2.5L Transmission Swap
omega_rugal replied to NCardwell's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
the 2.5 has the chevy pattern, with the right crossmember, you have a lot more options.... but with a 2.5+auto it means your rear axle is 3.55 or 4.10 so if you want better gas mileage you need an overdriven tranny and/or bigger tires... get an AX5... -
mmm seems coolant is not moving, are you sure you got the right water pump? how is the radiator? cold or hot? also, if the heater valve is leaking the system is not getting enough pressure to work...

Cooling the 4.0.. from inside?
omega_rugal replied to omega_rugal's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I has no thermostat, never had, a PO remove it...and for the record, it`s running with no fan, i`m in the middle of installing an efan... and it was 95F today and still is not cooking... -
before i start, this is not a request topic, or question or anything, just wanted to share something i noticed... as my signature says, my 4.0 has been running on LPG for over a year now, best mod i have done to it blah blah blah, i couldn`t find a good place to put the reducer but where the air box used to sit, that way the low pressure hose could reach the TB easily but in the same time made plumbing the coolant to the reducer immposible (i tried running the hoses over the engine but in a nut shell, didn`t go well) i tried warming the reducer by using a small pump and some hoses throught the radiator (where the transmission oil usually goes in an automatic) it worked, prevents icing as it should but during last winter proved insuffiecient... so i got an idea: remember the valve cover holes where the PCV thing goes? blowby gasses come out HOT and usually within a minute of starting so i routed one hose to the reducer, that worked wonders, the reducer usually gets a lil cold under load but that`s it, no more ice... it ran that way for a month i was happy with it but as happens with a Jeep, there`s always room for improvement, up to that point i simply routed the used blowby gasses outside the engine bay, but then i realized that they come out cold... so i put second hose to route them back in the air intake... at first nothing happend, it started and ran as usual so i though "meh looks cool, let`s leave it" but after doing some trips i noticed that the engine doesn`t get as hot as it usually does, i mean when i go to work i drive like 6 miles and at that point it`s a normal temp, but now i drive nonstop twice as far and gets less hot than before... so pumping cold air into the TB make sthe engine run cooler? or am i going crazy?

any black smore coming out the exhaust? does it smell like gasoline? also check for mini leaks in the entire line, a small unoticed leak overtime can lower MPGs too
-
any problems running cold? bad MPGs? lack of power?

Throttle body rebuild or replace?
omega_rugal replied to Ant_mant's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
can`t find an specific one in ebay, most come as spacers for HO manifold to HO TB....but it`s not difficult to make one with common tools, i made a similar thing out of wood to mate the renix TB with the mixer for my propane setup- 8 replies

Throttle body rebuild or replace?
omega_rugal replied to Ant_mant's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
try to clean it thorughtly first... if still doesn`t work as it should, you may need a HO adapter, as you are more likely to find used HO for cheap...- 8 replies
