Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Well it started with a misfire every now and then then it started miss firing and sputtering a lot. And when it did I'd see white smoke out the stack.
So my dad popped the secondary release on the rad cap and the antifreeze came out all foamy and raindow colored like when you see puddles with oil in them. Now it wants to stall.
The over heating light was on. But the sender isn't even wired up so I didn't pay much attention to it.

That's going to be a production... 6cyl obd to a 4cyl renix body.
Prepare for splicing and a LOT of swapping!

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I planned on just swapping all the wireing in as well and maybe the dash. Idk if its going to be that intensive I might just do the head gasket.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
What year is it again?
You don't have to fabricate anything to drop a 4.0 into an 87-90 Renix AFAIK.
If you have the dash/wiring/motor/mounts/crossmember, then it should all bolt in.
The only thing you may have to splice into is the MJ rear tailight wiring and maybe the brake light switch.

In that case you're screwed. But since I'm a nice guy I can come pick them both up to bring em to the scrap yard for you. :thumbup:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Yeah, everything will bolt in, it's just gonna involve swapping the harness, dash harness (since one's RENIX and the other is OBD... AFAIK they don't plug together), frame mounts, engine, driveshafts (time to make a new rear shaft), exhaust, etc etc.
The fuel level will go backwards since it'll be a RENIX MJ sender and an OBD instrument panel, ask me how I know. And 91-92 MJ senders are unobtainium.

I had a RENIX sending unit in a '91 XJ for a while and the same thing happened, gas gauge went backwards.
I thought it was hilarious.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
