That was my first thought. Those things are spendy, so it's a nice bonus if that's the case.

I sprayed that catalyzed stuff with isocyanate in it all day every day, cigarette hanging out of my mouth half the time, and I lived to regret it. If your exposure isn't occupational, you'll probably be fine. You could say I'm biased.

Can someone post a photograph of the 6.2 starter support bracket correctly installed? I think mine is missing.

I hadn't seen cans like that in 20 years, man. Hope you wore respirators. Stuff is not good for you.

At 40 years of age, I'd say the OEM bushings looked pretty good. The brakes were squealing, so I replaced the pads. Still squealing. I guess you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

I actually hadn't installed the upper shackle bushings on the front end, so I set about that this morning. Had spent some time looking around online for any example I could find of how it's done, since I don't know what I don't know and that's a good way to find out. No luck, so here's my...

Did it rain last night? That's the only thing that comes to mind when I think of spontaneous electrical system changes in parked vehicles.

It's the real life Kaleco Auto o-pipe. https://web.archive.org/web/20040130064823/http://kalecoauto.com/

It's even worse than I suspected. I had to go digging quite a bit in search results to find this: Center inlet Dynomax Super Turbos have an atrocious baffle design. I'm experiencing secondhand embarrassment for whoever engineered this mess. Will open them up and modify them somehow. There's...

Running a HMMWV IP because it's all I could find at the time. The timing is turned up pretty good and the intake is wide open, but it could still benefit from moving more air. Preferably without sounding obnoxious. Dynomax Super Turbos seemed to fit the bill, so I ordered a couple, and they...

As far as cheap junk from China goes, this panoramic clip-on mirror was worth every penny. Visibility and clarity were both substandard with the OEM mirror. It was pretty scratched up among other problems. With this thing, I just rotated it until I wasn't looking at my own reflection and now...

Seemed like an odd place. They probably just have cheaper labor than China. Please refrain from discussing narcotics in my threads. The only thing hard about doing the mounts is the crud falling in your face. The Energy Suspension mounts are more expensive than I expected, but I practically got...

Discovered this morning that the bottom bracket on the power steering pump had fallen off. Thankfully, it had just rotated out of position, rather than being missing entirely. Don't know how long it had been like that, but the top of the pulley had worn a groove into the mount and the bottom of...

Poked around under the truck and installed cotter pins in all the castle nuts that the previous owner's mechanic didn't. Just glad nothing fell off between then and now. Rear springs are scheduled to arrive Tuesday.

I wish the outside of our engines looked like the inside of yours. Forgive my ignorance, but is the timing chain behind that plate that sits behind the IP gears? I haven't been that deep in my 6.2 yet.

I couldn't have installed it if it wasn't collapsible. Well, I could, but I'm in no mood to be pulling steering gearboxes today. That's a whole big production, but this is just a two beer job if you work slow and drink fast. The Jeep shaft telescopes at the rubber boot. It has splines that...

Took a chance on an open box listing on eBay and was pleasantly surprised to find that I scored a complete set of poly motor and transmission mounts for $40. Wasn't really feeling ready to tackle this job, but $40 was an offer I could not refuse.

Front end bonus round. I ordered SKP 425-284 (XJ Steering Shaft) from RockAuto. The lower bolt at the steering box is 12 point 7/16". The upper nut is 5/8" on a round headed bolt: I planned to do this swap because I thought the rag joint was completely shot. I looked into replacing it with...

The good news is repro fender inners are cheap.

Yeah, that's a modification. I'd secure the loose wires so they don't find something hot or moving. Are you missing your CDR entirely? I have an extra.
