questions about my new-to-me MJ in Poland
Pete M replied to EagleEar's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
there are important passive reflectors inside the housing that are not print-able so be sure to take that into account. -
that's a rubber baby buggy bumper. but honestly, we had a couple of those vans and I don't remember seeing something like that.

is the bed worth saving? -

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LINK I GAVE YOU. print them out and hand it to him. there's just one extra step in order to get the air out of the emergency line. he can handle it, but only if he knows about it.
-
he must bleed the system via the factory method. regular bleeding will never get the air out of the emergency line.
-
find out what got him to this point. was it just a problem bleeding the system?

my plan is to do nothing until the Jeep and the universe both agree that I'll actually be there. Took my pop to his Dr's appt today and aside from the AC issue, the KJ did well. so far so good. not sure I'd risk hauling the trailer all that way though. might be just me and the Libby this year.

what precisely needs to be fixed? what is the problem that your guy is experiencing? have you found the factory bleeding procedure yet? does your truck still have the rear valve at all? and no, you can't just shove an XJ unit in place of the MJ part without doing other things too. they are not the same device and don't do the same job, even though they may look similar. the XJ prop valve is an actual prop valve and controls the power split between the fronts and rears. the MJ unit simply... sits there. it's sole purpose is to wait for a brake failure and then the little shuttle moves and gives full power to the rear brakes (bypassing the rear height-sensing valve by the rear axle) new MJ parts are not available. but they are rarely the actual problem. find out what your guy is doing.

and the rear arm needs to be in a relatively horizontal position which could mean unhooking it and holding it up with a ziptie if the truck is on a lift. new parts aren't available. and they rarely fail. the vast magoirty of the time it's "operator error". here's an interior shot of the front piece, XJ vs MJ. and this yellow is the correct position for the rear arm. note that the arm is in the wrong position (due to the truck being put on a lift and let down without correction. )
-
the system is complicated and I'm scared about what your guy thinks may be going on since it is sooooo different than normal cars. the thing up front that looks like a prop valve isn't a prop valve. it is just a combination valve (which is not available new). MJs have a rear height-sensing proportioning valve (which is also no longer available new). is he having difficulty bleeding the system? the link in my signature has the factory bleeding procedure in it.

Key Parts is very close to releasing brand new lenses. but that doesn't help you much on the drivers side. -
