Not a WJ. ZJ and XJ are essentially the same.

8. ZJ and WJ stock tranny coolers with stacked plates (even an upgrade for us with the stock fin style)

What year should I use to put on my 95? Any years within the zj and wj?

Also is the sway bar upgrade from XJ to zj worth it?

Do a 93'-94' exploder tranny cooler, bigger and better. It's what I have and it fits nicely in front of the clutch fan

Nope. I've got a '99 with one and a '98 without. Both 29-spline.

I believe they were found to be significantly different shape, I didn't see a point. Maybe if you're racing.

So cruiser "forgot" to answer my question. What size are the TC crossmember bolts. Keep getting different answers.

I didn't forget. I don't know the answer. If it wasn't so late, I'd go pull one out of the MJ and measure it.

Default Lights all dimming

Hi. I have a 1994 xj. My lights dim at idle. Head lights, dash lights, my blinker slows way down, and my heater will lower its power too. When I rev up rPM's or drive it all goes back to normal. I have replaced the alternator yesterday, the battery is about 1 year old. Battery connections are good and clean. I can't figure out what the heck is causing the fluctuation in power. It runs fine and starts fine every time. It's just annoying. Especially how slow the blinker starts to tick. Anyone have any ideas or had this same problem with a solution? I don't have a big stereo or anything like that to drain power. I don't get it. Also the volt meter on the dash drops down too. And goes back up with higher rpms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did the battery die on you recently? The computer will start up X amount of times and default to a very low idle until it re-learns the motor. Then it will start up into the open-loop high-rev and normal idle that you're used to.

You've actually cleaned the terminals/posts at the battery, right? What about the other end of the cables?

Also, try removing that braided ground cable from the firewall. Scrape the area under it to bare metal. Add a 4 gauge cable from there to the intake manifold, leaving the braided cable there also.

From my "Tips" link


A suggestion regarding the braided cable:
I prefer to add a #4 Gauge cable from the firewall to a bolt on the rear of the intake manifold, either to a heat shield bolt or fuel rail bolt. A cable about 18” long with a 3/8” lug on each end works great and you can get one at any parts store already made up. Napa has them as part number 781116.

Can you obtain a voltage reading across the battery terminals at idle with a multimeter?
