What's the part number of your ECU? Is it rusted away?

I've never seen an TPS adjustment procedure for any of the HOs. And all the other sensors are the same p/n's regardless of the transmission. Except for the ECU. What's the p/n on your ECU tag? Looks like it should be either 56041667AD or 56041588AA for the standard transmission, federal emission - non-Cali cars. Maybe you have the wrong one in there...

You have two cables running from your shifter to the AW4. One is the gearshift cable, (53004561, CABLE, Gearshift Lever, 92") which runs from the shifter out through the left firewall then down to the AW4 shifter pawl, and the interlock cable, (53004560, CABLE, Gearshift Park Lock, 47") that runs out through the tranny tunnel to the AW4 Park lever. Which cable do you need and where does each exit through the firewall on your 90? I can't verify as I have a column shifter.

There's an option to select the phrase "keyless entry" (or any other phrase) after the first search.

The floor gearshift cable for 87-90 MJ/XJ is p/n 53004561. It's ~92" long. Find a genuine Mopar if possible, aftermarket's are C.R.A.P. and prone to early breakage.

Perhaps from the person that stated it was an 86. Just a wild guess...

Saw that - it's a misprint for the motor year. Ran it on a couple of others, same info with the correct motor year. What's important is that it's a factory Laredo.

Are you a parrot?

Defrost is the HVAC default when you have a vacuum leak. Normally this happens where the plastic vacuum line passes through the front bulkhead to the vacuum canister behind the bumper. Check this plastic line from the firewall all the way out for leaks.

According to the VIN you posted in the registry, 1JTML65T7HT020012, your rig is an 87 LWB Laredo. VIN : 1JTML65T7HT020012 Country : United States Manufacturer : Jeep Corporation Vehicle Type : Truck Engine : 1989, 6 Cyl. 4.2 Liter / 4.0L I-6 Cyl.

Thanks all, you guys rock. Hanging tough and plan to keep doing it.

^^ Who was that? Rustys?

Factoids: The factory MJ u-bolts and nuts are as follows: U-BOLT 52002885, 4 Standard Duty *** 52003996, 4 Heavy Duty 11500756, AR NUT The Standard Duty u-bolts are shorter and used for the standard 3+1 leaf springs. Heavy Duty u-bolts are longer and are used for the heavy duty MT 4+1 springs. The u-bolt nuts are the same size for both style u-bolts. Thus there is no difference in the u-bolts except length between the D35 and D44 axles. Also the rear shock nuts and u-bolt nuts are the same.

Hard to answer since you have no signature and we don't know what you are driving. There are plenty of factory designated MJ Laredos w/o power windows. The best way to see what model and trim level you have is to run the VIN. if you post it up I can run it for you from a reliable site..

There is no way I could have even attempted to stop smoking when I was working. Lots of stress working / living in different countries and flying around everywhere dying for a smoke as soon as I could get out of customs and run out of the terminal to fire up. Retired now, enjoying it, and there's really no need to smoke anymore. I want to enjoy it longer. Selfish maybe, but SVPete makes perfect sense stating "do it for yourself" is spot-on. Mama's been bombarding me with all my favorite homemade snacks and treats, and I'm enjoying that too. Also, my MJ is complaining of neglect.

Agree, especially on a LWB.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many fools like me who smoked. Growing up in the 60s people would think there was something wrong with you if you didn't smoke. The Marlboro Man was a national hero and all that. Many thanks gentlemen for the great advice how you personally have dealt with this and for all the kind words. Adam, you asked about weight gain. That's the least of my concerns my friend; I could definitely use a few pounds more. Someone mentioned beer and cigarettes. Very true, it's just like bacon and eggs; can't have one w/o the other. I love my beer, and that's when it's been most difficult to not smoke. I guess I'm lucky that smoking for all these years hasn't screwed me up any worse than it has. I do have a mild form of COPD and have been using an inhaler for awhile now that really helps. Even after a week w/o smoking I can now trot to the end of the driveway and back getting the mail w/o getting too gassed. Ah well, I knew going in this wasn't going to be easy... Again - many thanks guys.

I've always read that the primary reason u-bolts should not be reused is because of the u-bolt threads. They are rolled, not cut. When torqued, the rolled threads are distorted. This thread distortion will not allow the proper torque to be maintained after the nuts have been loosened, removed, then reinstalled and re-torqued.

I've been hesitant to write anything about this but I feel like I'm over the hump now since I passed a week w/o cigarettes this morning. I've been smoking at least two packs daily for over 55 years and last week was the first week I've been cigarette-free in many many decades. I quit cold-turkey w/o pills, shots, patches, or any other crutches. Days four and five were the worst, real biotches physically. It started getting a bit easier after they passed, and I think I got this crap licked permanently now. Our local family doctor, who's actually a family friend too, has been after me for what seems like 100 years to quit. He has sent me to a couple of pulmonary specialists for tests, and luckily they have found no permanent lung damage. I can notice a hell of a difference already in breathing capability. If any of you guys or gals are still smoking, fix it before it's too late. The longer you go on the more difficult it will be to stop. Your lungs, and your family, will thank you.

Thanks Dirty - great pics. Good to see the MJ hung in there too.

Part number provided, plus a link where it says it's available. Why do you ask?

Check this link out. It's the correct part number for your 86 latch, #2 in the below diagram.

Planning out the sequence of events, I'd do it this way to avoid repeat work as much as possible: 1. Finish the rear end lift, then.. 2. Lift the front to match at the same time working in new 4WD changes (tranny, t-case, axle, etc.) and upgraded steering components. Your username - FBM's?
