How exactly do you go about switching to the 29 spline axles? (OE ones or aftermarket) I know you need new side gears, does that necesitate having a pro set up the whole thing again?? (sorry for the lack of terminology, haven't gotten this far in school yet) I'm really interested in getting an Aussie eventually, as it is evidently simple for the non-pro to install. Just want to know what i'm getting into.

x2 on the track bar. For me it was the mount itself making a sharp *pop* at those low-speeds when you would turn either way. Its bolted on from the factory, weld it on.

Put the seal in tonight, all I can come up with is it was a moisture/dirt seal. And as far as I've heard, you should re-use the MJ prop valve. And it's not necessary to swap the pedal assembly. Its just more work for no gain at all

Of course through all this I've managed to screw something up. So I found this cute little Oring in the bottom of the booster box... seems as if it was supposed to go between the mc and booster... before you bolt them together :clapping: The system works great (as far I can tell, don't really have any comparison to make besides the worn-out OE stuff...), so I'm wondering what this dude is supposed to do??? Any suggestions? Is it just a dust-seal? vacuum seal? Hydraulic seal?!

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=924285 We just ground-out the hole till that little plastic bushing just fit and used a flapper wheel to grind the flat spot. Only problem being that hole needs to be a loose fit for that bushing for the switch to operate... yea, I figured that out when the thing was all installed and put together. So I just removed the little booger and I've got enough wiggle-room for the switch to work now. So when you do yours, make that hole big enough :shake:

Found a writeup on how to home-brew the rod to fit the old style switch. Go Dremmel! :D

Ok, need to know 2 things. -What size line goes into the stock proportioning valve from the MC? (please say 3/16 inverted flare...) -If I decide to go with a different pedal assembly, am I going to have to find a manual-equipped '96 XJ??? (please tell me "no" here, thanks ;) )

http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5840 :beerhead: I might eventually go to the late washer bottle setup, but unless I can find someone parting out an appropriate year XJ and get to it in the next week I'm probably going to just stick with relocating the stock one for now.

I'm shooting for the simplest option really. Read: no caliper upgrades or rear disc conversion. I've read a couple of threads an write-ups on late XJ brake booster and MC upgrades and I like what I read here. http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/te ... pgrade.htm So I'd like to clear up a couple of issues before I tackle it. Will I need to relocate/replace my washer reservoir? Can I keep the '90 brake pedal assembly and use the a different sensor? Basically if anyone has experience with this swap give a shout!

Subscribing... I just discovered a nice HOLE in my floor :D Probably from a water leak. I'm really considering just tearing out the carpet all together and putting undercoating or truck bed liner in its place. Anyone have any negative experiences with that?

Yea... I wasn't going to say it. I say if you're gonna bother (and it will be a pain) you might as well go to something like a turbo Ford 2.3 or any other originally RWD-mounted four that's easy and cheap to get in the first place, has a good reputation for reliability etc., and has a big community of hot-rodders/tuners

Oh, but you're talking about the Jeep-ified "iron duke"... ewww :rotf:

By "Hurricane engine" do you mean the old Jeep F-head deal-yo?? That might be interesting...

One more for the 2.2 being a not-so good choice. I hate to say it 'cause I'm a GM guy at heart, but there are many better choices if you want 4 cyl power... I'm tempted to steer ya toward a Ford SVO turbo 4 banger, now that would be different! But yea, whatever floats your boat dude, that's what its all about! :thumbsup:

sweetness!

bolts go through the output yoke into the double cardon joint. All the ones I've messed with are tight as all getout... be carefull not to round the bolt heads over!

I would love to have one of these someday, except I would mate it to an AMG242 (Hummer case) 8)

I was thinking I could maybe retain all the accessories (lights, etc.) of the old harness and use the H.O. to run the engine. I know hot-roders do this all the time retrofitting late model EFI powertrains into old platforms. I can't think of any problems except the fuel pump stuff, the AC clutch, and making sure that power's getting to both... anyone see any other problems???

Ok what about using the H.O. harness as a standalone...

Ok I've got my pinout, and it looks like the connector itself is the same as the '91. So hopefully I'll be able to switch just a couple of wires around and get it to work. (I'll probably be asking further questions in that area... stay tuned). Still looking for as many pictures of H.O. engine bays as I can get ahold of. Boilermaker was able to grab a few, but the more the merrier! :cheers:

Ok I'm gonna need some info asap guys, the only things holding me up from tearing into this thing tonight is knowing what I'm gonna have to do with this bulkhead connector issue. I'm confident I'll be able to figure out the rest of the loose ends, but I at least need to know what the configuration is on the '90-style bulkhead. I'm super-anxious to get this underway, and I don't have any issue jumping right in, but I'm going to be bumming rides and inconvieniencing my family while the truck's down... so it's not entirely up to me.

ok I've got the pinout diagram for the '91 harness, but the pdf file I have for the '90 doesn't have a corresponding picture for me to go by... Also, I could use some pictures of how the MAF sensor hooks up, and the whole right side of the engine bay for that matter. For instance: Can't find which one goes here... if I had a HO engine bay to look at it would make things easier, but I don't so pictures will have to suffice. Much thanks again

I think you got the second and third pics switched... oh well. That connector I'm holding by the throttle body definately doesn't have a place to connect to. My wiring diagram for the '91 says I should have a MAP sensor. The crank position sensor is right at the back of the head, and I don't see a cam position sensor (only two cps sensors I could come up with :???: ) The only reason I'm asking these questions is I have to make sure this harness will work before I go tearing into doing the swap. I can only afford my truck to be down for so long unfortunately. Thanks again for all the help :cheers:
