Jeep Driver

'll have to look at my old photographs but if I'm not mistaken there are two wires that go through the assembly to the outside of the tank that's the hot to the pump in the wire to the sending unit the pump itself is grounded to the assembly Did you check to see if there was continuity between the hot wire and the assembly itself in other words is the hot wire grounding out through the assembly if you say you have them trouble on on both of them I would guess not but I'm wondering if you're using the sender wire as a ground

That's what it sounds like. As for the links, once they burn, they're gone, if you have 12vs anywhere else, the links are good.

'91 is MPI. I have the '91 aluminum VC, for those is us with TBI, the '91 is the cleanest, less bosses. Find one. Try to find a Renix era PS pulley. AC bracket. I'm not going to beat this subject to death, but, as a guy who spent a couple of years seeking out parts for my own.......... OP, if you cannot find one, send your's out to a carb/TB specialty shop to be rebuilt/new bushings, this is not something you want to screw up. Maybe someone can offer to send him one, if you have one or know where a good one is, send it to him.

Find one.

There was one column at the PnP, from a really nice '90XJ, tilt. Can't say I really wanted tilt but I could be waiting for months for a good column. Dove in tonight, got it stripped down, all ignition and related parts gutted, steering lock too. Now I need to paint and reassemble.

Thank you.

I've got a tower in every room for large screen TVs, laptops, everyone has a tablet, just bought a new replacement today, work truck is connected, we all have phones...........sheeeesh, I'm connected up the yinyang. My Jeep will be the one place I disconnect.

Your How TO is good. Found these last night while searching this site for something else- http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Expansion_Plugs_s/89.htm 25 2" plugs for $23. Take your 7 and sell the balance on ebay, you'll get yours for free and make a few bucks. Anytime I go to the PnP I look for parts that I can pick up quick, sell them on ebay, get my parts for free. Same thing with the Summit link, buy two, take my 7, sell the rest and get my money back. As for shipping costs- if done as shown in the How TO, you'll be buying new intake/exhaust gaskets, coolant, sealer. If my wife's XJ started leaking at the rear of the block/head, and I had to drop exhaust/intake/trans....etc...I'd take the opportunity to pull the pan, clean, new pan gasket, new rear main seal- whatever else I can get done at the same time. Point is, shipping now becomes free, moot point, and if I'm going to do the work, might as well get it all done at once. Maybe I have a different way of looking at things. Regardless, there is nothing here worth getting frustrated about.

No, there's nothing wrong with steel. If you are building or rebuilding, it's brass. On a 25 year old engine, it's irrelevant.

$1 always indicates a trade or partial trade, which is one of the things he's offering.

They are MJ and XJ specific, nothing else.

Since 2011 there have been 4 2.5s that have been in the JYs local to me, none now that I know of. Nothing on ebay. They are hard to find, most TBI era parts are hard to find. This is a NOS that I found a few years ago.

From what I can see it does take 7. 5 on the side, one behind the trans and one behind the head. $13 from Summit plus one.....would have been less than $18 and he would have had it the next day. And FWIW, I rarely even go the corner auto parts stores anymore, they have nothing for me. I can get better quality at a lower price online 99.9% of the time online.

You might have a hard time finding a 2.5 TBI throttle body. IOWs it's not going to fall into your lap. http://www.fuelinjector.citymaker.com/web_page.html Call these people and see if they still have one NOS. Call here, Mr Complete Jeep, http://www.creepersjeepers.com/ I'm almost certain he'll have a used one.

And, while you're waiting, drop the trans, replace with what you have, reinstall trans. By the time you get that done, your others will arrive. Make the best of what you got.

I'm just shaking my head here....................... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-mpe-256br And yes, in most cases blocks are not heads, order accordingly. My NAPA will get me just about anything that is not special order...........the same day, order by 11am and it arrives by 2pm. Summit is almost always next day to me, two days tops to just about anyone on items like this. Any machine shop will have in stock........anywhere. Look at Summit......also order by the piece, count the pieces you need and order accordingly. Also, the steel is for the cam bore, the threaded plugs are oil port plugs. One may be a coolant drain plug.

You mean you have not even looked in your own neighborhood? Do a search for machine shops in your area. Daly's is one I found that has a good reputation.

That's the rub, isn't it? I won't buy an engine that someone else built. Call Daly's and see if they can help you.

Average online cost is $1800 to $1900, $450 core, plus return shipping. Your cost is about $2500 until core is refunded. Do you have $2500?

Guess I missed something?

Is there a reason you don't want to rebuild the one you have?

Where are you?
