Hi Im new here. I bought a 96 dakota (2.5L) had a knock so bought my friend totaled cherokee & swaped the engine. It was surprisingly easy or so I thought.
1ST ran good cold but when warmed ideld rough engine light came on (advacedauto tester said- Ingition control or misfire) (Snap on tool siad- "Fuel sending unit voltage too high/low) Never heard that 1 so..:-|
Did FULL tune up- No help still acting stupid:-|
2nd did compression test & 3rd cyl was @ 90PSI others @ 150PSI so "OFF WITH ITS HEAD"
3RD now a dodge head's on a jeeps engine in a dakota new gaskets full tune up ect. P.S-checked the timing chain seemed tight so i left it lone. I noticed the 3rd and 5th push rod is so loose i could take it out with my hand. I though "maybe it need to pump itself up" NO:x!!!
I ran till normal temp (ran like it was on life support) so i took the v-cover off and the 3rd & 5th pushrods r still loose as ever. I was told the lifters have collaped. Is this sound right & How IN THE WORLD do i get them out?:?: & what all do i need to fix it.
HELP ME I NEED MOPAR EXPERTS!!! Im just a sared little import man who is lost in Mopar Country.
