My personal opinion is diesel oils are great in the right application, in summer??, OK. However I would not run 15/XX in your jeep in winter. If anything use one of the 5/40 syn diesel oils like shell T5 or T6, or whatever it is. If it were mine with that many miles id consider 10/40 high...

Good idea Flyer ;)

Ebay although boxing is a PITA. Probably locally on C/L or F/B scamplace.

Neither of my 2.5's had any kind of restrictor in the air intake. Secondly Id shitcan that K&N for a paper filter if you do ANY off road driving. Lastly, there is literally nothing you can do to make a 2.5 more powerful except swap it for another engine.

And brighter too ;)

I tol you mang.

Like new cause it look clean? and then "new" After 15 jeeps that needed help in various places Id guarantee if you built one out of "replacement" parts it probably wouldn't run and if it did it would fall apart sooner than later. How about those cables? Did you try tapping on the starter a few...

Educate yourself. The ax5 never came behind a 4.0. far as clutches go many of us have good luck with OEM style LUK clutches.

There is nothing you did or can do with the carb fiddling that damaged your booster. Id suggest disconnecting the booster vac line, plugging the intake and while sitting hit the brake pedal and see if you have the same thing go on. I drove my 73 FJ 40 for while with the booster unhooked because...
