Old thread, but my dad had a 95 3500 V10 auto ext cab long bed dually for 15 years. It would get 10mpg. City. Highway. Towing 8000lbs. Didn't seem to matter. With gas hitting $1.55 at the moment, the fact that you can get a Ram of that vintage for 1/2 or less of a diesel, its a good deal - at...

PM box = full

Plan on keeping this keep forever so I got a new CPS and new injectors. Will bag the current one. Brake lines were a good suggestion, mine are looking crusty. Got hex versions of the top two trans bellhousing bolts since those were a PITA.

As someone who has restored a 92 Lebaron GTC Turbo, welcome to the "we love it and know we're never getting our money back" club. Fantastic attention to detail.

Wow, thanks for the great response! I just bought new mounts (from brown dog, already ordered before post), stant (super)thermostat, cap and sensors. I think I have a spare set of plugs. I'll get an '00 Durango alt and see if that works. Can't seem to find the flexplates other than one at...

227k on a 2000 XJ and the ol' 4.0 decided it didn't like one of its piston skirts anymore. I'm replacing the alternator (anyone know the compatibility of an upgrade for a 2000, I'm finding a lot of info on earlier ones with different plugs) Wiring upgrade if so Starter - just NAPA or is...

Old thread, but I am trying to wire one of these up. This picture here is very helpful, but I can't tell the bottom pins. Here is what I gather: Pin 1 - Black Pin 2 - Pink Pin 3 - N/A Pin 4 - VT/LG Pin 5 - VT/BR Pin 6 - WT/BK Pin 7 - Yellow Pin 8 - N/A Pin 9 - N/A Pin 10 - BK/BL? Pin 11 -...

DE - where did you get that billet aluminum looking filter in the diesel (the green mounts part number comes up as a fuel filter btw)? The donaldson fits the aluminum right? Looking to do this in my XJ. Thanks!!!

Thanks jneary. I put my spare ECU from off the shelf. No issue (except the CEL turned on, I assume from the foreign computer). Put in old computer. Light goes out, idles, take a test drive, all fine. Thing was just messing with me I guess.

Alright, and if I sound all antsy about a simple problem, its because I'm going to drive this 5 hours tomorrow in this is bad timing for an issue!

My battery died while I was putting in a new trackbar. Charged it up a little, and went to start it. Strong cranking, but no start. Took me giving it some gas to get it to fire. It idles fine now - unless you are at 0mph. You can be going along at 1mph, but once you come to a complete stop, it...

Alright, so worst case scenario, I might have to have it towed to a locksmith or find one that can do it mobile. Or I have the locks for the good ignition's car doors. Could go either way I suppose. Thanks guys.

I think I just answered part of my question - I had a blank key (as in no plastic covering), just a piece of brass, and it started the Jeep. I let it run for longer than 3 sec and it stayed running. I guess all I need to know now is about the keying situation.

I am looking to buy a Jeep that had its column broken and I have another one out of a cherokee, but was wondering if these XJ's had the passkey system. My key is just black, not gray, but I want to make sure. Also, can columns be re-keyed or do I have to have all the doors/hatch done? This is a...

I never realized I got more posts on this thread. I actually sold it for $1400! It would have made it to Chicago, I drove it 2 hrs/day.

Yeah, I seemed so concerned back then, but it ended up being a true walk in the park.

I should mention ive checked the relay

I've narrowed down my problem to the jeep not getting power from my factory harness. If I hardwire it to 12v it will spin happy and the jeep will run fine. Someone said it was a ballast resistor on the pass. side, but I dont see anything like that in the entire engine bay. I dont have the FSM...

lol at the ice comment. It has 161k, dunno on the lift or driveshaft. I can't get it to start now, I believe its not getting spark. Price drops to $1200.

The good: Runs/drives great. Fires right up. Little lift. With the exception of the rockers and front floorboards, its a really nice straight body. The paint is good, looks faded due to the sun and dirt, but its really not. The bad: No front driveshaft, has to be started using starter wire...
