WOAH!! Like beetle juice. Mentioned diesel MJ 3 times and the myth, the legend appears.

6 o’clock on the distributor at TDC.

To set the timing if you do a rebuild or change out the distributor.

Id definitely run those wheels. Theyre pretty damn cool and of the era.

Wow, factory bed rails, factory liner, lund visor and spoiler. Damn, thats almost peak 80's.

No it’s not. Timing is controlled by the ECU and ICM. I honestly have no idea if this mod will positively improve the 2.5L or not. I have yet to do this mod. Not sure if I want to really.

Yeah it would be the BA10 but I’ll tell ya, we ain’t gonna crucify ya if you run an AX15

Oh and they were typically 4.0L's. Not sure which trans set ups they had.

1987. The only year you could get them and usually from a dealer in California.

Only one other person could pull more accurate codes but I haven’t seen him on in a long while. But I honestly wouldn’t look to much I to decoding all the letters. They’re just itemized letters for different specs like others have said. Not like we’re working on ford or GM cars where you’re hard pressed to make your car as it left the factory. We have Jeeps. We can build them how we want.

The order you stated would be the way I’d do it. You can tilt a triangle easier than a square in such a small space.

This reminds me of my 84 where it doesn’t have the bolt to keep it in place but it has a spring tab on the lock to keep it in place.

No problem!

Yikes. Love it when folks don’t even try to use the right tool to get something off. Oh well. Hopefully you get it off. If not there’s still a line out there that’s made.

Lol! As for the brake system bypass, I’ve heard it’s as simple as connecting the lines together. But don’t quote me as I still have mine operating.

Hahahaha hell yeah!! Love it when it’s that simple. You should’ve seen me trying to figure out my issue on a running yet dying fuel pump.

Yeah the socks are one of those it either fits nicely or it doesn’t. Zip ties come in clutch here. But that could be your problem along with a rotting hose. Combine the two and you’ll have that pump struggling to send fuel up with the sock creating a clog, the junk and that line just being almost rope again.

Clean tank! If that sock fell off from whoever last toyed with it as they put it in, I can see it getting clogged up.

That hose looks pretty damn awful actually. That would cause the engine to run like trash and creating a rich condition cause its struggling to stay running. There should be a sock on the bottom of your pump like that XJ pump you have there. Luckily the socks interchange. What does the inside of the tank look like to really tarnish everything?

You can swap all the parts on the XJ assembly over. Ahhhh yes the 86 sending unit dilemma. So you can swap over parts like the float level and hose and wiring. You can not how ever swap the bigger pump to that unit. You can swap the smaller pump to the bigger one but not the other way around. I am pretty sure you cant as I had an issue where I had to figure out why my fuel level was reading funny on my XJ and it used that smaller unit. Then I ended up having an issue where the pump was dying on me and would only produce enough pressure to last me a 5 min drive. If that. Do you just need to swap the hose over?

IAT doesnt look too bad actually. Better shape that most. That cage is usually melted off. To find the CTS, put your finger where the IAT sits, go towards the drivers fender and youll find the CTS bolted into the manifold on the side. That O2 doesnt look happy, or good. Looks a little burnt. Glad ya checked the timing for giggles and its ok.

Its this kind of crap that irritates me when selling through ebay. Yeah its a huge audience but then you get the scum that abuse the policy like walmarts return policy. Then again retail had that coming...anywho I could go on a huge tangent but thats a pub post for another day.

Oooooo I didnt think of this but I can see there not being enough material left on the balancer to drive the pulleys.

Wow....this is why I have all my sales final. Course ebay has a crappy seller protection in place so the customer can rob you regardless.

It’s Chrysler recycling codes on dealerconnect. They’re not as accurate as the build sheet in starparts but JMO hasn’t been around in a bit and I still don’t work at a Chrysler dealer so yeah.
