mopar gear oil is synthetic

basically the crush sleeve provides the proper turning torque for the pinion gear. if you remove the pinion nut you are supposed to replace the crush sleeve. when I was in school we used about a 6 foot breaker bar to get the sleeve to crush. it takes about 500 ft lbs. The flat rate method...

I checked the vent tubes from the valve cover to the intake. they seem to be ok, I did replace them within the past year. I still cant figure out how I am getting do much condensation in there. it never used to be like that.

That makes perfect sense, I have seen condensation on oil fill caps before and that is exactly what this looks like, but I drive 25 miles each way to work, in rush hour traffic. one drive cycle lasts 30-40 min. so why doesn't the condensation burn off?

I checked it last week, and then I checked it again this morning and the condition still has not changed

I have a 93 xj 4.0 187,000 miles and recently, as the engine warms up from a cold startup, the temp gauge will get up to about 225, then back to normal. It stays at 210 after that and has never overheated. I think that I have a bad thermostat because my upper hose stays cool until the temp...

yeah, it could be a bad ground at the wiper motor. also check the circuit breaker for corrosion in the fuse block.

before you replace the water pump, check the underside of the hose that goes from the overflow tank to the radiator filler neck, if it is worn through you will get a coolant leak that seems like a water pump leaking. just something to look at to maybe save you a couple of bucks.

it takes about 200 lock to lock turns to bleed the system. that is still a self bleeding system but that is how it self bleeds

My 93 has some issues with the 1-2 selection. sometimes when I put it it 1-2 at speeds above 25mph, it will go immediatley into 1st gear. sometimes it will stay in drive and not even downshift to second. other times it will immediately downshift to 2nd and when it hits about 25mph it goes to...

the cam sensor is called a CPS and the crank sensor is called the CKP

I must apoligize, I misread the first post, speciffically about the loss of speedo and tach, I thought that you were suggesting a cluster would fix any problem related to a loss of bus communication. Now I agree with what you are saying.

that message means that the vehicle has lost the "bus". The bus is the communication system that the vehicle uses so that each module can communicate with one another without a whole bunch of wires. The cluster, overhead console, door module, power seat module, trans controller, body...
