Renix or Bendix ???

[jtdesigns]

If the pre 90 jeeps are Renix,,, then why does my ecu say Bendix on it???? Did someone mistake a R for a B or something???

[brigarpeon]

Bendix is one of the OEM parts divisions of Allied Signal

The early Jeep injection/ignition system was a joint design produced by Renault, Bendix, and AMC/Jeep. Most of the design & development work was done by Renault and Bendix, so it is referred to as Renix as a contraction of "RENault-bendIX"

OK ,, I was kinda like :huh???: on that one,,, at first I was thinking it was a abs computer then I smacked myself back to earth..

I always wondered....how do you pronounce Renix??

 

Is it "REE-NICKS"

 

Or is it "RENN-UX"

[Eagle]

Well, the French car maker who at the time had a stake in AMC is pronounced REHN-awlt (or rehn-OH, if you speak French), so I have always mentally pronounced it REHN-icks.
