^^ This So what was your caster measurement on each side?

I do that too. But beer, because I hate JD. And I usually feel something coming on most every night. :group beer:

1996 was the transition year from OBD1 to OBD2. As such it had some unique sensors used only on the 1996 models. An example is the 96 MAP sensor (p/n 56028303) that has the OBD1 outputs to the ECU. So, if you use the 96 harness and ECU, be sure to use the matching 1996 sensors from the donor with it to avoid problems.

True, since the shock mounting plates are the same for both the 35 and 44 axles. But there are two reinforcement plates listed for the 89s and below; one for each axle. Also, there's no way the reinforcement plates can be used with the newer shock plates because of the bulge. Of course the parts manual could be wrong yet again for the reinforcement plates. Aggravating...........

Had me puzzled for a long time. It makes me curious whether the one-piece redesigned shock plate w/o the reinforcement plate was simply a cost saving measure or actually an engineering strength improvement. I've never heard of any failures with either design except for busted u-bolts.

Exactly. Unfortunately the 91-92 MJ rear suspension diagrams in the 91-93 parts manual are just reprints of the earlier design. They even show and list the extra reinforcement plates that are not present on the newer MJs. Thanks to everyone for helping me to solve this dilemma. It's always good when you learn something new.

Thanks guys - I can now be 100% positive the parts manual is in error, and that I didn't forget the reinforcement plates when I swapped axles years ago. Not senile - yet. :banana:

Thanks. Did you guys also have reinforcement plates inside the shock plates, like in the pic below? I hoping you didn't...... Image Not Found

Thanks to Gjeep and his 88 and 92 MJs I think we have this figured out, but I would like anyone who has a 90-92 MJ to look up at these plates on your rig to verify because I think the 91-93 factory parts manual is wrong. The part numbers for these plates changed in 1990. The pic below is from the ground looking up at a leaf spring shock mounting plate on my 91. What I want to verify is that all the 90-92 plates had the pressed bulge in the plate across the center pin. The 89 and below plates did not have this bulge; that were flat. This is what I think causes the difference in the part numbers between the 86-89 and 90-92 MJ plates. And I also think because of the bulge redesign in 1990 the plates were strengthened somewhat and did not require the reinforcement plates as used on the 89 and below models. If you guys could fine the time to take a peek under there I'd appreciate it. :cheers: Image Not Found

MJs never had a factory ABS option.

HERE?

Never had the flu or a flu shot. Guess all those years living overseas made me immune. Can't pass a PPD test though.

I don't care anymore.

Yes, that one will work - the Jeep 4.0 fuel rail flared Schrader threads are the same as the GM rails. The Ford Schrader rail threads are smaller. But I preferred the one-piece brass straight adapter as it has one less threaded joint to leak. :thumbsup:

I've never seen a one-piece adapter like that one. But it's is on Ebay HERE for $4.95 shipping.

Why don't you do this so you will be ready all the time? It's cheap too. http://comancheclub.com/topic/12565-permanent-fuel-rail-pressure-gauge/?hl=gauge

I'd clear the codes by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnect, start it up for a minute, shut-off, then check the codes again. Make sure the #13 MAP code is gone. The HO distributors all have some play, so I don't think that's the problem. 10* may be a bit excessive though. But drive it for awhile, maybe you found the problem cause. If not, in order to change the pulse ring (sync sensor) on the 91 distributor you have to pull the distributor, drive out the drive gear roll pin and tear down the distributor to replace it. When mine went out, I replaced the whole distributor with one from a 94-97 4.0. It's better because if the sync sensor goes out again you don't have to pull out the distributor to change it; it's all done from the top. Then rebuilt the 91 dizzy at your leisure for a spare. Also make sure the contacts on the round CPS 3-pin connector hanging from the fuel rail are clean and shiny before replacing the CPS. On the CPS I would not use anything other than a genuine Mopar OEM sensor; been burned a couple of times with the aftermarket junk. 4.0 distributor info: http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9111

^^ Agree. Forgot about the narrower 33" BFG tires with the 10.5" tire width. The recommended wheel width for those is 7" - 9", so the 7" turbine wheels will work fine for them.

Distributor sync sensor and/or CPS. And there's no reliable way you can test either except by replacement. Did you check for codes yet?

Not if you convert to rear disk brakes. :thumbsup:

Keep in mind that the recommended wheel width size for 33" tires is 8.5" - 11". The turbine wheels are only 7" wide. As much as I like the turbine wheels, I'd go with something wider, or have them widened ($$$).

No Facebook ever for moi. But keep the bastids straight mate. :cheers:

Another little asshat loser. Thanks for tracking that down Rob, but I would have rather not seen it. :shake:

Specifically, most sealed beam, halogen or H4 headlamp relay harnesses will work just fine. Or you can fab your own too. Easy peazy.
