    Puzzeled by YJ brake problem

    My YJ won't build up brake peddle, I know that's usually air in the system but after repeatably pumping fluid through it I find no evidence of air. It started after I replaced the front calipers when both became hot after a short drive, they clearly weren't fully releasing. After replacing the...

    E-fan controller from wrecking yard

    Ready to install my wrecking yard e-fan into '93 2.5 yj and have a question for you motor heads out there. I didn't think of it when I pulled the two speed fan from the ford cougar (fits perfect) but can't I use a fan controlller from another doner car, anyone out there done that before? I'd...

    Bad coil?

    I rebuilt a 2.5 recently and just got it buttoned up in my 94 YJ, tried to start it for the first time Saturday and it turns over but won't run, I suspected an ignition issue so I've been poking around and think it might be a bad coil. I checked the primary and secondary and the values are...

    Please check I've been quoted fairly

    I bought a 93' 2.5 engine from Craigslist last week that I'm going to have rebuilt to replace a very tired 2.5 in my '93 YJ, I got my first quote today from the local auto machine shop for "about" $1300. The machinist said other than increasing the deplacement a bit he'd upgrade the cam and work...

    Not a big deal or pain in the garage?

    I'm shopping for a 2.5 injected engine to rebuild and drop into my 94 YJ. I found one on Craigs List out of an 89 however the seller writes below that "you would have to swap all your external parts onto the block and head as the computer and sensors are differnet".. my question to the forum is...

    Why lube the tube?

    Just got finished installing a TJ axle in my '93 YJ and have a lingering question I hope someone will answer. Why is the passenger side or "outside" seal outboard of the vacuum motor housing that's no longer housing anything? Why waste expensive gear lube down the tube when there's nothing to...

    '93 YJ; simple axle seal r & r now more?

    Wrenching on my 1st jeep, a '93 YJ 2.5L 5 speed with vacuum shifted Dana 30 axle. The plan was to simply replace the axle seals & except for now replaceing the steering dampner, tie rod grease cups & front shocks it remains the same. The problem I've run into is the passenger side axle tube...

    YJ's e'brake d.o.a.

    Well before I tear the emergency brake assembly out of the cab thought I'd ask if anyone could suggest an easier route. Pulled it in to the drive-way tonight pushed down the e'brake and it wouldn't "catch" or hold. Chilton's is no help, can anyone explain how the rachet mechanism works? I can...

    Follow-up question on a YJ exhaust manifold

    A couple of questions about an exhaust manifold. First, I was told that since my YJ came stock with a cast iron manifold it has to be replaced by cast iron only, I can't replace with a stainless steel one... Is that right? Also, an opinion on a supplier, has anyone heard of A-1 Supply located in...

    Point the way to shop manual for '93 YJ?

    Can anyone suggest a supplier of factory repair manuals who isn't putting a kid through college? I have a '93 YJ I'm trying to recover over the winter and Chilton's isn't cutting it anymore, not enough detail. Is it above board to share copies of the manuals? Thanks for any suggestion or direction.

    Visible front turn signal's

    Just sharing that after just about being taken out by a Budweiser truck coming home Friday night I installed additional front turn signals on my '93 YJ. My stock ones are practicaly hidden by the winch cover & bumper tubes so I thought I'd try this at least through the dark of winter. I mounted...

    '93 YJ flashing(?) 4x4 dash indicator

    So we finally got snow in the Pacific NW & I'm having a blast driving my '93 2.5 manual YJ I bought a year ago. Question, I noticed the 4x4 indicator light is flashing about every 1/2 second however it's not consistantly flashing during the drive. I'm sure I'm "all the way in" & it's too...

    My '93 YJ switch mystery

    According to my local Chrsyler/Jeep dealer I don't have one of these, no not that and get your minds out of the gutter.. shame on you. No, what I appearantly shouldn't have is a spring loaded plastic "stud or push pin" that passes through the drivers door piller, but I do & it looks stock...

    How the heck to remove both shift levers?

    My first jeep and I'm lov'n it, you can reach everything and it makes sense, usally, the way it's engineered, built and fits. Mine is a '93 YJ w/ 2.5 liter 5 spd manual.. & here's the question. I recently pulled the shift boot & seperate "gasket" underneath intended to block vapors, noise etc...

    Doesn't seem likely but maybe...

    I'm cleaning up a recently purchased '93 YJ & I've run into a question with the fuel guage. I had the gauge "cluster" pulled out while cleaning the dash & I physically moved the fuel guage needle from empty to full. Now the guage needle doesn't change position as it should when power is put to...
