JY for an evaporator?

 

Sweet. Just found a new OE on e-bay for $76.

 

what's the mpg on a 88 cherokee?

 

depends on engine/tranny/tires/etc

But in stock form when brand new it was about 18 city/21 hwy (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymod...Wagoneer.shtml)

I get about 19.5mpg with 235/75 M/T tires, trimmed front facia, and about 200# of tools in the back.

 

heres a serious question.
i was driving along, went down a hill and my jeep died. coasting along i turned off the key and turned it back on. nothing at all, put in nuetrul and coasted up a hill and thats where it sat. the batt. meter is showing its flat dead. would charging the batt help or will it be something else that caused it?
reason im asking is, its a a shop, aint gonna be workt on till morrow morn, i aint gonna be here. there saying its something to do with the alt.
any help would be nice. thanks.

 

Try and jump it see if she starts and then slowly dies. Do you have any other electrical working?

 

nope. is was if someone disconnected the battery. turned the key all the way forwards and nothing, domelight didnt even come on.

 

Try and jump it and watch the guage, good chance the alt is toast, and if it slowly goes down while running then yea

 

It's been done before.

 

Yep, sounds like a bad alternator.

 

im sure somebody asked this question somewhere.. what makes a 4.0 sound like a diesel? do parts go bad? anybody thats heard it knows what im talking about. it has 152xxx on it and i get people asking me if i have a diesel jeep hahah.

 

Well failing pulleys make it sound more dieselish. I believe my alt pulley bearings are going so it has a diesel/ loose sound on idle

 

Bad water pump will make it sound like that as well. The impellar gets all wobbly and sounds like a deisel.

 

if the alt is toast, i can use a 97 alt? that zj i wasted time on, it blew the tranny (fiances brother is such a douche) now my cherokee is at the same place, looking all sad. the feller that looked it over said something bout the alt (and how its a POS).

 

I'm pretty sure most xj alts are the same. As long as the amperage is the same too it's all good. You can do the zj alt upgrade. Just gotta upgrade wires too
