DSFB 96XJ

I was reading on another forum about all the different types of axels, motors, transmission etc all the different xj's have. I read in 96 the xj had a jasper motor. I have a 96 classic/sport with 4.0ho. Could anyone verify this or tell me how could tell if it's true and how i could tell if mine is a jasper motor.T HE FORUM IS CALLED CHEROKEETALK AND POST WAS ON AUG 30,2009 CALLED XJ SPECS

I hope this is a joke but if not then to answer your question. A Jasper motor is a stock replacement motor. Jasper is the company name, with minimal research you could have discovered this yourself. So if your motor is original then you don't have a jasper motor.

Yes, Jasper is a manufacture of rebuilt/built motors.

Aftermarket vs Stock

IDK how you would tell if your engine was actually manufactured by Jasper. Call them up and ask - they might have some stamping/plate that indicates it was a Jasper engine.

it wasn't a joke, it was a question. I know jasper builds motors and transmissions and they are beast. I'd read it on a post on another forum

That may very well be the first time I have heard anyone compliment a Jasper engine. At least I think that was a compliment.

Maybe a better statement would be that may very well be the first time I heard someone not totally trash a Jasper engine.

Must be true then...


Also:
Just wondering why they are "beast"

the Jasper comment is part of a quoted poster's signature, referring to his jeep, not 96's in general. It's right next to:

Which is probably good advice. Unless they're really heavy and you're in a hurry.

Jasper rebuilds are ****. Jasper "performance" engines are ****.
Jasper didn't make factory engines. What ever forum told you that is wrong.

I just noticed it was on cherokeetalk....... makes perfect sense on my last input....

Like said jasper does oem rebuilds on engines trans and rear ends.Years ago they use to be ok,Today they are kinda crappy.Only way to tell is look under the hood for a jasper warranty tag sticker is the only way to know.

that's the one. Ty for clarifying. I was unsure because the whole post was about all diff years n their specs so i took as was part of info. Ty

if i took it as being true just because i read something i wouldn't ask for advice from ppl who would know.
