Re: Re: low oil pressure at operating temp Yeah, I'm sorry. My fault, but I blame Google....

I had a similar situation with the 2000 I just picked up. Good (40psi) oil pressure on startup, and dropped as it warmed up. Talked to a Chrysler tech at work, and looked up some info. The oil pressure switches in these get real sensitive to temperature over time. If you have access to scan...

I see this as being the issue as well, but the only cable I've ever heard of referred to the "detent" is the cable running from the throttle body to the transmission to control shifts under load. Now that we are on the same page, is there an adjustment to this cable or delete "mod" for this? I...

the detent cable assists in controlling the shift points under load, and shouldn't have anything to do with being able to move the shifter out of the Park position.

when we re-installed the NSS, we made sure it would start in park and neutral, as well as the reverse lights work, but if i'm not mistaken, the main issue is the release for the shifter to come out of park?

anyone know the build date when they did the firewall changeover? that would be awesome.

very true.... i have very little in it, and with the amount of rust on it, i wouldnt be able to get much out of it. but, the cab itself is fine, the bed is going to get scrapped and the frame rails are fine. its a perfect shell to build a truggy. i just want some more power with as little...

before i jump to v8 power, i would really just prefer building a decent 4.0/4.6 to put in. my biggest concern is the firewall and core support stuff. i am still somewhat confused. i know the 2.8 to 4.0 swap is difficult, but why would the firewall be different for the 2.5? is it because of motor...

i bought a winter beater with potential to be a trail rig when spring comes around. but the truck came with the little 2.5L and AX4. when i put my full-size axles and larger tires on it, i need more power. i have heard that to fit the 4.0 in the older body the firewall and core support need to...

from past experience i know that if your tps isn't functioning properly your transmission will not shift worth a darn. the transmission uses the tps to tell it when exactly to shift. i had a similar issue on my 89 renix jeep i replaced the tps and it worked fine. i havent had a problem with it...

it may be a dumb idea, but a wheelin buddy of mine (chevy guy) told me that in order to make the starter work all i had to do is ground that little wire out to engage the starter. i ran some heavier gauge speaker wire from a switch to my firewall ground and connected the wire that went from the...

my 89 is currently doing something similar. (annoying the crap outta me) i just came back from 6 months of training for the national guard and now i dont have transportation. i got it to crank a couple of times the other night by grounding the little wire from the solenoid to the negative...

i had similar problems with my 87 limited(R.I.P.) and i found the majority of the moisture to come in from the seams around the rear wheel wells under that foam sealant. sounds like a bit of a mess. good luck with it.

thanx for the heli-coil reminder i have used it before on another application but never thought about it for this...

i used the original bolts..... automatic..... not sure about the size, its been a while since i've checked. just came back to town after being away for 6 months and i dont really feel like working on it alot right now. I just want to get it fixed so i can get back on the road.
