My YJ won't build up brake peddle, I know that's usually air in the system but after repeatably pumping fluid through it I find no evidence of air. It started after I replaced the front calipers when both became hot after a short drive, they clearly weren't fully releasing. After replacing the...

Ready to install my wrecking yard e-fan into '93 2.5 yj and have a question for you motor heads out there. I didn't think of it when I pulled the two speed fan from the ford cougar (fits perfect) but can't I use a fan controlller from another doner car, anyone out there done that before? I'd...

It was a miracle... hooked up the crank position sensor and what do ya know... vrooom. Oh well, live and learn.:oops:

I rebuilt a 2.5 recently and just got it buttoned up in my 94 YJ, tried to start it for the first time Saturday and it turns over but won't run, I suspected an ignition issue so I've been poking around and think it might be a bad coil. I checked the primary and secondary and the values are...

Thanks for the links. I browesed through them tonight and they look like just what I was looking for, again thank you. The members of this forum rock.

Yeah it's the same message as a year ago, the link to the manuals doesn't work any longer(?) and I tried to be creative by cutting and pasteing my year old message but I got all the replies. If the gentleman who originaly gave the link is out there would you apply the link again please, when I...

Can anyone suggest a supplier of factory repair manuals who isn't putting a kid through college? I have a '93 YJ I'm trying to recover over the winter and Chilton's isn't cutting it anymore, not enough detail. I really need the power train section so I can rebuild the 2.5. Is it above board to...

I bought a 93' 2.5 engine from Craigslist last week that I'm going to have rebuilt to replace a very tired 2.5 in my '93 YJ, I got my first quote today from the local auto machine shop for "about" $1300. The machinist said other than increasing the deplacement a bit he'd upgrade the cam and work...

My YJ is my daily driver so yes I have everythingto swap over however the "plan" was to rebuiild a complete matching engine that'd allow me to drop it in and be done. Then I was going to sell off the original either as is or after I rebuilt it with my son as a project. Maybe I will keep looking...

I'm shopping for a 2.5 injected engine to rebuild and drop into my 94 YJ. I found one on Craigs List out of an 89 however the seller writes below that "you would have to swap all your external parts onto the block and head as the computer and sensors are differnet".. my question to the forum is...

Year ago I bought a 93' YJ 2.5 manual w/130K on 32x11.5x15's 4" lift w/ stock gearing, learned alot about Jeep's since then & like everything about em. Took couple of camping trips this summer & I go through a lot of oil but no smoke screen out the back or puddles under the jeep, it just...

I pulled up this post from February 2006 in an effort to educate myself of the pros & cons of rebuilding my 2.5 or swapping in a 4.0. I really don't need more power or torque when I'm crawling but driving the highways to my favorite ORV park is a drag on 32x11.5x15's & a weak #3 cylinder. I'm...

Then I curse those that offered poor information and that includes the bugger who's web site I unfortunantly found & followed. I'll knock the seal out & do it again the right way, I knew it wasn't right as soon as I finished it even though it was my first. As long as I keep the fluid up will it...

Thanks Jonny for the quick reply & of course your right I should have said "shaft" not axle.. I replaced my stock 2 piece axle shaft with a one piece TJ axle shaft, the job's done and I've driven around abit. Still scratching my head why the TJ's long shaft has the axle seal placed outboard of...

Just got finished installing a TJ axle in my '93 YJ and have a lingering question I hope someone will answer. Why is the passenger side or "outside" seal outboard of the vacuum motor housing that's no longer housing anything? Why waste expensive gear lube down the tube when there's nothing to...

I don't know how to post a picture. I think it's some kind of plastic insert to hold the splined end of the shaft in the middle of the tube. I picked at it and it's not steel... feels like plastic. I might want to post a picture later, where do I find out how to do it? Thanks

Come on gang, 36 views and not one suggestion, opinion or past experience with the same thing...? I'd sure appreciate any opinion you could offer on my question. Thanks in advance. MGD

Wrenching on my 1st jeep, a '93 YJ 2.5L 5 speed with vacuum shifted Dana 30 axle. The plan was to simply replace the axle seals & except for now replaceing the steering dampner, tie rod grease cups & front shocks it remains the same. The problem I've run into is the passenger side axle tube...

Ok, hey guys thanks for all the solid info helping to answer my newbie questions. My next step tomorrow is knocking out the old axel seals then it's clean up of much dirt & 90wt before put back together time. Is Brakekleen and a brush the perferred means of cutting through caked on muck...

Got it, the plastic disks's are only dust cover's and not a seal so what's Johnny mean by polishing the seal surfaces? The axel seals will get knocked out and replaced so which seal surfaces could get polished? "....polish the seal surface. I like to start with a 150 grit sand paper, then 300...
