Thanks salad

I don't have a naxja account. That link came up when I Google it and I don't feel like filling out an internet form on my phone. Lol

Two questions came found reading some info.

Obviously the drive shafts are different lengths. I have sye for a 231 to install with this swap, I was going to use a front ds with it. But wouldn't the manual drive train need a longer shaft in back and shorter front? So I'm thinking now the front Ds on the back may not work maybe I'll try one from a v8 zj?

Second, the ecu. I'm 99% sure its there on the parts car. But if its not. What does it need? As far as Ive read the NSS and possibly the cps. Both of which I could grab, if they're there.

I also understand I need the flex plate and dust covers. So add it to the list.

Or the pre heat tube. You don't need the pre heat tube. I deleted mine.

Hey guys. Wj question. My wife's wj keeps spitting the 1899 code. (Faulty NSS) I have replaced it and flashed the computer. It still shows Cel with same code. Any ideas?

NewKindOfClown

I haven't had the misfortune yet of a faulty NSS, but is there a sensor or wire that may be bad instead of the NSS itself? I'm not familiar with the system.

96xjclassic

I have no clue. I might just have to take it somewhere. Stupid wj's.

Hey how do you guys feel about amsoil and their products. They claim one type I their oil I good for a year. Just curious

Oil should be changed every 3000 period

I'm finally replacing the axle seals in my front end after getting it all apart and the old seals out( the old seals looked pretty good) I notice that where the seals press into there is a rubber seal is this an easy replacement? whats the part called? is it just to keep fluid from going between the outside of the seal and the axle housing? Thanks

sycoglitch

Haha, trust I know that but how you feel about the quality of their products in general that what I'm curious about. My fluids get checked and changed on the regular

Depends on the vehicle and driving habits. For example, the XJ's manual has two different maintenance schedules, one calls for 3000 mi oil changes, the other for 5000 mi. 3000 mile oil change business started back when lubricants were crap (compared to today) and it's been kept going by the oil companies. In reality you have to address two different problems, the build up of soot, and the oil itself breaking down, in terms of detergents and it's ability to lubricate and protect and maintain the correct viscosity. Basically if you run a good synthetic and a high capacity filter you are *probably* good to run for an extended period, like maybe 6000 miles if your engine is in good shape. Just make sure to check it frequently. Though if you do something back-asswards like run a Fram you should change your oil very frequently regardless of what you dump in or how you drive it. lol

In amongst the stuff on http://www.bobistheoilguy.com I found these links. They're obviously not the 4.0L but the same general concepts apply:

Thanks for the links, some good reading. I don't want to start an oil debate here, which tends to happen no matter the question. I've stayed consistent with an My oil on the xj and alitima. I've seen amsoil in alot of magazines and such and was curious how it was.

Planning a junkyard run today. Can i get a 99+ intake manifold from any jeep 4.0 or does it have to be an XJ 99+ intake??
