I'm babysitting 165 tons of commercial refrigeration equipment, on call for work. We put 300 lbs of R507 in it today just to keep it running......and adding 200 more lbs tomorrow. Sometimes I really hate my job :headpop: Y'all have fun! Jeff

oooops.... :oops: We all have our moments Don....it's just when the moments become more frequent that you have to start worrying ;) Jeff

Do you have an open or closed cooling system? If it's open, you can relocate the stock resivoir to the passenger side firewall area, right above the HVAC fan motor like I did. I've got some pics, lemme dig them up and I'll post them. It fits like a glove there. Cost = two pieces of wire to extend the pump motor wiring ;) Jeff edit: Image Not Found Image Not Found

Big problem is I don't have anywhere (close) to stash it. If this were back around thanksgiving last year when I totaled my DD, I'da bought it instead of the TJ, and wouldn't have a car payment now...... :cry:

My MJ is not a DD anymore. I "had" a '94 1.9L Escort that just sipped gas (averaged between 36-40 mpg in varied driving). My wife ended up inheriting her new Subaru due to a death in the family, and I took her Kia Spectra (30-35 mpg) and sold the Escort for $700 cash because we didn't need 4 vehicles. Totaled the Kia last Thanksgiving :headpop: and ended up buying the TJ. It gets 20 mpg average.....not too bad, but I do miss the econoboxes. Jeff

I'm gonna go take a look at it this weekend hopefully (with a tape measure)

My wife might just kill me, but I'm having a hard time deciding not to grab this http://www.eastcoast4wd.net/forums/show ... #post41388 and it's red, too......it'll match the fleet :D Jeff

It's one of those little $5 parts that you will kick yourself for not replacing if it goes bad down the road........ ;) Jeff

Cool, thanks. I've got a brand new XJ sending unit with pump to work with. I was just looking at the 2.5 pump and bracket when I had it out recently, and wondered if a 4.0 pump would bolt into it. Now I know.... :cheers: Jeff p.s. I'm gonna have to make a roadtrip one of these weekends down to check out your MJ. I'm jealous ;)

fuel pump question..... Did you just swap the 4.0 pump onto the 2.5 bracket, or swap entire assemblies? If you swapped pumps, how did you mount it on the 2.5 bracket? And if you swapped assemblies, is that an XJ or MJ assembly you have pictured there? How'd you make that work? That's the last piece of the logistical puzzle I hafta figure out for my 4.0 swap, what to do with the fuel pump. I just replaced the 2.5 pump in mine about a month or so ago :headpop: (so I know it's good and brand new) and was going to initially try it and see if it will supply enough pressure to the injectors (two others who have done 2.5/4.0 swaps and said they didn't swap pumps, but I would only do it temporarily). Thanks, Jeff

I just spit my lunch out laughing at that one........sorry! :D Jeff

It's all a setup, see....... they're just bringing it back to da 'Burg for the final game of the series :D almost makes me want to go home this weekend, but seeing as how it's a Sunday game, I'd be in no shape to drive back to VA for work on Monday.... ;) gonna be a good TV weekend for hockey, both series ahhhhhh....Lookout Loretta! Jeff

<> that game last night was ugly...... :oops: Jeff

as a third backup for you.....I'll be starting a 4.0 swap on my 2.5 MJ here within a couple of weeks. Once I pull the 2.5 wiring harness and replace with the 4.0, I'll have a spare 2.5 ECU. If you need it, let me know. Jeff

Tom, Fuel, air, spark, compression...... You have spark, and air (unless a family of squirrels have taken up residence inside the manifold :D ). I doubt you've lost compression, so that leads to fuel. Your pump may be supplying adequate pressure to the TB, but the injector may not be working. Verify fuel pressure to the TB, and if it checks out, suspect the TB wiring. Hook an analog meter to the two posts on the injector (back probe them) and have someone crank the engine...you should see the meter needle sweep back and forth, confirming voltage pulses to the injector. If not, you may have a break in the wiring to it. Glad to see you're still around :cheers: Jeff

I just had the windscreen replaced in the wife's car (Subaru Legacy) by a local, owner-operator company this past weekend. The guy actually came to our house on Saturday and did the work in the driveway. We got to talking about the MJ, which has two chips in it that I've had sealed in lieu of replacement glass for fear of the molding clips. He said he could get the clips (was very familiar with them, I was impressed) in bags of about 150 each, if needed. He also suggested switching to the newer glass with the gasket (and eliminating the trim) out of later model XJ's. If enough folks were interested, I could call him and order a bag of clips and we could split them up to whoever needed them..... Jeff

Game #3......4-1 Pens :cheers: Hallelujia Hollywood! Jeff

you'll need to jumper the wiring for the NSS for fire. On the bottom set of wires on the connector, jump the two inside wires together (black and white wires, IIRC). Jeff

I've got a couple PCI modems (NIB) if you want them, and I think I even have an external one, if you have a spare COM port on one of them and can use it. Lemme know and I'll send them yer way.... Jeff

X2 I've got an 89 harness from an auto, ready to go into my 87 5 speed. The only difference is an extra harness that goes from the ECU to the TCU under the dash, and to the tranny wiring. Jeff

:roll: :nuts: deja va for game two.......4-2 again. I miss Mike Lange, used to be able to pick his broadcast up on the 'net :cry: Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one too! Jeff

Pens, 4-2 :thumbsup:

4-2, almost end of the 2nd period. Call Arnold Slick from Turtle Crick!!! :cheers: :D Jeff

Last night was an "all-out" edition. Winner walked away with $10 grand plus 7K worth of tools..... Jeff

I have one of the E7091 assemblies (bought from a club member), new in box. It is a Cherokee pump assembly. Jeff
