I'd stay where your at and put the 33s on, but rubicon express super flex adjustables are right around 200 bucks.

You've got to do a hack n' tap for the 242 unless they've came out with one in the last little while.

Did '93 have a fuel check valve? That went bad in my '01, and I had to prime it three times in ACC position to get it to start.

No. Its just once you go full synthetic you really shouldnt go back to dino without doing a flush of the oil with kerosine or the like. Dino and synthetic dont like to mix together well. However, theres been plenty of people say to the otherwise.

I like full synthetic better, seems to stay cleaner between oil changes.

First thing i think of is the pump is starting to seize or your injectors are clogging.

Previous owner bypassed the heater core in my 88 xj.

I was wondering if theres a way to test it for leaks so i can reconnect it and have heat. Any ideas?

Hook it up, see if it leaks. It's case scenario you get wet carpet. If its bypassed there is like a 99.999 percent chance it leaks. Nobody likes to be cold.

If it's bypassed you can be fairly certain it's shot. Just plan on replacing it.
