  4. Gents, Good morning. I am looking for all the interior plastics in light gray. I've managed to get my hands on a dash and center console off a 94 xj 4 door. Not to mention the doors as well. Just looking for everything else. Please let me know if you have anything and price. Thanks
  5. I use nothing but the 50/50 sold at any store.But thank you for this! I will put the thermostat back on before working on the water pump. Just some buddies and my dad suggested that it works better without the thermostat and I have it a shot. AMC/Jeep payed engineers a lot of money to design a cooling system that works the most efficiently it can. Just like every manufacturer also, A thermostat was designed to help the cooling system. Car manufactures don't like wasting money, they are trying to cut cost in every way they can to stay competitive in a market saturated with to many competitors. They are not going to waste one dime on putting something in a car that does not need to be if they can help it. The thermostat in a car is just as important as the radiator and water pump. Put a new one back in there and one rated to the temp that it came from the factory with. I believe it was 190. Also, How many miles is on the engine and is it the 4 or 6 cylinder. Has it been showing any signs of head gasket failure? Loosing coolant, sweet smell in the exhaust, not running smooth? Yeah, that makes sense. I'll be putting one on this weekend. It's a 4.0 4x4 It hasn't been doing that. It runs very smooth. It has 140k miles on it. Someone had told me that the filter might be affecting it but I have a K&N Intake I just added last month so it's pretty new

  7. It might be reading wrong but it even smells hot. But as soon as I take off it starts cooling again. I'll try revving it. See if that helps. Thank you
  8. Exactly. 1 outside and 2 inside. I put the fan after it was heating up. It helped a little bit
  9. :dunno: I have a 99 xj that is that is my daily driver for the moment as i finish my 87 MJ but shes giving me problems. It had been overheating for a bit so i took off the thermostat, changed the radiator, installed a 12inch electric fan in front of the radiator sucking in air from the outside in, changed the AC fan, put a new fan clutch and a new fan. All of that kinda did the trick. I am driving and the temperature is slightly under 210, as soon as I stop in traffic or stoplight the temperature goes up over 210. What could be the problem? It doesnt leak coolant. is my water pump going bad? Is it a bigger problem than that? Thanks :banana: . :MJ 1: .

  11. I got my manche for $300 off a guy on CL. He swore there was nothing wrong with it other than he couldn't start it. I changed the CPS and started right up. Took off the carpet and saw a HUGE hole on the drivers side. Stupid me didn't see that before I bought it. It was a 4 cylinder manual. I'm doing a 92 swap. Everything from the Cherokee is going on to my MJ before i took it home After its been home for 6 months :wrench:
