Duner

I know this thread is a bit old but I thought that I would revive it since my MJ is now suffering the same fate. This is the bearing in the ac support bracket, if you have a 4.0L your fan and fan clutch are bolted to the front of it. The pulley functions as an idler and support for the fan clutch. The part is available from the local jeep dealer for about $276.00. I pulled the bracket off the motor and my dad removed the bearing from the bracket. He said it looked like a water pump bearing. Anyway he has tracked it down and when it arrives we will confirm the fit and function test; if successful I will post the part numbers and pictures. This work does however require a press and some other tools that the basic mechanic may not have but the part is less than $30.00

Your guess about air in the lines is probably correct, based on what you described, as for the shudder this is a sign that the tranny is wearing. Check the fluid levels and add a sysnthetic such as lucas or royal purple they may help the tranny survive a little longer.

Ok i have gone to the junk yard and pulled 98 doors the entire wiring harness from the same car i have laid it all. I have gotten power to the driver switch to just roll up the windows on both sdes but i can not make the power mirror or the locks to work. With this pull i also grabed the over head console that the relay for the lock is in i pluged everything up with the right side kick panel but i don't know how to power the kick panel where all the relays are. i keep hearing the tan wires but i have 3 and powered all of them and still no mirrors no locks. Any help would be greatly appericated and i am under a little time crunch seeing as i want to leave back to college station on saturday afternoon. I would have started this sooner but i have been helping my dad fix my sister camero after a bad curb hit. I have also read the JP mag on this articul and it was not much. If not i would be willing to make a whole new harness but i need some help on the relay lay out and the switches.

I have pulled 2 96 doors and the wiring harness to go with them so i can have power Windows ect from the junk year. In other threads i see people have done this but i just want to find out how they got power to the harness. I have the realy box that is in the right kick panel. The problem i have is the big block that conects to the new xj but i need to know how to power them any help would be great. Thanks

I will probably pop for the rough country set up. Pete I'm sorry that Mich. won't let you guys experiment on your own rigs fortunately many of the other states will or we would not have any of the parts that we have today or at least not be able to use them on the road.

Has anybody out there fabbed their own front control arm drops? Rubicon and now Rough country offer these drops but $190 to $250 is a lot of money for a few pieces of powder coated steel.

Proper gear ratios will make you think you have a v8. Your Comanche will go just about anywhere you want to with lockers. By all means collect every hard to find part off any MJ, I used to just look for taillights - now I look at the entire rear bed. I wished I had not passed on a couple of the those $500 comanches just because they had the 2.5 The cherokee fuel pump and sending unit is not the same as the comanche and will require fabrication to make it work properly no matter what the parts store clerk tells you.

Thanks that was alot of help

I pulled 2 97 jeep xj doors that are all electric for my 90 jeep comanche. I am really tired of pulling up to a drive throught and am fighting againt the vent window to get the food. Also i would love to be able to roll down my pasanger side window with out having to reach across my truck and turn the crank. I am looking for a wire diagram so i can build my own wiring harnes. Most people so far have told me to pull a complete one out of another xj but being a Electrical Major at Texas A&M i am redoing alot of the wiring my self. I have the chiltons book but the way they lay the wiring out is confusing. I do know there was a articul in the JAN2009 JP mag but i did leave this at college station. I also found the other post with a few wiring diagrams but when i tried to print or view them on my computer i could not read the color of the wires. Can anyone help me?? :hmm: :thumbsup:

My 90 MJ has been doing this periodically over the last few months but I'm fairly sure that it's the TPS, I have changed the IAC, and tested the EGR circuit. Does your truck do it all of the time? Some days mine will run fine then the next day it will stall almost everytime the clutch is pushed in when stopping. But I am also starting to get high idle issues sometimes I come to a stop and the idle will be 1200 to 1800 rpm. This is why I'm going to replace the TPS next.

Ditto Eagle, No input from the driver can correct the death wobble, you just grip the wheel, apply the brakes, view you life flashing by as you say a few hail Mary's and when it's over you may have to change your pants. There is probably never one single isolated failure that creates death wobble but a series of worn or failing parts combined with altered front end geometry and larger heavier tires that all contribute to the experience. I was suprised that the poll showed tire balance to be such a large issue, I agree that tires and wheel offset are a great part of the equation. In conclusion to all of this: 4x4's require 2.5 times the maintenance of 2wd vehicles. Now take your maintenance factor and multiply by the amount of lift that you have (2.5x6" lift =15) or basically I check my truck once a month or before any long trips. When it was a 2wd stocker I woukd check it once or twice a year.

Now that i talked to my dad we did change it we work on so many cars round the house that sometime i can"t remember what exactly i did

they seem to be fine i looked it over and nothing seems to be cut or burned ffrayed or anything

The clutch is fine changed about a year ago, the cps was changed within the last year. the fuel filter has not been changed but it did get a new fuel pump in may

It started about a week ago with the truck getting slugish. Not wanting to accerlate. With back fires here and there. But once it starts going it is fine. It is mainly first gear wanting to stall when i am comming off the clutch and then accerlating fine. We replaced the oxgen sencor about 5-6 thousand miles ago. Along with the plugs. So any help will be great thanks It is a 90 4.0 with an ax15 4x4
