I'm rebuilding my shop starting this weekend, too bad you're not closer, I'd have you come over and make me an offer on all my xj parts. Omega is sold... taking it to the shipper next week... once my carport is rebuilt I'm going to retrieve SuperDawg and look for a 6.5L Suburban for the driveline. :) I'm going to do the next one myself... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold * SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL * * SAVE ELECTRICITY use Linux: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf * http://wagoneers.com http://wagoneers.com/johns-vehicles.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, 23 Aug 2008, Jesse Barbieri wrote: # ***Please take time to read it all. Only takes a moment.*** # # # Hi everybody. I am sure most have forgotten, as I almost have, about my OBD2 # '89 XJ project with a '99 XJ engine and emissions. I have a couple parts that # I still need and then I think it will be near completion, minus the interior. # The parts I am looking for are as follow: # # 1. Exhaust Downpipe. I cannot find this anywhere. I don't want to get a # junkyard one, but might have to. # 2. Ignition switch spring. This is the spring that makes the ignition key # spring back to "RUN" from "START" so the key does not just stay in the # "START" position. # 3. Gas tank straps with hardware. The gas tank I have is from a '99 cherokee # and my body is an '89 cherokee. Everything is perfect, minus the tank # straps which are not there. The tank is being held up by jackstands but I # cannot drive it like this. Safety first, right? # 4. Radiator. Not sure which years will fit, but I imagine any XJ open system # radiator will fit. Must be automatic. # 5. OBD2 port. Yes, I forgot to pick this up from the donor vehicle I took the # harness from. I only need the plug and atleast 1" of wire. # # # Questions: # 1. Can anybody tell me (on their open cooling system) if there is a valve # under the hood to close the heater core? # 2. Can anybody tell me (on a closed cooling system) if there is a valve in the # cabin to close the heater core? # # I am unsure about this. My '87 has an external valve, but has vacuum hoses # going through the firewall next to the heater core pipes. Same way on the # '89, minus the external valve because I ripped it out two years ago. # # Everything is exactly the same as it was two years ago when I put this project # on hold. I am pumped about finishing it now, especially since I am # considering selling the '87 XJ with 33x14.50s and factory Dana44. Don't # worry, you all will be notified. # # Please, Please let me know if anybody has these parts laying around. # # # Status: # # The engine is in, tank is in, emissions crap is in. Engine starts perfectly, # have my MSD 6A connected, tach responds instantly, battery charges. I am # using the original '89 transmission computer. I already have the electric # switches to control gears so I figured I would keep them. Also have the # torque converter lockup switch. So pretty much the '99 ECU will only know # that the engine is running. It will not know how fast the car is going, what # the battery temperature is, which gear the tranny is in. Kind of like # MegaSquirt but stock ecu. If I only knew about MegaSquirt when I started this # project. That would have saved hundreds of wiring issues. # # I literally took three wire harnesses and made one. I will have pictures # of all of my progress posted someday. John, can I email these to you to put # in Jesse85? # # # Jesse. # ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:00:42 -0400 From: Jason.Walker-at-apcc.com Subject: xj: JASON WALKER is out of the office. I will be out of the office starting 08/22/2008 and will not return until 08/25/2008. I will be out of the office today with no access to email or voicemail. Please call my cell phone (215 901 7669) with anything urgent. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:39:19 -0400 From: "Jesse Barbieri" Subject: xj: front pipe / down pipe Does anybody have a front pipe for a '99 cherokee that needs a home? I have been looking everywhere for one and it seems that there is nothing available under $80.00 which seems a bit much for this pipe. This is the pipe that connects the exhaust manifold to the cat. This is a $20 part for the '87-'90 4.0L engines. The only thing that changed was a bend. And it is a little shorter I think.
