    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    I'm not super impressed with the H4s but I do like the way they look a lot better. The YJ doesn't really drive at night anyways, so headlights are not all that important in their effectiveness, and these definitely work well enough for what night travel they may actually see. Hard to say on the...

    Where can I find an ABS brake booster?

    They were extremely rare unfortunately. You are looking for a booster that only existed in 1993-1994. Not sure if you know but the 1995 4.0 booster was also one of a kind. There were tons of 95 4.0s sold yet really very few of those boosters available. I’m afraid the one you’re looking for is...

    1995 YJ 4.0 distributor replacement recommendations

    It is quite unfortunate and if I ever end up getting rid of my Jeep, terrible parts availability will likely be the number one reason I do so. Still holding on for now but man, in 12 years it has gotten so unbelievably bad. There were TONS of parts, both OEM and decent aftermarket when I joined...

    1995 YJ 4.0 distributor replacement recommendations

    I can assure you there is not a secret untapped market for good distributors that you just haven’t found yet. They all suck in the aftermarket. Best bet is to try and find some low mile OEM takeoff from eBay or something.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Yes, I've had a set for 10 years or so. They work well. The lower radiator hose to water pump is the trickiest location because as you have found, the clamp is barely larger than the hose when the clamp is fully opened up. But, you'll have a lot easier time doing it with the hose clamp pliers...

    RPM Query

    Any rpm below redline is fine if the engine management keeps up. I regularly take my 4.0 up to 4000-4500 rpm, no reason the 2.5 can’t do the same. Your speedo is actually calculating the opposite of how you’re thinking. If it shows 69 but you’re only really going 60, then that mean it’s...

    Dana 30 axle seals

    That’s the only place to leak on that side. Seal may have gotten torn or something during the u-joint job, but it’s hard to say.

    Dana 30 axle seals

    That is a stock cover. Crazy you’re losing that much oil. Might need to go back in there and replace that seal. The spec for gear oil capacity on the front axle is to fill it up to 1/2” below the fill hole and then add a few ounces at the CAD through it’s little plug. I typically overfill at...

    Dana 30 axle seals

    What diff cover does it have? That sounds significantly worse than what happens when you fill it up to the stock fill hole ordinarily. I would assume aftermarket cover with the fill hole way too high, otherwise maybe a clogged breather.

    Dana 30 axle seals

    Did you fill the diff up to the fill hole on the cover? Doing that will leak every time.

    Heater Cable Replacement Questions

    It’s just the heater control panel, and it’s the same whether you have air or not.

    No brakes

    Did you bench bleed the master cylinder properly before installing? Be careful with the H shaped tool, I bought one of those off of Amazon and the center portion was built longer than the tool which inevitably made me adjust my pushrod shorter than it should be. I go by feel just sizing up the...

    Rear taillight won't go off

    Do you have the third brake light installed? That one is the easy indicator to tell if your brake switch is wonky or not because it's a simple on and off with the brake light switch. Meaning that if you do have the third brake installed and it is NOT on (but works fine with the brake pedal being...

    Transfer case breather and goes up to a clip/bracket on the firewall behind the motor that holds it.

    Dana 35 carrier question

    For the carrier spot to be 1.575” and not yet 1.625”, I guess you do have the 1995 carrier and somehow that one side got wallowed out or something. Definitely no good. Sounds like whoever went in there before had little clue what they were doing, especially with the extra side gear thrust...

    Dana 35 carrier question

    The carrier changed for 3.55-4.10 in 1994 and 3.07 in 1995. The side gear bore became smaller in the newer model. It sounds like somebody swapped in an older carrier with the larger bore and used one of the newer smaller side gears in it or something. There should be practically no play in the...

    Booster upgrade

    Push the brake light switch forward towards the pedal in the bracket it’s installed in.

    Has anyone successfully removed the ECU from behind the glovebox and grab handle?

    No. Pre 91 had older different size ECMs that were inside the cab on top of the heater. 4.0 has it same where yours is.

    External Slave Cylinder Conversion Issues

    I am not sure about the burning smell but it is 100% normal for you to have to push the slave cylinder up against the release fork. There is a spring in the slave cylinder that keeps the release fork pushed toward and the throw out bearing constantly riding against the pressure plate so that...
