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.

Bought a new exhaust manifold today with the flex joints in it, only paid $120 at my work. Gonna be a PITA to install this thing.

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.

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. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoWelshPlugs1.htm

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

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/

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.

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
