Hey, I'm out of work, not out of ideas... just planning ahead for when the motor passes on... maybe in another 250,000 miles or so. ;) The 190D comes off the line briskly, as it starts in 1st gear, where most Diesel Benz's start out in 2nd. On the freeway it's a garden tractor... but hey, around here freeway speeds are rare and when available I'll have plenty of time to ramp up to the limit. :) The idea here is economy. We're considering selling the '99 WJ and using the 190D and '87 XJ... superdawg of course will NOT be part of the offering, especially since he's in a bazillion pieces right now. The idea is if we sell the '99 WJ that once we're back into a solid full time work routine I'll replace it for my wife. This is a good plan as it gets me around some of the issues of this particular WJ... mainly the black leather... I like the tan leather. ;) The '99 WJ is very clean and I've gone through it with amsoil synthetics and the slotted brake rotors and all new brake parts, rear end was rebuilt by randy's ring and pinion and refilled with amsoil gear lube. Getting 21mpg on the freeway... mileage around town is in the 14 to 16mpg range... whereas the '87 xj is getting 16 to 17mpg in town... and it's paid for... ;) Getting rid of the '99 WJ may be a last resort... it represents over $500 a month in expenses... we WILL get another one. Next one may be a 4.0L Limited with Quadradrive, tan leather interior... ;) As expected my wife is NOT excited about giving up her Jeep... >Sure, it probably wouldn't be hard, but I've >also heard swapping a 242 from an XJ into a 258 powered SJ is a pretty easy >swap too :) :) :) negatory... found out the hard way that ain't so... it's not just spline count, but also the depth of the shaft into the case... We had to design and have an adapter machined to mate an NP219 to my AW4 (same problem had I gone from the T-5/tf727 to the NP242. Many of the 242's are 21 spline, while all the FSJ's are 23 spline... anyway, paid $65 for the metal, then another $250 for machining... thought my friend would machine it in the machine shop I had access to, but he couldn't make it up... so I ended up spending more to use the NP219 then if I'd used a 242 from an XJ. :( Oh well, I have a spare NP219 and it may be that the 219 is a sturdier case then the 242, and a lot simpler... >JUST DRIVE THE CAR :) yes sir, I will, but only after converting it to amsoil synthetics and IPF headlights... (just happen to have a set of rectangular IPFs for it... ;) BTW, my friend that bought Fritz went through a rather ugly divorce and is trying to move back east and mentioned he may be selling fritz... fritz was a very nice 2 owner, 3 if you count me, well 4 if you count him... ;) anyway, he replaced the timing chain and dialed it in getting great mileage and also added euro lights! Not sure what he wants for it, but since it's the non-turbo I'm not sure I want to own it again... unless of course the price is right... (my bohemian heritage always comes through... just another crazy hobi picker... ;) (anyone in the Chicago area care to mail me some Praski? ;) sorry for rambling, need to get back to work on ebay stuff... :) http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/dieseljohn/ later, dieseljohn - ----------------------------------------------------- john-at-wagoneers.com http://www.wagoneers.com - - 67 J100 Panel (SJ) - 83 J10 Stepside - superdawg (SJ) - 99 grand cherokee (wj) - for sale??? - '79 Golden Eagle (FSJ) (4 sale) - '87 Cherokee (XJ) - '83 Ford Ranger Diesel - '75 J10 trailer coming soon? - '85 190D? http://wagoneers.com/DieselBenz/190D/ jesus, don't leave life without him, please!

I have a '98 xj with the 4.0 HO motor and am interested in boring the throttle body. From what I gather, what is done is to increase the lower portion of the bore by removing a tapered section. This can be done many different ways. Anybody have any insights into how best to accomplish this at home without access to a machine shop? I have only seen one site that details it, but it is a good site. http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoTBboring.htm Thanks for any input.
