Same thing here, I was blowing a quart of oil out the RMS and airbox every 150 miles till a week ago. I fixed it by reconnecting the front CCV hose to the airbox properly... mine had come loose so I had no real vacuum on it. I still have a little bit of an RMS leak but nowhere near as bad now. This could also be it :dunno: Maybe a bit of that carbon you found got stuck in the CCV orifice or something? Try removing those lines and hosing them out with throttle body cleaner?

Looking for a rust free (or very lightly rusted) short wheel base spare tire winch and a fuel pump assembly (everything that goes inside the tank) to fit a 91 SWB 4.0L. Make offers... I'd prefer local, but if you'll ship I will pay shipping. The pump doesn't have to work, I really just need the metal bracket bit with the bulkhead that is held in by the locking ring. EDIT - got everything, in great shape from both parties! Thanks a ton guys (I'm really jealous of the rust free south now)

Do you mean XJ-Maki? Bic is a member of my club!! CW The very same. Probably one of the best-built MJs I've ever seen in person.

Just the pump, or the whole assembly? My problem is that the assembly is so rusted it is on the edge of failure... my pump works great, in fact I drove it to work today. I can find a million people selling the pump but a new bracket/bulkhead/level sender assembly is rather more difficult :(

:hijack: I went to replace the fuel tank on my MJ last night and discovered that the fuel pump assembly (the steel bulkhead bit that clips into the tank, specifically) is so rusty that I am afraid if I touch it, it will break in half. Clearly a new one is needed. Finding a place to buy one though... wow, it's kinda hard. The dealership says it's discontinued and has been for a long time. RockAuto says they have it (Bosch 67328) but it's $350! :eek: and it looks like they are cross referencing the Cherokee one to fit an MJ as well. I am afraid that the baffle/pan/bucket in the bottom of the new tank I got (the spectra SWB one, JP5B or JP4B I forget, it's definitely the right tank though) is in the wrong spot because the spare pump I have for my 96 XJ won't fit in properly, and I am pretty sure all pre-97 XJ tanks are interchangeable. Am I overthinking this? Should I just buy the assembly (amazon has the same one for 200 something) and stop worrying? Has anyone used the Bosch 67328 assembly successfully? For what it's worth, the cheapest I found was the Spectra tank, rockauto has it for a decent price.

I got my dana 30 hubs out by whacking the crap out of them, as has been said. Put a cheap socket on the head of the bolt if you're reusing it and get out the 4lb hand sledge... turning the wheel to one side then the other will help you get a better angle on them. Once they start moving, it usually is pretty easy to get them out. I wouldn't want to use anything less than a 3lb hammer, that's for sure. While you're in there, replace the U-joint maybe? At that point you might as well just to avoid going through the whole rigamarole again. Load the hub up with antiseize before you put it back in though just in case :wavey:

Yeah, I discovered that when I got in the MJ right after posting that :shake: I flipped the visor down and there it was, I have that option and hadn't even realized it yet :D Thanks for the info about where the wiring is, good to know ahead of time. I find time at work to be on here because I fly a desk... I'm a computer engineer and some of the time I'm either waiting for code to compile or waiting for a test to complete and pretty much just drumming my fingers on the desk, or on here/NAXJA. Yeah I pulled mine out to see if it was just a bad bulb. Contacts are corroded well past usefulness, bulbs were bad, and all the plastic clips that held them in broke off when I removed them, even though I was extremely careful. I think I'm probably going to just go the route someone in this thread did and replace the lights with aftermarket ones that cover the hole.

Awesome! Thanks! I'm already quite familiar with the madness... I don't want to know how many thousands of dollars I've put into my XJ :D Just picked up the MJ in rough shape after helping a friend limp it along for a few months, I hope to do a functional restoration on it. If it's anything like an XJ (which I expect) I would just be looking for pink and yellow wires (constant +12 and switched ground) and I suspect the door jamb switches are the same as an XJ also, but from what you're saying those are working fine so I won't worry about them. Leaving work in a few minutes, so I'll take a stab at it. Also - I'll be pulling the A/B pillar trim to swap out my headliner soon, and my sun visors are bagged out, I'm thinking of replacing them with some of the same length from a junker 94-96 XJ with lighted mirrors, am I going to be in for a little wiring doing this (no big deal) or is there a pink wire up there to plug into? I'm not sure lighted mirror sunvisors were ever offered on the MJ...

Central MA here - already met TekkaMaki (Makki? I forget) at the last NAXJA event at Wright's Farm in RI, and by chance at Sam's pull-a-part a month or two ago. Just picked up my MJ on Monday :clapping:

Found CC via Google while looking for info on these lights... I've been on NAXJA for a while, was recommended to join CC a few months back when I became the maintainer of an MJ I now own. Resurrecting this thread for an ultra stupid question, and a not so stupid question! Stupid first - how do I get the lamp sockets for these out of the panels? I tried prying gently with a key, but chickened out before they came out because I really don't want to break anything on this MJ, it's got enough problems to fix already! Looks to me like they just have a retention clip at each end? Should I just man up and pry away? Not so stupid - are they controlled separately from the lamps under the dash? The lamps under the dash over both the passenger and driver foot areas work great, but both upper interior lights on the B pillars don't work. I can't decide if it's just that they are on a separate switch I haven't found yet, or that I got lucky and both are burnt out. EDIT: just read the "every MJ owner should know this" thread, will try the socket turning trick and mess around with it a little bit when I get out of work...
