Lol. I'm sorry. I have to have a little fun here. So in reality most 35s actually measure 34. Your aw4 has an overdrive of .75 and redline for the 4.0L from what I remember is about 5,000 rpm. So that being said, you won't have to worry about over revving until you hit 150 mph. 👍 I think we...

Something else to think about here that a lot of people may not think about. Regardless of what truck you're looking at, the actual amount that truck can tow will vary. If you have 4 adults and 700 lbs worth of gear in the bed, you need to subtract that from the amount you can tow. So in this...

Spanks brought up Tundras. So I just had to bring this up. I worked for Toyota, Dodge, and Chevy. The Fords we wouldn't even glance at, they went straight to the auction. After working on them all, I can very confidently say nothing comes even remotely close to the Tundra or Tacoma for...

I used an early YJ Pedal assembly in mine. I tried it without the support rod at first (it was missing in that particular YJ I got it from), but later added one. Made a huge difference with pedal feel. It drastically cuts down on how much the firewall flexes. It's been a long time since I did...

Exactly. This isn't Pirate4x4.

Yes! That time is finally here. It's warmer out and all the cancer washed off the roads. Just got my junk out of storage yesterday. :bacon:

Yes, when it was bored .030 over Bore for the 396 was 4.094 and the stroke was 3.76. The cubic inch equation is bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x number of cylinders. So in the case of the 396 4.094 x 4.094 x 3.76 x .7854 x 8 = 395.971 Here's .030 over. 4.124 x 4.124 x 3.76 x .7854 x 8 = 401.796...

Unless I'm remembering something wrong here. I don't think Chevy had a "400" big block since like 1970 or 71 ish? Turbo Fire 400! Lol. All it was was a 396 big block. So there wasn't really a 400 big block Chevy. The actual 400 was a small block. Any modern V8 whether LS, hemi, Toyota or...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually don't completely hate it either. Looks like a fun buggy of sorts. Interesting...

A RHD manual would be fun as hell!

If the frame is good and can actually run and drive without a ton of effort, then yeah. I would absolutely pay $2500 for it. Postal or not. $2500 doesn't get you much these days, especially with Scramblers.

This is worth a read. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/auto-tranny-not-shifting-105980/

The cam/lifter failures I'm pretty sure were mainly on the 09 up. The 03 to 08 were more notorious for dropping valve seats. I kinda skipped through it a bit but this video seems to do a pretty good job of explaining the issues. I personally only worked at Dodge for a year and that was 12ish...

I came across this years ago. I thought I remember having to replace a shift solenoid. I think I remember their being a bulletin on it, but this was like 12 years ago. Call a Dodge dealer with your vin and they should be able to tell you.

Just something I thought of. I would be a bit hesitant to use a 5.7 hemi in a jeep. They have oiling problems that cause cam/lifter failure. Especially on ones that spend a lot of time idling or near idle. Which is what a Jeep is doing on the trails. I'm not much of a Dodge guy so I can't speak...

I absolutely agree Randy. It does add up very quick. But in reality it's kinda hard to put an exact number on it unless you know you're just buying everything new. But even then there are several things that really change the overall price. Like a inline pump vs in tank pump, electric fans vs...

Here's a wrecking yard near you that has a low mile one for $500. In total it will cost you $2000 to $3000 depending on what you choose for harness, exhaust, fuel pump, etc. I wouldn't think twice about running something in the 150,000 ish mile range. That's nothing for these. Just pull a valve...

What did you design on these things? If it's anything mechanical on the Taurus it may be in your best interest to plea the 5th. Lol

🤣🤣🤣 Damn it Eric, I can't unsee that now. I'm sorry Randy, he's kinda right.

I think the truck intake manifold is a big part of why they are ugly. The car (f body) manifolds look way better.
