If you can drill the fitting and get an easy out to extract it. And when ever you put a new one in use antiseez. Good luck

I personally have had good luck using small wire wheels made for use on drills or 1/4 inch impacts. Have also used these for cleaning up head gasket mating surfaces. Was suggested this by a machinist, you absolutely do NOT want to use a 4 inch high speed grinder with a wire wheel. I know that...

Mine has 2 v belts , no serpentine.

Tom Woods driveshaft website has a calculator for shims that will tell you the correct shim and you can order them there. You can also call them and they will help you with it.

Just replaced mine yesterday with a GM HEI style for the Jeep from JEGS. My Jeep had a fairly new looking HEI one in it when I got it and it ran but started having issues and discovered a problem with it so got a new one. These things ranged from $50 on Amazon to $220 at summit and some even...

Not that I am aware of, my 89 does not. Possibly one with factory a/c.

Assembly lube is just that, used to lubricate parts until the oil makes it there. If you got oil on it for lube that should be fine. My understanding is that the assembly lube at least the white lithium grease type, has been used for years to assemble complete engines that may not be started...

Were you able to get any assembly lube on the new seal surface or lube of any kind on it? The amount of time that it can take to get enough oil pumped through the crank shaft to get any oil on this new seal may have been the cause of this.

When it comes time for new windshield glass I plan on going to the local Safelite dealer. I know that is not the answer you are looking for but what my plan is.

The only thing that I can think of that is happening is that the torque converter is dragging or locking up at idle.

For that price I say grab it while you can. It is a deal if it is usable at all. Even if you never use it, it will be easy to unload for a profit.

Yeah, my best estimate is the axles add 900 to 1000 lbs by themselves. Antiwrap bar and associated cross member 100 to 150 lbs. wheels and tire 200, winch and mount another 100. Roll cage add on about 75 lb.

Went to the gravel yard the other day and got a weight on this thing. Not as heavy as I was afraid that it might be, but still 4220 lbs. That is as it sits in this pic with no top or doors.

My 89 has a single point on the roll bar.

Fanto???
