will it still work that way if the alternator is on a seperate belt?

 

I have an 89 4.0 renix xj my aw4 just died, will any aw4 replacement work?

 

I think they had different output spline counts from 87-90 and 91+ could be wrong but I know the tcases have different input spline counts so.... lol

 

Umm, no? There is a way to tighten the belt but id have to look at it.

 

Without getting too technical, my odometer is off 2 MPH where my GPS shows 50 MPH and where the speedometer shows 52. I take that as a simple 4% offset. Please tell me if I'm doing this right.

To calculate the true MPG,
1. I would fill up at a gas station, record mileage or reset odometer.
2. Run near empty, fill up. Record mileage again or record odometer.
3. Subtract mileage from #1 from #2, write down if needed, or just the odometer reading
4. Now, I would take that reading, and add 'plus 4 percent' or .04

Example: Total odometer reading for trip = 320 miles times .04 = 320 x .04 = 12.8 and then add 320 = 332.8 total corrected trip miles

5. Take 332.8 and divide by the number gallons on fill up: 19.2 Gallons

332.8 / 19.2 = 17.3 mpg

This looks right to me. I know it doesn't show low end and high end speeds where the speedo may be less or more off, but I think it gets close.

Any math wizards out there to confirm a bit?


NOTE: THERE IS A CORRECTED VERSION LATER ON in this thread!

 

Anyone know the proper V8 ZJ tie rod part number from O'Rielly and Autozone?

I know theres a few different tie rods with different names on their websites.

Also is the one to replace the driverside tie rod? If they are cheap id like to replace them all next week.

 

take loose the A/C compressor and slide it over some. should give you enough room to get it off

 

Looks fine to me. Remember you're working with a percentage so that covers high and low speed operation. If you did "derp I drove for three hours and I think i did 52 so I'll subtract 6 miles" I'd be concerned lol. There is no need to wait for the tank to be at any level, just get the odometer reading and fuel dispensed.

 

Random thought... Would you be able to switch the drivers and passenger seats? Are they the same where they mount to the brackets?

 

How do I do about asking a question? I am not seeing on this site where to post a question. I think this one is for replying to a question? I did not see any instructions on how to get to the site for entering a question.

Im about to make bastard packs with xj leafs and s10 leafs but cant find leaf centerpins at any parts store. Does anyone know what size I need if I were to order offline? Will these work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tuff-Country...ht_1498wt_1163

 

Well you got half the battle. Just ask a question now bud

 

So, find a working cluster from a similar year model with almost same millage. Are all of the proper wiring harnesses already run to the old cluster? They just run idiot lights instead of actual gauges? I get replacing the sending unit, but what about the tach and others? Plug and play?

 

Yup. Plug 'n play. Chrysler loved to run wire (albeit poorly), though I think it's the same connectors. Gauge cluster on newer models has it's own circuitry inside so it's really just a matter of whether it has the gauges or not. Aside from oil pressure sender the ECU already knows about engine RPM, temp, voltage, and speed. Older models had two temperature sensors, one for the ECU and one for the gauge. No idea why.

 

Thanks. You are correct. Been doing some more research and ran across this write up. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/9...30/index3.html

It appears in my 99 no new sending units required. Just plug and play. Dash out, old cluster out, new cluster in, dash in. Looks like a project for next weekend. Thanks.
