Sorry, I could not resist. BTW, English was my foreign language in school. With the hissing sound, I would say you booster is shot. The master may also be allowing fluid to pass the piston. So both may need to be replaced. If the master and booster are original, you could look into do a master/booster upgrade from a 95-96 XJ. This will involve a total bleeding of the system. If you still have the by-pass valve, there are multiple bleeding steps to perform. Search the DIY section on how to perform the steps. Good luck. Again, sorry 'bout that, Chief.

I have read through several threads on replacement rocker panels. I have also googled the parts. What I found on the 'net is that there are two makers of these parts: C2C and Sherman. I gather from the other threads that C2C are not good fits/matches. Sherman seems to be a better match. Can anyone confirm this? I will search for a parts vehicle, but all the MJs are just as old as mine. They may/will have the same issue with rusted rockers. Here is my issue. I finally got my truck back from the body shop that did the work two years ago. I had to take in back in early Sept to have them correct issues they did fix properly the first time. (rusted floors :mad: It took them 4 months to get it back to me. Not because of the amount of work, but because they didn't want to work on it. I was told I wasn't a priority!) While it was in there, I pointed out some paint blistering on the drive's side rocker panel. The tech told me it is rusting from within and that it will need to be replaced in the future. (They won't be doing it!) So now I am starting my search for the parts. Does anyone have first hand experience with Sherman? Are there other suppliers besides the two I found? Thanks

I see lots of AX15s on craigslist. They are usually listed from $300 to $500. Not sure where in VA you are.

It terrible when no one cuts me a break, especially when my truck has no brakes

87 5sp but what engine? 4.0 or 2.5. If 4.0 and a stock trans, you have BA10/5. Most people will say it is not worth fixing. Look for an AX15 from a later model XJ, preferable one with an external slave. If 2.5, then it would have come with an AX5. Beyond that, I don't know.

That is why I switched to an AX15 w/ external slave. My MJ was on its 5th internal slave cyl. I have always said it was not getting a 6th.

JeepsOLot: From your signature line, I don't see a BA10 listed, or Jeep that would have even come with a BA10. The BA is diff from the AX.

1. Slide the boot sleeve up. There are four ( ?) bolts that hold the shifter to the trans. Just lift the whole thing up. Put a cover, like foil, over the opening to keep stuff from falling in. 2. As Gogmorgo said, it is held by ball-n-socket connectors. It may help to loosen the bracket on the trans/tcase side to give some room to pop the connections. The bracket is held on by two nuts that hold the tcase to the trans. 3. Four bolts hold the trans to the engine. However, there are lower bolts that hold the dust cover to the bellhousing. Also, the two bolts that hold the starter. 4. I did an AX15 swap last Sept. Here is my thread on the swap. I may have some tips on dropping the trans and tcase. http://comancheclub.com/topic/48136-my-ax15-swap/ Good luck.

Not currently. The XJ is parked at a mechanics shop (who signed it over to me). I will be back there in approx. 2 weeks.

Pulled from a 93 XJ. It has a tan/beige interior with the wood grain door panels. Unfortunately, the doors are manual windows and lock, not electric. I cannot use them.

I purchased General Springs 3:2 leaf pack. These raised my bed approx. 2 - 3" from the sagging old leaf pack. See MJOM July 2014 for pictures.

I just meant was it bedside rust why it was getting body work PM sent to Mike. I should get the truck back next week. Fingers crossed. I will get the measurements when it is back in my possession.

Thanks, Those are both pre resto pictures. They were the only ones I could find (quickly) that showed the mirrors. What about the "bed side"?

I will as soon as my truck is back from the body shop :fs1: :mad: It has been there for 3 months (for the third time) to fix rust they did not correct the first time.

AMC = Any Makers Components. Mine is '87. Jeep/AMC/Chry could have changed suppliers over the years.

Snap On made a scanner - MT2500. It only reads real time. There are not stored codes. You will need the correct make and year cartridges plus the appropriate cables.

A FSM for a 93 XJ says to use Mopar ATF Plus, type 7176, or Dexron II. Approx. 1 qt. I don't know if DII and DIII are compatible.

NP231 should get ATF

Someone supposedly asked A. Lincoln, "How long should a man's legs be?" Lincoln: "Long enough to reach the ground."

Those mirror are definitely after market. They are mounted too far forward on the door. The driver has to look through the vent glass to see the mirror. Here's mine. Factory installed

Manual or auto? Will you be planning on converting to 4wd? BTW - include in you signature a description of your truck: year, engine, trans, 2 or 4 wd, any modifications done/planning to do, etc.

Those are definitely owner installed!

Yes
