dodge, yet another advantage. you can only get a hemi or a diesel in the 3/4-1 tons. wouldnt get a hemi if you tow all the time since they will get 10 mpg pulling a heavy load. and you can only get real lockers in the power wagon which is not offered with a diesel, the...

glad its fixed. quick thing though. a 45 is not the same as a 545rfe. not even close

its actually very rare to see any strip model rams, most of them have normal accesories. most contractors and loggers like nice trucks since they spend most their time in the truck. since the op was talking of getting a new truck, then the transmission being a weak thing is a moot point due to...

i forgot to mention, if you do a emissions system delete (popular in emissions free oregon) everything is better. get easily 50 hp and we have been seeing these trucks get 17-19 mpg. dont see a duramax or ford doing that. oh and a 6.7 cummins is easy to work on. you can touch pretty much...

well, read reviews all you want. and like before mentioned, believe what you want. i can believe the old 48re(behind the 5.9) going, we still get them in. but as of yet the new 68re has not had issues and thats been 4 years of production. i dont care how smooth your engine is, when it comes down...

i would have to disagree with the allison transmission theory. i am a chrysler tech and the transmission behind the 6.7 is very stout. we NEVER see them come in with issues and we have had some come in with 300k on them! as far as ride goes, the chevy had better win, its got ifs! no solid axle...

sure can, i scored a used skyjacker 3" kit for the front so its got the track bar relocation bracket (will probly get a real track bar eventually but its worked good so far), 3" front coils, and lower control arms. i bought true 1" spacers from crawlerready.com to get the full 4" lift. and am...
