Today I came across an 1985 F250 ExtCab with a diesel. Im not sure which diesel it has yet. Ive seen both the I6 Cummins and a V8 were used. Anyway guy is asking 1200 for the truck and it is a 4x4 with automatic transmission. Anyone have any experience with the year and model? Mileage? If I do...

Im sure everyone knows about the yellow ribbons people have been putting on their cars thats says "Support the Troops".... Well around here they are hard to get.... Even some of the local radio stations have been advertising where to find them and they sale out rather fast.... Sooo... I finally...

Well I cant say I havent enjoyed the XJ. I have taken her offroad on a regular basis now. Drives more like a car then my past rigs. Still all stock. Here is whats going on. Before I bought my first jeep I owned Land Cruisers. Mostly stationwagons (FJ55/62). The main reasons why I went to an XJ...

My rig is 100% stock. Minus the stereo system. Today I had one of my customers come in. He was driving his vette and asked me if I knew anyone that wanted to buy a new Optima 78 series battery that had been sitting for a year. He said it was tested and was still solid as new. He got it for free...

My wife wants to move to Cheyenne Wyoming to go to school and live. Im not sold on this. Whats really there that we dont have here in Boise Idaho? Besides more snow in the winter and a few other obvious things that I dont care about.

I am already starting to collect items for the winter projects. Today I went to a salvage yard and asked if I could look around for hood vents... well all the turbo'd vehicles with hood vents or fender vents were stripped... no brainer there... but they just got in a nice looking 1980 280Z.... I...

Ive done many old school fixes in the past... but this is the first time I have ever tried this. Like many people Ive been fighting with my 1988 XJ's issues on over heating. I wouldnt even have the AC going and the dammed thing would overheat. I thought about getting a better radiator, Aux. Fan...

Ok maybe not a ton of money.... but I would like to get the best bang for my buck and am more into function over form..... so im not really into a bunch of flashy stuff... This has to do with replacing the receiver deck in my XJ. I just finished running new speaker wires to the front doors and...

I will buy your old HD OME springs. I know some folks must be ready to upgrade to a higher lift.... let me know when you are ready...

Ok maybe its not really an emergency. Then again that would depend on who reads this. We are selling our home and moving into a rental. Wife and I are both college students. I have found a home for rent that fits in our price range. Wife is going to turn the application in now with a personal...

I recently went out and purchased a set of Bazooka Marine 6.5 coaxials for about 30 bucks after tax. They are new from the floor display. Perfect shape. I installed them in the rear hatch. They sound great for a marine speaker. Now I am looking at another set. These are Bazooka Marine 8"...

1988 XJ 4.0 AW4: I did a search.... went by the book and the suggestions on this site for testing and adjusting the TPS. I have never tested this on a jeep... so either I am doing it right and the TPS is bad or I am doing it wrong... I used the flat plug and with the ignition key on (not...

Well I got off work early. Driving my 1988 XJ 4.0 AW4 all stock. New cap and rotor, plugs and wires. All is good there. Just replaced the water bottle cause it was leaking. Now thats happy. The engine was getting hot though. It did reach the red one time for a minute or two. Yesterday I pulled...

Well today I went ahead and thought I'd try some of the snake oil on the market. Bought a can of the Sea Foam and also 8oz bottle of Energy Release engine treatment. Started the 88 XJ 4.0 up and let it warm up. Then pulled the vacuum line from the brake booster and allowed it to suck the Sea...

I cant find anything on this company's products in the forums... anyone ever try the Energy Release from Lukas or any of their other products? http://www.buylucasoil.com/index.asp

Trying to make the square peg fit in the round hole. The engine fits length and width wise. The issue I am looking at is that this engine is a front sump and the oil pump sits to low in the pan to modify. I am unable to relocate or modify the oil pan. What I have in front of me is a factory 1988...
