    Swapping 2wd trans in 4wd?

    a 94 will be an RH trans NOT an RE; they changed the governor from hyd. control ("RH") to electronic solenoid control ("RE") in 96; there was a 93-98 GC in a yard I went to today that had its T case and trans laying on their side next to the truck, with the valve body laying next to it...

    97 XJ TPS circuit; HELPPP!

    Had a phone company tech-buddy come by with a "tone machine" they use for finding shorts in the 2000-wire bundles in those roadside "towers" he thinks I somehow have a short with the fuel pump circuit and that being where my back-feed is coming from; I need to search that PITA schematic to see...

    97 XJ TPS circuit; HELPPP!

    I am not looking at it right now but IIRC it is Feb of 97; when I went to the stealership to ask about a wire harness they said it had to come form a '97 only; there was no "has to be from before______ (date) or after________". as long as it has a 4.0 A/T, 231 T case and from a 97 it's the...

    no I have not replaced the TPS; I am getting a 4.59V signal via the scanner and 87% throttle application with nobody in the vehicle (nothing touching the gas pedal) key on engine off and the TPS DISCONNECTED! so having that kind of voltage showing for a sensor that isnt even connected tells me...

    Screaming UNCLE for now; the insurance is off the Cherokee, it is parked in the garage (mine; I could not afford to spend $80+/hour if I wanted to, on disability) until I can get my head to stop spinning long enough to become un-confused so i can hit it again witha clear mind and start over...

    97 XJ TPS circuit; HELPPP!

    I don't see any fusable links (I know what they are have been bitten by them before) I believe that they went away from them when they went to the dual fusebox one in the cabin and one under the hood; I have a replacement wire harness on there. I have been checking everything (that I could...

    Help!!! Broke my clutch pedal!!!

    I had this happen on a 79 Dodge 1/2 ton with a Slant 6 and 3 on the tree. :roll: My mistake was loaning the truck to a "buddy". He brought me the truck back and handed me the clutch pedal w/ the keys. I pulled it apart and it had broke right at the factory weld; this was before I had my own...

    Steering box

    throw that haynes book in teh garbage. thats about what its worth; is this piece that moves about 8-10" long and thick heavy cast iron? That is the pitman arm. If it moves side to side, then yeah the box is shot; it will also probably be coated in leaked out PS fluid and road grease; otherwise...

    2003 Wrangler Rear Brakes

    Chrysler products have had a ~1/2" wide groove in the original shows for years; DO NOT replace the brakes "just" because of that. I have a 1978 Plymouth Fury 2 door with 48K original miles on it; and still has the orig brakes out back. and yes they are grooved. I THINK their idea was that once...

    Steering box

    "what" rod/bar? there are a few under there; the most common "troublemaker" has nothing to do with the steering box that would be the track bar. then we move onto tie rods, steering box coupler and so on. I have info on a rebuilder in Chicago if you need it; I just was there last friday and got...
