Howdy all, after 16 years of licensed motoring, i have decided to give a JEEP a try. I bought a 2000 WJ and have a few questions.
1. It has a 2004 4 liter in it with 80k. From the research I've done, the oil pressure should drop at idle, but what is considered too low? It makes no noise, and the gauge reads just over 25psi at idle and around 45psi driving. This is more to soothe my fevered brow.
2. Are 245/70/16s too small for a 2" budget boost? I think they should be fine, but would love visual confirmation.
3. It drives and steers fine, no slop or solid axle shuffle, will going up 2" illicit any bad behavior due to driveline binding or pinion angles?
Me: Not neccessarily a Ford guy, but its all I've owned. 4 square body F150s, 5 mustangs/capris and the best truck never should have sold, my old Ranger. If any of you are old timers, I would tag along at Tuttle from to time. Red 93 Ext. Cab short bed truck with a small lift and front and rear limited slips.
Anyhoo, thats that.
