Most likely, the XJ transmission is the AW4 if behind the 4.0 I-6, so while it technically may bolt up if you have the 4.2 I-6 in the YJ, it requires a stand alone controller due to electronics. YJs use the 30RH (904) if 4cy and the 32RH (999) if I-6. I'd imagine the YJ PCM will also need to be...

Man, en$#!+tification is coming for everything. Glad you figured it out. I am about to go on a sabbatical from purchasing dang near anything due to the lack of QC. I read reviews religiously now. It was bad enough when buying stuff for my AMC360 (one of the big reasons I swapped to LS in the...

Yeah, your friend needs to find a good frame. Even then, swapping it over may be challenging when it comes time to unbolt the tub due to the way the body mount bolts are captured with square nuts inside floor pan hat channels. How is the body and tub itself? It may be a waste of time to salvage...

I replied on your thread since this one is solved.

Okay, you've replaced this part twice now. I have to ask, how did you test for it? Did you rent/borrow a fuel pressure gauge?

Your local auto parts store should have one to borrow for a refundable deposit. Hook that puppy to the schrader valve and see if you have fuel pressure cranking. If not, try pinching the return line (protect the line with a rag so whatever you use to close it off doesn't damage it). See if it...

Do you have a fuel pressure tester?

Finally got time this afternoon to do the finalization of the repair since the sun had warmed my shop nicely. I used the Simpson TP35 plates. Folded them in half the 3" way and placed one on each side. I could have probably went with the larger tie plates, but that is what I grabbed and they...

I glanced over that thread a while back. Mine is warped, so I'll probably run the fuel on down in the tank before doing this. Any known issues of the metal or coating reacting negatively to the gasoline?

Finally got to it today. Went to drop tank. No dice. The rear skid bolts were seized/spinning and I was not about to fight them. So, knowing I have 1" body lift mounts freshly installed, I decided to gamble with my life and use a dremel and do the access panel cut. Killed my dremel (it was 10...

Well, there is a reason many hate the Dana 35 and swap it out. From what I've read the early 5 speeds weren't that great either. I'd have to see dyno numbers on a rebuilt 4.2 with just a cam and exhaust given that it takes a pretty hot stroker to make that kind of power and stock they were...

Welp, definitely will have to drop the tank to make sure of what I have before ordering the pump (if it does come to that). Thanks!

Dang, do you have a hot stroker or modern swap under the hood? The gen 3 LS in my Grand Wag is rated about that.

I seen that write up. I just don't want to spend another $50 for the frame rail hard line as I just verified mine are decent. Just a tiny bit of very light external corrosion. Those rubber front lines are REALLY bad. It's a wonder they haven't already caused an issue. 😲 I'm thinking new AN...

Exactly what I'm being led to as well. That said, when doing the test for the regulator, I noted those engine side rubber line sections on the frame side are in sad shape. They could be collapsing internally. Either way, they need addressing now regardless. They will fail sooner than later. Did...

Nothing aftermarket on my end. The PO mentioned he had the sending unit replaced within the previous year of me purchasing it, so it may be a cheapy parts store job. I did watch a Jeep Solid channel video on YT that showed some tips. Dale is excellent on explaining all things YJ and 4.0. He...

Kind of where I'm at. Could also potentially be a split pickup tube. Just wanted to poll the audience. So, no way to test regulator without just throwing a part at it?

Okay peeps. First issue I've had with my YJ. Driving to work a couple of days ago. Came to stop at the end of my road. Just as i did, the engine shut off. WTF? Tried restarting. It cranks. Like on the edge of starting, but won't. Fuel gauge shows 1/4 tank and has historically been very accurate...

That is awesome news! I know after I did that mod for the original motor in the Wag, date nights with the wife went a lot smoother. :LOL:

This. These statements right here. I've heard from so many mechanics as to why they did it the way they wanted to, when I requested something totally different. Too many times, I've been very dissatisfied by the rush job style repair once I got my ride back. This is exactly why I do my own...
