    Lights?

    The wally world/autozone ones aren't terribly good though and you are limited to 55w bulbs because the 100w will start to melt or warp the housings.

    M5OD Sloppy Shifter

    With the 86 I would imagine you have a Mitsubishi FM145 or FM146 but there is the possibility of having the Mazda TK4 or TK5. They use a nylon ball on the end of the shifter.

    Squealing belt?

    Try getting a really lotiony soap like a bar of dove and hold it against the belt while its running on both sides, if the belt or the contact point for the belt on the pulleys is to blame then the squeak should go away becuase the soap is lubing it (it may just reduce the sound as well) but the...

    Squealing belt?

    How about the Power steering or Alternator pulleys? There could be a problem with them or the bearings associated with them. Also was there belt dressing sprayed on at any point in time that may not have gotten cleaned off? Also I am assuming this is a serp belt and not v belts?

    Explorer Leaf Springs.

    Well that sounds cheap to me.... I got mine for 65 buck a piece or like 130 from a pick and pull yard and that was the cheapest i could find them. The local dealer wanted 300 a piece and an offroad shop wanted almost 500 a piece.... But I also live in alaska I guess.

    converting to 4wd

    Yes you should be able to just swap them in however you will probably have to swap the engine crossmembers as well for the front axle.

    Blowing front hubs!

    yeah i think if you have the d35 the Jeep hubs are larger and stronger. if you still break them it may be time to step up to a bigger axle.

    tk5 tranny..........what type of fluid??

    I'd just fill it through the filler hole until it comes out, then plug it up and run it around for a little while then pull the plug and check it again.

    tk5 tranny..........what type of fluid??

    Yep you put in 80/90 weight or whatever it is. I think I used 85/90 RP when I rebuilt mine... The transfer case and newer Mazda M5OD transmissions take ATF.

    paint restoration

    For the oxidation I would just wash and wax it regularly and use oxidation remover in between.

    cold ride

    Yep change back to a 190 - 200 thermostat. Running a 180 thermostat will keep the engine cooler and allow better power. But a hotter thermostat is what was put in by factory. How long does the truck take to warm up? are you positive you got all of the air out of the system?
