My fuel gage runs about the same. I've never ran in out of gas but the low fuel light has come on once and it the indicator was more than halfway BELOW the E line...
I've just learned how the gage reads from driving it a lot. And yes, your mpg seems kinda low. I used to get about 15 mpg without driving sparingly and then I took a tube off the air intake and now I get about 16.5. But 12 is pretty low.

Yeah, I've seen that before... it's pretty sweet! Amazing what can be done in programming and sensors!!
-
Yeah, 2 inches wouldn't be that bad on either side, but the bumper already sticks out about 1.5 inches on each side. Cutting it down shouldn't be too bad, at least for my buddy in the machine shop.
I'm definitely considering it... anyone wanna donate about $200? Lol -
Well I just went out and measured my front bumper and got 62". I was measuring alone so it could be off a little bit, but that's what I got.
Sorry it took so long!
-
Agreed.... pretty close!
-
It allows you to start the truck without depressing the clutch if you hold the interlock switch. Even if it's in gear, so make sure you're not going to run into someone...

...worn regulator...
X2... that would be my first guess...

Thanks for the responses, I found out I could make a custom material in SolidWorks and I found the material properties of 5160. Appreciate all the help!

Ok, so I have a school project to do some modeling statically and dynamically and I chose to do a leaf spring pack, but can't seem to find anywhere what can't of material it's made out of. I did find one place that mentioned 5160 steel, but soilidworks doesn't have that material. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks all....

SILENCE! I KILL YOU!!!

Well I emailed and got a width dimension for the bumper and it's 66.5 inches wide. It's rainy here so I'll go out and measure the pathy tomorrow, or I'm sure someone here may get antsy and beat me to it. But if not, I'll let you know what the stock bumper measures tomorrow. Could be a decently good "cheap" bumper option....

Good to know. But I think what happened is when I lifted the air box, I did push it out of the way without disconnecting anything... so that probably screwed up the wires a bit. Drove it to the store and home and never had an issue... considering it problem solved.... unless it starts acting up again.
Thanks for the help guys! -
Thanks for the info adamzan. Messed with the wires before I left the apartment this morning and it seemed to run fine. Haven't driven it again yet, but I think that did the trick.
-
Congrats MrJim, great pic!
-
Ok, I'll give that a try in the morning. I just went to get dinner and it ran like crap! Had to keep the outside of my foot on the gas while stopped so it wouldn't die...

I have a 94 5 speed and have been looking into getting a CAI for it soon. I had to replace the headlight bulb on the driver side today, so while I was there I started looking at the stock air box and decided to remove the tube coming out of the front of it that just narrows and ends on top of the radiator in order to get some more air flow. Can definitely tell that it's getting more air flow, but it's now running rich, puffing black smoke, and stalling intermittently. Half the time, it will idle fine while in N, and then sometimes it just starts to act up and even died a couple times. Checked the codes and got 55- No Malfunction.
Any thoughts? Surely taking out that tube wasn't that big of a deal, how can it be any different from a CAI?
Here's some pics of what I did.
Also, thoughts on removing the resonator? Do I have to take the whole fender off to do it?
-
I had the same problem, ended up taking the keyless entry out as it was messing stuff up. Looking for an aftermarket one now.
I would always get the confirmation chirps and everything too, but it never would unlock or lock. Hope you can get yours figured out! Good luck!
-
I guess what I was addressing as a "problem" is the leak...
-
Is this a common problem with the Thorley's or just a bad set? I'm looking at getting some in the future and would be nice to know in advance if this is common.
-
One arm finished. I completely underestimated the amount of time it would take to weld. I'm going to try and keep track on the next arm but I'm thinking it took at least 10 hours. Probably more.
I don't know if I would have to patience to do that... but it takes time to do that stuff right, and it looks like you're doing right! Keep up the good work!

damn 200 miles to a full tank... still cant figure out why im getting such poor mileage...any ideas
Check the mileage based on how many gallons you put back in. Some people have said that there gage is a little off and they really have couple more gallons after hitting E.
Either way... I only seem to get 15 mpg out of my 94. There was a post of someone asking why they got bad mileage, lots of good suggestions in there.... a little search should find it easily.

If you're looking at a cherokee bumper for $300 or a guaranteed to fit WD-21 bumper for $500, you have to think of what kind of material cost, and labour cost (even if you're doing it yourself) into the cherokee bumper.
Yeah, but that's before adding anything... I've checked out the sight and everything you add to the "basic" bumper adds up real quick! I see what you're saying about having to modify, but I have a friend that works a machine shop and always has some scrap that I could use.
-
Yeah I've seen those, but they're still kinda pricey.. comparatively speaking of the ones I'm looking at.
How do you like it though?
-
Just now saw this... thanks guys! It was good, got some new rims for the pathy and got to drive my dad's recently complete 1926 T-Bucket! Great day! Thanks again!

Has anyone here had any experience with a remote start on a manual? I've seen products for the MT, but didn't know if anyone's used them and what they think about them. I'm thinking about getting one. TIA!
