  1. I have the opposite issue. My MJ is missing the jack, all the tools, and whatever strap holds it all. Will any years of xj interchange?
  2. I'm looking to put a tonneau cover on my 92 short bed. I have seen pasta about using a Ford ranger tonneau, but a 94 S10 is nearly identical by interior measurements of the bed. What did you use?
  3. They came from oreilly.Brake Best Select brand.
  4. My son brought me brake best pads. I asked for cheap pads... So while diagnosing & repairing this problem I'm not destroying good pads.
  5. I removed the line before & after the check valves, capped the intake end, and tested the system with a gauge & vacuum pump. Then tested the system with the truck running to verify that it was getting sufficient inches of mercury to operate properly. Like I said. I'm a retired auto tech. I have tools, and basic knowledge of vehicles, but not MJ's in specific. I'm waiting on brown Santa to bring my FSM, but until then I thought I might get lucky and find out that there's some querk to the brake problem, and find a definite location on the mode actuator so I can test it directly.
  6. No, you miss understood. The pads I just put on are manufactured with the design that can not be improperly placed on the inboard & outboard. So that's not the issue.
  7. Checked those while I was replacing pads. No issue there.
  8. I noticed the pads right off. The set I just installed are slightly different inboard & outboard. You can't get an outboard pad on the inner mount. It won't fit. The vacuum system checks out, no leaks. I'm just not familiar with an MJ, so I was wanting some directions to the location of the mode actuator. I've seen them rusted in place, or disconnected if someone has been tinkering previously. I want to put hands on the actuator, and test it directly before I order a replacement.
  9. I just picked up this 92 MJ 4.0 5spd SB 2wd from a meth head hillbilly a week ago. Of course he lied extensively about what had been fixed. Thankfully I didn't pay much, and there's no rust on it! I'm a retired auto tech, but totally new to MJ's. I have 3 wranglers in the driveway, and I got the MJ to become my daily driver! Brakes are the important issue to deal with first. So here we go... While driving I randomly start to feel resistance against the drivetrain, then can smell the hot brakes. It's evenly across the front brakes, no rear interaction that I can tell. Let it cool, and can drive on for a few miles, or hours, it's random. The previous owner apparently had an issue as well because upon inspection it has a shiney new set of rotors, pads, calipers, hoses, and master cylinder. I removed the calipers to check them, and they collapsed easily, pushed fluid back to the master cylinder resivoir with no issue. Fluid is all clean & clear, though I bled the system anyway, and filled with fresh fluid. Any ideas? My mode door in the HVAC air box is stuck on defrost. I'm fairly sure it's going to be the vacuum actuator, as the vacuum lines aren't showing any leaks. I'm not sure where the mode actuator is located. I always like to test the part before I just think I have it narrowed down. I've seen stuff get down in an air box and jam up the doors. Techs have cost customers big $$$ only to find a $.25 Bic pen holding a blend, or mode door from moving! I've searched online, but I get mixed results. If someone could point me to the mode door actuator.....
