  1. The solution is simple... pump up the volume!
  2. 93 is similar to the 95 (which is really a 94 with a suppliemnt manual) best to go with the year you are looking for as the wiring diagrams tend to change
  3. the tapping is due to the fact that you have hydrolic lifters. It's a fact of life. The only way to eliminate the tapping at cold startup is to let your oil get sludgy enough so it doesn't drain out of the valve cover. Of course, that'd stop the engine noises too. cold startup tapping is just your lifters until they pump up. no biggie.
  4. the zipped pdf's are about 45 or 50 meg. If you are interested in a cd version, pm me and I may have information for you.
  5. all this cause I'm trying to find a mate for the spring I pulled from a jeep-scarce jy.
  6. before dumping it... make sure it's not MAF related. Just because you cleaned it doesn't mean that's not the problem. Mine had a bad connector. start it up and then pull the connector from the MAF. If it makes no difference, I would guess is that your problem is there. If it get's noticably worse, it's not the MAF connector/sensor.
  7. More information than anyone cares.... Jeep offers two basic suspension options on the Grand Cherokee ZJ models, a standard base suspension and an optional UpCountry suspension designed to improve performance in off-road driving. Chrysler makes a variety of springs for the GC. There are two main types, base and HD (heavy duty), and in each type category there are 5-10 different springs with different GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) capabilities. The springs are denoted by a two digit code as well as a part number. Higher GVWR springs from either the base or HD spring tables in the factory parts catalog are stiffer and also raise the vehicle slightly. The UpCountry (off-road) suspension option for the GC includes higher GVWR springs. In addition to whether the ZJ is equipped with standard or UpCountry (option code AWE) suspension as well as what other weight affecting options came from the factory different springs are selected. For example if the jeep has the trailer hitch or skid plate/tow hook package, there would be stiffer springs in the rear to compensate for the weight of these items. The thicker diameter wire indicates an increase in rate. The rate of a spring is proportional to the 4th power of the diameter, so even small differences in diameter make a substantial difference in rate. The UpCountry V8 "GN" code front springs (.600) are 32% stiffer than the stock "FN" code V8 springs (.560) Though I do not have the full specs for the springs available, I have determined through visiting multiple salvage yards that the most common JGC spring (and normal cherokee for that matter) out there are the FJ (.520) springs which, I believe, may give a 4-door pathy with a wheel carrier about 1/2" of lift since the stock springs are only .500 but differ in coil count etc. I was amazed at the quality of the tags remaining on the springs. The following part numbers, codes and wire diameters are known: (so far) part num code dia tag color 52001117 FH - .500 (grey) 52088102 FJ - .520 (green) 52088103 FK - .530 (yellowish. old part number 52001119) 52088181 FL - .540 52088361 FM - .550 (blue) 52088362 FN - .560 (yellow) [definately yellow, just got a pair] 52088104 GK 52088105 GL 52088363 GN - .600 52089141 GP 52089171 DL I'll edit as I gather more info.
  8. hey mws... did ya lift your truck yet? I just found a pair of .55 springs (FM's) and was wondering if I should get them. How much lift did you get (if you did it yet)?
  9. if you have to replace your CV boots, you either need to pull your axle or get boot replacements that are split and can wrap around without pulling the axle. Or... you can do what I did and just wipe it off real good, slap on some good RTV rubber goop and cover it with dry dirt. No cracks... no leaks...
  10. at the bottom of the thread (that you started), I believe youhave the option to delete it. Look on the left to "topic options" or something like that.
  11. says you opens fine for me
  12. those are all .rar files. but... since I don't use Winrar, I can't open one to see what it actually is.
  13. you could double check by dropping the pan, pull the main bearing caps and giving a light tap in the rods to see if the pistons will move in the cylinders. May tell you what is keeping it from turning. Could be all pistons, could be 1, could be the bearings (which are easy to replace)
  14. tipping the tranny will help. the tube on the starter is a breather
  15. ASCD is cruise control only. wiring harness to pump... pump has a vacuum line to the diaphragm... diaphragm has a cable to the throttle body. Easy enough to leave it off.
  16. ACSD = Automatic Speed Control Device. The cable runs over the top of the engine to the firewall in front of the passenger side where it hooks to a diaphram and a pump. there's a pic here
  17. so now we have a pill that "modifies" an entire tank of gasoline?? Lets see...since the pill is only about 1/3000 the volume of a tank of gas, it would be fair to assume that only one in 3000 fuel molecules is modified. Uhh if it is a catalyst, it needs to remain present at the site of the reaction to move from the reacting molecule to the next one in line..since the reaction..burning..happens in the cylinder..how does the pill molecule avoid being blasted out with the exhaust. And how come Detroit or Shell oil doesn't know about this? more snake-oil. I wouldn't waste my time or money
  18. doesn't sound familiar. especially since that's where I just mounted my phone holder. A pic sure would help.
  19. I've been looking at 2 different ones. one is 5 x 15 x 3/4 and the other is 7.5 x 15 x 3/4. Only a difference of a couple dollars but if the bigger won't fit.... you see where I'm going.
  20. for those who could not fit it... was it a depth issue or a length/height issue?
