Thanks for the info, but my temp gauge has 4 post on the back of the gauge, 3 of which corrispond to terminal connections in the dash panel...I will be using a battery charger for the 12volts. I need to know which of the 3-4 post on the back to connect to. Does the fact that the gauge doesn't...

Hi All, I have a '84 XJ with a 2.5. My temp gauge was not moving from just left of center under any condition. I thought that a short was causing this problem. I disconnected the battery and the gauge still didn't go down at all. I removed the gauge and the gauge doesn't return at all towards...

Just wondering Hey Ghost, I also have an '84. I was just wondering about what it is your doing with a '94 harness? Care to share? Sounds like maybe a engine swap, which I may consider down the road when my 2.5 runs out of life. Thanks, Dave

Post repair comments Hi all, I'd like to thank you guys for your great input on this issue. You've helped me to save a bundle by doing it myself, Thank you! A couple of observations; First, use penitrating fluid to loosen the shaft, WD-40 worked for me. Second, I used a flat bladed screw...

Local Auto Dismantler? Thats where I'm finding some of my parts, but is is a hit or miss situation usually. Somebody on the board here might have one though. Which year do you need? Dave

Hi guys, My temp gauge is full hot with key off. beleive the problem is a wiring short. I have the Chiltons manual, but it doesn't show the location of the temp sending unit for the 2.5. Can anyone tell me where it is located... Thanks, Dave.

All I ever wanted was to be understood! Thanks alot guys, I had thought it would be something like that, special tools, big vise, shims, even bigger hammer. Heck this is going to be easy now, LOL... I guess I need to put the blow torch away then, eh? BTW, the picture is spot on! Thanks...

still can't get it to come apart Hi all, I might not have been detailed enough in my description of what I'm trying to do, so here goes. From the interior of the jeep, looking down at the shifter, knob on top, then shaft down to first rubber boot (snapped into console). Under the first boot...

Hi all, I have an '84 XJ stocker. I'm trying to replace the lower dust boot on the shift lever (manual trans.). This boot needs to slide to the bottom of the shifter and then be screwed to the floor. I notice on the shift lever a spot about 2/3 down the lever, where it appears to seperate into...
