ratrapp

things like sending units and sensors need to be oem.i put 3 coolant gauge switchs in my stepdaughters 96 ford contour.all three read different and wrong.an oem ford switch fixed it.

my grandmother bought it when it had 8k miles on it and less than ayear old.the original owner traded it in on a new mustang convertible at the local ford dealership.my grand mother drove it until my grandfather couldn't drive a stick shift anymore so then he drove it.then he had his licensce taken away so it got passed to me in early 2000 and i've been driving it ever since and will until either me or it's not able.it's only got 173k miles so i figure it's good for a few more.

i put their 4.5 lift on my buddys 04 rubicon.the sway bar links are junk and after 6 months the track bar heim joints are shot.thank god i got away from lifted jeeps after my last 79 cj7 and 77 cj5.

the part #for the a/t kit is 83-100-066 and for a manual is 83-100-063

i did a valve job on an early 90s 4.3 astro van about year and half ago.about a week later the rear main started pouring and he was out of money.i told him to try the bars leak stuff.he added one can and it slowed it down.another can later and it stopped.it doesn't leak till this day.i wouldn't use it on my stuff but don't wouldn't hold it against anybody for trying it.

when i go to work tommorow i'll get the mopar part# off the box for you.i ran it through my shop account and it cost me about$89.try to run it through a garage account and save yourself some money.

did notice this afternoon when i went to leave work that i slightly held the throttle open and it cranked right up.need to do more investigation.

my carter had gotten loud and it died just a month ago.i replaced it with an airtex and it's pretty quiet so far.

right range plugs,same champion plugs that i've always run.injectors i may give a try.i've replaced 4 of them but i did ntice that when it's hard to start that it does blow a little black smoke out of the tailpipe when it does finally start like it had lightly flooded.i may start it up and let it run a while and cut it off and pull the rail and injectors out and see if any of them leak gas out.the crankshaft sensor is a mopar piece that they made a tsb for renix style 4.0 that eliminates the bulkhead connector and improves the crank signal but unfortunatly that wasn't my case.

88 4.0 renix.when it's cold or parked overnight it starts right up which kind of eliminates the fuel pump leaking down.i just replaced the crankshaft sensor with the mopar one that straight wires it to the computer.i thought that fixed it but it started doing it again.when i drive it to work and it sits 9 hours before i restart it i have to crank it several time before it fires.it cranks over fine,just won't hit.i even tried cycling the key several times before i crank it to see if it's the fuel pump dropping pressure but it doesn't help.i just replaced the plugs cap and rotor when i replaced the head with a ho model.it done it before i replaced the head so i can't lie fault with that.i have never replaced the coil/module or the pick-up plate in dist. but i did replace the dist about 10 years ago because of corrosion in it.any suggsetions appreciated.

did he have the gasket flipped over?if so the top holes won't line up but the bottoms will.

i've got the brown dog mounts and they are kinda harsh.maybe the softer of the two styles would be better.i cheaped out and got the classic style because the softer ones were a little more expensive.in hindsight i should've got the softer ones.

foung gas pedal at pick n pull

looking for a 91 up cherokee gas pedal and aw4 kickdown cable to finish up my ho head &99 up intake project.

well i'm on the search for a gas pedal.i used the kickdown cable but it's at max adjustment but it does shift like before.it'll work until i can get one.i wish that all the posts on doing this conversion would have mentioned the gas pedal.i was just at the pick n pull thursday and would've got one.

finally doing my 93 ho-head and 99-up intake swap today.ran into a few snags.i replaced the throttle cable with one from a 91-96 4.0 cherokee but it only opens the throttle halfway.do i need to replace the gas pedal itself from a 91 up cherokee?also my kickdown cable appears to be too short.do i need one from a 91 up aw4 as well?everything else is done(fuel rail,power steering pump tps adapter)just these last 2 things.

when i worked at the jeep dealership a few years ago,the only time we needed a case spreader was on the dana 44 s that came in the newer wj jeeps.they were a b*@$£ to get out and put back in.

it's hard to check volume without the vehicle running unless you jump the relay over.i've been a mechanic at a jeep dealer for 5 years and worked in independent shops for the last 10.i regularly check fuel volume with the car running.my snap-on fuel pressure gauge has a hose with a relief valve that i stick in a jug to check the fuel flow.if in doubt have a helper hold the hose ina jug for you.

you need to check fuel volume,not just pressure.if you fuel gauge has a relief valve then turn the hose into a bucket and hold the valve open while running and see if the jeep bogs down or completely cuts off.you can have pressure but no volume.

it also said fits cherokee and we know they are different.

i used the airtex pump in mine just a few weeks ago.i used the stuff in the kit and it fit fine.the oem mopar is discontinued unfortunatly.

my buddy gave $300 for my bed.it was rust free and had only a few ping dents.it also was the same color and pioneer stripe package.

i broke down and bought an airtex pump friday.my truck hasn't started this good in 3 years.it definitly feels like it pulls better.it used to struggle going uphill or first thing in the morning.that's all gone now.it's been like this ever since my mopar pump died and i started using the carter brand.i am going to go ahead and replace the ballast resistor since it is original but i think i'm okay now.

i just had my 3rd bosch fuel pump fail in 3 years yesterday.i called mopar and they said the pump was discontinued and showed none in inventory anywhere.i replaced the gas tank about 5-6 years ago and i relace the fuel filter every 2 years.the federated store will warranty my pump again but frankly i'm tired of replacing it.has anybody had good luck out of another brand(i already know carters are junk)or replaced the bosch style with a walboro style?

looking for a good working spare tire winch for my 88 longbed,thanks
