Update: Last night I pulled out the sensor & gear, put it back in, gave it a couple wiggles and shakes and then put the retaining fork back on... It worked!!! Thanks to everyone for your help and advice. This is by far the most friendly and knowledgeable auto-related forum on the web!

Thanks for the ideas! I'll give it a try tonight.

I have a CSF in my '92 for several years and it's been a good unit. I don't remember it being much thicker than the stock radiator when I installed it. No clearance issues to speak of.

This is a 1992 model with the NP242... I just replaced the Tcase housing (damaged when the rear drive shaft went bye-bye at 70mph on the highway). I think I might have hosed up the speed sensor or speedo gear when I installed it in the new housing. The sensor is threaded, and I heard a...

Bless you, sir! Thank you for the info !!!

1992 XJ Limited. If you get a chance to find an OEM part number that would be great but do not spend a lot of time on it. There is only one Jeep shop (with an actual storefront) here in Wichita, and there is always Craigslist but that can even be hit-or-miss with the XJ parts. Most Jeeps...

OK I'll check into the pick-a-part yards and go from there. Thanks for the input!

I am checking into the salvage options, but most want to sell me the entire Tcase...not too keen on spending $300-$500 on an entire unit when I really only need a part that would probably cost $50-$75. Was hoping that I could buy a new part or NOS part from one of the online sites, but so...

That is odd...maybe the late-model shocks are different? Mine is a 1992...I always thought that the shocks were the same but maybe not. I can dig though my receipts and see if I can find the part number, but it will be some time this evening. Looks like even the entry-level Monroes have a...

I replaced my stock shocks on the 92 Limited with the Monroe Reflex, and used them for several years until I put on a proper lift. They seemed to have good road manners, and even used them with a budget boost for a couple of years and they did fine. The Reflex is more $ than the entry-level...

Lost my rear drive shaft (original slip yoke) a couple of months ago...when it flew out (at 70 mph) it must have whacked the tcase pretty good because it put a couple of cracks in the rear output shaft housing. To clarify, this is also the piece where the speedo gear is located. I was...

Yes, the electric fan runs when AC is turned on. This has a CSF 3core radiator that was repaired... motor mounts gave out durin a wheelin trip and the fan got into the radiator. As soon as I turn the AC off, the temp starts to creep back down to normal range.

If you've got the extra scratch, go for a full leaf pack. I ran a Rusty's AAL on my stock (1992) springs for about five years, and they were okay but when the AAL's finally lost their arch the whole spring pack went flat as a pancake. On it's final wheeling trip with the AAL's, my buddies...

I've tested this twice on the same stretch of highway, headed straight into the wind. It will run at 210 anytime, moving or not. As soon as I turn on the AC, the temp starts to creep up past 240+ I've owned this rig since 2004 and have never put refrigerant in it, but would that have anything...

All great ideas. The TC mod sounds like a mod that I can handle, and the tranny cooler and tranny temp gauge are also getting added to my list. It was rather windy here in the Land of Oz today, but every day is windy. I guess that means it was a normal day, right? Thanks to everyone for...
