Ever cleaned mud out of drums? :D I switched to disks just to never do that again.

You'll need a t-case that matches. Peugeots have a 21 spline output, AX-15s have a 23 spline output. This site should answer at least some of your questions: :thumbsup: http://www.jeeptech.com/convtrans/ax15swap.html

Good luck getting them shipped. :D

Brake cleaner should not have been used. Next time use a throttle body cleaner that is O2 sensor safe.

Yeah, but my disposable income is a LOT less than that. :D

Don't know what changed, but I see them now. :thumbsup: By the time I have any decent amount of disposable income all the good stuff will be gone or will be super high mileage. :(

If it were my truck, I'd look for an early (87-90?) 242 and swap in the corresponding shifter handle to do away with the vacuum stuff altogether. :thumbsup:

photos no worky. :dunno:

You should be able to use the window cleaner trick, yes. If it doesn't turn out right, just lemme know. :thumbsup:

I'm not too familiar with the selec-trac MJs. What switch are you referring too? Is it a switch, or a handle? Got a picture?

I think the early 242s will bolt up. They will have the 21 spline input shaft at least.

Just a photo for anyone reading this that doesn't know where it is. :D

Lookin' good! Did you ever get a hold of the other MJ?

How powerful is the alternator?

:agree: The driveshaft will need to be the proper length, but the SYE isn't needed. Still a good upgrade in strength if you can float it, but it's not necessary. :thumbsup:

Made it to Disney. Feels weird to wear shorts again.

I'm quite certain it's 42" center to center. I'm 7 hours from my nearest MJ though so I can't go check. Make doubly sure you find the true axle centerline. I screwed that up once on my 9". :D Good thing I didn't have a welder at the time or it could have been real ugly. :shake:

I give ya a couple weeks before you start regretting the sale. :D

Not factory stuff. Likely 2 different aftermarket manufacturers. :thumbsup:

Dual batteries are generally overkill with anything less than a winch. But a good quality battery would be nice for sure. :thumbsup: I've been using an optima redtop for years and it's handled everything I've ever thrown at it (like a big honkin' stereo system). :D

Yup. Part of my interest is the build year. The other part being it's in the same town as my parents house. :brows:

i'd start by figuring out where it's leaking. :thumbsup: Or you can throw the book at it with BLHTAZ's list. :D

If more info was discovered during the tear-down, maybe. Depends on how scored the cylinder walls are. But if nothing is wrong, I personally would throw on a new timing chain set and seals and call it good. :thumbsup: Others may have different opinions. Would you be doing the work yourself? Everything I'd be doing would be done with the engine still in the truck.

Maybe. :brows:
