Can this header be welded?

Have a new CPS, new tbs to go in, checking the IAC tomorrow.

The speed censor, is that what tells me my mph? Cause my speedo no worky.

Bingo! Sounds like a likely candidate. Did it stop working about the same time the stalling started?

Well yeah, I had to swap speedo units, see I had a 93 2wd Ax-15, I swapped that out for an 89 AX-15/231 so I took out the cable driven speedo and put the eletrical one in. However it doesn't work, but didn't think much of it causeing any problems so havent messed with it. I didn't know if the swap would work or not, so figured if it didn't I would just find a 93 4wd speedo to put in.

So you think this is what is causing my stalling issue?

you could weld it. it might help to run a flex pipe before the down pipe to help prevent future breakage.

Yes, I do think the speedo is related as the computer uses that input to figure out if you're moving or stopping. I have seen a few other posts with people mentioning stalling in relation to a bad VSS.

I don't know if the 2wd speedo sensor works in the xfer case. I do know that the sensor housing has to be rotated to the correct position depending on what speedo gear it has. You might just need to rotate it so it engages?

Looks like the part number on the VSS for a 93 XJ is the same regardless of whether it's in the AX15 or in the xfer case. 5234422. I'm thinking it may not be installed in the correct orientation or the wiring got damaged (not long enough to reach back to the xfer case?). http://www.tomco-inc.com/Catalog/vehicle speed sensors.pdf

i jb welded up my old header, and it didnt last 5 minutes down the road. i have also tried just about every exhaust fix that napa carried. nothing worked. i paid a little over a hundred bucks for an apn header that is going great. i also replaced a very badly deteriorated motor mount (did both of them and there was 1/4" of rubber left in the ds one.)

heres what you need.. ive installed 2 of these and they are excellent quality.. i noticed he increased his prices by $20 in the last few months.

it's worth spending the $$ now before you put it back together dont you think??

92xjDean has two of what appears to be that same manifold. Price looks a bit better as well.

I went with another high temp epoxy for the crack in my manifold, and it was a waste of time as well. Rated at something like 2000*F, but failed regardless.

Well I'm not tearing it apart. not now, If I do it's a banks hedder going on, but I got someone ho said he would weld it up, so going to have him take care of it tomorrow. But changing the IAC censor out tomorrow to see if that corrects the stalling. The speedo does not yet work, I tried rotating it and what not so IDK, mess with it later tomorrow as well.

I don't believe the '89 has anything internally for the VSS to "read"

it uses a magnetic pick-up IIRC and the '89 only has the drive gear for the mechanical cable

So should I swap the cable one back in? And add the old cluster?

Both are gear driven, but the 89 and 93 have different speedo gears, so perhaps it's a matter of putting the longer speedo gear from the 89 on there? http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm

Well it is welded, thanks to samurai2240, even did it in the jeep, and it no longer leaks.
It however wasn't the fix for the stalling. I later got a IAC from dalovva and switched it with mine and it fixed the problem for about 20 mins. Then left his place and the jeep started stalling again, so got pissed and unplugged that stupid shit, and well it cured my problem no more stalling, so good enough for me.

Well have to look into that. Thanks for the info.
