Looks similar enough, both 4.0 engines. It has a lot of slack in the distributor shaft but I feel like it should still run, even if poorly. Truck belongs to a neighbor who picked it up with fresh ignition components including cam position sensor. Looking at the coil wire, it throws spark...

I've looked at a lot of Jeeps, but only ever seen one factory bronze tinted back glass. I have a couple of sets of bronze side glass I'd like to use. I picked up some dark bronze polarized tint but have yet to install it. Has anyone ever tried to match this stuff?

I bought a complete 90 Laredo a few years back for $150 but never really did anything with it until I was compelled to get a title on it. I had built a nice rig out of one with a lien on it, and I was going to get a title on something, so this was it. The initial idea was to build the truck...

I have a very straight 96 two door with a 3" lift... and 225/75/15s. It looks sharp on 17" ATs, but the 2.5 can hardly push them. I'd like to swap the 2.5/AX5/231 for a 4.0/AW4/242. I have a YJ that needs an AX5, figured I'd just swap the whole mess as a complete assembly into it. This saves...

I'm in no hurry here because there's plenty more to do, but my alternator played the part of temporary engine support to get me out of the woods. The ground stud boss broke and wedged into the regulator in the back of the case, which made no difference until I jumped it a couple of times. It...

I probably got seven thousand miles out of my last NTK O2 downstream, and I replaced both as a pair. Bit the bullet and purchased a Denso unit because I really didn't feel like ordering another one, but now I think I can return the NTK to the exhaust because replacing it made little difference...

Greetings fellow four wheelers. I had the occasion of replacing the transmission in my 96 XJ with one from an 86 behind the 2.8. I can report that after swapping the bell housing, it bolted up just fine with my original clutch and release hardware. I had no trouble swapping the bell...

I have a 2001 with a complete, charged, blowing cold when I stole the engine AC system that's never going to see the road again. I have a 90 that stands a much better chance of being registered again, but it retains the original R12 system. Is there any reason I couldn't use the entire system...

I was convinced that my intermittent stalling problem was the pickup coil in the distributor, and replacing it seemed to make the difference, but suddenly the same problem appears. This time, I have the Standard box sitting in the back, so when it started acting up, I swapped pickups, and the...

I just replaced my radiator, and I have to say the Murray I found is a lot better than the original I pulled out. My water pump has been replaced, and after replacing my fan clutch, I fixed the original and put it back in recently. I also replaced both the coolant temp sensor and the temperature...

There doesn't seem to be much discussion in regards to using earlier manifolds on newer heads because I suppose most people go the other way. I just picked up a rebuilt 01 engine which runs beautifully for dirt cheap, but I need it in a 96. Should the ports on my HO manifolds be the same as...

Is there some cover I can remove to put some wood screws in it? Squirt belt dressing on it perhaps? Maybe JB Weld?

I'm tired of using back door arm rests on my 96 two door, and would like the loop provided in the Laredo variant. I have the basic pulls which are prone to breakage. I seem to recall that the top of the loop passes through a plastic bushing, which locks in when you rotate downward to put the...

I recently replaced my fuel pressure regulator with the one from Crown, and it lasted a day. Next day, it exhibited regulator issues. I put up with it for a week while out of town, but just inside of two thousand miles, it began to suffer while running as well as being hard to start. I...

My 96 2.5 XJ sat in a pasture for about five years. The fuel became a solid, but fortunately there wasn't much left at that point. I ran a 90 model sending unit for a while until I was able to repair the original with a new pump. I put a Carter pump in the tank with a new screen, and replaced...

If it isn't a performance upgrade, the only suggestionI've seen was Autozone. I'll happily live the rest of my life without walking into another one of those "places" again. I talked to my machinist, and they can order me one through Engine Tech for about $207. Bearings are $23. Lifters come out...

My 96 two door came to me with three inches of varnish in the fuel tank, and naturally, a non responsive fuel pump. So I clipped the pigtail, wired it to one from a 90, and dropped the whole assembly in. 90 model had the regulator on the rail, and also a different fuel level sending unit. Well...

Mine came out in pieces before I realized it wasn't in the kit. Looking at buying a $20 pump kit just for the rubber, is there any other way?

I replaced the pump on my 96 2.5 with one from an 89 4.0 recently. It worked great for a couple of weeks, but then started to make noise intermittently. Well, now it starts with rattling noises, then what sounds like full blown cavitation. I replaced the return line because it was spongy, but to...

Has anyone used the motor from a 4.0 starter on a 2.5? It looks close, but in the end, pan clearance determines all. It may even fit, but could be a squeeze going in and out. I ordered a brush set. Thinking the cap was the same on the 4.0 starter, same brushes even, I ordered a brush holder...
