Working on an AMC Eagle with a transplanted 4.0 from a 1990 Cherokee. It has been parked 10 or 15 years and I am trying to get it running smoothly again. I have it running and driving but it idles rough, stalls when you stop and shudders from time to time under acceleration. Fuel pressure at...

Anyone have a link to a detailed drawing with dimensions of the front hubs? My TSM/FSM shows detailed drawings but without percise measurements. I'm working on a custom project designed around an XJ wheel and will need to build a new hub from scratch as it's driven from a keyed shaft. Most...

Just got an '00XJ and the cruise ain't working. The green cruise light does light up on the cluster but the cruise doesn't function. All fuses are good in both fuse blocks. What's most likely to be the culprit?

I have a 4.2 I6 and I am swapping a 4.0 head(#7120) onto the block. Besides the manifolds, what all do I need to yank from a parts XJ to make the fuel injection system work reliably on a 4.2 engine? Which system will work better as a stand alone system, the RENIX or the '91-'96 system? Should I...

While rumaging thru the junkyard yesterday I found a RENIX XJ that had the instrument panel with the idiot lights instead of actual gauges. In the change holder compartment forward of the shifter there was a panel with 3 holes each about the size of a quarter. Looked like some sort of factory...

Looking to throw a 1990 Renix head and fuel injection system on a 4.2L I6. I have a brand new 4.2 short block and a 1990 4.0XJ with a seized crank at my disposal. It's all going into an FSJ that had a carb'd 258 at one point. I would like to use as many parts that I already have on hand as...

Found this and could not stop laughing, dunno if it has been posted or not http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=102133

Out of the half a dozen 5spd transmissions that could directly bolt up to an AMC V8 which would survive best behind a mildly built 401? AX5, T5, NV3550, Pugeot(NOPE), AX15 are about all I can think of. Am I missing any? Thanks!

Hey all, looking for measurements for a 97-01 dash. Length, width, height and depth. I'm putting a late model XJ drivetrain into a J10 and I figured "Why not do the dash while I'm at it?" I probably won't hook up the airbags, don't know yet. Also, if anyone has a TJ, could I maybe get some...

Looking thru the boneyard and found a 2.5L XJ with a warning sticker on the dash stating that the jake brake was most effective between 1500 and 3500 RPM's. So what's the deal with this? The Jeep must have been pre-87 due to the AMC logos on everything but I could be wrong. For a 4 banger it...

I'm on the interstate this morning and see a car carrier loaded to the brim with white police XJ's, still had the white scracth guard sheets on them. So are XJ's being built secretly still for police use or were these just rehabbed late models? They honestly looked new with no rust, dents or any...

2 friends of mine just broke the NP231's on their wranglers, one's a YJ and one's a TJ. The TJ is a 4 banger with an AX-5 featuring a 21 spline output shaft and the YJ is an AX-15 so it's a 23 spline. Will an NP231 or NV242 from any year XJ w/AX-15 work on the YJ? For the TJ will any of the...

Who needs doors for their XJ? I have one mint set of white ones with a black vinyl stripe that can be removed and I have a really nice pair on a 2 door XJ that are silver. A little bit of surface rust on the bottom edge of the passenger door but no thru rot.

So how do you remove one of the block heaters that go in the freeze plug without destroying it? I'd like to remove it from a parts Jeep and put it on my DD. Thanks

I have access to a police XJ with 79K, some parts gone but it has a 115MPH 'speed calibrated' speedometer, colum shift automatic, vinyl floors, PERFECT headliner and some other stuff too if anyone's interested.

Today me and a buddy went to Wally world and we weren't in long. When we came out we noticed his Jeep looked different, much different and much to our surprise somebody stole the rear end out from under the truck but they were kind enough to leave the tires supporting the rear springs. The...

I'm running a ps fluid cooler and an engine oil cooler. The last couple of nights/mornings it's been in the single digits, so can I over cool the engine or the PS pump or should I not worry about it? I only wonder because the oil& PS coolers are on the jeep are meant to cool it down in HOT...

As of late I've bursted open the tiny rad hose that goes to the thermostat 3 times. It's been replaced within the past 2 years and the original lasted from when the truck was built. I just don't get it, I can tow 5Klbs in and out of the mtns while maintaining highway speed in 120* heat but the...

Just like the title says, what's the price of gas like out there to ya'll Wyoming guys? Looks like I will be headed out that way sometime next month, just wanted to get an idea of what to expect. Payin 2.30ish here.........

A buddy of mine has a 97 ZJ, 4.0 auto(unsure of the trans) and the NV249 IIRC. It has Full Time AWD, Neutral& Low. Anyways he wants to swap in either an NP231 or NV242 from an XJ. I'm about 99% sure it'll work as everything underneath XJ's & ZJ's are the same. Anyone here try this or know...
