Quadratec to the rescue lol. New shackles and sway bar links.

 

They're not OEM, but maybe a little black spray paint will make them match the Jeep better

 

What rear axle is under this thing ? Is it the 35 or 44 ?

 

I bet my left nut and a nickel it's not a 35

 

I know they offered Dana 44 87-90 jeeps. Not sure if they offered it pre 87 though

 

Just checked it. 99.9% sure it's a turdy5. And yes I have a d44 and c8.25 to compare it to.

How much shipped for left nut and nickel?

 

well, this is awkward.

 

Lmao!

 

Bahahahahaaaa!

 

Got the fuel tank out. Seems like the fuel starvation issue around half a tank is slightly more complicated... As bad as the filter looks, there isn't much resistance when suction is applied to it.

The current working theory is that the low pressure fuel pump is weak and when the tank is full, there is positive pressure pushing the fuel up to the pump. But when it gets lower, suction is required and the low pressure pump isn't capable of doing that.

So.... We're gunna get a new filter and a low pressure external electric fuel pump to put right rear the fuel tank. This should theoretically allow it to run past 1/2ish tank.

 

Okay... Tank back in. Removed the in-tank fuel filter and hose. Replaced with a piece of copper pipe set about 1/2" above the bottom of the tank. Also replaced the fuel filter under the hood. Going to take Jeep on a test drive to see if it still starves for fuel. Idles and revs fine in driveway. If it starves, we'll put the electric fuel pump in. If it doesn't starve/die then..... Either assume problem was in the in-tank GASOLINE filter and/or fuel filter under hood OR drive it until there is another fuel issue... Lol

 

Test drive successful. Issue seems to be resolved. Electric fuel pump not required. So far so good. Lol

Tomorrow's project is to tackle the lift. -.-

 

Man you're awesome.

 

Just bought this for it. A little spendy, but cool and worth it to have a tach.

 

And so it begins.... Starting off in the front by replacing the rotors and pads with centric premium rotors and centric semi-metallic pads. Hopefully this will make it stop better. Old stuff had an almost glass-like feel/surface.

Front suspension is next.
