Are the inlet and outlet different Sizes.  Never mind.  That would depend on what engine is in the XJ.

Easiest way to find out would be to go to Napa, kragen, etc's website and see if they cross reference.

According to the factory service manual, maintenance schedule B, the fuel filter should be replaced at 60,000 miles. Of course it should also be replaced if you suspect fuel contamination. This job is straightforward but messy with hazardous material involved. Tools required are a 10 mm. socket, needle-nose pliers, maybe a small flat screwdriver, plenty of rags, a spill container and safety goggles. You can go to Mopar for an OEM part or to an auto parts store for a like replacement such as this Fram part number G-7399.

1. make sure the fan is not spinning backwards (airflow should be thru the radiator towards the engine bay)
2. verify when the fan is turned on (what temperature)

You wanted to use a XJ exhaust and radiator on your YJ?   :uhoh:  I can tell you that it won't work.

Early XJ's were prone to overheating as well.  It's so common you could say it was the norm.

All I did was flush it and add a fan, well the mechanic added the fan. Still using the original 2.5 exhaust and radiator from my 90 YJ with the 88 4.0

This is one of my few issues.  at least it goes down the street, but back fires alot :(

the 2.5 exhaust might not handle the 4.0 and will need to be upgraded.  The cooling system, and the fuel pump.  If it isn't a crossover part I will have to get a new tank and fuel pump.  This is what I get for listening to the first mec in nevada saying the 88 renix is fine, work just fine. fml

* I knew I should have went to mec school instead of computers... some days at least

It's a big jump from your original question to this new predicament.  If you were trying to get parts fro teh YJ you would have been better off just buying the parts.  Fuel filters get replaced once in a while and seeing as how the XJ is older then your YJ, it would not be advisable even if they were compatible.  Not to mention you were comparing a TBI 2.5L XJ to a MPFI Renix YJ.  Just about everything is different between them.  At least if you want it to be bolt-on.

People keep getting the models confused and it could be because of me so let me go back to step one.

2.5 YJ 1990 was the original engine - everything else on it is for the 2.5 minus the engine, trans, t-case

donor 1988 cherokee, I have the engie from that - a Ax15 and new Tcase.

So radiator, exhaust, fuel system (tank, filter, pump) is off a 2.5 1990 YJ.
