Ok guys, I tore up the transmission in my 93 xj. I want to know exactly what transmission is in the jeep or what it can be replaced with. Finally got some extra cash and I want to buy the replacement before the cash is gone. Thanks in advance

I've also read that some guys use a coax. Outer shielding for ground and solid inner for power.
You are definetely getting a signal from under your hood somewhere. a shielded ground wire should be good but try relocating first. TBH im an electrician so im using the principals of noise on the ground wire, not sure if it will be the same but eh i always wanna try and help

Ya it doesn't seem that it's idling rough I just noticed ppl saying rough idle at around 1000 rpm n I noticed today that's wat mine was at. But like I said it doesn't seem rough to me but I'm not a mechanic so Idk if it's bad or not

When should the cooling fan kick on? My jeep was running hot so i changed the tstat and flushed it. It was runnin way too hot up around 230. Now it is running 190-210 with the flush and new 190 degree stant tstat. Much better. But now I noticed that the fan didnt come on when running 210 until i turned on my heater inside. Then, as well as when i turned on ac, it came right on. So when SHOULD the fan kick on? What exactly calls for it to come on? Do you think i may have other issues? Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Default coil bucket width?

Does anyone know the center to center messurement on the coil buckets?? I've got a 44 going in the front,kinda hard to get the messurement from underneath, so maybe someone has a D30 out, that they can get a easy messure on??

Ok cant seem to find an exact answer, so here it is. My blinker's this afternoon decided to completly stop working on me...flashers still work and all the bulbs are good, any ideas what it could be? I did just wire in a blinker light up front, did i maybe wire it in wrong? wouldn't think so cuz its only two wires and worked either way and has been working fine for a couple days after i installed it...o and if it helps any it was raining pretty hard when it happened. And for all you smart ones out there i can assure you my blinker fluid is FULL
