No point to this post really...just here to complain and lament.
I've been going back and forth for the past year over doing the MPI conversion from Mopar.
Like anything with a 3k price tag I like to think about things. Finally decided to bite the bullet and order the MPI for the Jeep. Turns out "everybody" decided to stop making the damn things and now I'm on back order with a probable cancellation. Seems that I waited to long and Mopar isn't really making them anymore. I was like really? Just send my kit in the mail...pretty please.
Currently you can get them for an automatic from the big suppliers, but for a manual Transmission I seem to be out of luck. Talked to the folks at Hesco and they said no dice too. Apparently, Chrysler isn't making PCM's and a few other parts and are letting the kit die off...I have looked and looked and dont think they're going to come back online so to speak.
Soooo, if you're planning on grabbing one and have an automatic now's the time to do it.
On the of chance you have a kit for sale PM me and we'll talk haha.
At this point, I'm waiting for my order to be canceled...and then I suppose I'll grab a Howel TBI and call it done. In then end I guess it frees some of my money up for a proper lift with a YJ conversion.
Woes is me as I bounce along on my 2 inch springs up front for at least another 2 months
