I am only wanting to create this post for future visitors or restorations. If anyone has used the SEM interior paint to refresh/restore/make new, should post the color that comes close or is exact match to all years of the MJ interior factory colors.(I'll edit the post as more info comes along) I just found out that SEM's medium grey is dead on for the lighter charcoal grey colors. I will be testing which colors will best restore the dark charcoal dash panels and center console. 84-85 XJ colors only Almond-SEM light buckskin(Also has a similar issue like the charcoal colors. It does have a two tone being the dash and console are darker than the rest of the interior.) Honey-SEM Camel Nutmeg- Slate Blue- Medium Blue-Dupli-color medium blue HVP112 Garnet-SEM Firethorn red(huge discrepancy over the Garnet, it appears early on it was more red and later it got more cordovan. working this one out to find an according match). Colors offered(According to what the catalogue shows me. If I'm missing one please tell me.): 1986: Black, Medium Blue, Cordovan, Garnet, Honey and Tan. 1987: Black, Medium Blue, Cordovan and Tan. 1988: Charcoal, Cordovan, Navy and Tan. 1989: Same as '88 except Tan is now Sand. 1990: Charcoal, Cordovan and Sand. 1991-92: Charcoal, Cordovan and Dark Sand SEM: Black - Landau black Medium Blue - Matte Nantucket blue rustoleum . I am sure there is a suitable SEM. See 84-85 for possible match. Garnet - SEM Firethorn red(plausible issue with said color matching garnet. Results vary) Honey - SEM Camel Tan - SEM Palomino or Santa Fe depending on the odd discrepancy for the years. Charcoal(2 colors light and dark) - Medium Grey(SEM) and Dark Grey(rustollium) or Very Dark Pewter(SEM) Cordovan - Burgundy Navy - SEM 15043 Shadow Blue Sand - SEM Santa Fe Dark Sand - 97-01 Agate-SEM 15303 Graphite Headlight bezels with darker silver trim-PDM 4889922AB Mopar Touch up paint.

How’s the CPS? That is prone to heat soaking.

Well...from the factory you don’t. You would go to your dealer and get the parts that has new studs in place. Did that. Worth it than just to replace the studs. That being said Chrysler has stopped making the front brackets and are at vintage parts. The rears are impossible to find new. Your best bet will probably be to drill them out and get studs or bolts.

Yup!

I know this isn’t Comanche literature but it’s does involve the XJ when it was still called sportwagon. So in the spirit of having AC I present this piece of R12 support: Snagged this piece off of eBay.

Heh. Just got off that boat. Miniut gave me a good tip, said to crank the compressor over about ten times before charge. That dryer location makes me appreciate the location for the 2.5's a little more. Good luck!!

R134a.

I had a slight issue like this. I thought my rear main was going but that is still doing well. The slave cylinder was busted on mine. It looked like oil was coming from the bell house area but it wasn’t. The slave cylinder had enough of a tear that I needed to replace it as I was filling it up more and more frequently until the slave cylinder failed entirely. This could very well be your case but it could need a clutch overhaul anyways.

Yup. Factory condenser. Despite the battle and a half I went through, the burden has been lifted from my shoulders and it has all been very worth it. My father is calling this as an omen as he fixed my moms AC and predicts hell will freeze over here. Lets see!

IR gun. Pointed at the very back of the vent. Probably blowing out somewhere close to 50*

36.4 degrees out of the middle vent! Damn that's cold.

Thanks guys, Now to attend to other matters on the list Minuit. The temps are cold. I need to grab my dads temp gun and see what is coming out. But I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise home. Someone on here was right about the 2.5L not wanting to go fast now with AC. And that is true. When I met up with pirate I managed to snag a heavy duty cooling fan for the 2.8L. so if temps go up, that fan is going on.

Literally!

AC!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been running this MoPar number since I’ve been working at the dealer:68304020AA. It’s the H.O. Style plug you have posted.

Lol. Still was fun.

That's both of us after being dumb hanging out in the sun changing a wiper motor.

Sorry I don't think any of them were wrong. My bad. But that an "M" after 1JT. I'll have Pete move it for me. I have no power to do that. But thanks for saving a truck!

Ok what I should’ve said is cruise control. I haven’t really given up on either lol. I can see the confusion. (Gonna go fix it) It just moved to the back burner for now. With no known good regulator for me to use, It has since become a low priority. Plan is to fix the one that burnt a resistor at some point and see why the heck this other one won’t do a bloody thing.

Well its been a busy day! Met up with pirate and picked the salvage yard. Compressor came in and will install that today. And I have thrown in the towel on cruise control(sorry for the confusion, lol)I don't know why or how this happened but it is beyond me. Damn. Wish AMC was still around.

Well, @Pirate_Stazand I finally met up today. Picked up some Jeep parts and talked Jeeps for a bit till we had stuff to go do. Was a fun filled day!

I’ll have to get in contact with him. You would think more of that tester would be around as it seems Dana was the leader in cruise control tech back in the day.
