Is there a specific gasket you recommend/use? Quick search on Amazon didn't yield any results.

I have no idea what ratio but will definitely do some counting when the cover comes off.

Is the fluid capacity 2.0 quarts? I haven't found any info on this forum from searching but I keep coming across 4.0 pints (2.0 quarts) on other jeep forums.

Ahh, thanks Don. Maybe something I'll consider in the future. Dustin

Thanks guys!! What a nice surprise. I bought this truck essentially sight unseen...another wild CL story, lol. So that would mean it has the metric ton package? It certainly seemed to handle the firewood payload nicely!

Sorry to post such a basic question...again! Could someone please confirm my axle type? I am about to order diff fluid (75w-140) and a lube locker gasket and want to make sure my eyes are not deceiving me. I've been staring at charts too long. I can take a better pic if necessary. Thanks in advance!

I got excited and stripped the Renix oil filter nipple. Instead of just changing the nipple, would I be able to convert over to the HO (sideways) oil filter setup as in this link: http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/5421/ ?

Just sent payment for standard bench seat brackets (unfortunately I don't have enough headroom for the riser version) and roll bar brackets. Thanks much!!

Just saw this new post. I need to think about the taller seat brackets. That may be a good compromise for me and the misses. Will send payment as soon as I make a decision. Thanks!

It was the CPS sensor!! Truck drove strong on the test route. Thanks everyone for all the help! I have a lot left to do on the truck but I am so happy to be able to drive it..

Yes I did change out the fuel filter at the same time as the pump change. I'm planning on buying a new fuel tank shortly though just to avoid any issues moving forward, no pun intended. I was really amazed at the amount of rust! Thank you for all the support guys!! CPS should get here by the weekend and I will update as soon as I can get it installed. Dustin

Hah, thanks Ohm! I sure hope so. So far it has been a fun but frustrating learning curve.

I pulled, cleaned, and replaced the crankshaft position sensor. The truck ran great for longer than it ever has since I've had it. The symptoms eventually returned but I believe this may be the culprit. The CPS was quite worn and I have a new Mopar CPS on the way.

Where does the camshaft position sensor (signal sync generator) plug into the harness? Mine appears to have been disconnected? EDIT: Read up some more and it looks like the Renix motors should run fine with that sensor disconnected.

Good idea. I did not clean out the tank this time and will pull the pump back out and check the strainer. I may try to rig the pump up outside the tank briefly to see if there's a change.

Latest update: I just swapped in a fresh fuel pump and fuel filter....... no change. I took advantage of an eBay coupon earlier and ordered a set of reman 4-hole injectors. Any other ideas at this point?? Dustin

The oil doesn't look rusty at all and I have a new fuel filter coming tomorrow hopefully. I am all for replacing the fuel tank with a new steel one off Amazon but i want to wait a bit and just get the truck back on the road at this point. Probably will plan on it next oil change. Thanks for the advice!!

Well, the poorer performance issue yesterday was due to me forgetting to plug the MAP sensor back in I drained the tank today and pulled the fuel pump/sender. The strainer was heavily gunked up. Think it looks clogged enough to be the issue? Are there any parts missing on the sender? Does anything attach to that return nipple? The new pump should be here tomorrow.

Ohh!! The bed has a Duraliner bed-liner and I couldn't see the other side. I was finally able to drop the tailgate and inspected the ground. The screw was rusted and just disintegrated when I put a screwdriver on it. I cut the wire and fixed that ground while also going to the fuel sender harness and putting in a 12g ground wire per Cruiser's tip. The truck would barely start today and would not even hold an idle. I am even more convinced the pump has given up the ghost. The new pump should be here by Thursday and I hope to get it installed by Monday.

I'd be interested in the bench seat mounts..

Thanks very much for the detailed instructions and explanation! I've done about half of Cruiser's tips so far including the C101 elimination yesterday. I just went outside to try to get the handle mount disconnected. I did see that the cables are attached to the top of the mount, but I was not able to get the mount released. There's a square nut on the studs that I could not break free with heat and a small adjustable wrench. Any idea what size nut that is in the pic or what socket I'll need? I also looked over (as best I could) the latch mechanism. I don't see where I could insert a screwdriver to release the latch.

I am still trying to get the tailgate down so that I can remove the taillight and access that ground. The tailgate handle is gone and I have not been able to fish out the cables. I read that two small slotted screwdrivers could possible be used on the hinges. I hope to tackle that job this week, weather permitting.

All 6 plugs looked about the same. Dang it, I should have waited a few more hours to place my Summit order. Purchased the Carter fuel pump kit this morning along with Taylor wires, a new Actron fuel pressure tester, and a Wix fuel filter. The previous owner said the fuel filter was changed recently but I'm going to replace it for my peace of mind. Hornbrod, is this the Bosch fuel pump kit you are referring to?: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/bosch-electrical-fuel-pump-kit-69302/20770761-P?navigationPath=L1*14932|L2*14986|L3*15378 The loaner fuel pressure tester from Autozone is no longer reading any fuel pressure from the rail. The engine will idle, so I'm guessing the gauge is faulty (how many psi required to idle?), but since late yesterday the motor will essentially only idle. Throttle blips now cause instant sputtering and backfiring. I'm really thinking the fuel pump is on its last legs. The truck has 143k miles and I assume the fuel pump is original. As soon as the new fuel pressure tester arrives I will report back with some readings and updates. As an aside, I was planning on eventually buying a set of reman Bosch 4-hole fuel injectors. Maybe now would be a great time? Thanks Ohm & Hornbrod!!

I'm no expert, but the old plugs did look to have a lot of carbon deposits and to me indicated a rich condition. I'm not sure if that was due to the mix n match set of old plugs, the vacuum leak that existed prior, faulty injectors, etc.

I just changed the plugs out for fresh ngk 7252's. No change at all in symptoms. Would that answer the fouled plug question? I'm not sure how else to test for that other than visually inspecting the plugs.
