My pump sounded like it was ready to grenade on my 87. Try swapping out the fluid a few times with some fresh stuff, its done wonders on 2 of mine with high mileage, no more noises etc.

Havent torn into anything newer, but the last couple F250 and Chevy K series trucks with auto hubs could be easily converted to locking hubs for less than $180. Just a thought.

Yes, you should be using a quality GL-5 80/90 or 75/85 type lube in the diffs. I wouldent use anything heavier unless towing heavy and in hot weather and thats questionable in a light cherokee. As mentioned GL-3 is free of compounds that eat up syncro rings or "yellow" parts. Generally speaking...

Courtwright is something like 8800 ft ele, isnt exactly gonna be warm there either this time of year. Time for a Honda 1000 watt gen and a electric blanket.

You should be able to use the correct size ID vac tubing to sleeve the broken spot. Ive have several repairs in my XJ like this but with tygon tubing. Heat shring dosent hold up well to kinks etc and wont retain the opening if bent much.

Why GL3 for a diff?

Theres literally dozens of very nice camp sites as well as wilderness spots right up at Shaver lake and better yet above, Courtwright,dinkey lakes,etc theres no end to the xlnt places and fishing to be had.

Freeze the flywheel, heat the ring gear and it drops on. Ive always used a good cold chisle and sledge hammer with a few heavy blows between the teeth and it pops apart then falls off.

Personally I dont think 3.73`s are low enough for what your doin, 4.11 sounds much better.

K&N filters are shunned in the diesel world as well as most every other place for a several reasons. First ,they DO NOT filter as well as a paper filter, The turbo rigs draw in enough air they`ve been known to collaps and destroy high dollar turbos,the oil residue from the gauze can get on the...

Ya might try looking up tail pipes etc at napa or something and see if they list the same part number. Sounds screwy maybe but the only time I was in Midas or ??? one of the big chain shops they never custom bend anything, it was always look up a part number in a catalog and grab the bend off...

Isnt it the syncros that suffered from the GL5`s sulphur? I put Redline in my AX15, as everybody swore by it for better cold shifting. It worked unreal the first time I shifted into 1st and then 2nd when cold, then it was the same as what ever came out originally at 48K miles. Still pretty...

Ya mean do a quick fire up and kill it and see which are wet? otherwise they all look clean after a quick run somewhere wich Ive tried.

As of the last few days when I fire up my 87 4.0 it acts like its not firing in one or more cylinders for the first few seconds of running,after a few seconds it clears up and runs fine. It seems the longer it sits as in a couple days the more noticable it is. Im thinking an injector(s) is...

Head gasket or crack in the head casting Be my $.02 worth. Ive seen hair line cracks only be a problem when the engines hot so a comp test or rad pressure test dosent always pan out.
