Hallo everybody, here is a new one to join the club. A year ago i bought me an 88 MJ, 5speed 2wd.
The trouble with these cars is that you buy them just to have an USA pick-up truck ( i am from the netherlands) and then you fall in love with them. On the moment i am doing a kind of restoration and an update. Take away some rust and a respray. The engine has a nasty rattle and the trans is jumping out of reverse. So i bought a XJ as a donor car and planned to change it to 4wd auto. The mechanical work is no problem as i am a machanic myself.
Since the auto box is an electronic one, i am wandering what to do with the wiring.
Maybe one of you has experience with this conversion. Do i have to change the complete wiring harness or can i just cut off the wiring from the trans ecu and hook all the wires to the 88 harness according to the diagram in the manuals? The donor XJ is from 1990.
