Problem with my engine temp reading:
offroader461 replied to Car RamRod's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
mine in my XJ does the same thing when the key doesnt release all they way back....does you radio work? if it does then you might have a short in the CTS wiring somewhere. -
yea ordered this way when he purchased it...did not want the 5spd b/c it was extra $ and it was only going to be a ranch truck so he didnt need the extra gear...when my buddy got it we pulled everything out for a rebuild (motor and trans) and i know what an AX4 looked like and it was not one...so we found the build sheet and associated paperwork only to find out it was a T-4...total surprise to me but its a factory deal
-
i have read it on a Jeep tech site that the borg-warner t/4 and t/5 were used in the 86 comanches....and as a matter of fact the 86 cherokees as well my buddy has a T-5 in his 86 cherokee and i have had the pleasure of seeing it first hand because we had to pull it out...his jeep is totally stock other than suspension 86 XJ 4x4 w/ 2.8 T-5 Np207 also another buddy has an 86 MJ 2wd with a 2.8 T-4 with 3.54's from the factory and i know this b/c he has the original build sheet...his dad had the truck ordered that way from the factory back in 1986..his vin number states the same thing as JEEPCOMJ's does...just states its a 4spd trans, no specific tranny...but the buildsheet he has confirmed what i had thought so I'm my experience i have seen in the 86 models the AX4, AX5, T-4 and T-5

Front axle/Front suspension noise? plz help
offroader461 replied to 702_MJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
its a 36MM socket you can get from autozone...yea that pretty much means that the unit bearing or wheel bearing is toast...i would check the wheel bearings first then check the back of the unit bearing and see if its grinding...if so just replace it with a new one...can't be rebuilt..either a J/Y replacement or buy new -

97+ nose conversion.
offroader461 replied to Car RamRod's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
you don't need the harness...the headlights are the same..just on the opposite side...the parking light you can modify the bulb holder...and the turn signal just pops in...the pre97 has 1 turn signal bulb..the 97 and up has two...i just ran the 1 and it was fine -
my buddy ran into the same problem when he did his SOA...he used 2wd metric ton springs and it ended up being like 8-9" of lift...

Well my 87 MJ has a slight head gasket leak so i will need to pull it off anyways...i have a 92 H.O. motor with everything including the computer and harness if i need it, that i pull everything necessary to do the swap...question is should I? I plan to swap: -H.O. head, valve cover -Intake and T/B -Exhaust manifold or header The only hang up would be the TPS but i can make something or splice wires to make it work correctly Opinions and Suggestions Appreciated!!! :D
