They were cheap and they look sweet too. Not too loud. If I ever go ice fishing I’ll use the stud capability (the Eagle’s heater is better than my truck’s so it’s a possibility) otherwise they’re just all terrains. Probably a little unnecessary but I’m happy with em Maybe I’ll even go trail riding with my friend’s Jeep YJ
No they were on sale and then I got a rebate and they’re not super desirable anyways Most tires in that size are for trailers
Haha I know how you feel on the trailer sized tires, just about anything prior to 16 inch wheels being standard are considered trailer sized now
Fun facts about the Mexican car market: Nissan, Volkswagen, and Chevrolet are the best-selling brands in the market. There's a lot of factories and many cars are built here. Mercedes-Benz is the first German luxury car brand to enter the Mexican market, starting with the S-Class in 1993, later followed by the E and C-Class. The 1994 Chevrolet Chevy, a rebadged Opel Corsa, paved the way for subcompact cars in the market. Honda entered the Mexican market in 1995 with the Accord, later followed by the Civic, Odyssey, and the CR-V. BMW entered the car market in 1996 with the 3 and 5-Series, later followed by Audi in the same year with the A4 and the A6. Renault returned to the Mexican market in the late 90s with the Mégane Classic and Scénic. SEAT entered the car market in the early 2000s with the Ibiza, Córdoba, León, and Toledo, as well as the Alhambra. Toyota entered the Mexican market in 2002 with the Corolla and Camry, later followed by the Sienna, Tacoma, Yaris, and the Rush. Mazda entered the car market in 2005 with the Mazda3, 5, 6, and the MX-5. The 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid is the first hybrid car sold in Mexico. The 2014 Nissan LEAF is the first electric car to be sold in Mexico. V8 vehicles were banned between 1983-1985, but the ban was later lifted starting in the late 80s-early 90s.
Big change After it's washed I'll take a proper comparison photo Before is the 2nd one for those who couldn't tell
This is the first weekend the KИ R10 will be spending at home after months at the shop. All that body work done. Brand new paint and clearcoat, facia swap, and a brand new suspension from the front to back. With the white roof, the interior is not as hot as it would be with body color paint.
Gonna have my friend look at my transmission because it’s getting kinda clunky. Also might get a new carb soon Eat beef
Is the trans a Borgwarner type 35? Also, be very wary of new chinese carburettors, whilst they may work okay-ish, there will inevitably be some shortfalls, for instance some of the carbs i've bought seem to have the venturi cast incorrectly, as to allow either too much air to flow through, requiring compensation via the jets, which just spoils fuel economy (though it would seem with your Eagle, economy is never going to be a strong point) or not allow a proper accelerator pump shot . Some carbs have missing gaskets, mismatched metering rods or have just sat so long the castings have started turning to dust, so three quarters of the time, you still need to buy a gasket kit. If there is nothing wrong with your current carburettors castings, it would really pay not only in the short run but also the long run to just put some new gaskets in and reset all the adjustables within the carb. Beef is good, All hail beef
Torqueflite 998 I think I was thinking of getting a Motorcraft 2150 because I’ve heard from Jeep guys those are good on 258s
I keep forgetting how easy it is to get anything in the states, If im not mistaken the Holley 2280 series ought to be a bolt on on swap with a lot of tunability, or at least the ability to get get lots of tuning parts... One thing is certain, you wont have any issue finding a Motorcraft/Holley/Carter/Autolite or any carburettor where you live, the bigger issue is finding one in a serviceable condition and/or tuning parts. Holley still makes the 2280 series (and shoot me if they dont) Also is your current carb a Chrysler unit or an AMC built BBD? Supposedly the AMC built design had a number of shortfalls in the float design that would cause stalling and poor drivability at uneven angles (which affects all carburettors), which is why lots of Jeep and AMC people say to ditch the in house BBD with something else. Those problems would only really crop up if your taking your Eagle out for some serious offroading. Don't discount the pdfs' I sent you, beyond warped castings, a BBD of of any make will really just keep working with very minor (if any at all) tuning once set up properly. The Valiant averages 26-7 mpg on long trips and about 19-21 mpg normal driving around and is capable of nearly running out of speedometer at 112 mph(its 1.7 miles fast) should it need to. All with a factory correct Carter 4301s BBD Dont think I've heard of the Torquefilte 998, I'll be sure to look into it ! --- Post updated --- Just looked into that transmission, does yours whine in first and slightly less in second gear?
How do I tell which carb it is? The tag? Trans kinda whines but I can’t really hear much drivetrain noise over the lifter tick. Gonna change the oil soon and hopefully that helps a little
The tag usually tells you, unless it has been remanufactured. Otherwise just flick us a picture or two of it If the valvetrain is loud enough to drown out road and drivetrain noises then you've got serious issues, and dont make the mistake of putting thicker oil or "lifter fix" in as temporary fix, because if they do any fixing, it'll be extremely temporary. Unless your lucky and it just has solid lifters
Ok I can definitely hear road noise and stuff but the lifter tick is pretty defined. I’ll have to pay more attention next time
Could also be an exhaust leak. What sort of milage do you get? A question unrelated to the possible valvetrain noise.
