rear window The temp guage and fuel guage share the same common ground. You should check this connection first, as it is the most likely thing to fail. Here's some info: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/electrical/gauges/ Also, you might have to drop the tank to get at the sending unit...

Well, 167,000 isnt really the end of the world for these engines... As long as you've been taking care of it, there's probably another 100,000 miles of life left in it before you're looking at a rebuild. If you were just looking at a straight swap, there are plenty of well documented V8 swaps...

Acutally.. the FIRST one i was quoted was a 200amp model that was almost $900... The higher amperage you go, the more its gonna cost you. I'm planning alot of electrical stuff for my jeep, so it makes sense to go up to 150amp, but you could probably snag a refurbished 80amp for less than a...

True dat, but on the same token it gives you a rough idea of how much juice the other components in the jeep are getting, as they are all on the crappy old wire... :roll: Nope... thats an install i actually have to PLAN out, unlike an alternator swap which only takes like 10 mins :P I have...

well, it was about $350 canadian, which is probably like a buck and a half in american money... :D They come in different sizes and styles... this one was a one groove standard mopar type alternator.... Nice and boring... :D The box just says: Powermaster Black Thermal Coat alternator Delco...

Okay, i finally had enough of my electics dying every time i tried to run the HEADLIGHTS while idling in traffic... Went out and bought a nice powermaster 150amp alternator. What a difference!!! Lighting system is the H4 conversion for headlights and SRS foglights (similar to the PIAA's) My...

parts I'd start by tightening the belt. if the belt isn't gripping, it will squeel and not turn the alternator like it should. Also, is this just at idle, or does it still show low even when rpm's are >1000? It SHOULD be pumping out 14v. If it still shows low, check your wiring and make sure...

I was looking through the new stuff on quadratec and I found that they are selling alteeza style tail lights for wranglers http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sgsh0101.exe?SKW=55213&HKW=CRYSTAL&PAGLEN=10&FNM=10&UID=2003080313412293 Now i'm a little confused on exactly how i feel about this... I...

Holy crap thats alot of info... :wink: I'm gonna have to try some of these things next week after my alternator comes in...

Howdy, peeps... I just finished installing the Eurolight H-4 conversion on my cj7. Had to cut parts of the light housing to install them, but overall it was pretty easy. the H4 lights provide more even light coverage and seem to draw alot less power than the older style headlamps which is handy...

I drive my jeep to work every once in a while just to keep the parts from seizing up, so i don't consider it my daily driver. My daily driver is a cute little toyota celica thats REALLY good on gas, comfortable, and can really move when it has to. For the most part i agree with Snitty. My jeep...

Have you checked out this system yet? http://cultofthewolf.org/blackguy.html

Howdy, peeps... I just finished getting myself all filthy replacing the belts on my 258, and i think its about time for a new alternator. Currently i have the stock 56A piece of crap that can barely power my fog lights and headlights at the same time (especially after installing the TFI ignition...

roll on liner My clutch pedal has been acting a bit funny lately. It seems to release extremely HIGH from the floor. Almost at the top. I think this should be a simple matter to fix, I'm thinking that i just have to take up the slack on the cable a bit, but i wanted to ask around a bit...

1044353 I had one installed on my AMC 258 (4.2l inline 6) rather than have my carb rebuilt, and I immediately noticed a significant power gain. Top speeds on highway used to max out at about 120km/h (if i was lucky) right now i can get it up to almost 140km/h, plus theres actualy enough...

1044419 Actually according to that link, there are 3 options of the 150i4 Multiport fuel injection, Throttle body fuel injection, and a 1bbl carburaor... The 1bbl was introduced into the 84-86 cj-7's and the '87-90 yj's had the throttle body fuel injection. <TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER...

1044686 yeah, transfer case... thats what i really MEANT to say... I've tried giving it a good push with the clutch in, and it just won't budge. I haven't tried rolling it yet, i'll give that a shot tomorrow. Oh yeah... Also, just so that i know i'm doing things right... Which direction...

1044709 I tried that thing with rolling it slowly forward in 1st and after a little coaxing, it popped out. Its still a little tough, to pop in and out, but at least i know the trick now. I take it that this is something that is common on older transfer cases... If so, is there anything...

1044729 Cool... I'll have to check that tomorrow. Where is it exactly that you check the transfer case oil on these things? Is it part of the main oil pan system, or does it have its own fluid supply? Just wondering [addsig]

1044821 I had the exact same problem on my CJ7 where it would not idle when coming to a stop. It seemed to get progressively worse regardless of the engine being warmed up or not. When i took it in to my jeep specialist, they were recommending a carburator rebuild. Seeing how the carter...
