I'm back home now since i ran out of time. it doesn't look bad at all but just had a weary feeling. Tomorrow I need to tackle those two E12 inward torx's on top of the tranny and then the motor should pop out.

6"lift? eh?

 

I believe my 98's check valve is messed up. How do I go about replacing it?

 

Replace the whole fuel pump assembly.

 

hello everyone ...does anyone knows the procedure to remove to injection pump in a jeep chrokee diesel? i checked in web and i found some things but about the timings and TDC im not very sure and i wonder if anyone knows or some good document i can check...thankx

 

Is it in the back seat?

 

i need to tighten my belt on my jeep. am i fine to do this without a belt tension gauge? or should i not attempt to tighten my belt without a gauge? i had it replaced recently and it has loosened and is squeaking at start up.

 

I've never used a gauge before. Tighten it up till it don't squeak anymore.

 

Is the tension gauge called a krikit or krikit2?If so. DO NOT USE IT! Dumbest and inaccurate piece of poo there is. I had used it to set my belt to the lower of the tension spec(130 I believe) and it few months down the road my water pump dies(bearings were shot) took it out and you could see where the pressure of the belt was pulling causing the bearing to wear prematurely and cause the fins to rub/cut in to the water pump housing.

 

The more detailed method involves running it on a cold day/morning and tighten till it stops, then take it for a drive, tighten if necessary if it squeals, then last is to put on the A/C or defroster and then drive some more and tighten if necessary if it still squeals. And that should set it for good. I've done that and only now on the coldest of morning will it squeal with the defroster on.

 

x2. New belt, keep the appropriate wrench in the cab with you. It will stretch out during the first week or two anyway and require retightening.

 

What does the electrical connector do that connects to the top of the filter housing. It's that 90* one?

 

Air filter housing?

There aren't any there on a stock 97+. Did someone relocate your IAT?

 

No sorry above the oil filter. There's a connector to a 90* piece. Not sure if its the oil pressure sensor

 

It is for the gauge
