3.73 is a great gear range all around. I ran that for a long time on my CJ and had no trouble at highway speeds with 33s. If you aren't running up and down the highway a lot you might consider going lower. I'm not familiar with where the 3.6 L power band is. Does it have low end torque line the in line 6 or does the torque come on at a higher rpm?

I've got something already scheduled for the 23rd.
How deep did you bury the concrete bucket?
Hey! Glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the heart attack. Hope you are on the mend.
Always good to hear of a company who stands by their product. They probably know how tight knit the Jeep community is. I had similar service from Powertrax.
Selling my truck. Many of you are familiar with it. Single owner.
Not coating anything, it's dented, has the typical rust, and looks rough. I'm one of few people in the world that actually use a truck as a truck.

john the mj in the pic would have the renix fi system.
Initially it said a YJ 4.0L motor which is why I questioned whether or not it was EFI.
I figured it would have been a Renix motor regardless though. Never knew what it was about those motors that made people shy away from them.
Trying to think of everything that happens when the engine warms up. If the intake had a crack in it or there was a bad gasket, would the motor heating up make that crack expand (opening it up) or expand (pushing either side of the crack together tighter)?
My thoughts are if the idle goes up after the engine warms up then the issue is related to the choke mechanism / circuit.
Wondering if taking them off road is the best idea if one gets car sick. Tends to be a lot of bouncing and jostling on the trails. Do you have good seat belt restraints for them?
'89 YJ is not fuel injected (I think) and I don't believe that was a good motor (Renix motor). Find out more about the motor and what transmission is behind it.
Idle issue is probably just be a leaking vacuum hose. Since it happens when as it warms up I would look at the vacuum actuated temp control sensor which is probably screwed into the side of the block on the driver side.
You might be able to determine if the gears have been done by driving it; if it seems sluggish from a stop or shifts at odd speeds then it probably hasn't been re-geared.
There are a few guys on here that can do it. Aastape, Shadyluke, and I believe another one who I can't think of at the moment.
If you want to go to a regular body shop, I recommend Accurate Collision. Friend of mine is part owner. Small shop that does great work. Most of their work is insurance related but they are both hot rodders and their way around custom work.
Inspect the soundness of the entire floor pan. If the rest looks good, I'd probably cut the area out back to good metal and patch it with a piece of sheet metal. Then coat everything with a good rust proofer.
How big is the hole? Do you need to replace the whole floor pan or can you get by with a patch panel?
I wouldn't mind taking a look at these. Overkill for the street but I've been wanting to get improve on my lab belts
Welcome to our little corner of the internet world! There are regular trips to Rausch Creek and the Anthrocite place I believe. I'm sure you will find something you're looking for.
Post your location. It may draw out interested parties if you are local to them.
You can try tightening up the 3 bolts on the mirror body but if it's loose then you the inside probably rusted. I'd probably just get new ones. I don't think they are too expensive.
I'm going to say NO, you don't need a new PCM. Idle issues, and issues of stalling while coming down from higher RPMs (coming to a stop light or sign) can be caused by other things.
So don't give up hope yet. I bet it's something simple.

I personally like the 2nd video better because the girl explains things really well and you have to give her props for doing it in sub-freezing weather.
I won a door prize: Smokeless fire pit. Haven't tried it out yet.
We all won a good time.
