It is one piece. I did not install it myself, mechanic did. I do not know if the new cable was greased or not but will find out. What grease do recommend. Are you lubing only the tranny end of the cable? I understand grease on the speedo end will get in the speedometer and create a mess. Your thoughts?

Eagle, what would you guess the condition of a 30 year old timimg chain is? Links still flexible? Metal pitted and rough?

Do you recall what the TSBs offered as fixes? Will check for tight bends

jdog, what do you recommend oiling it with?

Replaced the speedo cable on an 89MJ, 4.0 and the needle still jumps. Hopefully the speedometer does not need replacing. If so, are they available from a junker only and not new? Any other ideas?

Thanks for the tips. The 89MJ has a bad door speaker. Another speaker hooked to the wires worked. I will get a pair of middle of the road speakers to replace the front set. The sound from the other speakers is surprisingly good. An original, but broken, Jeep radio was replaced with one from our own Jeremy Radio also know as Minuit which means midnight in French. The 87MJ never had door speakers but a prior owner installed some high end box speakers behind the seat that are about about 12 inches square. I intend to leave those but will add door speakers. Prior owner installed a newer non-Jeep radio that is not working correctly which I will junk and install a Jeep radio from Captain Midnight Grizz, DZ and SVP, did you find an adapter that fits the wiring harness and the speakers without having to cut wires?

A radio speaker in the driver side door of my 89 MJ, 4.0 is not working and needs replacing. I assume that those should be replaced in pairs; driver's and passenger side. Hopefully, replacements exits that fit the slot and connect to a wiring harness that will not have to be cut and spliced. Anyone have recommendations for new speakers or ones to avoid? I will also need door speakers for an 87 MJ, 4.0 that never had door speakers. Hopefully, the same ones will work?

Are the mirrors available new that fit the existing holes?

Did anyone come up with a solvent that freed the movement? I have the same issue with the same mirrors. Are new ones, with brackets, available?

Thanks AZ, will look for those

Buy it at $7K before someone else grabs it! You would spend waaaaay more than that to get it in that condition. Give it a knuckle knock above the rear wheel well to make sure rusted metal has not been covered with bondo. Change the the indicator lights to gauges so you will know what might be going on with the engine and protect it. Otherwise, you found yourself quite a truck

Do you have a pic of where that goes? Any suggestions for replacing blower motor and fan?

Anyone have a part number for the door check? 89MJ, 4.0, 5 speed

No. Door stuck when closing. Snaps or pops to free it. Typical old car thing

Who has a magic bullet for door hinges making a #$!&^@ noise when closing. Lubing last 10 days. New hinges?

What's the round thing on the front fender near the top corner of the fender flare? To turn alarm system on or off maybe?

Electricity: electrons and protons flow negative to positive and produce current that flows positive to negative. When trying to determine a relationship in an equation, change only one variable at a time. The relationship between resistance (the opposite of conductivity) and voltage is inverse, i.e, when resistance goes up voltage goes down.. The resistance relationship to current (amps) is also inverse. George Ohm, that you have named yourself after, came up with equations to measure the relationships; an Ohm being a measure of resistance. As resistance increases it produces heat. That can be good or bad. Intended resistance heats your oven or stove top burners or it creates resistance in the heat strips in the back up heat source in a heat pump. Unintended resistance can start electrical files or melt the electrical connectors on your MJ. Over simplification but hope that helps

I don't understand the question. If resistance increases for any reason (corrosion, broken wire) there is an inverse relationship with voltage and current. Can you rephrase your question? At absolute cold (like a mathematical limit, it can not be achieved but can be approached) is 0 degrees Kelvin or -459.67 Fahrenheit. Resistance is still present even slightly above that. Albeit pretty low.

You proved that the indicator light is connected to the load side of the switch. Origanally you had the line connected to the load side of the switch which energized the indicator light all the time.

Switch the line and load leads. The light should get power only when the switch is on, of course.

87 MJ, 4.0, 5 speed. Going to swap the instrument panel that has indicator lights for one that has gauges. Can someone that has purchased the right sensors in the last year, recommend ones to get? Ones to avoid? 89 MJ, 4.0 5 speed. Going to replace blower motor and fan. Can someone that purchased those in the last year, recommend ones to get? Ones to avoid? A year ago, the fan on the 87 was replaced and it does not have the high speed that the 89 has. Any ideas about that?

Awesome pic. May you have many happy years together.

Going once, going twice, post some pics!

You probably should not drive that one on the honeymoon

We saw you holding babies like a champ at the home of the Alabama wildman. On a return rtrip through Iowa, you might get another chance to hold Comanche babies.
