We put a 2004 Wrangler 4.0 in our 1989 Wrangler. We also changed over from a standard shift 5 speed to the '04's automatic trans & transfer case. There's quite a bit to it to make it happen - not rocket science but quite a few things to address. I don't think that you can just swing the 4.2 head...

Now come-on the guy is obviously a carpenter or a camper etc......... Just think, if he ever got stuck out in the cold and had to survive ----- He's got his fire to keep warm right with him! You on the other hand would run out of gas and freeze!

I vote for: Take a look at the "U" joints especially if you have raised it up or are running taller tires. These factors change the geometry & put new strains on things plus its most likely the cheapest fix!

OK I did it but I put a complete driveline package out of a 2003 or 2004 Wrangler into my 1989 Wrangler. My '89 was a 4.2 carbureted motor with a 5 speed The new package is a 4.0 injected motor with A/C, Pwr Steering etc. the trans is the automatic & I also got & installed the transfer case...

I'm just thinking - I have to check it out for sure as to how many miles to the gallon I'm getting but all I know is that it stinks! I have an '89 Wrangler with a complete 2004 Wrangler 4.0 engine, Automatic Trans & T-case It was a 4.2 with a 5 speed so what ever ratio the rears are I'm not...

Thanks guys you have given me something to look into! I eliminated all the stock gauges & took a piece of redwood that I had laying around. I mounted all new white faced Sun mechanical gauges (Oil, Amp, Temp, Vacuum & Fuel) on the redwood & I'll tell ya - it looks Great! I bet ya I could make...

I have a 1989 Wrangler that was a 4.2 Standard Trans which we've now installed a complete driveline from a 2004 Wrangler - 4.0 engine, Auto Trans & Transfer case. It took a million little things to acomplish this but thank God for my buddy Mike who's garage we did it at - because I could never...

Ok here's my 2 cents worth! I have an '89 Wrangler that was a 4.2 standard shift! I had all the usual carb problems etc........... My son asked why wasn't I driving it? I said because it needed tires real bad. He said he would buy me a set of tires & I thought what a good boy! In a couple of...

Anybody need a big piece of iron? I live in Honesdale, Pennsylvania which is in the Northeastern part of the state like 35 miles from Scranton or 3 hours from NYC or Philly maybe a little less. Anyway, I bought a complete 4.0 engine / trans assembly out of a 2003 or 2004 Wrangler. We put it in...

Hay guys - I haven't been online since November. I came down to Florida for a visit on Dec 9th & decided to stay for the winter :shades:. I coming back home May 1st & something I wanted to square away was the brakes on my Wrangler. Mine is an 89 - I look at listings for front rotors and pads &...

If the ecu is the little computer box gizmo thats mounted on the drivers side on the fender or firewall not sure where.......anyway, I put a 2004 4.0 in my '89 YJ & I got all the computer & harness stuff from the 04 to go with it! Anyhow, I'm sure I have that box around here someplace & it was...

Feels like its time to replace my front brake pads. I took a look for giggles on ebay anyway they show a 87, 88 & 89 to be the same than 1990, 91 & up to be different. What's the difference between an 89 & a 90? is it the diameter size of the rotor or different caliphers etc.......???? The list...

Its been months now that I've been trying to obtain this 49.2 +/-2 (ie: 50) reading for the fuel pressure on this 2004 vintage 4.0 engine that I put into my '89 YJ. We started out with a stock '89 fuel tank that has no pump Soooooooooooooooooooooo the easy way to obtain the pressure needed by...

I'm having Fuel Pressure problems with my 89 Wrangler. We installed a 2004 vintage 4.0 Complete which requires 49.2 pressure +/- 2.0 or 50 ideally. The stock 89 tank had no fuel pump so I bought and mounted a late 80's vintage Big Ford Truck (external to the tank E2000 I think) in line pump...

I have a 2000 Wrangler parts car & my daughter just came back home from L.A. She & her boyfriend have a new H3 Hummer, a 05 Honda Race car & a 1997 Wrangler which my son bought new when he graduated from college.

That's OK I get it - NO I use to get it, at my age (67) & my wife is (70) now all we have is what you might call oral....... she says f --- you Jim & I say F--- you Honey & that's it!

My daughter just shipped her 1997 Wrangler back home from California. It was unloade from the car carrier trailer in a mall parking lot a few miles from my home. When I got in it to drive it to my place I couldn't help notice a whinning sound its making. My first impression is it must be low on...
