Vandenborg1 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 When I picked it up it had some overheating issues so after some research I went ahead and did the Open system conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandenborg1 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Decided to do a bit of a tune up changed out plugs and wires fuel filter even did the fuel pump and threw some injector cleaner in it..... she runs smoother now but still has some stall in it running down the road when you really get her going. As of right now I just let out and ease back in and she picks up fine any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nice truck, and with a sport bar I might add. Have you performed Cruisers tips yet? Great place to start for any and all electrical and engine issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 You may want to check fuel pressure. My regulator was junk and I had similar problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandenborg1 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 So now I've got her running a whole lot better had the exhaust welded instead of just clamped and figured out why it would bog on me when at higher speeds which was the balance resistor not sending enough voltage to the fuel pump therefore losing fuel pressure in the long run... Next step is to fix the fuse box.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandenborg1 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 So today I have replaced the turn signal switch. I'm glad I was right on replacing it although I probably could have just cleaned the old one up... it was extremely coroded now all my turn signals work propperly after replacing the front passenger side connector. I had tried cleaning the corrosion out on it but no luck so I want to the junk yard and picked one up. While I was there I picked up the wiper speed control box out of a xj the part looks different, it still has the same connectors just a different shape but it seems to work for the most part. I have the variable speed control, but on the low and high it just runs one speed which is fine to me because I can just use the variable to slow it down. Now I have the reverse lights and the horn to work on I think I have the horn on it's way to being fixed, no relay, but I'll have to wait till tomorrow to pick one up.
