I say replace the seal and bushing first. Then test for your rumbling. I had that issue before and the extension got too hot and wore out both the bushing and case to where you could not put a bushing in and have it stay in place. Course that was due to no oil in the rear extension. But you may have found your problem with the wobbling yoke

YES! Best one by far

I have honestly contemplated buying parts for the 4.2Litre AC system minus the core, lines and compressor as the part numbers for both engines are the same. Orrrrrr I hunt down the H.O. brackets but I do not know how well those will line up with the rest of the pulleys.

I'm looking for every piece to the AC system and the 2.5L specifics like the mounting bracket, hoses and wiring harness.

Figured as much. Thanks Jeep Driver.

Hey guys, Question. Since the 2.5L and 4.0L share similar mounting bolt hole locations for the accessories like the alt and power steering. Is it at all even possible to snag everything AC from a 4.0L Renix and mount and use on a 2.5L? I have not seen anything that discusses this and 2.5L anything is getting rare, especially in AZ. Figured id ask this before I go asking for parts.

Had a poly set for a couple years. Awful ride for just daily driving. Lost a transmission to poly bushings. If it's a rubber set then you should be good.

Check the bulbs and sockets. If the sockets are corroded and or rusted it is recommended to upgrade and replace then old sockets with the new style found on XJs after '90

I agree with Ohm. it should be emissions timer

Dr. Frankenstein called. He wants his car back.

Will I totally forgot and didn’t think to ask! Course I should’ve done more searching for it. I’ll send you a PM Thanks Jeremy! That radio will be next up soon.

Quick little update; Cruise control has been way to far into the works but it is moving along and hopefully should be ready soon. What I have acquired after getting the whole cruise control: NOS throttle cable for the 2.5L, NOS vacuum harness for cruise, brake switch, NOS speedo cables and Crown cables both upper and lowers. I figured out a couple things for this project that has taken so long: Renix vacuum reservoirs that is shaped like the football is next to near impossible and the automatic trans bracket for the vacuum dump valve for cruise will fit and work on the manual set up, it just won't be connected to the clutch but that's ok. The manual bracket mounts on a bracket in front of where the connecting rod connects to the clutch pedal. If this was known to anyone on where the clutch dump valve mounts for a manual, awesome! If not it will be here for the future. As for the vacuum reservoir situation, well I think this idea should work as its the same concept but it put into one part and not two like how they did it in 84-86. I have a second "softball" vacuum reservoir that should act as the other half of the "football" reservoir and should control the servo. That was a pain to get the screw to thread and go in. A lot of planning and time has gone into this but it was just my luck to find CC from an 86 XJ and not an 87-90. Once this is done, I'll be replacing the clutch master cylinder. I think and believe the one I replaced the stock one has failed and its obnoxious to keep my foot on the pedal just to hold pressure in the line. So the stock one has been rebuilt and will go back in. So much for pristine floors in a desert.

No problem.

Unfortunately you won't be able to swap anything since your 86 cluster is idiot lights and the other is from an H.O. XJ. The idiot light cluster has no way for it to house the gauge versions due to the light sockets. You will need a Renix era gauge cluster. I had the same thought when I had my idiot light cluster.

check the turn signal flasher/relay? It should be one of two round relays on the fuse panel

Hey Pete, I don't know if you are a star wars fan or not but I have seen a license plate on an XJ that said XJ JEDI and I think MJ SITH is a great response to that.

I agree with Ohm on the front plate. I have the AMC flag with Jeep next to it as my front plate.

NTMOPAR REALTRCK NOTAFIAT 88SFINST Thats all I got

Heh. The slight benefit to working at a dealer. An internet search will not tell you that.

There are seven dealers in the U.S. that still have that antique. I may have to order one now

But finding them is like finding an auto 2.5L MJ

Did or have you replaced the center bearing that sits in the middle of the fly wheel?

Well is been a month since I asked about this. I decided the Dremel route and honestly that is a lot better of an idea than the drill bit without sacrificing too much metal of the body. I swapped T-bodies anyways and the old one just sat on the back burner for a while. But here it is only a drill attempt and cut off wheel damage: Could be worse. Did not have to tap for a size up, and it's hidden by the retainer.

That’s the ECU. The brain of your truck.

Turbo boost. Possibly electronic controlled. I liked how the whole dash bezel was red with the silver trim.
