  1. My BA10 never left me stranded. I had approx 270k miles on it when I swapped. It was starting to whine in 1st gear and higher RPMs - starting our or low speed driving. The internal slave cyl was the primary reason I swapped to an AX15 w/ an external slave.
  2. 92 4wd XJ 5spd Jessup Maryland on the lot 8/3/2020 https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/LKQ_Pick_Your_Part_-_Jessup-206/recents/
  3. The crossmember and mount are the same for both MJ and XJs.
  4. I have read on CC and other Jeep forums that the 96 engine and wiring is not the most desirable. It was the first year of OBD2 engine controls. However, Chrysler was sill using the older OBD1 wiring and sensors. It was a hybrid of the old and new. There are several threads on CC about this. I read a lot of internet info when I did my 4.0 swap in a CJ7. I already had a 93 4.0 engine and wiring. Many of the thread said to get either 91-95 engines/wiring or 97+ engines/wiring. (I read this on the internet, so it must be true.)
  5. Yeah. Next thing you know, Jeep will put a truck bed on a 4 door Wrangler.
  6. Fix the pink wire to that connector. Attach the connector to the brake switch on the brake pedal. Match pink to pink. As for testing your cruise control, there is a device that test the wiring and vacuum unit, AM PC-1-R. However, the 88 Electric Manual has steps you can perform that will test the wiring with a DVOM. Download the 88 Manual in the DIY section on CC and perform those tests. My experience, though, is it is the yellow controller box that has gone bad. You will need to search for a replacement, since you cannot purchase new.
  7. Probably can’t go under too many overpasses

    Out of the loop

    My college student daughter has a classmate from CT. That girl said it may take 11 days to get power back on. That was Wednesday.
  9. Crossmember and transmission mount are separate pieces. The bell housing will depend on the year of the transmission. Pre-94 AX15s will have internal slave cyl. That’s the same as your BA10. The input shaft tip will be the same. No need to change clutch kits or pilot bushing. If the transmission is a 94+ these will be external slave cyl. Input shaft tips will be larger. As I suggested change the pressure plate and pilot bushing. You can purchase an all-in-one master/slave hydraulic clutch system if you gat an external slave bell housing.
  10. Be sure to ask about all the other parts you will need
  11. Nickintimedesign sells a Renix scanner. It just shows the readings the ECU gets. There are no DTCs or controls. it will assist you with diagnosing problems
  12. It used to intimidate me. I just took it one step at a time. YouTube has become my “goto” repair manual. If you have question or want to do something, search YouTube. Find several videos on what you want to do and watch them all. One may/will do things differently than another. One may give more details than the other. also, CC has a great knowledge base. Ask and you will get answers.
  13. That would be the proper bell housing for the external slave cyl transmission. No, you can’t run a 4wd transmission without a transfer case. You can run a transfer case without the front axle.
  14. Missed that part. “Sorry ‘bout that, Chief.” 86
  15. Get the Tcase from the XJ, also. Your current Tcase will not mate to the AX15. Get the trans crossmember. Get the trans mounting bracket. Get the bellbousing for the AX15 and the bearing release fork. Get the Tcase shift linkage. (The linkage for the AX is slightly different than the BA10. Although, modifying the current is doable.) Since you are (maybe) swapping to an external slave cyl trans, it is a good time to change clutch kits. I discovered when I swapped mine that the pressure plates changed when the AX15 switched from internal to external slave cyl. The old PP did fit and worked, it just did not feel correct. You will need to change the hydraulic system, also. Or at least the slave cyl. Be aware that the input shaft tips on the AX15 changed from ~1/2" to ~3/4" size (don't remember which years). You will need to change the pilot bushing. One that worked for me and is referenced often on CC is the pilot bushing for a '75 CJ5 w/ a 304 engine. I am very happy with my AX15 swap. Good luck.

    Buying stuff.

    Did yours originally have the tow mirrors? The reason I ask is that there is an internal door brace to support the mirrors. Without the brace, the wind against the mirror would bend/collapse the door skins.
  17. Luk makes a good clutch kit BTW this is a 12 year old thread

    Favorite jeep

    CJs, especially the CJ8. I would like own a 2 or 3A some day.
  19. Turned 309,000 miles yesterday, 7/28/20
  20. No fish currently. She had a Dam(n)-sel fish for YEARS. It was a vicious little cus. It attacked all the other fish in the tank. Wife wouldn’t get any more fish until the damsel became “fish food “. The thing finally died a few months ago. She’s been busy doing other things to get more fish.
  21. My wife has a 75 gal salt water tank. So, I guess I have one.
  22. Google Chrome.
  23. WOW! That MJ was sold from Henry Gay Jeep in Laurel, MD. That was just up the street from where I lived (a few miles). I was in Beltsville, MD. I have the original sticker for mine. Came with the off road package but no mention of rear track lock. EDIT: the dealership is Henry G-a-y. Not: ghey. spell checker keeps "correcting" it.
  24. Here is the Renix fuel injection manual. It's a great reference source for our Renix Jeeps.
  25. I guess you are taking the readings from the square terminal, not the flat terminal. Have you adjusted the TPS? The 4.62 is high. The BC output should be .83 of the AB output. A high idle like you describe could be vacuum related. Have you checked the vac line from the MAP to the throttle body? I have recently had trouble with the TB not closing all the way when I release the pedal. It only rev's about 1000-1200, thou. Look to see if the TB is stuck initially.
