    Wire Harness Madness

    Hi The plan: 1988 YJ 4.2L to 1995 4.0L swap. To aid in the swap I bought a 1995 YJ w/4.0L cowl section with the power distribution and under dash harnesses in place. I then discovered the engine/PCM harness was not there. So I just went and found someone with a 1995 YJ 4.0L that sold me the...

    Thank you. The thing is after I disassembled the windshield frame I dont remember seeing it. I went over the windshield frame pretty closely because I was going to rebuild it, but it turns out it was to rotted.

    VIN Location on a YJ

    Hi, the situation is I have completely dissembled my YJ and replacing everything. The problem as I am putting it together, I can't find the vin tag that you can see by looking through the windshield. What part is it riveted to? I thought it was on the metal part of the dash but it is not. Any...

    Hi Eric, Just the pilot bushing/bearing is the challenge. Contact Advance adaptors and they have a pilot bushing that works perfect.

    Deleting the spare tire carrier

    Hi Has anyone deleted the spare tire carrier from the tailgate? By deleting I mean removing and welding up (and finishing) the mounting holes for the bracket and four rubber bumpers. Just wondering if I should go that route or just take it off and repainting it leaving the mounting holes...

    Pilot Bearing stress

    Hi, Thank you, I have ordered the correct bushing from them. I found the link in another Jeep forum. The challenge is if you are connecting a pre 91 4.2 and AX 15 all is good. Then they went and changed the input shaft to a bigger diameter for the 4.0. All is good though now. Funny the shipping...

    Pilot Bearing stress

    Hi, I have a 1988 4.2 that I am swapping out the Peugeot for an AX 15 from a 1995 wrangler. So far the two pilot bearing I have bought do not fit both. The one that fits the trans. is to small for the crank. And the opposite is true for the other one. Does anyone have a part number for the...

    No EVAP system in my YJ

    Hi I have a 1988 YJ that I have removed the 4.2 and replacing it with a 4.0. I bought the jeep and there is no EVAP canister and the vacuum lines are all removed. Without having to source all the parts and rebuild the entire system including the metal line from the tank is there another way out...

    Front frame lateral movement

    Hi My 88 Wrangler is all over the road while driving (however the faster I go the less it wonders). I noticed when parked and moving the steering wheel slightly left and right that the front of the frame (in front of the axle) moves to the right and left prior to the tires moving. The tires are...

    Manual vs. Automatic ECU for 4.2 to 4.0 swap

    Hi I am going to swap in a 1995 4.0L into a 4.2 L 1988 YJ, I have found several engines/harnesses/ECUs but they are all out of an automatic Jeep. In the early years will the ECU from an automatic tranny work with a standard. I believe the engine Managment system was very simple so the type of...

    4.2 vs 4.0 identification

    Hi Is there a quick and easy way to tell the difference between a 4.2 and 4.0. I am going to look at a couple of used engines. The seller believes he has a 4.2 carbureted and a 4.2 retrofitted with the Fuel injection you could buy from jeep. I want to make sure the FI engine is not in fact a...
