i uses leaf packs out of the back of a chevy astro van. can't remember what year it was, but some idiot at our shop sold the customer leafs because he told them it was sagging(looked exactly the same after). I cut the eyes on the main leafs and used the astro leafs with just the main off the xj...

the noise happens in both 4lo and 4hi so it is not a linkage issue. we put it on the lift at work and the front tires needed to have press put on them with pry bars to make it happen. and it was definatly coming from the t case. i have read that it is common for the chain to stretch. which i...

i have a 95 xj with the 231 transfer case. last time on the trails i put it in 4wd and the case started making a loud clunk like the chain is skipping. i wasn't stuck, i had just put in in 4wd to try to pull out my buddies truck and heard the noise before the strap even got tight. put it in the...

i have worked on a few vehicles with that same problem. they were all the valves inside the steering box/rack(depending on the type of steering). basically what is happening is when you turn the steering wheel, it opens a valve inside the box allowing the fluid to flow in that direction and...

why can't you just put the brackets on the outside of the bumper mount. basically sandwiching the bumper mount instead of the tie in bracket. you would have to put spacers on the other holes and possibly longer bolts depending if jcr gives you extra length on the bolts or not. i don't see why it...

that was not an xj. it was actually a lamborghini LM002. They were made from 1986 till 1993 and they only produced 301 over that time period.

there is a commanche on youtube that has the 4bt cummins in it. i believe there are some specs on his account and you can contact him through his youtube account. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyS9A3jbwLM&feature=PlayList&p=3278E62F5E585A9D&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4

i've got the rusty's 3.5 leafs and have been happy with them so far. i have only been running them for a year so i can't say on the longevity. if you have a big enough budget i would recommend re. any other spring you will get people saying they are no good and some that have had no problems...

There could very easily be more vette motors than vettes. Yes, they only made so many vettes, but you still can walk into any gm dealership and order a factory motor for and year vette. And with alot of vette owners, if they have a problem in the motor, rather than fix a wrist pin, piston, or...

I agree. It sounds as though they only replaced the carrier bearings. When a bearing starts to make noise then it has started to shave metal off of itself. When this happens the metal gets into other bearings and starts to wear on them too. Sounds like they just looked for bearings with pits in...

It is not total B.S. I have been an ase certified tech for about 10 years now and have been working in a GM shop for 7 of those years. In that time I have either done or seen at least 1,000 trans flushes or filter changes. Out of those I have seen 2 start slipping. Also, 1 wouldn't even move out...

It can happen to cause it to slip. The dirt and debris that gets into the fluid can cause excessive wear and gaps that when you replace the fluid, the thinner fluid does not take up the gap. But it is very rare that changing the fluid will cause it to slip. I have changed many trans fluids that...

i tried and am not getting any about their pumps, just steering boxes. from my searches and what i have read, i guess nobody runs their pumps. either that the ones that do just rather tell you to do what you have already tried.

Does anybody run the AGR power steering pump? I have tried searching and am coming up with nothing for their pumps. Was wondering if they have any problems or not worth the money. I am currently running 31s and plan on going bigger in the future but it may be a while.

it was only 2wd with slicks. he would not have been able to do a brake stand in the burnout box if it was 4wd
