Nick's POS thread.

That is why I'm trying to stay out of this thread. I'm afraid some of your problems might be contagious and knowing my luck, I'll catch it. You've got me really looking at things under/over/through the YJ. Mine is 5 years younger than yours but I know that there are issues that need attention. Good luck Nick.

That's actually pretty funny too!

Look at the bright side, if the POS was working perfectly, you'd have more time to think about how cool it would be with a V-8, links, coilovers....

Just fix this thing right once and be done with it. Patches over patches do not make for good fixes.
If ya ever need help wrenching and sorting some of the mess out, just holler buddy.
If some million plus miles trucks can be made reliable, there has to be hope for your put put Jeep.

Thanks man. Lets me off the hook

Nick,

I put on the Durango steering box a few years ago on the Great88. Fit perfect and was a good choice for a upgraded replacement. Never had a problem after that.

[COLOR="darkred"]Awesome Mitch, that's really helpful! Now, is there a specific span of years to look for, and what year is the one Mat has?[/COLOR]

The 1999 Dodge Durango steering box is the one you want. Here is the Napa part #

Now what???

[COLOR="darkred"]Well I gotta put it in this Friday maybe...and I still haven't had that carb tuned. I also got a call that my bushings for the rear springs are in, so I gotta go pick those up too. So I have stuff to do. =)[/COLOR]

What is there to tune on a carb? idle screws for most, if it's a Carter BBD it might have needles in the main jets which you can play with to lean things out a bit to get better milage. Did that on an old Dodge van I had worked pretty darn well
