got a used starter from a 98 from a person at work
spent 2 almost 3 hours trying to thread the top bolt before taking it out and
realizing that the threads in the hole were stripped....BUT
since i had already converted the clip connector to the o ring like the pre 98s
i was able to buy a new starter for 65$ instead of 140$ and i got it on in less than 10 mins lol! i also cant wait to get a lift cuz if my ***** had been bigger i never would have gotten under there lol
how dumb is that just because the connector is different its 80$ more NO THANKS!

So took the old 89 out for a ride today and didn't even touch the NSS and drove great for about 5-6 miles then same thing happened lost power to the axle and stopped reprimmed the motor and started kinda rough but once it started ran like a champ again. So I was wondering could re problem be fuel injectors not giving the motor enough gas? If not what could it be? Like I said ran great then while it was moving all of a sudden it was like the tranny was in neutral so I am at a loss right now of what it could be please help me I am about ready to just junk this thing because its just one thin after another.

So my 89 Wagoneer 4x4 inline six is having a problem with staying in gear when I am driving I will go down the road and all of a sudden there is nothing like its in neutral could the problem be the injectors in it? Or what I am at a loss and don't know what to do
