Question...should the electric fan come on when i turn the a/c switch on even though there is no freon in the system and the compressor doesnt come on and also is there a way to check if the a/c compressor is in good working order without freon as well?... I would hate to have to put the r12 in there and then find out ac compressor is bad trying to avoid having to by more r12 that stuff is expensive...

Thanks much appreciated..

thanks i'll search for it..

check all compression on cylinders should be between 120-150 psi..

Hi i wanna swap doors from a 2000 XJ to my 89 MJ... the xj doors come with manual window winder power mirrors and I'm guessing power locks as well is it possible to get any of the powered stuff working on my 89 MJ?

Thanks 88whitemanche Its auto trans..i have no doubt i would be able to get my money back but think i might just stash parts...lol

Look what the cat dragged in :brows: picked up this lady driven 2000 xj with only 58k on the clock before she was hit from the back missing some dash components tach steering wheel driver seat already sold and a few engine components but besides that engine, transmission, entire drive train in tact entire front to rear doors body looks in mint condition plus a chrysler 8.25 29 spline in the back and the best part about it is i only paid $275 for everything :rotf: $200 for the jeep and $75 for the wrecking service..atleast my manche will have a new friend..I think i made a good deal today... what do you think ??

Thanks eagle

Can somebody tell me which vehicles would carry a d44 3.55 gears so I can know what to look for...

Made use of that 97+ thermostat housing and added an Auto Meter water temperature sending unit...

Thank A-man930...appreciate it..

Thanks Bro...Eagerly waiting its rebirth myself :D

Came around to installing a Hayden trans oil cooler.. wasnt plug and play had to do slight modification cause i'm guessing the fittings it came with fit a 97+ cherokee where the feed line is on the bottom of the radiator and the return line going to the back of the tranny is at the top..Whereas with my 89 the lines are reversed the feed line goes to the top of the rad and the return line is at the bottom..

Ah man he must have ordered the Cherokee version :rotf: Actually ordered using the mopar part number from a comanche parts catalog but the part is the same as cherokee also fits wagoneer

Had bought some white gauge faces sometime ago from whitegauges.net so had some free time and since the cluster was out already decided to install them along with some leds...stole some of my wife's nail polish and also painted the needles red more visible with the white face instead of everything being white.. dummy guages don't look too bad now..also noticed the new gauge faces didnt come with the cut out for shifter display on the large fuel gauge side so after i stuck the face on took a razor blade and cut it out.. BEFORE.. After... Night View...

Yup apparently the windshield adhesive failed over time and water was coming in through the bottom around the cowl area the previous owner didnt care much about the truck so he just through some fiberglass over it to try to seal it but that obviously didnt work looked like the rust was about to take out the whole firewall.. anyway thanks for checking out my build its no wonder its been said time and time again that u guys are the nicest bunch of guys out there..no doubt..really appreciate the support means alot...Thanks jeep690

Gave her a face today...97+ front with brand new fenders..hood was a PITA to get it to line up took almost half my day ended up breaking one of the hood bolts in the process but i got it eventually...starting to have some character :rock on:

Yep that cancer was really bad thankfully that was the worst it...everything else is minor.. Thanks for the shout out Buck...

thanks guys..i appreciate it

How she's sitting currently...

New cowl in and welded in place.. not factory but not bad for an amateur...i like :thumbsup:

After drilling out the spot welds got the old cowl out and had to do some repairs on the windshield frame before i could start putting in the new cowl panel...

So after i was done with the engine decided to tackle the heavily rusted cowl panel under the windshield was way beyond a repairable state imo so ordered a new panel form tucson mopar parts.. started by pulling the dash...as you can see the cancer had spread everywhere.. :ack:

Thanks for the tip gogmorgo next time i'll remeber that..

After putting in fluids hooked up the battery and decided to try to fire her up and to my surprise she started right up...i can't tell you how ecstatic i was to hear this thing started WooooooHooooo !!! :clapping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45qO-imqMk
