Just bought my 97 the other day

 

Realized I'm getting 9 miles a gallon. Something's gotta be wrong right??

 

Looks nice. If you want to get rid of those wheels I have some Xj sawblade steelies with good tires I have no use for.

 

uh yeah! even with stock 3.55 gears on 35's you should do about that or a little better.

 

yeah and I have stock gears and 31s

 

Flexed her out last night. Adj SA. Shocks out to 26". gotta install my LA when i getta drill






today i installed my new neon fuel injectors, still gotta reset the PCM

 

Finished tuning the new engine...Back on the road better than ever. T/G..
Good thing I like you XJ..just sayin'.. now to put another 250k on you~

 

So how dose one go and reset the PCM and what year is the neon?

 

To reset the ecu you take off both battery cables and hold them together. I do it for 30 min to be sure.

 

I reset mine by grounding the positive cable for 30 seconds, reconnecting it, then turn the headlights on, off, on, then off. Read that somewhere, but it definitely reset everything.

 

Drove Mine to Hilltop offroad in St Helens and helped clear trails and build a small frame twister for the mud fests coming up.

 

idk, i just know they are 784 injectors. ya take both batter terminals hold em together for 30 seconds. reconnect em to the battery. then turn the ignition to on put dont start the jeep. turn on the headlights for 10 seconds. turn em off. turn the ignition off and that flashes the PCM adaptive memory.

 

Found a 44 out of an 87 in the JY in Puyallup. Someone got the tow package off it, but no one noticed the 44? Also found an offset waggy 44 for my dad's CJ5 and snagged that for him while. Now he doesn't have to worry about two-piece axles!


I wish I had more pictures of the paint and swap procedure(pretty basic stuff though.) It was a LONG day. Left the house at 6am and finished everything at 5am the next morning. Don't have the luxury of another vehicle atm.


Just another shot of it with some sun on it. Wish the rest of the Jeep was as clean as my rear axle! BTW this 44 happened to be the correct gearing, had a factory LSD, and the bearings and seals were in great shape! I got so lucky. Lockright up front and now a LSD in back. Sweeeeet. Yes I know I'm missing a cover bolt. Was missing from the JY and I couldn't find one in my shop anywhere.

it's amazing the difference this rear axle made just in daily driving. i guess the old 35 had worn bearings.

And just a little extra for you guys. One of the trucks I run.

Check out the cool crew cab 78! He already had the rear driveshaft unhooked for me when I got there. Lol(he blew it up)

 

I picked up a second job.....so I can fund more parts for the Xj lol

 

Took the front ds off to find the growling and discovered the ujoint was missing grease, and bearings, and half a cap lol.
