You can buy a reman for less than $3k so I'd personally go that route instead of having that local rebuild. Unless you don't feel comfortable swapping in the reman yourself, of course.
I've rebuilt 2 4.0s this year (88 & 00) and they were about $800 each. If you need to buy tools then it'll be...
Chiming to say I have this as well and works great. I use it with JScan (CDJ specific). Cost $20 per VIN but well worth it. They have an XJ option but I haven't tried with that yet.
Outside of your budget, but I use this one for everything else including the XJ for about $130: ThinkDiag 2
This is my 2nd rebuild and I did Cruiser's method the first time with no issues so I kept with the idea of "don't fix what ain't broke". I figure as long as you properly pre-lube then all should be good.
Swapped the oil pump and it built pressure in about 15 seconds. Fired it right up. I used a...
Yep, the connector turned out to be the culprit! Now I feel like a big dummy with that one. Looks like the solenoid-side is damaged. I'll probably convert to a ring terminal.
Now it's turning over, but I'm not seeing oil pressure after cranking (fuel relay and coil disconnected) for a minute or...
Here are some results:
I get 12v on pin 6 when 'ON'
I get 12v on pin 7 when 'START'
I get 12v to the brown wire on grey connector (c108?)
I do not get 12v from the PDC to the solenoid
I jumped 7 to the solenoid and get 12v but nothing happens
I have continuity between the blue/black wire and...
It works when I bridge the solenoid connections just fine. It's a known good starter that I took from the MJ. I'm not even getting a solenoid click, only the relay.
I just rebuilt my 2000 and can't seem to diagnose a no crank.
The starter relay is triggering when the key is turned so doesn't that rule out the NSS?
I also have a relay with the cover off that I can manually trigger and nothing is happening. Other known good relays aren't making a difference...
Hmm, I make adapters for the MJ (howeitsdone.com) but I wonder if there is a need for the XJ. I have my 2000 XJ but those kits are readily available. Should I look into 96-pre?
I'm going to run the XJ intake actually, I just realized the intake the guy gave me is the older 'log' style.
I suppose it's just a question of gasket then. I have a '99 gasket that should fit the newer intake. but the exhaust ports get blocked a bit. I think I'm going to have to trim the...
I'm rebuilding the engine in my '00 with a '99 Wrangler donor. So that means 0630 head.
Pretty much done with the rebuild and now ordering the rest of the parts. I'm replacing the entire exhaust system so the downpipe isn't my concern. Really just making sure that the '98 exhaust header will...
As title implies, I'm looking to see if I can remove the BD50-8 (24mm) from my '88 case and swap in a 6010N (16mm). Unsure if there are any physical differences between the early and late cases that wouldn't allow.
Swapping in an AX15 and bought the wrong input shaft which requires the 16mm...
To be fair, heater core replacement is only difficult if you try and take shortcuts. The dash bolts right off. I just replaced my heater core last month and if I were to do it again I could do it in a couple of hours.
Your problem sounds like it a blend door or vacuum issue. If coolant is going...
I don't see your post anywhere on CC
The loom really only goes one way across. The only excess you'll have is the radio/hvac portion that wraps around in the dash. Same with the HVAC ducts. There are only 4 and they all go into the front panel in set locations. 2 comes from the defroster up top...
