started putting the parts jeep back together. organized some stuff. painted some stuff. aquired some JCR rock sliders

 

put brand new $150 from jeep both trans cooler hardlines..what a pain.
quick tools didnt work they were so corroded. hacksaw....

 

Got mine off of summit for like $30 a piece. Free shipping.
No quick tools don't work. If I have to deal with trans lines again I want to adapt the trans side to a barb fitting and run soft line the whole way.

Going to work on my 91 today. Its nice out. We'll see what I get done.

 

Check the row of freeze/welsh plugs under the exhaust manifold before starting. If any are weeping it's a good time to replace the whole row since the manifolds have to come off.

Bored on my day off so im changing the front diff fluids and painting the cover to clean it up. Did the rear last week. Fluid looks good but new fluid cant hurt.

Also checking play in front suspension for worn parts because I have slop when going over bumps or curbs. Already have brand new Lca's to go in when the time is right.

 

Thanks for that man! Will do

 

Replaced my snorkel for a cowl snorkel. Looks funny all chrome in a muddy engine bay. Also finally had a place for a washer tank. Haven't had one since December

 

Mine is dirty and it still looks out of place. I've been thinking about painting it.

 

That's one thing I don't like about it is the chrome but whatever no one sees it

 

About ready to shoot my jeep... Piece of crap still isnt running properly. Engine shakes, pistons misfire, had injectors cleaned and head job done 2 months ago... never fails, my vehicles are always pieces of *****. Anyway, might just go trade her in for a Dodge. Sick of this crap!!


Ok so I have had an ongoing problem:
Engine Shakes. Gets up to 3000 rpms wont go any further, needle bobs up and down... run for a little longer trying to gain speed past 50 and it clears out. Runs fine.
I have had the injection system cleaned 3 times in the last 3 years. Just had a valve and head job done two months ago. Problem started back up... Same old bull.
What should I do?????? Please help.

More about this problem can be read on the ongoing thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/eng...s-help-191768/

 

That's like swapping a turd for another turd.
Did you follow the Haynes manual for spark plug wires? It's wrong. Does the misfire come and go?
Start diagnosing. Swap injectors of misfire cylinders to non-misfiring cylinders.

 

Do you have a thread going?

You expect a Dodge to run well? lol

 

Had to take my bumper off and send it back to dirtbound. Sunday I had to winch a buddies f150 out and it bent my bumper pretty bad. Hopefully they'll take care of it

 

tried to get the ol girl running again


I failed...
oh well, tomorrows my day off too...

 

No thread for my problems. I just dont know what to do any more. I cant stand taking it in to the mechanics anymore. Rip me off every time and they dont fix anything.
