I know man... I feel ya... Lol... Just given ya slack... Lol

 

I've had my UG a couple of weeks now, really like it. I have an idiot gauge cluster so I decided the UG would give me lots of usefulness.

I currently run RPM, Engine temp, Avg MPG and Inst. MPG. I'm ready to change to showing 6 gauges and wondering which are most useful. I wish it would show Oil pressure (sigh...)

 

I'd add battery voltage and % engine load (helps to optimize MPGs)

 

will a 4.0 out of a 93 xj fit in a 90 xj what alls got to be swapped

 

Minor fix: the 2000/01 XJs have distributorless ignition systems, so it's only plugs and wires; no cap/rotor.
Dukie, I know you know, but the OP may not

 

I guess a headliner replacement would fall under oem tech so i have a quick question. I have read a lot of "how to" headliner threads and apparently there is supposed to be a cardboard backing on the headliner. Well I just took the headliner out of my xj and I see no cardboard. I have a checkered material, then fiberglass?, then my actual headliner material. If anyone could tell me if this is the way it's supposed to be or how I could recover the material I have that would be great. Here are some pics to help you understand what Im talking about.

 

treat it as the same... itll be good to go...

 

so do i just remove the old liner material and replace w/ new or do i need to clean out some of the middle layer (yellow stuff)?

I was trying to remove the upper control arms in order to replace worn bushings. My problem is I can't get the bolts out. I have tried a 15mm box wrench and it was a little to big and slipped (would round it off if I kept trying). The 14mm is a little to small and the 9/16ths is also a little too small. What size is that suppose to be?

If I "sawzall" the darn bolts what should I replace it with?

 

15mm 6 point socket...

14mm and 9/16 are the same size...

Another bolt.............. lol

 

My 15mm socket wouldn't hold either.

Nooooooo 14mm and 9/16th are a tiny bit different (so says my handy dandy wall chart)

Another bolt????? I never thought of that, guess I'll put the bread ties away.....lol Just a regular grade 8 bolt I would guess.

 

I have a 95 4.0 I6 im getting ready to replace the rear main seal would it be a good idea to change the oil pump while im under there if so should I use a high volume pump or oe standard?

 

naw just replace the fabric part...

15mm 12 point socket? or 6 point socket...

and naw man grade 5 is fine... and a nut is not going to care about the ever so sligh difference of the 9/16 and 14mm...

im doing the rear main in my 90 manche now... although i stripped the motor, tranny, xfercase, and all out... painting the engine bay... painting the motor and replacing everything seal related except for pulling the head...

if all you want to do is the rear main seal then i recommend replacing the oil pan gasket... but the oil pumps (on the renix anyway) are lik $80 frickin bucks... since this is all your doing i say replace it too... youll have to pretty much pull the motor to do it if it ever fail's in the future... me... im not... all my moneys already going everywhere else and i ran out... lol... if your motors stock then run a stock pump... its lasted this long right and still counting... why buy aftermarket... aftermarket are for motors creating more heat and near more oil flow...

when pulling the motor use the drivers side engine mount NUT on the head bolt on the back of the driver side of the motor... and you see in the pics where i put the other one... took the mount off with the nuts under the bottom side instead... makes it easy and both are plenty strong... not many good places to bolt a chain to these motors and not worry about anything...
