86-87. Black wasn’t an option on 84-85.

For sanity sake, you got the right sending unit right? Renix? All I can think of is the windings for the rheostat for the float is either damaged or has dirty contacts between the windings and float arm. I recently ran into that issue actually.

Yup. Only the 16 and 23 are the same externally. I think the easy answer for a lot of AMC's reasons is cost.

Its not though. 16 and 23 are the same externally. 18 is smaller than the 23/16 gallon tank and for the short beds only. Were talking about AMC here. They did the same exact thing with the XJ by offering a 13 gallon tank and a 20 gallon and its the exact same externally.

Costs. Its cheaper to put a baffle in a tank with higher capacity than it is to make a new tank. 18 gallon tank had to be made specifically for the short box

Youre thinking of the 18 gallon tank.

Factory bed rails. Nice.

I may have some of the smaller parts. I know I have a few bumper brackets.

Well it turns out I never took any pictures of the sending unit. But I swear it took the Bosch pump just fine with no modifications and looks like the one from my XJ. It also has the straight pipes like the XJ unit.

Yes it is. I have an NOS 86 unit in my 88. It fit just fine. If I can find pictures of it I’ll post it but I don’t remember too much since that was years ago.

Amazon carry’s this.

Yeah thats an XJ one. I went through the same issue as I was running an 86 sending unit on my XJ. Theres a Bosch pump that will fit the early sending unit. I need to find the box that mine came in.

Pic of your original unit? I’ve got quite a few work arounds and info. 23 and 18 gallon share the same sending unit. REGARDLESS! Of the engine. 16 is unique. Pumps are pretty much the same between all. Now 86 is the odd ball year and has a completely different sending unit and partially because it was easy to have one model. It wasn’t until the 4.0 where AMC made one sending unit across the board for the MJ.

Thats cruise control. Not necessary to get the Jeep running.

Looking for one with the harness ends. It’s on the pass side behind the kick panel supposedly.

It’s one of those rare two for ones.

I may have a spare chrome one. I swear I’ve seen crown reproduce that corner in chrome and as much as I hate crown, it is an option.

Lol. At least paint the one in the handle cup.

Gotta paint them black

I was on vacation but also was actively on here during it hahaha. I’m here almost all the damn time. But yeah it’s been quiet hasn’t it.

The whole damn thing changed. 3 version of the 2.5L exist. Carb fuel feedback 84-85 Renix TBI 86-90 MPFI HO 91-01

2.5L Renix has an ISA. It’s different from the 4.0 and later HO set up with the IAC. I love when everyone assumes the 2.5L shares the same set up for 4.0 Renix when they were never the same to begin with. Also grinds my gears too.

Love it!

When did you get those vintage looking rims? And what’s on the covers?
