I have the aw4 manual it's from ATSG. Not sure where I found it anymore. But it states the valve body needs to be removed. Then the park rod needs to be removed. Then you'll have access to the manual valve. It says a spacer sleeve needs to be removed with a chisel. Then with a punch a pin...

To do it without a spreader, just put the carrier in the freezer for a few hours to shrink it and put your axle in a hot location like outside in the sun to expand the housing. And it will slid right in when you install it. Put a lot of gear oil everywhere because lots of condensation will...

It sounds like you're a tooth off. At top dead center the rotor should have just past the #1 position. Because it fires the spark plug well before top dead center.

If it's not stable, maybe you can put in a beefier swaybar.

Harbor Freight sells a gauge set. They work fine for me. To me it sounds the compressor is cycling because the pressure does not stay constant. On a hot day it should stay around 30-35 psi. If the freon is low then the compressor will keep pulling the low side pressure down until the low...

I was referring to the speed sensor on the transmission. Not the one for the speedometer

There could be a problem with your speed sensor on the transmission. If it's defective maybe it defaults to early shifting.

You're still low on refrigerant. It should read 35 when the compressor is running. 10 is too low. It would be better if you used an ac manifold gauge set. To see the high pressure reading. Was it completely out of refrigerant? Hopefully there's no air in the system because you need to put a...

I'm just throwing this out there. Make sure you really make sure the nuts that hold the trans adapter to the transfercase are super tight. I had a bad experience with my dodge cummins which has New Process transfercase. Whoever redid the transmission didn't tighten the transfercase to the...

If you have an aftermarket cam, you need to index the distributor by grinding the tabs so that you can adjust it properly. If you haven't done this, see if you can search the procedure.

Definitely check your MAP sensor vacuum line. And check the fuel pressure regulator for a broken diaphragm, it could be leaking fuel into the vacuum line. Also check your O2 sensor and see if the voltage is fluctuating between 1-5 volts and not pegged on one side of the spectrum. Can't...

If I shim the axle, than the alignment will be off, but maybe we should try anyways and see how it drives. The castor angle is only a few degrees at the moment, it will only make it worse.

I've been helping a friend do a spring over on his CJ scrambler and installing full width axles. The problem is now the front driveshaft angle is very extreme because the pinion on this front axle is pointing too low. I'm not interested in cutting the tubes of the axle and rotating the housing...

To swap the rear portion, how have to also completely disassemble the transmission to switch the output shafts as they are not the same. Keep searching for a 2wd trans.

According to the xj service manual, it states Ring number 1 and 2 should have a gap of .010"-.020" and ring number 3 should have a gap of .010"-.025"
