One week to go. AC will happen this weekend. All parts are here and ready, just awaiting the arrival of the Jeepair kit now. Hopefully the kit will not be a problem.

Check the crankshaft sensor on top of the bell house.

Nice truck, and with a sport bar I might add. Have you performed Cruisers tips yet? Great place to start for any and all electrical and engine issues!

When in doubt, test the CPS first. Congrats!

Looks like some decent surface rust. Might take more than just a wire brush to clean that up.

What is wrong with the old ISA? They can easily come apart to be cleaned and re-greased.

Hang on. There is so much wrong with the catalogue right now. We will need an actual YJ catalogue as I'm sure that both our trucks and YJ's DO NOT share the same bumper. Maybe the tube set up but can't confirm that with the current catalogue. But the tube bumper is weird. Chrysler shows it to be an 88-88 thing. Here's the Part# for the tube bumper package:55018449. None are left as NOS

Did you test the crank shaft sensor located on top of the bell house? That sensor tells the computer when to fire.

I just looked and the factory is different. The end is straight compared to the one you scored. Still nice. Gonna restore it?

That bumper looks like the old factory tube style that almost no one had

97’ XJ

It goes to the diagnostic port on the fire wall for the 86’s and fender for the 87-90’s

Agreed.

If you come to AZ there is plenty to do. I’d take on hiking if you are here. I see the Grand Canyon has been mentioned. I just recently went.....it’s a giant hole in the ground. It’s neat to go look at and see if you want to just see it, but the pictures from magazines and the internet do justice. But I’d love to go hike it and do a trek down into the canyon. Sedona is a must. Petrified forest should be neat. It’s hot there, but have never been there. Or go to tombstone. Supposedly pretty neat and haunted. Also there is Route 66. There’s an old decommissioned rail tunnel somewhere off the 66 around flagstaff that my troop and I hiked to and stayed in. It was really neat. Also supposedly haunted.

No. Its the same exact build sheet. Just a day earlier for the build date. Body code is JL62 The only difference is that the engine is a 4.0L and the Skid plate group is 4x4 Protection

Oh lord. I hope Chrysler’s garbage isn’t interfering with our VINs

The head gasket could do that as it is steam escaping through what could be failing valve seals. Which means you will need a head rebuild. The valve seals can be had for cheap and you could replace them on you own and completely skip the professional rebuild step. But I wouldn't recommend just replacing the seals if the head has never been serviced

Lol.

You could do a tear down and check the head, head gasket and piston head. Chances are the head gasket could be blown if it still is the original AMC gasket. Valves could be stuck partially open causing a loss in compression there, aw Minuit beat me to it.

Yup. Looks a little too thin. Even optimism gets brought down from time to time.

Will do! It may be a bit.....computer took a dump.

Would you like a build sheet?

I believe that front valve needs to go to the air box. It looks like there is a opening at the bottom of the box that is plugged. Like I said ‘86 is a whole other animal for the Renix years.

Goal is to have it all done and assembled by the end of August. Figure it should take me a weekend to tear out the dash and install everything under the hood. Once I get paid again I’ll get the AC kit and appropriate hoses and such. Winter? Best way I can describe our winter is the equivalence to Alaska’s summer.(been to Alaska during the summer. Felt the same as winter here). It “cools” off but we see high 60’s to 70’s during the day.
