Yes it is. I have an NOS 86 unit in my 88. It fit just fine. If I can find pictures of it I’ll post it but I don’t remember too much since that was years ago.

Amazon carry’s this.

Yeah thats an XJ one. I went through the same issue as I was running an 86 sending unit on my XJ. Theres a Bosch pump that will fit the early sending unit. I need to find the box that mine came in.

Pic of your original unit? I’ve got quite a few work arounds and info. 23 and 18 gallon share the same sending unit. REGARDLESS! Of the engine. 16 is unique. Pumps are pretty much the same between all. Now 86 is the odd ball year and has a completely different sending unit and partially because it was easy to have one model. It wasn’t until the 4.0 where AMC made one sending unit across the board for the MJ.

Thats cruise control. Not necessary to get the Jeep running.

Looking for one with the harness ends. It’s on the pass side behind the kick panel supposedly.

It’s one of those rare two for ones.

I may have a spare chrome one. I swear I’ve seen crown reproduce that corner in chrome and as much as I hate crown, it is an option.

Lol. At least paint the one in the handle cup.

Gotta paint them black

I was on vacation but also was actively on here during it hahaha. I’m here almost all the damn time. But yeah it’s been quiet hasn’t it.

The whole damn thing changed. 3 version of the 2.5L exist. Carb fuel feedback 84-85 Renix TBI 86-90 MPFI HO 91-01

2.5L Renix has an ISA. It’s different from the 4.0 and later HO set up with the IAC. I love when everyone assumes the 2.5L shares the same set up for 4.0 Renix when they were never the same to begin with. Also grinds my gears too.

Love it!

When did you get those vintage looking rims? And what’s on the covers?

@89 MJ Almost looks like yours but in stock form.

I learned a lot with this swap on my 88. When I was looking at the digital catalog I saw that the bell house was pretty much the same on 86. So it got me thinking. I hunted down all the parts, pressed in the pivot ball on my bell house and put it all together with pleasing results. Oh you also need the transmission bearing retainer plate from an 84-86 as well. It might work without it but I didn’t want to tempt it. On my 84 I had to swap the bell for the fuel injection. There were no more pressed in pivots left and I wasn’t about to hunt that down. 84-85 bells use a detent where a ball bearing sits as the pivot. But I was able to take a later Chrysler screw in style pivot and put it into the bell where the pivot gets pressed in and I honestly haven’t had an issue at all either. But I’m all ears for any questions on the 84-86 external.

That article I feel is stroking an ego that doesn’t exist. We know the MJ wasn’t best selling period. It’s best years we’re 88 and 89. Rest of the article is praising the 4.0L while not being a Cherokee article. That’s just me.

Paint codes have been reused over the years. Double check your firewall tag for the same color code.

Ehhhh. Which engine do you have? Whats the condition of the balancer?

I wonder if I have a couple of gaskets laying around. I’ll have to check Sunday. Or Monday.

Huh. How odd. I ordered one many years ago before finding an OEM bumper and mine was quality.

With the belt off does all the pulleys line up?
