Maybe the vent valves on top the tank then? My smell went away sometime after I changed those.

Oh yeah. It’s very common. We probably stock about 10 of each side for the smaller one. The bigger one we stock about 5 and those usually get sold to a service RO. When I worked in shipping people were always buying those things from our website. They just fly off when they are driving. Chrysler should’ve learned from AMC and did the same thing as to how our vent covers are clipped on.

If only I could show you how often we sell these damn appliqués

I will have to! I don't have a picture of them at the moment but what I can describe them as is loops with holes for mounting. They don't look like what the catalogue shows.

I have a set of those as NOS!! They will not mount in conjunction with the hooks. They could but they might collide with the hook and be rendered useless. They also supersede to 52059191AA

Looks like a good score!

Lol! I even tried the first latch on the nozzle to slow down the flow rate and it still did it. Guess I could just stand there and hold it until it fills up. But I just can't imagine this being a huge issue back then.

Well that's one possibility I will check for this weekend. Ill probably remove the filler assembly anyways to clean it up. Any other possibilities?

That is correct. I have heard they can kink but I have removed the tank only once(during the get her running phase) and it has always done such. Maybe I did kink the vent line?

Welcome. Honestly, it will be how ever special you make it. Build sheets for our trucks are 90% accurate. Notice how there's some missing? 10% of the codes or wrong or are missing from the AMC years.

Alright like the title says I have been battling this problem since I got LR. I have replaced the vents on top, the sending unit O-ring and an emissions hose. I have no idea what else to loom at or replace. I have even blown out the lines that go to the vents on top of the tank and the gas still over flows. Any suggestions? I vaguely recall someone blaming GM on this issue but don't remember.

Nice score! Engine bay needs some attention. Have you posted her up in the VIN registry yet?

Take the fuse block apart and replace the clips. Or do what I did until I have a second car and put aluminum foil on one of the fuse prongs and set it in the spot and see if it makes better contact.

Yes. The XJ and MJ share the same bushings. Don't know why AMC has two different numbers unless they had it like that for truck suspension reasons. Don't know the MOOG numbers.

I know on the manual trans that's where the lights run into and I have popped that fuse several times before finding a bare wire touching the exhaust pipe.

Yes the age of damper and the rubber separating would be the cause. I believe the stout on the damper is longer which requires the slinger to go away.

I know this: So if you go OEM this will be your issue. Try to go with the original part number 33002920 in the aftermarket if you don't want to replace the slinger. I've done mine on my 2.5L a couple times. You will need a balancer remover and installer. They say to remove the radiator for more clearance on the puller and installer which is probably more true for the 4.0L than the 2.5L. Basically you will need as much clearance as possible to remove and install a new one.

Does your fuse box have a 7.5amp fuse under the label of trans?

Well I checked Chrysler for an overhaul and rebuild kit and all they show for the AW4 is service component parts. So there are no kits on Chryslers end. Thought I would check for ya.

Woohooo! I saw that. Totally didn't think about tilt column owners. That's probably where it is hard to snake that wire down.

Ah. Hmm, I actually have no idea then. I know the button just needs ground out to the center of the column to sound the horns. There is already power going to them, just pushing the button completes the horn relay circuit to switch power to the horns.

Lol no worries. There’s been a couple people wanting to add cruise and your write up is really good and helpful. And it sat for a year and half so I thought I’d help you out with it and bring it back up to the top. Also I wasn’t sure if you had finished your install or not.

I want to finish this and it deserves to be finished. Installing the stalk is really easy. Remove your old stalk by simply pulling it out. Then take the cruise stalk and feed the wire down the column. I didn't have any issues doing such nor did it get caught up anywhere but you could tie a string to it and feed the string down the column to help pull the wire through. Then push the stalk into the turn signal switch and your stalk is installed. Installing the servo: There are two different servos. 84-87? This servo is grounded out at the bracket which is really smart and doesn't require an extra wire to be sourced in the engine harness. 87-90. This servo has an external ground wire that is located with the servo and its partner is on the main engine harness(pictured above). Take the servo and it should have a mounting stud that you feed into the bracket and thread a nut on to hold it in place. Servo should only go on one way due to the stud and screw that holds the base of the servo on. 84-early 87 servo owners should note that if you grabbed the thicker bracket that mounts on the passenger side fender/wheel well that mounting this one on the firewall will be a challenge as you will have to trim the bracket up so that way the servo won't prevent you from closing the hood. 2.5L owners should be able to mount this bracket with no trimming of the bracket on the fender wall like I did. 4.0L owners have their coolant bottle in the way at that location so you guys might have to get creative or make your own bracket. Important note! If you snag a set up from a 2.8L(generally where the thicker bracket comes from) you might be SOL. I got really really lucky that a dealer had a NOS 2.5L throttle cable and didn't have to figure out how to use the cable that comes with the 2.8L set up so it is imperative to find the 4.0L set ups unless you know where to source a long enough cable with the right hook/clip on it for the throttle linkage. Clutch/brake disconnect/vacuum dump valve. Now there are two styles of the harness when pulling from a junk yard. There is a auto and a manual version. The one Blaine has in this post is a manual version with the dump valve/switch combo. Autos have a clutch switch block plug that bypasses having said switch which is fine, one less thing to get into place when installing. I have an auto set up on mine meaning the clutch switch is bypassed with the plug and only the vacuum dump valve is mounted on the brake pedal like such: This eliminates trying to find or make a bracket for the clutch switch to go on top of the clutch pedal as the valve will open and release all vacuum in the system and the brake switch will shut off the current cruise operation until you push the resume button. So regardless of your trucks trans set up, you can use either auto or manual cruise harness on a manual drive truck. Once the servo, stalk and dump valve are installed, get everything plugged in and ready to go cruise and make some adjustments to the actuator. I will go find the picture I took from the adjustment procedure from the FSM The document included should help with diagnosing issues 1988 Cherokee FSM-cruise control system.pdf

Someday the stars will align for ya. Thank you for that, it’s an obsession. Like reading Wikipedia on one topic and next thing you know you’re reading about quantum theory. Anyways here’s the link, I think I’ll go finish it today for any future members who look to add cruise control.
