    Here is the '88 electrical factory service manual. This can help you understand and diagnose your MJ's electrical system. Download it to you computer! http://comancheclub.com/topic/12083-electrical-manual/

    Red dye #2. Causes cancer. It was why they stopped making red M&Ms in the 70's. Oh no, wait. Yours doesn't have cancer. I guess they were wrong. "Never mind," said Emily Latella (Gilda Radner, SNL)

    What year is the MJ? I ask because Renix (87 - 90) and HO (91 - 92) have different engine systems. This will help other diaguess (diagnose and guess) the problems.

    4 or 6 cyl? manual or auto? You will want the matching trans/tcase. The front driveshaft from the XJ will fit. The rear drive shaft on the MJ will need to be shortened to allow for the tcase. The XJ drive shaft is to short. As for the year XJ to get, get one that does not have the CAD. I'm not sure which year Jeep discontinued the CAD. 95? 96?

    You'll need to make sure the internal bore of the master matches the internal bore of the slave. If the master bore is bigger than the slave bore, you will blow out the slave. The the master bore is smaller than the slave, you will not get enough movement to fully disengage the clutch. You can purchase a pre-bled master/slave kit from Rockauto (or most auto parts stores). Be sure to ask for the kit for a 93+ XJ. Edit: Do not get the 98+ kits

    For Jeep parts, Rockauto, Morris Jeep4x4center, and Quadratec are good sources for parts. At Rockauto, you can specify MJ parts. For jeep4x4center and Quadratec you have to search for XJ parts. The MJ and XJ are almost identical from the front seats forward. A lot of parts are no longer available, so your best option is junk yards or craigslist for parts vehicle. Welcome to the addiction! :waving:

    Check Rockauto. I looked up a 93 XJ, 2.5 clutch/master/slave assembly. Sachs SPH009 $120, plus shipping.

    What trans do you have - AX15, BA10, AX4/5? Do you have the internal or external slave (later AX15 and AX4/5)? AFAIK the pre bled systems are only for the external slave systems.

    You need to get a full cluster from an 87-90 MJ or XJ. These have the cable speedos. Later HOs have electronic speedos. IDK if the tachs are specific to 4 cyl and 6 cyl. Wiser men then I know for sure. PS: Give us more info on you MJ - engine, trans, 2 or 4 wd, any modifications (axle swap, lifts, etc.)

    I already have the D44 in MJ. The 8.25 is on an XJ that was "free". I don't have the 8.8, nor am I looking to get one. Thx thou

    A 4.0 will most definitely fit in to an 89. As was stated else where, only the 86 will not "easily" fit the 4.0.
  14. 87MJTIM
    4.0 vs. 2.5?
  15. 87MJTIM
    Yes, full engine rebuild. Correction - it was $2000 to $2200. I ended up getting a client to provide the labor. I paid for the parts: $850.
  16. 87MJTIM
    Don't know about your area, but I was quoted about $2200 - $2500 by two shops in MD a few years ago.

    Some people swear by Jasper...others swear at Jasper. What gave out on yours? Is there a machine shop near you? Talk to one of those to get an estimate.

    Go to Morris Jeep 4x4. in the bottom left of the main screen, there is "Jeep Community: Jeep Knowledge Base" Go to the Repair manual section. Search for the model and yr. I got the whole 93 XJ/YJ FSM

    Look at the headliner. Make sure the board is present and not damaged. You can always get it recovered. Look under the truck at the floor boards. Make sure it isn't a Flintstones car. Pull up the carpeting will show surface rust. Is the dash intact? Radio present? has it been hacked up? The rear bumpers are hard find. You can get after market bumpers. Fey makes one that fits and looks the closest to original. Otherwise, you can get custom bumpers. Post pictures when you can. We all like to drool...I mean look.

    BTW I will have an 8.25 (3.55) available, if anyone would like one.
  21. 87MJTIM
    Thanks to everyone. I was leaning toward keeping the D44, but wasn't sure if an 8.25 was worth changing to. Who makes the best R&P and install kits?
  22. 87MJTIM
    So, if I did the swap, would I also have to change the drive shaft?
  23. 87MJTIM
    A client has given to me, through bartering, a 93 XJ, 4.0, 4x4, auto w/ a CAD D30 and an 8.25. Since it is an auto, I assume it is 3.55. My MJ has a factory D44 with 3.07. I am going to do a straight swap up front: my CAD D30 (3.07) for the XJ D30 (3.55). My original plan was to re-gear the D44 to 3.55. I thought the XJ has a D35, but upon looking closer, it is an 8.25. (Oval shape, flat spot on the top and bottom.) Now, I am considering a swap of the D44 for the 8.25. This is what I am confronting: To re-gear: I don't have to remove either axle. I have to get the R&P and have someone install it. I don't have to mess with the brakes. I keep the factory original components. To swap: I have to remove two axles. One axle has to be installed. I have to get the perches and shock mounts relocated. I have to mess with the brakes (Can you say disk conversion?) What to do with the extra axle? My MJ is my DD. I don't any wheeling with it. The most offroad this sees is a dirt road to some property in WV. For my driving habits, why is one axle better than the other? Your thoughts, please.

    If the bore of the master cyl is bigger than the bore on the slave, you are pushing too much fluid in to the slave. A prescription for blow out. Can you check the bore on both to make sure they're equal. It could be more expen$ive, but replace both while you're replacing the $lave.

    Cat clogged?
