i second the suggestion of bypassing the connector.i have personally done it several times on different renix 4.0s over the years.

the problem is finding or repairing the seat braces.going through this myself now.i was able to salvage the passenger side but i don't have anything left of my driver side brace.

does anybody know if the frame cap piece that the seats bolt are being reproduced or if anybody has a used one for sale?i managed to save the passenger side but there is literally nothing left of the drivers side to repair.i have replaced the floor pans and i need to just mount the drivers seat to start being semi roadworthy.moderators please move if its in the wrong section.

I'm still waiting on the floor braces for the seat tracks.i heard rumors they were going to reproduce those at one time.

no kidding.i need the seat braces.i would gladly buy both sides if they made them.i don't even have a driver side to even build one off of it.

exactly.you need to remove both axles to pull the carrier out to install the seal.its not super hard,just time consuming.

va is the same way.i bought a f150 about 8 years ago and the seller{an older woman}put her name on a line that it didnt belong.the lady at the dmv went nuclear and i had to drive 50 miles back to where i bought the truck and have the woman fill out an affidavit to make it right.i won't put all dmv's in this catergory because i have been a few really helpful dmv's in my state but my local dmv is one of the worst.

i did the axle swap in my old 88 mj.the only real hard part was you have to remove the carrier to install a seal in the housing.i got tired of in the winter somehow i would get moisture in my vacuum lines and it would freeze up when i needed 4 wheel the most.

its a real pain in the state of va.i know every state has different guidelines.

i done this on my 88 when i had it.if your old injectors are in good working shape you really won't see much improvement.there really isnt anything to reset anything on the renix system if you do change the injectors.it won't hurt anything if you do upgrade the injectors.

a fusible link is a wire

was it a burnt fusible link?

i used the performance products on my old 88 mj and it worked fine.i try to stay away from dorman on the balancers.have had way to many of them fail after 6 months of us.

i used it on my gfs 95 4.0 zj.it helped alittle when it was extremely hot outside.the factory started using these on later 4.0s because exhaust manifold heat could cause the center injectors to vapor lock especially during very hot days.

damn didnt know they started making that now.i can save my gfs 95 zj front axle now.

it takes an allen wrench in the hole.also make sure the bleeder end is facing up when installed.

the cherokee rear pans will work but they require alittle cutting and bending.i just did this on my 86,take your time cutting the old floor pan out.it takes a little patience plus a good spot weld cutter or drill bit and a air chisel is nice as well.

usually when reverse acts up its the trans itself.

i used the hesco water pump and t stat housing on my old 88 mj.the w/p had a bad bearing after 2 days of use that of course they wouldnt warranty and i never could get the t stat housing to seal right.i put a parts store gmb pump and the factory housing back and had no problems.

luk clutchs are all i use at my shop.luk actually makes alot of the oem clutchs

thanks ill check it out

where is the ground for the instrument cluster in an 86 mj?my cluster goes haywire when you turn the dash lights on and i want to check the ground.

i ordered mine and they got here friday.ive got the same problem being 6'1 as well.

the nexen roadian a/t is a good tire as well.

mine are way worse than that.i went ahead and ordered the cherokee rear pans from quadratec(the key parts brand).i'll see how they fit when they get here.
