    Replacement factory 4x6 speakers 88-94

    Can you give more details on this install? I have a regular cab and am looking for speakers. You used the original speaker locations in back? What is the upside down position on these speakers?

    Bench seat re-upholster

    My truck has the bench seat with the fold down armrest for the driver. At 190,000 miles the driver seat is pretty worn, including the edge towards the door. These are the seats with the upholstery glued directly to the foam. What are the options to replace the foam? I can put a seat...

    AC noisy

    In the cab I hear what I assume is refrigerant flow. Is this OK? It seems to be working well, cools the cab down quickly. I have never heard this on another vehicle. I only recently got the AC working again. I had everything replaced except the evaporator under the dash.

    timing chain and distributor

    I am going to order the parts and replace the timing chain and distributor. In another thread it was recommended to use a Cloyes 3202S or equivalent. There was a comment to use the single chain rather than a double. What is the advantage of one over the other? For the distributor I see...

    MPG

    Thanks! Much better. Is the timing chain replacement the same for all the SBCs? I see some videos for the 5.7 but not 5.0. If someone could point out a video or write up for the process I would appreciate it! Thanks.

    MPG

    "My guess is the timing chain has alot of slack in it retarding the cam timing and possibly ignition timing of it has not been checked. TBI base gaskets also fail, causing a vacuum leak which effects the MAP sensor and fuel delivery." I timed the motor when i did a tune up soon after i got it...

    MPG

    My truck gets about 10.5 to 11.5 MPG in city driving. Is that typical for these trucks? Stock, '93 RCSB, 4L60e, 305, 188,000 miles.

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    I did grease it. This joint above the u-joint is wobbly. What is it called? I think it should be replaced but can't find the part or service kit cause I do not know what it is.

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    I did this and found there is slop between the outer and inner sleeves of the jeep part. Not a lot. I think it is from removing the nylon parts inside the sleeve. Did anyone keep those parts are is everyone melting them out or removing them?

    blinker issue?

    When I put on the turn signal I get the normal blinker sound for a bit. Then it starts to speed up. All the blinkers and lights are working. The volt gauge bounces in time with the turn signal. Any ideas on whats up and where to start? Alternator is less than a year old. I replaced...

    Wind noise from doors

    I read that some guys are pulling the door seals and threading in some closed cell foam rod. It makes the seal tighter. Not sure if it helps or not but it is worth looking into.

    painting door sills

    I have a rust spot or 2 on the drivers sill. I am planning to sand it clean, prime and paint. It will just be a small area and I am thinking to get the correct color auto paint and use a brush. I will put on several coats, then sand it flat and clear coat. I do not want to fool with a spray gun...

    electrical connectors

    I got these from Amazon. They are the correct style but the wire is 18 gauge. Where can I get them with a larger wire, like 12 gauge? Or better, what vehicles have these male connectors? If I can find them in the junkyard that would be great. Then I can get them real cheap. Since I am...
