Good thinking. Do you happen to know what years interchange? I have from a '84 to a '01.

Automatic-Srandard. Aren't they the same?

Dryer vent duct. Works great and is cheaper than auto parts prices.

Congrats Don. It's always great when you have kids you can brag on and be proud of.

IT was credited to George Carlin. It was in one of his routines.

Don. Do you do the morning newspaper Crossword and crypto grams? That was the puzzle quote in this mornings.

"And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth." Then he made the earth round. And he laughed and laughed and laughed." :laughin: :laughin: :laughin: :laughin:

$2000? There goes the neighborhood. :laughin:

Looks like George Carlin to me.

I have wondered that myself. The shock thingy on the right front of the engine is a torque absorber. Only reason I can think of for it is the 2.5 mounts may not be hefty enough for the job. I have drove a XJ with both missing and never noticed any thing unusual in the handling. Highway only. No cross country.

How do you know for sure the springs are whats' giving it the lift and not spacers?

Just general information. Household voltage is 60 CPS. That's 3600 cycles in one minute. Take a filament transformer, or any device that will knock the 115VAC from the wall socket down to 6 VAC. When attached to a tach it will produce a reading of 3,600 RPM.

There is a steel rod, brace on the right side of the engine. One end fits through the lower, right hand hole in the bell housing and runs up and forward to the motor mount. That's it. The threaded end fits into the bellhousing. The other end is attached to the motor mount with a bolt.

I never even thought about it. Just assumed a 4.0 block was a 4.0 block and although the accessories might be different the blocks were all the same. I have a '89MJ needs a engine. I have a '98 and a '01ZJ with a good engine. Somebody want to come swap them for me? Settle the problem of knowing. :brows:

:agree: Would loved to have been there.

Well now that just depends. You can take a engine that came out of a dealers show room this morning and swap it in, IF, you know what you're doing, got the time and experience and possibly some help. You will either have to down grade the later engine to Renix specs or upgrade your Jeeps wiring, electronics to the later specs. Also the necessary mechanical mods needed. Did I mention deep pockets? In my humble opinion the easiest way would be to stay with the 4.0 engine and down grade it to Renix specs.

Aw,, don't be to hard on them. At least they spelled 'Jeep" correct.

COMANCHE?? Wouldn't own one of them junkers if you were giving them away. :yes:

No collar or bushing. It just pushes in and snaps. Notice the ridge on the tip?

I've got others. i just grabbed that one because it was easy to get to. Or can't you use your old hose?

The hole in the rear axle housing is 5/16" The fitting the hose fits on is 3/16 and straight, not elbowed. there is a bushing there to make up the diff.

They look the same, from the outside. Let me go pull one and see.

Don. It's a press fit. Not threaded. Considering it's plastic, think brittle, I think I would fab something up, inserting a metal pipe or tubing into the hole, 3/16th in, and attaching a hose to it. I do have one if you want it.

The recommended torque is 65 in lbs. It is not recommended leaving a bolt out. They're there for a reason. That said, i have done it. Gunked the heck out of the gasket with RTV and put it back together.Don't over tighten the 2 bolts on either side of the missing one. Same torque as all the others. Really recommend you repair the hole and install a bolt there.
