    85 with 93 4.0L fuel gelled...

    So i have an 85 with a 4.0 swapped in it. Long story short I redid all the wiring and put a 94 dash in to minimize the splices. I've been trying to make it run with the 91 harness originally used to do the swap (by the PO) it's been getting harder and harder to start and running worse and worse...

    4.0 swap engine ID please help.

    Got this 85 with a 4.0 OHV swapped in and started tearing it apart having to fix the alternator wiring and some other stuff. Well it will run fine for about 10 minutes till it gets warm (I think) then it loads up and chokes itself unless you give it throttle. Now I went to the JY today to look...

    I plan on swapping wiring and the dash from a 91 into my 85. My question is do I need to swap the steering column too? Or will the plastic pieces mount to the older column Thanks ahead of time

    Bought an 85 that had a 2.9 and someone swapped in a 4.0 they did an extremely terrible job and I've had to chase several things down to get it to run... My question is: if I get a dash and the cab and under hood harness' should I only have to splice the lighting and fuel pump wires? I did a...

    3.0 taurus ECC will run an '87 2.9L

    This came out of my 87 2.9L ranger. Long story short the little ground wire fell off the negative battery cable and killed the truck... I thought it was just the fuel pumps not turning on. Traced it to the ECC being the ground off the relay. So I though it was a bad ECC. Pulled it to find it was...

We had a nice Mac 1/2" impact but the power was lost in the u-joint, soaked in pb blaster, heated with propane torch, pounded on manifold with a hammer and punch... Even tried using...

    Very nice. So you got the 7.5 l/s? Very rare. My BII was such a beast after I swapped in an 8.8 l/s especially in the snow

    yet another person wasting time on a D30

    I was all excited when my buddy told me he went wheeling with a SAS bII. It's locked front and rear and sits on 33's and it's unstoppable... He plowed through a ditch in 5' of snow and backed straight out of it easy. It helped out a lot to see just how to set mine up but that truck is very getto...

    yet another person wasting time on a D30

    Fair enough... Jeep might have pulled a ford and used whatever they had around to save money and built a HP with cv's... Possible I looked at a d30 in a bII today and I think I'm gonna do coils ha ha I just wasn't sure how they needed set up but I got it pegged and I think I can even use my...
