99 xj, 4.0l, ax-15, d30 front, some kind of late 80's d44 from another cherokee. I've read a bunch of write ups on the ins and outs. My ABS hasn't worked in years since I swapped in an old dana 44. I'd like some extra room in the engine compartment for future activities. From what I've seen...

[SOLVED] After fixing the initial problem of no spark with CPS I didn't notice that the injectors were junked up. The cranking sound was exactly the same. I cleaned out the old fuel and pulled the injectors and sprayed them out with brake cleaner. Back to running. Still running a little rough...

I had a helper for a little bit so I did some more testing. I have fixed something now because the PCM is actually sending a spark signal into the coil. Still not starting but my test light is lighting up at the coil signal connector. The coil is new but I'll look up the test procedure for the...

Alright, Some updates! I picked up a Noid Test Light kit and I'm getting injector pulses. I'm measuring 45psi at the rail with a bosch 044 fuel pump so I am confident that I have good fuel. That should indicate that the PCM is seeing the output from the Cam Sensor correctly since it is pulsing...

I should add that I checked and cleaned the battery and block grounds as well as the misc grounds that are around the engine for all the random harness connections. All the fuses verify with a multimeter. The coil is also new because the old one was testing at the limits. I'm trying to figure...

99 xj, 4.0l, ax-15, 49-state SE I parked the jeep in 2015 or so and I haven't ran the engine since. I pulled the battery at that time. Fuel pump went bad so I decided that it made sense to switch to a jaz fuel cell and return style fuel rail with all AN fittings. That project became a bigger...

I've pulled 16k trailers with the 8.1 and the only problem was stopping! The trailer brakes sucked and were not up to the task. Otherwise a solid motor. I am a duramax owner and I love towing with it because I get 16mpg pulling the jeep and it has a turbine brake which really makes a big...

Gpn is my call on df. I've seen you around. Right on.

Re: Re: What are you towing with? Nice ride. Spend any time on duramaxforum? I've got an lbz with efi from rob. Love my pickup. Here is my baby. And yes that is a 3/4 ton Cummins on the trailer.

Why not just stitch? A stitch weld has less HAZ. A big long continuous weld, even if you let it completely cool between each small weld, will have a continuous HAZ. How is that a good thing? The artec truss connection to the tube is essentially a stitch because of the gaps. So no worries there.

WTF is going at team NAXJA?!

If you are early riser then mesa arch at sunrise at island in the sky is really neat. Bring a thermos of coffee and a couple chairs.

Everyone keeps mentioning prodigy controllers... get one! They are awesome and can really help with trailer control. Also brakes on both axles is nice but properly functioning brakes on one axle will work fine. If you can get something with torsion axles like dexter tor-flex's then you will be...

I wouldn't worry about the extra weight or the weight distributing hitch. A balanced load will go a long ways. An 18' trailer is a good length if you are just going to pull the jeep. Follow the tow vehicle specs. Don't exceed tongue weight rating. Having a scale to weigh things is handy. Get a...

Fwiw, pg can't be too bad for you. Most MRE menus items have it included somehow... :-)
