No worries. I’ll get it decoded tonight. Thanks for getting back to it

Baffle is long gone but you don’t need it. I used a big 5 quart valvoline oil cap and it works great. I found a NOS one on eBay and bought it. There should be seven dealers left with them. Would you like me to PM you some numbers?

That full instrument cluster needs to be saved! That’s the blue faces!

Yea that is true. But this salvage yard has nothing but Jeeps as new as 2001. But not a lot but they have plenty of resourceful Renix era parts for me. Most still have the AC/heater box plenums. Sadly some moron that worked for them many years back tossed all the Renix engine harnesses. I think anyone would be happy to get rid of any part associated with the 2.8L

As soon as I saw this post I went to the salvage yard I frequent and snagged what I needed.

This style? Freshly restored.

I may have a selec-trac nameplate that I pulled from a Cherokee. Can get you a pic when I get home if it is the right style you are looking for.

No problem.

It is Renix. The dash harness didn’t drastically change till about 91

I’ve been been hogging some MJ pictures and I need to share them. This is a beautiful one owner Laredo located in Everette Washington. Original owner too! I’ll get the VIN when I go back this next week And this is a gorgeous 87 Sportruck at AMC salvage. Serviceman sold it to them and a guy begged and pleaded them to sell it to him and they did so I hope it is in good hands. Even gave them a club card to give to the owner. Has marchal 750 fogs. Only thing that’s broke is the 4.0. That’s the only reason why the serviceman sold it

Glad to know that! She seems happy to sit there all day. She will even do 70 for me if I ask her. Again this was just an idea. I had a spare trans laying around now and it turns out the trans is an AX4. Never seen one in person till now.

I guess what I’m asking is did all of our MJs and XJs come AC ready from the factory on the interior harness or do I need to source the harness?

Don’t tell me AC needs it’s own wiring harness and it’s not already there from the factory.

Probably right about that, wrong direction to go, but ratios were never my thing and I am doing my best to understand them more. Might do that. Being only 22 and used to how modern cars are, 3000rpm seems high and foreign for me while cruising. Glad my idea brought more insight on traveling at 3000rpm. I'm currently on 215's and my tach is accurate, 3000 was just a good round number, its some where like 2900. 8.8, never happening. Staying stock. I guess I don't do enough freeway driving to really change the gearing. I do appreciate everyone's responses. I had a thought and I have learned that the idea I have won't work.

Neat! So the numbers on those are probably low. Course I wonder why Chrysler used the 97 and up letter style seeing how the Comanche never got to that era.

That thought crossed my mind. I just gotta hunt down the bell housing. Course I did just get AC for the 2.5 so the sky’s the limit on that one.

Here’s an idea. I don't know how many of us have looked at a 5 and a 15 and said I could swap the internals or even conceived the thought. Hell I’ve never seen a 15 in person. I have seen a BA10/5 though. Well i’m wondering, can the fifth gear of the 15 be swapped and used on a 5? But Eagle, why would you want to do such a thing? Well I would love to cruise at high way speeds without being at 3000 rpm at 65mph on the poor little 2.5L. Now I could go the route of dropping in a 4.56 gear ratio and see if that would help, which it probably would but doing differential work scares the hell out of me. I’m fine with grenading a trans but not a rear diff if I do something wrong on the swap. So that being said, I now have an extra AX5 and maybe someone might have an thought on putting the 15’s fifth gear on the 5.

like Christmas! I can see why the owner got rid of this engine. A dreaded fram filter. This shall be fun. Also that valve cover is the same hard plastic Chrysler uses. So why do our replacement ones suck? China. Oh and stay tuned for AC

Still waiting on my crate to show up. Once I get it, it’s gonna be a slow process. Got a few parts to order/get still. I can snag you a pic of the whole harness and send it to you in a PM.

So that way you won’t have to build you own. If you do though make sure you use 80’s GM connectors. There should be a four plug connector on the drivers side of the engine bay hidden by the washer and coolant bottle for the 2.5L that is plugged by a cap. I have a NOS wiring harness if you would like to see the connections.

I don’t know if you want to go to a dealership but MoPar still has them.

I wish I took pictures of the old vent valves when I changed them to fix the over flowing before the gas pump stops problem, but they looked as you would expect for being thirty years old, roasted like a marshmallow. But I did give him a few things to check while on the back channel. Luckily the vent system isn't as complex as say a modern vehicle like a 5.7L Hemi.
