Comes down to this.

Still trying to think of the next plan of action. Either find another pre96 242 thats in good shape (which isn't easy...) or swap the main shafts between the two. Thinking swapping shafts.

Yep. Sucks. Was excited to finally have a reliable Jeep again and drive it some more. I miss driving it. But instead I get to tow it home in a little bit and wait until I have time to do the shaft swap. Bah humbug!!!

Compression tested mine last night. All the cylinders were in the 130s except #5 was 118, 2 psi below most specs I found on

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
Do you have both cases out of the jeep right now? It really isn't too hard, to swap out the internals. It should only take you about an hour maybe two even with no experience at all. It is pretty straight forward. Heck I wish you lived closer to me you could bring it over to the shop, and we could knock it out in a couple hours.

Yeah they are both sitting on a table waiting to be worked on. Sometime next week hopefully. This will be the first time I've ever taken a tcase apart.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
I figured out the whistling noise my engine makes is from throttle body leaking.
I found a set of 4 TJ Moab wheels for $200. I really like the way they look but the tires for 16" wheels are a lot more expensive! Oh what to do.
Oh yeah, and I found out my condenser sprang a leak so no A/C for now. Off to the junk yard this weekend.

Is that ^ a good price for a set of Moab wheels?
I guess Crusher and I are the only people who works on our Jeeps anymore.

That heater core install is fun ain't it? I think if mine ever goes out I'm just going to cut a hole in the floorboard and plumb the exhaust in for heat. :laugh:
