Jeff, I have the Jacobs "Energy Team" producing the spark on my J-20's 360! I am very happy about the system. I have been running it for a year and a half with no problem. I have noticed about 1 to 2 mpg better, but, the biggest difference is in the start and Idle!!!. I paid $600 for the whole"Shootin Match" back in late 95'. I recently pulled the connector off my no 4 plug wire... a quick call to tech. support at Jacobs had a new one to me in 3 days FREE! I weighed the purchase price for a new OEM "ford Sure Spark" computer, coil and wires and it came out to about $150 less than the jacobs system. I have nothing but good things to say. I had a buddy start & run my truck for me while I was away on business. His exact words were, "Wow... it started quicker than my new Tacoma!" I can't speak for other systems but I do know a friend wo uses MSD ignition components on racecars and he is happy.

Didn't do nuthin' to them, just started the truck up the next day. I attribute their poor performance to the " brand new" battery not being charged enough to handle the electrical system. ( It had just been filled & charged 15 minutes before I installed it ). Anyways, my two brothers named Darryl jammed out on me for the day trip, so I phoned a buddy and we went out in Ol' White by ourselves. Found out two things, brakes are bad, very BAD. Looks like I will have to install a new master cylinder, and new shoes F+R, plus new pistons in the back. (Which I have stored up in the garage for the past 2 years.) Second, I now have a _very_ noisy ticking sound, which I am hoping is just a vacuum problem. #3,,, water pump squeals a little bit more then it did last year, but is not leaking yet. #4,,,,,,, I should _really_ put a thermostat back in there to help the rad cool the engine.............. CHILLIWACK RIVER VALLEY AREA.......... Mostly, the day consisted of easy fire road travel, with the occasional washout to perk things up a little. Low range works fine, ( except for that bent shift fork thing) <g> and the motor works just fine, ( for 169,700 miles), but that darn ticking noise is annoying! CHUCKLE FOR THE DAY........... Do you remeber the Jeep commercial where the guy in the new TJ gets to the top of the mountain and starts yelling and stomping his feet in excitement?? And then the couple in the older CJ hears his voice echoing in the canyon and mutter, " rookie" ?? If you do, then picture this........................ I was going to turn off the old gravel road, and then cross a small channel of the river, to go have lunch on the main " island". Ahead of me was a couple of 20-ish preppies in their newer YJ. One of their buddies had already walked across the channel to check it's depth, then encouraged the driver to " GO FOR IT ! " Well, he got up the nerve and did, taking the longer, but shallower angle through the water. The water depth was only up to the floorboards where he had crossed, and when he got over to the other side, he came to a dead stop five feet past the water, got out and starting doing high 5's, saying stuff like, " Way cool, that's what real 4 wheeling is all about", etc. They sounded so cute :) In the mean time, not expecting them to suddenly block my path out of river, I had already begun to take the more direct, and deeper, angle across the channel. The preppies heard the noise, and turned just in time to see this HUGE BARGE pushing a bow wave as high as the hood, chugging across the water right at their cute YJ, and it was evident I wasn't going to stop for them to finish their " male bonding" thing !!!! What quckly followed was a few " HOLY S*%-at- 'S " as they scrambled to jump back into their Jeep and get it out of my way !! By the time the had put it into gear and moved it, the bow wave was already crashing at their back tires ! Ol' White climbed out of the water, went over a few boulders to get around these guys and chugged on done the island, with the floor board drain holes doing a good job of emptying the Jeep>>>>>> Twas a short shake down cruise, a quickie for the first of the season, but it was fun none the less ! Oh well, back to the garage, with a stop off at the parts store..........

Doc, If i hadn't experienced it first hand I would agree with what
with it running... then do it in Neutral... Ok, shut the rig off
and check the level. Wait a little bit and check it again... The
fluid level will go up because the tc is draining.
What I've found is that when I first go to get going, there is a
major hesitation... the guy said to start it in neutral and the
problem will go away.
Besides, this isn't the first time I've heard or read about this.
I was referred to these guys by Olympic 4x4. I talked to both the
owner and one of his technicians. We talked about internal parts of
a variety of trannies... They KNEW what they were talking about.
I also know from this winter that my tranny got very hot from all the
hill climbs and then putting it in park to idle... I could easily
verify this buy pulling a cooling line and running the rig... I
suspect there will be some flow, but not as much. It has to do with
the front pump design of these TF's... He explained it using normal
to multi-syllabic words... :-)

SUBJECT: need an honest and unbiased opinion
Hello
I am a total Jeeper by heart, but I need to make a decision soon. I
used my 95 Cherokee last weekend to pull my Scrambler down to the
Pittsfield Jeep Jamboree and it did not work too well. So now, I am
faced with a decision. I need to get a heavy duty truck to pull my
Scrambler with. Now, here is where the honest opinion comes in. I do
not have a lot of experience with FSJ vehicles. I am more familier
with the CJ group. Should I get a brand new or newer F250HD or F350
with a 351 or possibly turbo diesel or should I keep my Cherokee for
an every day truck and find a J20 or J30? Now, I am not sure how a
truck of that stature (J20 or J30) is on reliability, and I do not
know if another insurance bill and plates would be worth it. I would
also need to find another place to put the truck at. The reason I am
choosing Ford is because I have a family member who works for Ford and
I can get the A plan discount, which is very good!
Ok guys, please answer honestly and not just with a Jeep answer. I
wish that I could own all Jeeps but it may become time to stray a
litle bit.
Thanks, and email me privately if the answers are long.

It's $ 4,80 to be presise :-)) Remember, Norway is one of the three biggest oil-producing contries in the world so it make perfectly sense that we should have the highest gas price in the world???

Dad's 71 decided that while crossing the bridge between Maryland and Delaware (i think) it was as good a time as any to lose the hood. First time I heard Dad use language like that. :-) One little "click", then the thing popped open for a second, then sailed over the side of the bridge. Almost as exciting as loosing a surfboard off the roof of the Duster at 75mph and watching the thing get some serious air while barely missing a semi.

I think its pretty low stall ( I assume stick RPM) its pretty peppy, and does seem to be engaged at pretty LOW RPM, but it will still roll backwards on a STEEP hill unless you feather the gas, ( mine idles at 600) i was told you couldnt not put a NON lock up TC in a LOCK UP tranny... whether that is true or not I dont know... but I have also heard many similar explanations of why the TF727 does slip a little when you first engage it EVERYBODY SAYS ITS NORMAL I saw a new company ( www.levelten.com) advertising a performance ( lots of goodies included) rebuild kit for the 727, might want to check into that.. cya Matt[Back to Top]
