Even with the full VIN its wrong?

Change the second J to a T

That line you are looking for is probably now on top of the air box inside the cab under the dash. Chances are it dry rotted away.

Was not me but damn it didn't last long.

don't worry I am. Right now I just have the old support out. I'm just in the process of cutting up the FEY bumper. Once that's cut up and out of the way is when the real fun begins.

I'm currently cutting up a FEY bumper to do just that.

Don't ya hate it when your fixing something and you end up breaking/damaging something in the process? Yeah I messed up the wire for my NOS turn signal/CC stalk(crunched while tightening the column holding nuts), so now I have a new one on the way along with what will hopefully be the right switch for the key in/w door open switch.

Under the hood will be a signal red wire that will have constant power. Youll need to modify the light to ground out to the hood and the power to go to the power wire.

And youre right, it is. I dove further into the GM Saginaw Column info and came across that there was two styles of the switch. One like what I have is apparently for tilt! While the non tilt models got a longer switch that makes contact with the ignition cylinder. So I have the switch and spring on the way. My truck never had the original switch so I was going in semi blind on fixing the issue. And also my Mopar parts catalog shows there to be two different switch numbers. J3211424-tilt J3211423-less tilt. Will report back when I get the parts. In the mean time the turn switch has been replaced.

I don't quite understand how this "spring" is supposed to push down and make contact. It looks simple and would work with the plastic prong piece of the ignition cylinder pushing down on the bend of the spring but I can't manipulate it to do the same idea behind the design. Thoughts?

Alrighty so I am in the process of swapping the turn switch and all that and I decided to make sure the little contact switch was working as it should and it isn't. For what ever reason the spring isn't putting enough pressure on the switch to make contact which seems to be why it won't make a sound. Now I did follow a thread in the DIY that shows the installation of the switch and I don't quite understand. The OP said you need to use a dental pick on the spring to help hold it as you push it in. Not once did he pull the spring out to show how it needs to be on the switch or anything so I'm not sure how the spring should look in case I have the wrong spring. Any ways the circuit works as it should, just my hang up is somewhere between the switch and the ignition/lock cylinder. Here's the post I'm referring to:

No that's correct. They used that cluster style for the idiot lights until 96 I want to say. HO had either the full cluster or the idiot light. Correct me if I'm wrong about the cluster selection but HO idiot light clusters didn't see the updated font package.

I thought the support for my bumper was toast.

2.5L left the factory with that set up. Some have converted to the 2.5L cooling set up by just changing out the bottle to the 2.5L and deleting the ballast resistor and moving the EGR solenoid.

Sounds good! can't wait to see what it says. No problem.

Lol, also very clean and a really base 2.5L with no PS dang. That engine will last ya for ever. If ya wanted you could put an E-fan in and gain a few more HP with the lack of PS and AC. Also when you get the chance can you get an up close pic of the white sticker on the fan shroud? Right here:

it looks like it had a repaint some point in its life. Tailgate straps was an indicator for me and also the nameplates are too high from their original placement. Otherwise very nice MJ and another 2.5L out there, lets see some engine bay pics.

I thought 91 and 92 didn't have the wiring for the cargo lamp? Anyways that's a pretty good score right there, course I wouldn't have thought of it as jewelry as its more functional than decorative.

You're gonna find that a lot of the pre-89's I did are gonna have an incomplete or inaccurate build sheet, partially why I never posted them.

Could be stuck on there really good. Give it a good couple blows and it should wiggle free. It all depends on how rusted it all is.

Actually I am with MJCARENA on the louver idea.

Better safe than sorry plus more capacity on coolant. May not be a lot but its more than stock.

I think Nickintimefilms did something like this to his XJ.
