    Pay it forward

    Well, I don't know Jimmy and so mean no disrespect here, and really don't care who would want to pick it up..I gotta say, giving a machine shop a pair of flat tops so that they could be machined and sold,,,,really doesn't quite meet the spirit of paying it forward to me. I would much rather see...

    Jeep death wobble

    Well, Since no one else threw it out there, I will. Anybody ever heard of the Ackerman angle???? It is a specific relationship concerning the center point of your tread to the center of the tie rod ends. Obviously this changes when most of us put aftermarket wheels on our rigs. I run full size...

    Driveline help, Where to go?

    Your double cardan joint is worn out. Some folks call them constant velocity joints in error. Anyway, normally you van just replace the bearing(30-40 clams) but if it was that dry, odds are that it wore down the nose, requiring the yoke to be replaced. Any competent dshaft shop can do this. YOU...

    AMC 401 oil leak

    You probably know this but...you do realize theat the rear main cap only holds one half of the rear main seal, correct? Most of the time with these engines it is the upper half which leaks. Also much of the time the rear main has been damaged by the thrust bearing going out. Other than that I...

    Bully Dog downloader

    Well, I don't believe everyone's driving habits are the same. I drive between Cheyenne and GR regularly and have never gotten better than 16mpg going west. I got 18 the other day at 80mph into the wind. I did a little 90 mi trip two days ago and got 19.5 at 80mph w/ no wind. I was averaging 17...

    Bully Dog downloader

    Just added a Bully Dog power pup downloader to my 05 CTD. Anyone have experience with this set up? Downloaded the 90+ hp gain and was suitably impressed with the performance. Didn't much care for how the temp guage bounced up so hard under full boost but I guess that's to be expected. Should...

    12 Valve or 24 Valve

    I have owned two 24's and have loved them, particularly my 05. gobs of torque. However, all of the old school diesel guys I know say that if you are going to mod the heck out of one, then the 12v is the best engine for it. More reliable and inherently stronger.. j20 project
