That is the TCU fuse and the connector should plug into a resistor pack under the passenger side dash.

Parking brake pedal with no resistance
87MJTIM replied to TGlocks's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Welcome to the club. Fill in your truck profile in your signature. First, an 86 did not come with a 4.0. (Unless a PO swapped in a 4.0) (87 model year was introduced in late 86, but was labeled as an 87) If the pedal goes to the floor with no resistance, check the cable to see if it is broken or frozen some where under the truck. -
I would question that chart. The BA10 never had 23 spline output shafts, at least not offered on Jeeps.

What transmission do you have? The input shafts changed from 21 splines to 23 splines. The BA10 used 21 splines. The AX15 used 23 splines. I don't know about the AX4/AX5 that came behind a 2.5. Also, the AW4 (auto) changed from 21 to 23, but I don't know when.

Congratulations. He will grow up FAST! My little girl is 19 and in college. Where did all those years go?

Vehicles can be replaced; people cannot be replaced. Glad she is OK. I rolled my college roommate's car. I wasn't wearing a seat belt. I walked away without a scratch. Ever since then I wear seat belts.

What's that phrase I'm thinking of? "You can't fix stupid."

My wife and daughter were in Poland a few years ago and they noticed that most of the cars there had manuals. Sadly, that is Europe. I live in the good, old USA.

Manual shifting We have 5 vehicles at our house. Only one is an auto. We taught our daughter to drive a stick. She prefers the manuals over the auto. (Sadly, manuals are going the way of the Dodo.)

What?!?! It should be fine...as long as it doesn't rain. Looks like his flashers are on. Safety second, I always say.

Truly sad news. I saw Rush a number of times in the past. Always a good show. God bless. RIP

The "Jeep Wave" as I understand and practice it: Drivers of Jeep CJ/YJ/TJ/JK/JL wave to one another. Typically, with the left hand resting on top of steering wheel, the drive raises 2 to 4 fingers to acknowledge another Jeep driver. Other forms of waving are acceptable. Some websites say that the younger Jeeps (JL/JK) wave first to the older Jeeps (CJ/YJ). Although, I have initiated the wave from my CJ to "younger" Jeeps. There is no "official" Jeep wave to/for other models. However, while in my MJ, I wave to XJs and MJs, but not to other model Jeeps. I started this thread because I got a Jeep Wave from a Gladiator driver. It got me thinking....
-
In my CJ, I wave to other CJ/YJ/TJ/etc. In my MJ, I will wave to XJs (though not all wave back) and other MJs (few that there are). There are not cross waves, however. I just want to get a felling for others on CC.

While driving today, I passed a Gladiator. As it was going by, I realized the driver was giving the Jeep Wave. I did not. Not out of disrespect, but I just didn't think about it. This got me wondering: Do other MJ drivers wave to Gladiator drivers?

I'm having issues getting into 1st and 2nd while at a stop. I will shift through the gears to finally get it into 1st - with force. There is no grinding or sounds while getting into gear. I have a clutch master/slave combo kit. There is no bleed screw at the slave cyl. I found this youtube video on bleeding a hydro clutch that does not have a bleed screw. I did not remove the whole system to try some of the steps. I just unbolted the slave cyl and tried pumping it from below. No one was with me, so I could not see if bubbles came out. It did shift easier (for a while). I'm thinkin' of swapping out to a bleedable system.

Throttle Position and Crank Position Sensors
87MJTIM replied to KANTANKRUS's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The TPS is pretty simple. Two torx screws attach it to the throttle body. You will need to adjust it to function properly. See Cruiser's Tips for the steps. You will need a multi-meter to set it. The CPS is bolted to the top of the bell housing. You will need some ratchet extensions and some patients. Also, see Cruiser's Tips. -

As someone who is self-employed, and works with business owners who are self-employed, I can tell you (and everyone) that being SE is two jobs. One is doing the work that earns you money. The second is doing the accounting/record keeping that lets you know how your business is doing. If you are not good at the second, then hire someone who is good at it. Think before you leap.

89 4x4 Conversion And AX15 Swap HELP
87MJTIM replied to Killernoise's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
A PROPERLY MOUNTED AX15 bolted to a PROPERLY MOUNTED 4.0 should not be sitting as far back as yours is sitting. I have to guess that there is something else wrong that is pushing everything back. (Just throwing stuff to see what sticks.) Were the motor mounts changed that pushed the engine back? (Although there is not a lot of room to do that.) Is the bell housing correct for the trans? (A BH that is too long would not explain have to cut the input shaft tip.) Is the trans an AX5 (not a 15)? I don't know what the length difference is . -
Do a self assessment. What other interest do you have? Is there something else that you have wanted to do/try? What training/certifications are needed to work in that field? Do you know others in that field, either directly or through other connections? Try contacting that person and talk with them about the work. Would you be willing to relocate to pursue the new job? Contact a local college or trade school and speak to an adviser about options.

I know this is not the correct location to show this, but I want a lot of people to see it. https://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/d/elysburg-1994-jeep-cherokee/7044687902.html I'm not sure I would want it. Actually, I am sure I DON'T want it. 1994?!?! Someone should tell the seller that AMC sold Jeep to Chrysler in '88

An 88 Part-out...possible Metric Ton pkg
87MJTIM replied to coolwind57's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Maybe a B-tard pack. -
Brown Santa delivered it early. I set it up and played with it some - lifted my CJ off the ground. I will use it this weekend to change the oil in several low profile cars - Subaru Legacy for one. Probably won't get to really test it until spring, when the outside temp warms up. The real Santa delivered the truck adapter kit.

89 4x4 Conversion And AX15 Swap HELP
87MJTIM replied to Killernoise's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
What transmission did you have originally - BA 10/5 or AX15? (89 was a transition year from the BA to AX.) You need the cross member for an AX to work. The MJ has the holes to fit either the BA or AX cross member. I can see the extra holes in your photograph. The drive shaft will have to be shortened to allow for a tcase. The DS from the XJ will not fit. Something doesn't seem correct with your description and photos. The BA and AX are roughly the same length. Yours should not sit that far back. Did a PO make other "mods" to the truck?
