Tight. I hit 'em with air and then crank on 'em. Don't know if that's proper, but I haven't had any problems, and you aren't gonna break it like that.

By chance fo you have that write up?

I am thinking fuel filter?

2. I just installed a set of RC adjustable lca's. I cranked the bolts that attached the arms to axle and frame with impact. Experiencing some popping noises. Any suggestions?
Changed the fuel filter. Nothing new. Here is a link to a YouTube video so you can hear it.

That's what I thought, that's why I asked.. definitely isn't heat soak. When it ran it ran smooth, never rough or misfiring

Any other ideas anybody? It wasn't running rough or misfiring or anything before or after

wouldnt be tps, like i said, it runs and drives perfectly

no driving issues at all. like i said, its purely random. i'm gonna throw a cps at it first since they're so temperamental and it's never been replaced (that i know of)

Found a guy parting out jeeps about 50ish miles away. He has a dana 44, cherokee model im assuming, already geared to 4.88 which is what im lookin for down the road. Hes asking $300. Sound like a good deal or atleast worth looking into? Who knows what condition its in though.
