Now I'm going back 20+ years, but as I remember we were told by our DSM it could be towed all 4 on the ground if the transfer was in neutral, but don't take my word as law. Although we did tow our 87 all over and we towed the 88 down into Baja a couple of times with no probs. A little PS something in the back of my mind is saying there was a 200 mile limit? on towing without stopping

My bad I should have said store, I do all my own work thanks for the answer

Yeah about a 1/4 inch needs to come off

I see your in Fontana, do you have a shop there, if so an addy ? I'm down in Elsinore

I'm about 20 miles from there, but my pathys are an 88 and a 94 no luck for me :(

Thats what I figured about that plastic hose, I was planning on replacing it tomorrow. Running between 2750 and 2800 on a level road it's hitting about 8 to 10 inches speeds about 68 at that rpm Thanks for the reply

went out to Pomona yesterday auto meter temp gauge electric $55.00 oil press electric $70.00 and no tax. Will get them installed as soon as I get the vacuum gauge problem taken care of. And the Forces were out in force, but only Courtney made aqualifying run

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

A couple of quick ?s, did you use the plastic hose that came with the gauge, mines reading between 20 and 21 at idle but just about anything else it goes to crap, what kind of readings are you getting at 65/70 and between 2700 and 2800 rpm

Ynot Ive 97 Qx4 parts in my 88 pathy and the Qx4 emblem on my rear hatch window :welcome: and we need pics

There was just about enough room for the vacuum line, I enlarged the hole with a moto dremel. I pulled the instrument cluster, I ran a wire coat hanger with 80 lb dacron fishing line attached to it through the back of the dash, using a pair of forceps I was able to grab the line. Then I pulled the wires up and through. I used 1 of the screws from the tweeter for the ground wires. I did the vacuum lines in the engine compartment today and finished the inside wiring. For the lights and switched power feed I tapped into my trans temp gauge that I installed about 6 months ago. All I need now is the gauges and finish wiring to the sending units THIS IS FOR A SQUARE DASH If I keep my 94 I might do it later

the vacuum gauge came in yesterday, so I started playing around with the install, what a pain in the a$$, the vacuum line 2 wires for the senders 2 wires for the lights and 1 switched lead, anyway theyre all in. Now I need the temp and oil gauges and put evrything back together, also going to replace all the vacuum lines. Oh the autometer vacuum gauge was a very tight fit

We're going out to Pomona next weekend and watch the big boys run will probably pick up the oil and water trmp out there if the price is right, going to try and stay with autometer.

My pins and bushings came in yesterday and installed with no probs, then had to road test its so nice not to have it rattle back there

replaced the fuel pump/ sending unit on the 88 trying to get the fuel gauge to read more accuratly. While at the dealer getting the Oring I saw they were have a special on oil filters buy 2 get the 3rd 1 free, so will give them a try.

I installed a pair from a 97 QX4, if I remember I had to enlarge the hole where the shaft goes up. As to the wiring I tapped into the the dome lite which also feeds the map lights. The brackets that holds the ends had to be moved slightly, you'll have to drill a couple of holes all in all it was a pretty simple install and the wife really likes the double visor. I picked the visors up at the same time I got the console and shifter, and the QX4 emblem now sits in the lower left corner of my rear hatch window

It's a good idea to run the A/c about once a week for abot 10 minutes or so to keep everything lubed in the system. the only time I've ever had to add any to mine was when the hi side line blew or I converted the system over. Also I drilled out the pin holes on the tire carrrier and tapped them for 6 mm zerks which won't be able to stay in but at least I'll be able to lube the heck out of them

your bushing # should be E7247-41G60 instead of E247-416G0, my parts guy showed me the mistake today. Anyway I'm half done with mine just waiting for the parts thanks for all the info

Am I glad my 88 is a Ca. pathy I ordered the pins and bushing for the tire carier today, and decided to tear it down it only took about 45 minutes to pull the carrier and knock out the pins and bushings. I did have a slight prob with last of the bushings , but a 12 mm 3/8s socket and a 4 inch extension fit perfect to knock it out. After hearing some of the stories about frozen pins I was sweating it

Ask your uncle to come in and explain how he chipped the ecu, I'm sure some of us would give it a try, hell I'd be extremly happy to even get my milage up in the 20s

My 88 with 240,000 plus miles autotragic, 31-10-50 15s, light bar with those big a$$ bosch lights, on the freeway running between 2700 and 3000 rpm speed is between 70 and 75 mph I get just a tad over 15 mpg. Before I mounted the light bar I was averaging close to 17 mpg speed is not by the speedo but 2 different gps sure wish I could get milage in the 30s :rofl:

my 69 CJ5 had the 225 v6 which willys had got from gm it was orig[nally in the buick

Nice write up, now we know what to do when we run ours from the piller pod

well the speaker grill is going to have to be modified or it sticks up about a 1/4 inch, the gap at the top possibly could be covered if you slide the pod up as far as it will go, also I think it will be solid enough with just the 2 screws, also the bottom screw hole can be a bitch to drill. When I get the guages in I'll possibly try and heat the panel to form it a little better, its not that noticable with the door closed. Of course no one here in town had an oil pressure or electrical temp gauge so I'm going to order them on line. All in all I think it going to be ok

Thanks I'll look around and see if I can find any
