    You should be able to cover any reflective areas with baby powder. You don't have to use the expensive special sprays they offer.

    1994 FZJ80 Odometer Quit, Speedometer Still Works

    Was driving the other day and noticed that the speedometer jumped around for a bit and then went back to working properly. Later I noticed that the odometer had quit working at 340K miles. I haven't dug into the dash yet but has there been a common weak point in the cluster I should look at...

    Odd Fuel Gauge Behavior '94

    Sorry to take so long to get back to you. In my situation is was a combo of the fuel level sending unit, the load of the trailer changing the angle of the fuel tank and the 28 year old original sock/fuel pump intake filter. I have never run my tank dry after the low fuel light has come on, so...

    '94 FZJ80 CEL goes ON only for a few minutes when cold, DTC #25 or #26 in memory

    When I have had codes in the past they would stay ON until the problem was repaired. Recently when the engine is cold and I drive for a mile or few the CEL comes ON and then turns off after a couple minutes. The CEL does not return until after the engine is off and returns to a cold temp after...

    Please share your story as to how you came into your 80. #longlivemy80

    I moved from the city to the country about 13 years ago. I was tired of repairing the diffs, axles and transfer cases of Grand Cherokees so I found a triple locked '94 LC with 160k miles on CL for a couple $K and got rid of the Jeeps. The previous owner also threw in a bunch of extra parts that...

    Aluminum Radiator

    https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ebay-aluminum-radiator.464068/post-13960540 Going on two years now and no problems. Drove it around the first summer without a fan shroud and never near overheating in traffic on 38°C (100°F) days.

    Odd Fuel Gauge Behavior '94

    Went on a planned 800 mile R.T. trip yesterday with my '94 pulling a small rented trailer. Fuel tank was topped off at the start. 180 miles in I suddenly realize that my tank is sitting below Empty. I could swear it was just near half on the gauge. The low fuel lamp is NOT on though. I...

    Around here the driving style is mostly "race to the next red light". I am very serious and important person, yet I don't need to get there only a few seconds earlier than I could have. Many drivers don't seem to ever consider the conservation of momentum, lower MPG and fewer service intervals...

    400HP? Everybody knows that anything under 500HP is just a washing machine engine. 8.6L Chevy BB just use a bigger and better fuel pump and looked for used vs new :) 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission https://www.zf.com/products/en/cars/products_29289.html Carriers and axles...

    '94 FZJ Another Mysterious Coolant Leak (above trans)

    Replaced the radiator, big hoses and clamps several weeks ago. Noticed that my coolant level was 1 liter (~1 quart) or so low every few days but never saw a drip. I'd smell antifreeze while driving on hot days but never see a leak. Got worried it was the head gasket again or heater core...

    I've towed my own weight at 55mph uphill both ways using only four of six cylinders.

    Can you swap to a V8 in CA as long as you also swap the factory ECU? Say you swap everything over from a 200 into an 80, do they check to see if the ECU matches the year and make of the body?

    250K is just the break in period for the 1FZ-FE. Mr T just skimped on a bit of bit of metal for the gasket around #6. Save the need for acceleration for a vehicle 2-3K lbs lighter.
