that gauge cluster will only work with a 91+ comanche or cherokee...unless you've converted a renix to high output

[Jeepcom23]

Ive got a 1991 MJ :cheers:

[HOrnbrod]

Excellent score! :thumbsup:

 

You might want to edit your signature to reflect what year/model MJ you have.

[JeepcoMJ]

yep, just wanted to verify you got the right part jeepcom....just in case anyone else got bright ideas to get the wrong parts.

 

 

nice score though...very nice indeed

[Jeepcom23]

Thanks guys, are hornbrod, you're right. i should.

[Jeepcom23]

Thats better!

[HOrnbrod]

:thumbsup: Well done! We need to let all the Renix pukes know where the finer MJs are. :cheers: :popcorn:

[JeepcoMJ]

:fs1: renix...ugh.

 

 

thanks for the idea hornbrod...I forgot to put mine in my sig again.

Indeed, no offense but I am so damn glad mine is a HO

[freakjeep93]

i gotta ask whats wrong with renix. i don't want an argument but i gotta know?

[Jeepcom23]

Oh theres nothing at all wrong with the Renix, I just like the HO's

[64 Cheyenne]

They're kind of like twin sisters you were dating, one likes things one way, one likes it the other. don't get them mixed up cause they don't like any of their sisters stuff.

HO's are 'better' in most ways,

well, atleast until the voltage regulator in the ECU goes, and you need to get a whole new computer.

:doh:

 

 

Any 91/92 MJ owners out there might want to think about picking up a spare ECU when they see one cheap. :smart:

Not quite true. The NipponDenso alternators used in the HOs are quite capable of utilizing an aftermarket external voltage regulator ( the terminals are there) if the ECU internal regulator fails. The ND alts w. an external regulator are commonly used to upgrade older Delco and other alternators.

I've read stories of others who tried to use an external regulator on Mopars that originally had them in the ECU,

even the successful stories, where they got it to function, ended with a constant Check Engine Light being on (and a replacement computer being needed before they could get an inspection sticker).

 

Were you able to replace the regulator on an OBDI Jeep without getting a CEL?

 

 

The voltage regulator failed in a friends Durango (OBDII),

The first two shops replaced the alternator. :ack:

Then he finally brought it to the dealer, they were able to diagnose it, and replace the ECU, but it wasn't cheap. :doh: :doh: :doh:

 

About a month later he started to tell me the story, and I said "sounds like the regulator in the ECU went bad" :rotfl2:

Yes I did, on a 96 XJ I had when stationed in Guam that was the POS cross-over year between OBDI and OBD2. I did wire in an external regulator (Niehoff I think it was) that did work w/o a CEL for that particular fault. But that XJ had a CEL ON more than OFF. I wasn't about to spend $$ on this thing and learned some creative wiring techniques to keep it going until I left the island. I sold it to a local before I left. :cheers:

 

I passed through Guam a few years later, and the XJ was still in use as a taxi still going strong.

renix is better in every way. what yall been smokin??

Another enlightening opinion from a very learned member. :nuts: Thanks very much for sharing that.

[mvusse]

I have both a Renix and a HO. There are things to like and dislike about both. I myself prefer the Renix.

Now this is an informed opinion based on experience. :cheers:

[Jeepcom23]

Why do you prefer the renix over the HO?

[mvusse]

Lower torque peak for wheeling, better fuel economy (although you have to keep the speed down for this) and simpler electronics.
