87MJTIM

The 88 electrical manual lists all the grounds and their locations. Search the DIY section for the manual

Since his MJ description states a "2wd" I @$$-u-me he is doing a 4wd swap.

I mean that the tcase bolt holes are different on the YJ transmission. You cannot use the XJ DS on your MJ. It would have to be adjusted for proper length. Does bell housing come with the release bearing fork? Either transmissions will require changing the pilot bearing/bushing. The AX15s will (should) have .75" input shaft tips. The BA10 (and earlier AX15s) have .5" tips.

The 95 would be a YJ. 97 was the first year for TJ. The YJ will be clocked differently. Th tcase will shift upward, possibly hitting the floor. The XJ will bolt directly to the MJ. since you are doing a 4wd swap you will need to shorten your drive shaft. The XJ shaft is too short. You will need the tcase shifter from the XJ. does the XJ come with the bell housing? You will need that plus all the parts inside. Your current BH will not fit the AX15.

I got my daughter to do that also.

I found that the shift boot for a TJ fit for inner boot.

Lower radiator hose old or bad? With the engine running it may collapse restricting coolant flow

Yes, but... The e-fan switch is on the cool side of the radiator - not connected to the ECU. The engine temp sensor is on the driver's side block - feeding the ECU. The REM reads the ECU, which is not the temp coming from the radiator.

Mine kicks on around 219* according to the REM. It shuts off around 213*.

I beat you to it!

Is the e-fan temp switch bad? You say the e-fan come on with the AC, but it doesn’t when the temperature rises.

Which exit? (Sorry. I couldn’t resist.)

The cluster end is different for cruise control and non-cruise.

The 87 sounded more complete for a project. The 89 may have useful parts.

For RENIX era MJ/XJs I pull all the cruise control parts - from the stalk, wire harness, brake switch, clutch switch, control box (yellow), and servo.

Have you done the CAD delete? If not, then do this. If it is still not engaging then you may have to inside the tcase.

Joe, you don't say the year of the MJ. If the front axle has a CAD, then I would suggest checking the vacuum lines on the axle. If the lines are damaged and not giving vacuum to the CAD, the 4WD slider will not engage. Ask me how I know...

My interpretation of a German Alt

It is good. A little out of the style guidelines however. I guess I will just have to drink it

My interpretation of a Kolsch

Any style of beer is great, any season, on any day that ends with 'y'.

I see useful parts on that rusted one.

Her PapPaw had high cheek-bones:

Many years ago, I left my MJ outside my office overnight. It was park fronting a main road. I came back in the morning and found a note left on the windshield asking that if I was going to sell it, to call a phone #. I still have the note. I have never called the number.

Cables & pan. Those are driveablilty issues. The cross member can be replaced later.
