Are these sold yet? If not, I'd like them.

Has anyone tried one of the Zirgo electric fans you can find on Ebay? There's some 3300 CFM 16" for $100, and some 2700 CFM 14" fans for around $60. Any opinions? Shawn

Hmm, that depends on what you're looking for. I just went through this with my father in-law. If you buy an 89, I hope you are getting a good deal, and I hope you intend to work on it. If that's not the case, you are much better off with a newer model, like a 96. Here's some of the problems...

Maybe I can help out here. I recently swapped out my Bendix system for a 96. I posted my notes from that at http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=229588#post229588 I got the parts from egypt1, http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25261. In my dealings with him, he has been...

Actually, I'm not sure if that's the correct term. My FSM calls it a vacuum motor. It is the flying saucer shaped thing with an actuator arm coming out of it under the lower dash panel on the passengers side, right above where a passengers shins would be. There are no wires to it, only a...

Have you checked out the suspension modifications on this page? http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/ Shawn

Quarterwave, FWIW, I had my 89 XJ in the shop yesterday to find a leak in the A/C. They told me they couldn't find one in the engine bay, but it might be under the dash. I told them I would take the dash out and bring it back. I went to turn on the A/C, but the fan wouldn't blow. If I turned...

I had the same problem, until the booster finally went dead completely. I did a bunch of research on the www, but some things I had to figure out for myself. 1. The '96 seems to be the best year to swap in. It's a double diaphragm booster, and it fits. No rod swap, no pedal swap. You will...

Hi, I had the same problem on my '89 XJ, the Bendix ABS kept going out. I sent some emails, and got a reply back from the recall folks. They said take it to the dealer out in town here in Catania, Italy ASAP. The dealer said he could fix it maybe in six months. Long story short, last week I...

I don't have one, but if you find one can you let me know?

Which systems does the Renix computer controll? Obviously fuel and spark, but does it also handle things like torque converter lock up and shift points? I'm curious as I am considering replacing it with a programable unit for fuel and spark.

Actually by IATS, I meant manifold air temperature sensor. (MAT). Sorry if I caused any confusion.

Hello, I am hoping to get help with some measurements. I have an '89 with the (failed)POS Bendix brakes, and plan on replacing the master cylinder/booster/proportioning valve with one from a '96. While I'm at it, I'm going to relocate my IATS to the airtube, which will free up a hole in the...

Hi, has anyone used this type of light? I'm looking to upgrade the stock lights on my '89. I have found them for: Regular price: $749.00 Sale price: $299.00. Any idea why they would be over half off? Are they worth the money, or would an IPF upgrade be money better spent? Thanks for your time.
