It has a comp cam (don't know what the specs are atm) Was told it is bored 40 over. Rebuilt in 99 sat for 6 years til I bought it. It ran fine when I had glass packs and headers. Got pulled over a few weeks ago and had to put real mufflers on it. I ended up getting Thrush turbo mufflers. Since I put them on it has been stuttering and popping out the exhaust. Last night it was running real bad. Like it was not firing on 4 cylinders. I pulled all the plugs and checked them. All looked good except #6 had alot of scale built up on it. It was still nice tan color like the rest. I figured I should do a compression check.
Here is what I got -
#1 165psi
#2 170psi
#3 120psi
#4 170psi
#5 110 psi
#6 170psi
#7 170psi
#8 175psi
Your thoughts are appreciated. I'm not sure why only 2 cylinders would be low like that. ]]> Chevy Tech Goat http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=156575 tj bikini top windjammer http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=156574&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:28:06 GMT i have a used jeep bikini top only covers the front seats looks good but needs to be washed. 50$ i have a used jeep bikini top only covers the front seats looks good but needs to be washed. 50$

new plans: moved body down 2'' and back 3.5''
moved motor, trans, and tcase back 3''
added 1980 front fenders and hood
---I am going to cut about 1'' off of the rear of the hood to add 2 inches of the 1987 hood. So the hood and the cowl fit better. I might try graftng the top corner of the 1987 fenders to the 1980 fenders. This will make the fendes and the cowl match better.

I have a like new Dodge Ram stock exhaust catback system. This setup came off a 07' 1500 quad cab with a Hemi 5.7L. I took this off to install an aftermarket system. This setup has less than 1000 miles on it ...... Like NEW. I will also throw in 3 magnaflow used tips

This auction is for a Mopar chromed aluminum fuel door that fits a 94-08 Dodge ram 1500, 2500, 3500. I am told it might fit a Dakota also. This came off my 07 1500. I only had it installed for 2 months when the truck was totaled so this is like new!!!! This is a complete 1 piece door including hinge (part number 82209438AB) not one of those crappy covers that tape onto your existing door. This costs me over $120 new.... my loss your gain.

Putting a feeler out there to see if there may be any interest in my Jeep.

I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler, 4.0 six banger, 5 speed, with 28000 miles on it.

It is black, with a soft top, Chrome Bridger AEV wheels and sucky tires.

This thing is really nice, and kinda don't want to sell it, but something has come up. You all know how it is.

Wondering if anyone would be interested in it, does have a rebuilt title, had a hood and drivers fender put on it.

this runs and drive awesome. Have only put 8000 miles on it since I got it, and I have 6 other Jeeps so I dont get to drive it enough.

red sedan
2.3 quad 4 automatic
Interior is clean, body is damn near rust free, has a small dent in passenger rear quarter.
everything works, manual windows
144k miles
NEW coolant outlet, and radiator flush, with new coolant.

it needs:
a battery,
a brake line,
a radio
oil change
and new gas.

as it has sat for about a year. i had it on the road today, got about 2 blocks a way and popped a brake line fired up great, runs ok, like i said, the gas is OLD

I would advise trailering it home.


$225 this weekend, or it gets scrapped.
