With that old 22r motor it will be a 6 hour job up to a weekend if first time, you dont need to mill/rebuild the head unless its warped. It doesnt get any easier than doing a head on a I4 RWD vehicle.

I see you live in Marion, I live a couple miles east of the marion airport. Wherd you swamp it,is 600 acres still open? Id go ahead and do another fluid swap after a week or so. You need to address the moisture issue, if your carpet got wet youll need to pull it.

I love the 242, I rarely used the part time 4wd. Whether its actually better depends on what you are doing with it, generally the 231 is better when it comes to off-road modified vehicles. You can run in part time at any speed especially if its in a straight line.

Id see if you can find a 80's fullsize bronco for a plow rig, they are short, heavy, and tough plus they have plenty of power.

Nissan used a divorced t-case on the 80's pickup trucks, ford used a divorced case on the 70's highboys too. I think that the ford cases were 205's but dont quote me on it.

Saw that jeep in person this weekend. Russ is a friend of the family. Its a really clean job. He has some body rust issues to resolve. He admitted that the diesel doesnt have any more power than the 4.2 but the MPG gains are remarkable. I think he needs to get a better intake, currently has a...

Not even close to legal, the amount of noise they put out would probably be the main concern. I sure wouldnt want to ride inside of the vehicle.

Someone at starbucks asked me if I wanted my coffee with "room". I had no idea what she was talking about. Youd think she would have noticed I was wearing work boots, blue jeans, and a cap before trying to talk jive to me.

Price, tread design, treadwear, load rating, brand. Details on your rig would determine recommended tire size. I suspect 32's would be the better bet.

Until the machines start self-replicating and self-maintaining I dont think we as humans have much to worry about.

Id do several drain and fills and leave the filter alone. Itll be about as good as a flush and remove most of the old fluid (by dillution). Drain/fill then drive it awhile. You wont get much fluid out just by doing the drain and fill once. My understanding is that the filters dont get clogged or...

Use with caution, they like to snap. If I were you I wouldnt use it for anything heavier than a riding lawnmower.

Get 'em anywhere. They are all the same power, 4watts if I recall. A good antenna is key in having a good radio setup.

High compression might cause issues with the sealing surfaces too.
