I bet that 6speed is still pretty good with 3.55's and 33's! I loved my AX-15, 31's, and 3.55's.

The best upgrade you can make to fuel economy is the driver. Get an OBDII scanner with real time instant/average fuel economy and an analog vacuum gauge. Even if it isn't 100% accurate on what your actual MPG is it is a useful tool in figuring out what helps and hurts fuel economy. Find your...

I made this an hour before driving 36 hours from Southern Ontario to Central Alberta. Took about 15 minutes using scrap steel left and 2 21mm head nut and bolts left over from replacing the front control arm bushings on my sisters Cobalt. One 2x6 strip of half inch steel welded horizontally with...

RUFFSTUFF!

MIL spec tires.

Awesome! 7.3? Didn't someone else start one of these projects with an identical ex uhaul?

I too am a truck driver. The problem most people have with backing is they oversteer. Don't turn the steering wheel more than a few degrees at a time especially when correcting. If straight is 12 o'clock dont't turn the wheel more than 1-2 or 11-10 o'clock. If you need more steering angle than...

Put the camera on the dodge next time! I want to see a jeep! :)

I built relocation boxes like the typical ones everyone else has. I'm considering going down in height to 3.5 from 5.5 by doing a new shackle box that mounts the shackle higher up like stock but further ahead to keep my shackle angle on my +2 shackles. I hate looking at them hanging out like...

The Dana 44 and 8.25 are very close in pinion length. Both are around 1 inch longer than a Dana 35 and ford 8.8

http://www.links4jeeps.com/writeups/231sye/2.php Don't bother with the built in search engine. Use google to search a specific site like so. If you want to search for Header installation on naxja.org you type "Header installation site:naxja.org" Without the quotes in the google search bar. Or...

Do some temperature logging on the left and right side, front and rear of the transmission to see if the exhaust is actually putting heat into the transmission or if it is simply an airflow issue.

There goes any idea of a L67 with an M90 on top... Unless you get an Aussie version from a holden.

I had a 1999 $400 Bonneville SSEi (L67) with just an intake I found in a dumpster and a sheet of aluminum I found in the trunk used as a heatshield to cover the exhaust cross over. Ran 14.9 in the 1/4 and put down 209whp and 278 ft lbs. Yes the dyno runs cost 1/8th the cost of the car...then...
