Thank you for all of your help. I will continue down the list and see what is next.

 

Which spark plugs do you recommend?

thank you. I appreciate all of the help you have given me. The next thing I have on my list is new steering knuckles, calipers, ball joints. I got it with massive scarring from the brake pads. The brake pads will get stuck in place

 

Sorry to keep asking questions but I truly value your opinion on the subject. Which brand intake/exhaust manifold gasket do you recommend. And do you recommend anything with install? I was advised to use copper paste

 

Felpro. Dry.

 

I recently had my head surfaced and when I reinstalled everything I ended up with the leak at #1 on the exhaust/intake.

 

So, you're doing this job over?

 

Yes sir.

iso t know what I could of down wrong. I torqued it to spec in the necessary pattern and re torqued down the line. I continue to find myself doing things twice. Something I am currently trying to overcome.

 

Next time, after torqueing it to factory spec, go around once again in the correct pattern and give em all some more pull, without the torque wrench.

 

Thank you. I just spent $650 on steering knuckles, calipers and ball joints. I currently have the Dana 30 high pinion. Was it a smart move to go stock? Or could that money have been spent better one aftermarket upgrade? (Grand Cherokee spindle?)

 

You done good.

 

I think it may be time for a new cat after running so lean for three years. It sounds like the elusive lost ten millimeter socket is knocking around it there. Definitely sounds like the packing is loose.

 

Thank you cruiser

my name is Jeremy Morton, I wanted to introduce myself and say thank you for the help. I pulled my trailer with a 2600lb ditch witch sk650 on it the other day. The damn Jeep pulled it with no issues. That means a lot to me. I still do t know your name so I will leave it at THANK YOU CRUISER!!!

 

Pete. Happy Fathers day by the way!
