Ok, I think I got it, thanks. -
Headlight harness upgrade
LarryH88bt replied to Sir Jacob the 2nd's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I'm looking to do this but I'm not good at electrical. It just doesn't click in my brain like other things. Where/how does the new harness wire into the switch to turn em on/off? With all the wires snaking around under the hood and dash it seems easier to just do an entirely new switch than using the factory plunger switch. I have a Renix if that matters. -
Broken power steering adjustment bolt
LarryH88bt replied to LarryH88bt's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Looks like it will be okay welded. The bolt threads through fine I just need a fresh one. Someone tried to fix this in the past because some of the bracket bolts had anti-seize and the adjustment sleeve itself had JB weld :doh: . I think my crummy welds will do fine. Thanks for the offer Schardein, but save those for someone else in need. -
Broken power steering adjustment bolt
LarryH88bt posted a topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Today I removed my power steering bracket to drill out a broken bolt. I then found this: The adjustment bolt sleeve snapped in half, probably a long time ago, from the bolt seizing, I've always been able to adjust the belt with the two bolts behind the ps pump. I have not found any new replacement parts, doubt I ever will, and this being a Renix 4.0, my local junkyard probably doesn't have any. Anyone know if the HO stuff would work? There is a 95 XJ being parted out nearby. I'll grab the block bracket and the adjustment bracket that sits behind the pulley holding the sleeve in. If not, I'm going to try and weld the sleeve back together and hope the threads line up so I can remove the bolt or at least just shove it back in the way it was.... -
Restoring a sending unit
LarryH88bt replied to LarryH88bt's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
^^^ That was the thread I couldn't find. I did something similar with o-rings. Soldering wasn't going to work, I'm just not skilled with it. Not going to try the gas tank putty this time. Probably will on my other unit since that one has a hole in the inlet tubes. I'll take some pics eventually. -
I've already cleaned it up, the small hole is to bolt in the ground wire and solder it closed from the back. The big problem is the plastic plug for the fuel pump wires. How am I going to secure and seal it?

Did you adjust the TPS to the correct volt range? There are two adjustments, one for idle, one for the transmission.

No change with the above. Tried some different positions for the TC switch at the pedal again. Brake lights work fine, I know that switch has something to do with the TC as well. Might have to check the solenoids next? Seems like a stretch since the trans was rebuilt by the previous owner ten years ago and I haven't put more than 20k on the truck since. But I won't test them until probably April next year :D I only drive it once or twice a week and probably not at all once the city starts salting the roads.

TPS adjusted within range according to my hayne's manual and one other source. It's reading .84 closed and 4.35 wide open, book and the other source says between .5 closed and 4.8 open is normal. Throttle Valve cable adjusted fine. Going to try testing the white TC switch near the brake pedal and adjusting the brake light switch again.
