    OEM Tire size??

    I have the 88' R30 dually and the speedometer is off. When going 50-60 mph it is reading about 10 mph slower than what I am actually doing. The only thing I can think of is it may have a different size tire than stock. Does anyone know the original size tires?

    Engine swap!

    Shipping to Missouri probably wouldn't be cheap at all. I would think you could find a 258 where you live easily, they came in about every AMC car and Jeep out there. I am still deciding on a V8 swap or keeping the 258 and rebuilding it. Keeping the 258 would include...... Bring the...

    Engine swap!

    So, I am pretty happy with the performance on my 1 ton truck with the TBI 350 engine... I mean, yeah it COULD be better but it is pretty good. Now I also have a 1975 Jeep Cherokee with a 258 straight 6 in it and although very reliable it is a dog on power. Where I live it's uphill...

    Question about my truck?

    Newbie trying to park this thing

    Mine is a 1 Ton with a 8'x15' flatbed on it. A regular truck would be a joy to turn & park. I have been driving trucks for 40 years so I am used to it. Have driven everything from Nissan D21 up to 18 wheelers..... try turning one of them around. My 1974 full size Jeep Cherokee has an extremely...

    Tic,Tic,Tic coming from flex plate

    Were the new bolts the same length exactly and not a shade longer? Were the heads on the new bolts thicker? The new bolts could be having clearance issues and scraping somewhere. I just rebuilt an AMC 360 a couple months ago and lost a flywheel bolt somewhere and replaced it with one I had the...
