Huck731's 91 Mj Daily Driver

[huck731]

today finally marks the start of me fixing the clutch slave cylinder....a part I have had for about 3 weeks now. the topper is also coming off so I can get the truck on my garage. still undecided if it will be going back on though.

[huck731]

I got the topper off today along with the garage cleaned so I can get her in there. I'm going to attempt to drive it to work tomorrow based on the sole fact that it gets alot better fuel mileage that a 95 chevyt 1500 Z71.

No lie my four banger does so well on gas.... And I put a new Isc motor in and purrs awesome and saves tremendous amount of gas

 

I'd say keep the topper never know when I'll find another when u need it and their are for these trucks

[huck731]

is lsc and oem replacement engine?

[88whitemanche]

Idle speed controller motor ....

[huck731]

oh, now I feel dumb. actually I have never heard of that part before, but that is probably because I have never had a vehicle with one as far as I know.

[87Warrior]

Idle speed controller motor ....

His 91 has the Chrysler multipoint fuel injection system not the renix throttle body system, therefore no Idle Speed Control Motor. Instead, it will have an Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) which is a plunger style device that can usually be cleaned.

[88whitemanche]

Awesome theres always something to learn on this site.... Thanks 87warrior

they never made an ax4, you either had a 4cyl with an ax5 or a 6cyl with an ax15 or you could use a dakota bell housing to mate the ax15 to the 4cyl

[freakjeep93]

wrong they very much did make an ax 4 it is the non OD version of a ax 5

[huck731]

clutch job is finished. with the help of my stepdad and uncle the lend a few extra hands and tell me what to do, the new clutch was installed and the truck back together in right around 4.5 hours. that makes me wonder why it takes the "pro's" at the dealership 4 hours and this was the first time I have ever done a clutch and slave cylinder. what size/type of bit do I need to get the trans fluid fill/check hole open?

my bad, i knew about the 4speed but i didnt know it was called the ax-4

[huck731]

ya, it's basically a peice of junk, interstates are my worst enemy if I want good fuel mileage. I can't wait to throw in an ax-5 w/ t-case.

[huck731]

well the new clutch/slave combo seem to be working just fine. my next investment will probably be new rear u-joints as my uncle said they are starting to show signs of going bad (I trust him, he has been an ase certified trans tech for over 10 15 years now) but maybe I'll find a decent set of rims at the junkyard or CL for cheep to throw some bigger snow/mud tires on.

[huck731]

so two weeks after I put the new clutch in and she's still runnin' like a top. fuel mileage is going up, having a clutch again instead of jammin' gears like a 16 year old in a 18 speed big rig is alot better on fuel.....whoda thunk it :yes:. can't wait for the holday season to be over so I can have money again so I can start buying material at work for the rocker channels and the light bar I want to make.

[freakjeep93]

i just realized , you have a xj rear bumper lol

[huck731]

yes, the PO put that on there. no clue why, I have the xj front bumper with 0 surface rust on it sitting next to my garage. I'm not that big a fan though, bumper overriders look terrible imo.

[huck731]

holy crap ton of snow batman. there is at least 1' outside. I wish I had 4wd :yes:

[huck731]

well I just put in new plugs, cap, and rotor. found out that my dizzy is out of a 94-02 2.5l. makes me wonder what other components are from newer years.

[huck731]

well I burried the darn thing in the snow last night, tried to turn at an intersection but the truck decided it wanted to go straight..... buried right to the axles, had to get a tow out, good thing I have roadside assistance :doh:

[huck731]

well, I decided last night that I need to invest in a new front bumper instead of a rear. I was taking some money to my roomate who was at the bar and the parking lot was pure ice. needless to say a decorative pole (an old tele pole cut into smaller sections) wanted to become friends with my bumper and in the process of the less than 5 mph bump, bent my bumper AND my new euro plate. :fs1:

[neohic]

Euro plate? Man, you ARE a VW guy! :laughin: Sorry to hear about the bumper though.

[huck731]

just a bit, lol. when I get the bench seat I am going to have it recovered in the plaid cloth interior they used in the mkv (mark 5 ((gen 5))) golf gti.

 

I going to get a diy front bumper kit from JCR, I'm assuming the xj fronts are the same as the mj.

That's awesome... totally because I'm familiar with the material! You should make up a boser hood for it too! Don't forget to roll the fenders. :idea:

[huck731]

haha, just go all out euro on the poor old jeep. then I could show it at the big euro car show I go in the minneapolis every year.
