It only works with the newer intake I take it? My pump is also starting to go, could be a worthwhile swap, and there's a few more WJs around the yard here.JeepComanche89 said:

What did you do to your XJ/MJ today?
seriously, one of these threads needs to stay alive in the XJ/MJ section and what better time to get a real one going then now with the creation of the XJ/MJ GD. now, lets keep this going.
for me, all i did today was take pictures of my newly cut front bumper.

'00 XJ not quite there..
I'll buy it from you for 101 hahachriskeenan said:Bought it a snorkel, 100$ from a local club member, is not name brand or anything but it feels solid and looks good.
I threw a new distributer cap and button in mine no more miss or check engine light.
I believe its a direct bolt to the newer HO intakes. Or closer to bolt on i guess. Im still confused as to what is involved to do the swap. I still have not found a clear answer. Some people say its the same pump footprint as the HO's, but you need to rig up a set of lines as far as I know. And also people have been describing a constant whine, which can possibly be solved by a in line cooler.It only works with the newer intake I take it?

My OEM pump , with 199K on it , has an almost constant whine .And also people have been describing a constant whine, which can possibly be solved by a in line cooler.
By having the HO in my XJ, would I possibly already have the better pump?I believe its a direct bolt to the newer HO intakes. Or closer to bolt on i guess.

Mine only whines when turning, but it keeps cutting out on me and it gets annoying.pdcomm said:My OEM pump , with 199K on it , has an almost constant whine .
No dont believe so. Apparently the theory is that the WJ is a heavier vehicle, and has a more powerful pump with the same foot print as a HO XJ.S8NNG8 said:By having the HO in my XJ, would I possibly already have the better pump?
Does anyone know if a 87 would be wired fir an e fan if it did not come with one factory?
If this describes your rig, then your rig is the one to check for that answer. I had an '87, but it was a 2.5.Does anyone know if a 87 would be wired fir an e fan if it did not come with one factory?
Blew it up lol
What a fun app

Im aware lol. I just didnt know if it was a common thing that they all were or none were wired or something. I took a quick look and didnt see anything, but couldn't remember if it was hidden behind the header panel or something. Something tells me it was but i could just be fantasizing lolS8NNG8 said:If this describes your rig, then your rig is the one to check for that answer. I had an '87, but it was a 2.5.
So got a couple things out of a 97+ XJ today. A guy i knew had it and it was going to scrap so he let me snag a few things before hand. I got a dome light with map lights, some nice sunvisors, a brand new donut, and a electric fan. Might grab the wheels too.
And i finally found the mysterious noise. Its the altenator lol. Big relief

You know I had some mystery noises and after I replaced my alternator they went away! Ironically I also had a knocking kinda sound when I let the clutch out that I couldn't pin point, a piece of exhaust fell off and now no more knocking.JeepComanche89 said:So got a couple things out of a 97+ XJ today.

Haha nice. Yeah i had no idea what it was. And the noise i heard with the belt off (someone pointed out) was probably just because the engine was hot and the rad and everything was expanding. And i started it ice cold without a belt and no noise this time :laugh:. So the alts good for now. When it blows up i might buy a mean green, this is the second napa thats went on me.rebelbowtie said:You know I had some mystery noises and after I replaced my alternator they went away!

I finally finished up several related mods/upgrades. New radiator , replaced belt driven fan with Taurus 4000 CFM fan. The fan was dragging down my Alternator & Battery, so I ordered a 160 amp Alt from LActrical. Then I went ahead and did the "Big 3" wiring upgrade to make sure I didn't fry anything! Learned more of what NOT to do instead of the opposite !! Can already feel a bit of extra HP and the new Alt is working out great!!!
Ok so Im gonna finnaly do the leds in the interior. Need to go find some courtesy light sockets somewhere in my "junkyard" or if I dont have any I might go cut some out of that other XJ I got parts off of today. So I guess I need to find some sockets before I order the leds. And I forget what kind you need for the cluster so I will order them all tomorrow I suppose. :thumbsup:
They are a wedge base. Don't recall the size. I ordered all mine through superbrightleds.com. They have a bulb finder, which was accurate. The switches and stuff in the 97+ dash take a twist lock, which I had to find myself. I went by the dimension specs they listed on their site.JeepComanche89 said:Ok so Im gonna finnaly do the leds in the interior.
