Obligatory

 

hi everyone, im portuguese so i will trie make me undestand, im changing my steering column and ofcorse i removed the ignicion of the column just to see how woarks, so i removed it and i put again in the place however now i have the key ligth on and of and the jeep doesnt recognize my key because i start the engine and 5 seconds than he dies...what did i did wrong and how can i fix this, anyone knows? thankyou

 

Did you disconnect the battery before you worked on it? Maybe disconnect the battery and connect it after 1 hour?

 

How the heck do I remove these studs?

 

You don't. It's welded to the fender

 

That's for clarifying. I know the story but the pics work great with beach stories lol. It does suck though what happened

 

Faaaaantastic. I broke all 4.

Should I drill them out, and then tack new ones in place?

 

If that will work, then I don't see why not

 

I guess I'll give that a try. This is going to suck

 

Okay drilled the bolts out, and just used tapcon's. Its all I had in that size on hand. Works great though.

 

What is the maintenance interval of a drain and fill for trans fluid? Should I drop the pan if its never been serviced and inspect it and replace the filter/strainer?

When dropping an oil pan, what are a few things one would want to look at or look for? Is there a torque sequence or torque lbs rating for the pan bolts?

 

Doesn't exist from the factory, as far as I know. Wouldn't make any sense.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't of thought so, but wasn't sure what was being said. The Heep you see at the left was an '88 Limited, 4.0, auto, 242, D30 hp, D35, 3:55, with tow pkg. Yes I'm certain as the 7 pin receptacle was wired from the factory. It had a simple one loop/finned Trans cooler and rear sway bar. Since I didn't get it until later in its life I can't be certain about skids, this one had the tank skid but no others. It is possible that it had a Tcase skid that someone did not put back on. (??? someone worked on the Tcase, a 242 that had a 231 tag on it) It also had some strange helper spring outfit, which was a one sided affair that slipped between the leaf pack and the plate, it arched up about 2" above the main spring and was coupled to the main and second spring by a cradle that slung under.

Otherwise, say goodbye to your rig.[/QUOTE]

That's pretty cool that you can drive it home after a day of SCUBA with it, this '88 we drove home after a day of gymnastics doing a cartwheel!

 

I believe there is some misunderstanding..
