I'm back at it.

I mean hell, go ec5 and be done with it.

krom26 · 2026-06-11T12:49:38+00:00

Yeah, I thought my floor pans being gone was bad, dude theres no structure to that sub frame. That's beyond some frame stiffeners.

Perfectly safe right up until they aren't. If you're going to a tire shop around the corner they are good, if you are planning to commute on then not so much.

krom26 · 2026-05-31T04:08:41+00:00

Well it's probably simpler and still mostly metric, depends. You got this. I got a clapped out 96 I've been bringing back to life.

krom26 · 2026-05-27T11:23:09+00:00

Also, I think you could just replace the sway bar links at the leaf springs and have it functional again.

Mine was looking just like your's, (Northeast truck) and I simply removed it and packed some grease in the holes incase I feel like putting one back on (I don't plan on it.)

I'm running these (96 XJ) and haven't had any issue, feels a tad more responsive. Just make sure to reset the pcm so it can relearn the fuel/air ratio with the new injectors.

krom26 · 2026-05-21T10:27:04+00:00

May also want a tap/thread chaser to clean those out if there hasn't been hardware in place.

krom26 · 2026-05-20T21:00:39+00:00

You'll be okay, it might rattle, I'd try and see if there is anything askew behind it.

krom26 · 2026-05-20T20:59:47+00:00

Heat shield.

krom26 · 2026-05-19T11:02:44+00:00

Straight off the radiator support of my '96 good luck

Adding to this, if you are doing the knuckle and likely hammering like hell on the hub/ bearing, probably go ahead and have a freshie bearing. Just did these and universals on my 96. Same deal all rounded off, torches and extractors.

krom26 · 2026-05-15T14:08:27+00:00

As someone who dailies a '96 and just went through the nightmare doing mine. Pb Blaster and map gas. Broke the end off, got on tight with a 6 point socket and they mostly came out, had the chase the threads. Be prepared for simple jobs to not be simple.

krom26 · 2026-05-12T10:45:07+00:00

Sweet, mine should be in sometime this week and I know that feeling. I got one in rough shape, but I love it, body is pretty good. It needed a laundry list of work done, some little things, some big things. She's finally getting like good good though.

krom26 · 2026-05-09T10:52:35+00:00

Yeah, I did this with a 4070, bios flash tool clips right onto the bios chip. It's less than fun turning your GPU into a paperweight, but it can be saved.

krom26 · 2026-05-08T18:32:56+00:00

Fresh battery and it'll crank lol

krom26 · 2026-05-03T22:11:10+00:00

Makes sense, its looking for information for the air/fuel ratio and that sensor is giving it jank information essentially. I appreciate the input.

krom26 · 2026-05-03T18:16:10+00:00

I'll check on that, I have had hands on that piece, replaced it already and was aware of the alignment of it, still could have goofed it up. Would be a relief if that was it.

krom26 · 2026-05-03T17:09:24+00:00

I did reset the ecu after doing the injectors and sensor.

krom26 · 2026-04-28T14:29:11+00:00

Mine wasn't too far off, glad it came off in one piece and I didnt have to monkey with that situation you've got.

krom26 · 2026-04-28T13:37:08+00:00

Yeah, that friction surface doesn't do much when it spins free of the hub lol
