MenhoMJ

i don't know for sure if its the same thing but i use a 95 engine from a YJ to replace my 89 oily engine, i use the intake, exhaust, distribuitor, alternator, a/c compresor from the 89 and water pump, steering pump from the 95, made some brakets for the pwr steering pump cause the 95 mount to the intake, didnt change the flywheel, maybe thats why my truck doesnt start :???: , but i can say "my engine is mexican custom" :D , hope this help

sorry for late responding, i want a 242 tc because i love that option in my 90 xj laredo, i had a 231 in my 95 xj country and i didnt like it very much, so i will be searching for a 242 make my own shifter linkage, thanks for the links, now i have an idea :D as for the motor i already install the 95 but i realize that my "original" engine wasnt that original, it was custom fit everything :mad: , but hey at least it will work (i hope :dunno: ) i think i need to do my project thread cause i think I'm progres in my mj , can i post pics from facebook, right? I'm leaving the ax4 due to the search of my transfer case and the custom rear drive shaft (i don't wanna cut it with the measures of the 231 an then realize it doesent fit with the 242) about the gears, an automatic 4 cyl yj, tj, xj or mj will have 4.10 gears, right? i need the complete front diferential, but in the rear, if i don't wanna change the complete diferential, can i just swap everything from inside the diferential? :hmm:

thanks Blue88Comanche, yes i have an ax5, i will look for the 242, but i gonna need the shifter linkage pictures and measures to do it myself (if anyone can post it please) cause ax5/4x4 combo is very rare where i live... and what is a CAD or how it looks like so i can find a good diferential? IIRC a cherokee laredo (with towing package) should have 3.73 or so gears, right? those gears sould work good enough for me isnt it? cause there is a 89 laredo and i wanna take off the transfer (242), diferential (CAD?) and some interior parts (cluster, switches, etc), and if it will work with my setup maybe ill end up buyin the entire XJ

hi everyone, i just got a complete drivetrain (4 cyl motor w/accessories, 5 speed trans w/clutch, 231 transfer, even the radiator) from a 95 wrangler (with 87k miles on it) for 350 plus 50 bucks for the importation fees (i live in mexico :fs1: )... so, the point is, I'm tryin to put it in my 89 sportruck (4 cyl, ax4, 2wd) i know i need to change intake, accessories bracket and some other stuff so here comes the questions... 1st to my knowledge the trans will fit my trans tunnel, right? 2nd i wanna mate the trans to a 242 transfer, it is doable, right? 3rd if the 2nd answer is yes, which year I'm looking for? 4th which year for the front differential and drive shaft you recommend? trying to put 3 inch pucks in front and chevy shackles and some 31, it will be my DD/work truck (some highway most city drive and minimal off road :fs1: for lack of time) 5th which gears you recommend for the 4 banger and 31`s? i know you can throw me some advice on what I'm tryin to do, so do it please :help: sorry if i mistyped something :dunce:

of course i forgot to mention its a renix laredo (87-90 not sure wich exactly) the question is, the six gauge cluster work fine with my 4 cyl (rpms, speed, temp, gas, oil pres at least i think volts will work fine :D)? thanks for the welcome

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums but no new to jeeps, i bought my first MJ this week, its a 1989 comanche sportruck 4 cil 5 spd rwd with a/c :D , unfortunately it doesnt have cigar lighter, clock, or any kind of switches (fog, cargo, trans, etc) but does have wiring arnes, so i was thinking if i buy a cherokee laredo (very well equiped) could i just plug everything mentioned above, courtesy lights, even gauge cluster (six gauges instead of idiot lights)? thanks in advice p.d. sorry for my writing don't practice my english often :D
