Go to the forums button, go to the forum you want a thread in and click the upper right button for iPhone and I think left for droid, Correct me on that if I'm wrong, and choose to start a new thread

Want to do this:
"11. You can convert the closed system to open without replacing your radiator by using the fill cap from a 4.7 durango or dakota, cutting it into your upper hose, and replace your bottle with an MJ overflow tank or any that fit. Then cap off or eliminate the T'ed lines in the heater core."

Is there a write-up out there that I can't find?

Default Instrument Cluster

Hi...i have an 88 cherokee with an instrument cluster that just has the fuel gauge and speedo. I was wondering if i got one that has all gauges (speedo, rpm,fuel,coolant,oil press,volts) will it just plug in and will all gauges work?

Thanks

You don't even have a coolant temp gauge?

Not sure about the Renix but with later models this is totally doable. Aside from the cluster, the temp sensors need to be replaced with ones that provide real values and not just dummy on/off signals

the wiring is all there, you just need to get a cluster, makes it a whole lot easier and swap your oil, temp sensors and you should be good.

Default Electric Window Issues

My passenger window dose not work from the passenger control.

It usually works from the drivers control. Today I put the passenger window down a few inches using the drivers control. Then when I tried to put it up nothing happened. Open and closed the passenger door and then I was able to put the window up with the drivers control. Still not action from the passengers side control.

What do I look for when I remove the passenger door panel.
