Other nuances! The hockey puck arm rest chrome trim, including the little diamonds for the ends! Go figure mine ran off somewhere.. Those marchelle fog lights! And mud flaps!

So before I pull it off just wanted to show you its condition. It had been a while since i looked at this closer. The cable does move, no binding but the retaining end for the carb doesn't have the tabs anymore. And the sheathing is a little worn. I don't know if you will find one thats really in any better shape but I just wanted to point that out in case you were looking for something better.

I can pull it off for you. Been trying to sell the Trans and tcase to no luck. Will likely end up tossing it, but if there's anything else you want off it let me know.

Would it be the one on my transmission?

Well back to Candace again, working on that efforts of curing her of her cancer. Removing plates and cutting out the unibody rust. The cancer. Plate removed! And out unibody section removed. From there the last inner section was cut. I still have a spot to cut out. But for the most part its all been removed and I can start making my patch panels to put back in.

I'm not sure if it helps you at all but the front bumper is the same as the cherokees if that helps your search at all

None taken lol I never expected the first print to be perfect anyway haha

Well.. first attempt was.. close. But I'm not happy about the print. Just an update for you!

It has once again been a little while since ive done any progress to the truck. A lot of life has happened in a short amount of time that pulled me away from this truck. House renovations, family, travel, I lost my brother last year. Its been a lot. But I can finally say I'm back on it. Taking it slow and assessing the rust on the driver rail under the floor. Ive got my work cut out for me yet. But I have a game plan. Inside of the rail was full of old mud that had hardened to almost cement. A wonder why its so rusted inside. Peeling it back one layer at a time. Will shape some patches and put it all back soon. Still have cutting and cleaning to do.

Okay! Give me some time while I make it then!

So i looked at my 86 column and I understand what you are looking for now. Are you looking for original? I could probably 3D print the little piece

Or a yj

I feel like one from an s10 could work too. Late 80s early 90s. I could be wrong but it is the same column.

That i did not know, but I was just trying to understand the situation a little better is all. Some people like to pull the tank when they swap the pumps. The only thing I can think of is the vents are clogged.

Vacuum, or pressure? The old pump may have just been very weak. But as far as I understand, if your truck is a 2.5, it didn't get a ballast resistor. If its a 4.0 maybe someone removed it and just connected the spade connectors together. Either way, it would quiet the pump down. Did you drop the tank to change the pump?

No antenna either. And not a fan of the black header against the nice glass red rest of the truck.

The bulb for the 4wd indicator could be bad or the vaccume switch on the passenger side of the firewall next to the blower motor could be bad or not seeing the vaccume it needs to trip the light. You can fairly easily add a windshield washer sensor, but you would need the tank and sensor. I think they had shift up lights for the manual mjs, maintenence light, check engine.

Sounds like both the carb and timing might be off.

The more i look through and read on this the more i feel like someone has swapped out the aw4 for a 3 speed and done some messing around. My two hunched are the Trans is shot, or the Trans isn't compatible with the renix setup. If the mj has a tcu then it should be an aw4. And my guess is someone didn't know how to work on or fix the Trans so they swapped a 3 speed in that they had. The kick down cable might not be compatible with the throttle body and its just not allowing for proper Trans fluid pressure and shifting.

I do have one. Unless someone takes the trans and transfercase, i can pull it off for you before scrapping them. Ive got last call on them.

I'd love to see photos. I'm interested but its probably out of my price range. I miss driving my truck so I want another to scoot around in while mine is under restoration.

Id be wondering about price myself..

Adding to the spotting list again, a cj5 i spotted at the same yard 1 week later. dauntless v6 that was locked up. Factory soft top, still had the amc logo sticker on one of the braces. Body was very straight but very rotted. And I found a jem in the back under a tire. Tempted to go back for the tailgate.

Hard to tell what the underside looks like with the snow. Floors were not good though. Poor patch job. And sadly around me salvage yards around me don't let you buy complete. That and once its in the yard, if it had a title its voided

Spotted in a yard local to me. Tempted to go back for that minty grille..
