    In Memory of Wife Jennifer

    Thank you all. It really is helpful knowing that other families are praying and thinking of our (now my) sons and I. What an impact this has been on them. Jennifer, I and boys met many so many salt-of-the-earth CJ-8.com families at the 5 Sandblasts we have been to. Many of you first heard...

    Brake Bleeding Problems

    Hi, Sorry I'm joining late... I just saw this. Can I offer a different diagnosis and perspective? My humble 2 cent opinions for your consideration: 1) I believe your calipers are NOW reversed (even though you say you have pressure). That is, they are reversed now that you put the L-stamped...

    MPI New fuel pump problem

    E2000 fuel pump works fine on my Hesco MPI system. It's a frame-mounted pump used on 1980s Econolines. (It's a plug-n-play installation)
