1987 Comanche not sure of trim 4.0 BA-10/5 Np231 D30HP D44LSD 6ft Bed (originally 2wd) Build Date- 3/13/87 Location -Ontario Status- Currently on the road Notes- Exterior colour- Dark blue. Interior colour- baby blue. Limited slip D44 with 5 leaf packs but only 3.07 gears Current Owner- Me, Andre

Used. Found a whole axle on marketplace for $60 so I’ll probably end up just swapping the axle since it’s got newer ball joints and it’s non CAD.

Well thanks for your help everyone, I found a good deal on some 3.55 gears and not having to swap any carriers or anything sounds good to me so 3.55 it is for now at least.

Hey I’m thinking about re gearing my truck to get a little more umph when you push the pedal and I’m torn between 3.55s and 3.73s. My trucks a 4.0 5 speed and I run 235/75/15s which I think are like 29s. I don’t plan on changing my tire size to anything bigger and the truck gets driven daily with a mix of city and highway. What do y’all think is the best option to make it feel a little more sporty but not be wound out and sucking back the gas on the highway? Thanks, Andre

Hey so I I think I might be figuring out parts of the puzzle, or I’m way off but there has been this 4 pin weatherpak connector up by the washer fluid bottle that I’ve wondered what it did for a while now and I was down there looking for wiring for the electric fan and just noticed that the mysterious plug also has this pesky blue/white wire. Then I noticed that it also has two light greens and a orange and those seem to be all the colours I'm messing with for ac. So I’m thinking maybe that plug is there for maybe the dealer added ac so they could just put all the wiring in and plug it in there and not have to mess with the bulk connector. Hopefully it’s that simple since I didn’t really want to have to try and depin/repin that monster connector

Hey I’m working on adding all the wires needed for ac into my trucks harness. I’m having a very mind boggling issue with one of the wires from the clutch relay. So on my donor Cherokee harness (1988) the blue/white wire come out of the relay and goes into a 10 pin connector near the diagnostic port. However on my truck (1987) there is already a blue/white wire there and it runs all the way from the bulkhead connector (C100) to the one above the engine (C101). I can’t find a blue/white wire anywhere in the wiring diagrams other than for the clutch relay to the ECM. If anyone knows what this wire is for that would be appreciated or how to add the ac wiring to it

Hey I’m looking for the display that goes in the clock area for the early XJ sentinel system. Let me know what you got, thanks

None around me even have any old Cherokees, never mind one with a 242 unfortunately

Anybody else got anything?

Hey I was just thinking and I’m wondering if it would be possible to put a rear sway bar out of a XJ onto a MJ? I know some fabrication would be needed to mount it to the body but other than that everything should line up right?

I’ve sent you both messages, thanks

Hey I’m looking for a internal slip yoke 242 output shaft. Let me know what you have, Thanks P.S. should look like this if it’s internal slip yoke

Ah ok I guess I’m lucky then cause mine are nice and tight. And I bought a set of doors and these mirrors were on them so I’d guess the brackets are in there.

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a set of the factory tow mirrors for my MJ. I’ve been looking into making them heated to help with being able to see behind me on my way to work in the morning. I am just wondering if anyone has ever removed the glass from the mirror housing and without breaking anything? Is the glass glued in or is it held in some other way, perhaps with the rubber seal around the edge? Any help would be appreciated. Also I know I could get 97+ mirrors that are heated but I like the look of the tow mirrors, just want them to defrost. I’ve added a picture of the mirrors I have.

Ah ok I’ll try that. What about paint for the plastic? Anybody got any recommendations?

Hey everyone I’m looking for a good source to get the light blue fabric for my trucks interior. I went to all my local fabric stores but everything is too bright of blue. Any sources would be appreciated. Oh also does anyone know a good spray paint that matches the plastics? Here’s some photos I found online of my interior colour

Wow that’s a awesome find. Interesting it still has the MJ taillights molded into it.

Ok yeah I found that sensor. Is there any way to test it before I put it back in? Also I crawled up under the dash and the non AC box doesn’t even have a door on the bottom so I guess I’ll be cleaning this one up.

Hey I’m in the process of cleaning up my new to me heater box with ac. The chunk of the box in front of the blower motor and that has the resistor in it is pretty rusted out so I’m wondering if when I take the non AC box out of my truck this summer if I can just swap this piece over or if it’s completely different. Also on a unrelated note does anyone know where you can get the temp sensor that goes into the evaporator? I forgot to pull it out first and mangled it getting the evap out and I'm afraid I might have punctured it.

Hey I've been looking into adding power windows/locks to my truck and I can find lots of information about the windows but not much on the locks. I'm wondering if the only part for power locks you need is the actuator or if there are some linkages or a different door latch or something? Thanks, Andre

No I do not. Is there an online copy somewhere?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there is a list of all the possible factory options for our trucks. Thanks

Oh ok awesome, unfortunately someone hacked the end of the upper cable when they took the dash out I’d imagine

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking for replacement part numbers for both the upper and lower speedometer cables for a 87 4.0 5 speed 4wd with cruise control. All the previous posts I can find nobody seems to have cruise. I can’t find the upper cable online and rock auto has listings for the lower ones but the 96” ones don’t look like they’d screw onto the speed sensor and the 38” one seems a bit short of 96” total seeing as the upper cable is only like a foot long. Thanks for the help, Andre

I just measured the hole in my bottle for the sensor and it’s 1” 5/16 or about 34MM
