Ok so that T is correct. Should be main vacuum supply to the EGR, Vac reservoir and 4wd if equipped. The from the reservoir would go to your HVAC and cruise control if cruise is equipped. Fun fact, with cruise control, the football shaped reservoir can only be installed 1 way.

Have you not posted your VIN in here to get more accurate info? Let me go look at my 88 and get back with ya. Rough idle could be anything. Grounds, sensors, dirty connections, bad O2, bad headgasket. Well wiring is pretty easy to fix.

I do my best!! This image has always bugged the hell out of me and its really aggravating cause it doesnt match. Period. Might on the YJ but I have my doubts since the YJ used the 86 set up until 90. If you flip the valve cover orifices to line up with the front, youll have the MJ and XJ set up. The 87 one is the way you want. But!! What year was your MJ built? 86 or 87? If its late 86, I can see them just using what was left at the factory and calling it good. If its 87 then maybe the PO found the wrong diagram and did it wrong.

I never saw the other response after my comment. But I am glad you got it sorted out! As for the vac diagram, its very...well unapologetic to say the least. Its kinda wacky and can be tough to interpret at first. But its also straight forward once you follow where all the lines go, given a PO hadnt messed it up before your ownership.

Yes it should. Either the grey or black connector. There are two that look the same except in color. You probably will find your broken wire in a connector there….I hope.

So the fuel sending unit wire for the pump got hooked and ripped? If that’s what I’m reading, is that wire tan? If it is, it should be under the door sill panel and it should go to one of the 10 slot connectors by the e-brake.

The firewall tag should tell you the acceptable gap. But typically .035 for both engines.

I love the use of a ford exhaust coupler in the build. Truly in AMC fashion.

Could always put a washer or two in to get the castle nut where it needs to be. I have noticed this issue on new joint parts these days.

ooo fun! I’ve been about 3 times and each time is more fun. My wife wants to buy the engineer package for me where you get to ride up with the engineers. Pretty cool. GCRR is pretty fun. They have a steamer and restored coaches in their line up.

Both that and the Grand Canyon RR are both fun adventures.

Damn. That’s extreme. The sentry requires 2. One on the left and one on the right. Can’t be placed in the drums. Now I know there’s a set of dodge and Chrysler cars from 84-90 that use the same sensor just with a different plug which is no big deal and is an easy swap.

No problem!

@Dzimm on here makes some. I tested his set for out here in the intense heat and they did pretty good actually. Still holding up actually. Little loose but I blame the heat mostly on that.

You ever wondered what the holes are for on the inside brake pads? Thats where the sensors goes and clips into for the system sentry.

Ok so the raybestos number EWS6 is the newest and produced version. It fits the following Chrysler: New Yorker, Daytona, dynasty 84-90 Dodge: Lancer, dynasty, Daytona 84-90

This one is for the HO years with the unobtainable thermistor.

I’m asking myself the same question and I’m not gonna complain haha. But you’re right. Not like anyone is restoring that car. Let alone daily driving it. I kinda did though and I’ll take whatever I can scoop up and hopefully have some sensors to last a lifetime. I’ll do a video on where they go soon. I think we all could have a idiot light on our info centers in our MJs let us know when it’s time to change the pads.

That pinch release can be super sticky after years of not opening.

The one on the rear axle, that’s just a shield protecting it.

I’m glad you asked! I went on eBay, searched dodge brake pad sensor, found a NOS one. Then an aftermarket and then it led me down a rabbit hole that they went on an 88-90 dodge dynasty.

Guys!!! I have excellent news!! I have finally found where the brake pad wear sensors go and that there’s new ones available.

You’ll be the only MJ that has it. It’s very doable.

Ahhh. Yeah I know what you’re talking about now.

$400?! Hot damn.
