Yeah its quite the difference especially when you don't change your spark plugs when you should. I accidentally reset my trip-meter when I was at 36 miles and I am at 130 miles with little under half a tank left. Damn, 166 miles from a little over full(I blame the sender and 16 gallon tank) to a little under half is good for the 2.5L. And I only drive about 8 miles to and from work which I feel isnt enough distance to justify good mileage but hey, as long as I don't have to fill up often.

Another one is being built. I kinda have these things down now. I might consider opening up to anyone else who is interested, but you will have to provide your own console, so long as the front half after the E-brake is in good shape. That being said, you will need the duct, lower dash vent and the black bezel.

I was seeing pretty poor mileage after a couple years of being on the same spark plugs. I was averaging 260 miles per tank or less depending on how harsh I was to the gas pedal. Then after realizing I havent done the spark plugs for a couple years after remembering my comment about how hard it will be to change spark plug one after I installed AC, I was seeing 240 per tank for the year with AC and then it started dipping below that seeing about 220 per tank. Now I should see 260 after this recent fill up with the new plugs.

Me. It’s easier to get through me, won’t charge list price, only what I pay for but it takes longer.

From my latest cheap alternator buy:

MoPar. There’s some left.

Oh yeah. That’s the beauty and fun with the 2.5L. I almost wonder if upgrading the ECU to an 87-90 will benefit an 86 set up. If you can find a 2.5L TBI book, will save you a headache and a half.

Following. I’m pretty knowledge able about the little mighty 2.5L. Your build sheet indicated it was Throttle Body Injection unless the previous owner switched it to a carb(don’t know why, it’s garbage and I have the carbed version that will be upgraded to TBI) but those engines are pretty reliable and easy to work on. When you get it back in your hands I will be more than happy to help keep that engine ticking.

Probably a resistor or something. I have a clock torn apart and one of the resistors is bad.

Should have that buddy get to reproducing those for us.

Sending PM.

Mopar XJ cupholder.

Tell you what. If you find one and send it to me, we can talk shop about it. I told the other member $100. That’s me pulling the console, ordering cup holder, labor and materials like paint and such to make it. Wasn’t originally going to make a whole bunch but I can do it as a side gig.

No problem. I will be making another one soon for another member and will say it takes a lot of time, plans and measurements to get it right.

Lots of patience lol. What I did was take out the main console floor and used that plastic, used a C clamp to hold the two pieces together and kinda traced a cut along the open cubby and then once it was in a decent shape I JB welded the two together and waited to do more trimming of that plate to make it look uniform.

I do not have an 89 parts catalog. @fiatslug87 will be able to help out with that.

Same reason it was designed for.

After having it installed for a few days and actually diving with it today, it is quite nice to have actually. Strongly recommend it on broken down full consoles though.

Damn those are gorgeous.

The ground tip in the front sockets if still the original plastic ones will be rusted or possibly not there at all. It is advised to upgrade to the newer XJ style sockets for longevity and better contact.

Good luck with HOrnbrod responding.
