haha thats a really good idea pete. well it doesnt look like it will be that hard of a swap. thanks again

ok thanks guys. i forgot to put that i was lookin for a exploder 8.8. you can get them for 125 bucks at the loco u yank it. I'm gonna try and find one with 4.10s and a locker. what about the spring pads. are they the same width or will i have to cut them and move them? also this is goin to be a street truck. thanks again

is the 8.8 the same lug pattern as my d30? and will the u-joints be the same to? thanks for any help :cheers:

man I'm putin a 327 and saginaw 4 speed in my mj."in the future" novak has every thing you would need to do it to!! just there prices are really high!!.they want 5oo big ones for there raditor. but i think thats the bigest thing i would have to buy.but who knows maybe my old 2.5 rad would work lol ive owned a couple xjs and had my fun muddin and wheeln. I'm ready to play at the track now. but i should be able to hurt some feelins in a swb manche with a sbc and 4 speed. I'm just wonderin if i would have axle/oil pan issues. and would my i need to get 4.0 springs to make it sit factory hight. i don't want to rais the truck any. and maybe one day 4link the rear. :thumbsup: but u have a good lookin truck man. keep up the pics

it could be your map sens. swap one out with a friend and see :dunno:

ok wow that seams like a lot of stuff to do with the harness. and I'm not good with that lol. but thanks man :cheers:

i have the chance to buy a 93 4.0 with harness and all the goodies to do the 4.0 swap in my manche. only thing is its comin out a xj with a auto trans. my manche is a 5 speed and i wanna keep it that way i understand i will have to find a ax15. but will the ecu out of a auto work with a ax15 trans? :help:

with the motor off. get a friend to rock the truck back and forth while pushin it in first. some times the gears arnt lined up. if it still won't go in first then i would wonder about the state of the tranny. could still be a clutch issue tho.

oh anouther thing is the stalk has cruise controll but the truck don't. does that sound right? His very first post said he has the delay on the MFS. If that's true, it might have been bypassed by someone already. No, I think all that means is he has a wiper stalk w. delay plugged into the MFS. One thought for you........ If you push the stalk in, and turn it clockwise, it will pop right out of the MFS. So........anyone could have installed a delay wiper/cruse stalk in your truck, and then you would think.........'Gee......I got all these goodies' :teehee: :teehee: So think about it, if you don't have the sterno motor under the hood for the curse, you don't have it.......if you don't have the DW control box under the dash.....you don't have it, and the seller of your truck pulled a fast one on you........maybe :dunno: Just because something is there, and it looks like the real thing........It might not be :hmm: So, pop the stalk out, and if the wire for the curse is not hooked up, AssUme that the delay wiper extra wire is also not there :eek: ill check this out and see.. thanks

oh anouther thing is the stalk has cruise controll but the truck don't. does that sound right?

hmm so the harness has a extra wire if its ready? ill have to pull the harness and see .should be 8 if is just plug and play the the box then right?

anouther test

testin testin

that does look good. u just gave me a idea lol off to wall world!!!!!

yup no black box on the colum. and i might add I'm not as flexable as i once was!! :eek:

ok thanks guys ill run out in a min and see if i have the lull black box or not.

my 89 mj has a turn signal stalk with a wiper delay but it doesnt work just low and high speed wipers. did they come with wiper delay or what? idk if the po had put it in there or what. and were is the timer for the delay?

:popcorn:

have you cheked the timen? could be spark knock if its only under loads.

how close are the fans to your rad? if there to close the fans won't have much bite/pinch to pull the air through the rad. you might want to try to put a 1/8 in space between the two.also the best rad ive seen for tight fits like s10 v8 swaps is a corvette one core rad. and if water moves to fast through it there won't be much time for the water to cool. i can't recall the name of it but theres a additive you can add to the coolent to drop the boilin point and lower temps. are you runnin a hearter core. they help out to. oil cooler would add a little help also. is the truck a dd also? you could always put the rad in the bed. it would give planty of time to cool and would add with not bein under the hood with engin temps. hope this helps you any :cheers:

yea i have heard it was a odd size. one guy up here grinded a bolt down to fit it

will do. thanks man. :cheers:

my 89 mjs batt gauge stays close to 14 volts while its runnin. lights on ect. but when i turn on the a/c it drops pretty low. close to 9 volts. thats a big drop for just a a/c clutch to kick in. i can turn just the hearter on and it stays the same. any ideas? :dunno:

have you checked the trans to see if it has fluid. i would also check the diffs to while your at it
