I'd have to agree. Change that battery. No matter how you look at it, a black post means bad things are going on. Change it before it gets worse. Maybe the PO still has the receipt and you can get an exchange.

 

Just did this a few weeks ago. You need a large (I used 18" long) 1/2" drive breaker bar, and a good 21mm deep socket (impact sockets work best). Impact wrench will not help you much here (they are torqued very high + rust). I backed my bolts out a little at a time. Whenever the bolt would start to squeal I worked it back and forth (in and out) to clear the threads of rust, then proceeded further. Using this method I managed to get them out intact without having the bushing sleeve get stuck on the bolt.


As far as what you saw at the JY that's an overload leaf. They are usually quite thick and nearly flat - the point being that when a really heavy load was put on the leafs the overload keeps them from inverting. They are VERY stiff springs basically.

 

So i was out on some trails this weekend and i came up to some water that came up to the bumper. When i went in my auto tranny started to slip and got to the point where it would supply power to the tires even if i had it floored and i had to get winched out. When i got out of the water it ran fine. Has anybody have this problem before?

 

So I've looked everywhere and kind find any info on my problem. I've got a 94 cherokee with a leak at the input shaft on the steering box. Just curious if it's something I can replace while the box is still in? Or do I have to pull the box and tear it apart. Any info would be helpful! Thanks a lot.

 

you need to tear it apart. Best option is to replace the whole box though like I did.

Hey Dukie564! One question. What HAVEN'T you done to your ride? I'd be willing to bet it's a short list (if there is one).

 

mmmm lift it?

 

how do i tell which size rear brake shoes i need without tearing the tires and rims and drums off? i have a 87 laredo with the dana 44 trac lock

 

if you have ribs along the edge of the outside of the brake drum, you have the 10 1/2" brakes. If it's smooth, you have 9 1/2".

 

ahh perfect thx once again dukie u saved me time and sweat

 

I have a 85 larado and am looking for a part that the parts store said is discontinued. The tuneup label under the hood calls it a sole-vac vacuum actuator. This is where you adjust the idle. Can you tell me where I can get one or one I can make work. Thanks Dan

 

need more information. Carb or TBI? Can you snap a photo of where it's located?

 

Its carb and I need the kid to help me snap a pic because im not that good on this thing. But I have been in maint for 25 years.

 

Sorry for the double post, I can't figure out how to delete posts once they've been posted.. Anyhow.. I took a picture of 1-24 in the Jeep service manual where the part is located.. Have a look at the page, it should give you an idea of where it is until I can get you a real picture sometime soon.

 

Here's another question, and my apologies to anyone I might be hijacking.

My drivers seat is broken, with the bad leaning problem that i believe is a common occurrence. Can I switch my driver and passenger seat? I know the mount to the floor will not trade over, but what about the seat itself? this is a 92, and despite my searching I can't find anything. Thanks again guys.

Also, as far as my overheating problem is concerned, I'm probably not going to pull the thermostat. I did a quick search that showed the Stant Superstat doesn't have burping holes, so pulling the thermostat would not fix anything. I'll worry when it overheats with 50/50. At least now I have a working temp sending unit.
