I have not done c101 yet. I have done some new ground but not all yet. I was going to wait until I replaced the engine, tranny and added a transfercase and do all of while the engine is out. I think maybe I will have to do it sooner then later now. lol I have changed the ecu from an 88 model year to a 89 model year.

88 MJ with a 4.0 in it. runs really good with 286K on it. BUT after you drive it for a while and turn it off, It won't restart. Give it 5 to 30 minutes then it will restart and runs fine. Won't do it every time, drive it for 5 miles or 20 miles don't matter. 3 out 0f 4 times it will restart then it won't. This would not be a problem if I was bar hoping but i got other things to do.LOL What are your suggestions or comments. right now I have ran out of ideas other then pulling the fuel tank and put in a new fuel pump and change the filter. Thanks

Go to the local pick and pull, get one from a cherokee and save you some money. but the guy above me is right if you are doing some real wheeling (rocks) then beef up the frame.

So what jeep did you get the seats from?

I think that is what I meant. maybe did not say it that way.

I was going to do this when I swapped engines and transmision and install a transfer case for the first time. I am taking out a 4.0 2wd ax15 and install a 4.0 4wd ax15/transfer case. Also I am changing the front fenders, doors, and grill from a 98 cherokee. I figured I would also replace the headlight wiring also. and install a tilt steering wheel with cruise control. Not going to do much stuff to the ole girl in the next few months HA FK HA

I have been lucky enough to acquire the wiring harness from an 89MJ that has a 4.0 engine. It does not have the c101 connection. I was wondering if I could plug that into the firewall box in an 88MJ that has a 4.0 engine. If it would be compatible then that would eliminate the c101 connection above the box. And I would not have to cut and splice all those wires. Has anyone done this or thought of doing it before? Do you think it is feasible?

I got all the wiring taken out, lots of pieces for the cruise control (?). I am hoping that I can make it work again.

Just find a set that you want from a cherokee and it is a plug and play.

ok, wiper circuit breaker makes sense because the wipers do not work and it was rust in place. I need to do some cleaning of the fuse box. there is a bit (LFOL) of corrosion in it. Just I really don't need the emissions timer and it does have cruise control but I do not know if it works. I first have to make it able to go down the road.

Is there a place that I can get preformed sheet metal

I am working on a 8 mj. what is these parts for under the dash on drivers side?

With the new year came a new to me MJ, $600. 89 Pioneer, 4.0 5sp 2wd, cruise control till wheel. Actual gages in the dash work. Engine runs fairly well seeing how it has sat for 6 years in a briar patch and has not be registered for 12 years. That is the good News. Now for the bad, clutch master cylinder froze up, rust in drivers floor board because the drivers window is broke, all the brakes are shot, tires are Bad. the door latch on the body is ripped off. Turnsignal lever is trashed, No parking lights but the headlights work. She is mostly straight but the paint sucks. How do you fix the rusty floorboads? the frame is intack. I will post pictures. So what do you think? suggestions on repairs to the floor would be helpfull

thanks for the response. i will check those spots out. getting ready to take all the interior out to see if i can find any other souces and let things dry out. i want to paint the floor out to stop all the surface rust.

My 88 has a water leak. It sits out in the rain and the floor boards are wet. How do I find the leak and what have you all done to fix this problem other then park it the shop/carport. I am in the process of shifting the doors to 98 cherokee doors so now is the time to make the cabin water tight. I will be stripping most of the interior out with exception of the dash. then I will repaint the interior and put down some sound proofing as well as do some mods that cruiser 54 suggests. Thanks
