AW-100

MJ have now been sold, and has been replaced by a 1987 XJ 4.0.

Anyone know the direction of coolant on the pre-87? The 87-> goes water pump-thermostat-upper hose-radiator-lower hose-engine block.

Good point... No collapsing, all new hoses. But if they mounted wrong waterpump ( pushing in stead of pulling ) the waterpump will send coolant in the wrong direction... And with thermostat closed, coolant is pushed out if lid is off... Hmmm...

Yeah, but it does not build enough pressure to get pushed out of the system... The water level is constant in the overflow tank, engine on or of, engine hot or cool. That's why I think maybe a clogged radiator causes the water pump to push coolant out through the neck in stead of down through the radiator with the lid off. Hence also builds pressure. Anyone know the difference btw <-86 and 87-> water pump?

When I start the engine it starts building pressure in the coolant system. But it does not get high enough to push coolant into the overflow canister, unless I open the radiator lid before the pressure has gone down. I have a Brand new radiator lid, so I believe the pressure relief valve is correct. If I run the engine without the radiator lid, coolant is pushed out of the radiator through the open neck. I've changed the cylinder head, and replaced the gasket. Thermostat is new. Engine temp and heater system works fine. No access smoke. Oil is fine, no oil residue in coolant. So I hope that it's not the compression entering the cooling system. Now, this is a 1986 2,5gasoline. But in Norway it has been registered as a 1987. I see that there are different water pumps ->86 and 87-> Could it be that the previous owner fitted a -87 waterpump on the -86 engine, causing too much flow? ( Wrong size belt pulley for example? ) Maby in conjunction with a partly clogged radiator? ( Have not cleaned the system yet, waiting for a new radiator. )

Nice... Have that number noted for my next shipment overseas.

MJ has a 3" Skyjacker, and I saw the end links were kind of strained. Noticed that the 1991-> XJ/MJ had longer end links than my -86, 8,25" vs 7,25" original. Ordered a set of Raybestos 545-1038B, they worked FINE.

Sooo... Y mean drop shackles, as to lower a Chevy truck, will actually lift an MJ? Like... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bel-6403 ?

Is there a difference between steering stabilizers on 4WD and RWD Comanches? Now my local parts dealer can supply me with a Monroe SC2928 stabilizer, but it is listed as for RWD models, and off course mine is 4WD. None of the other stabilizers I have found are specified for 4WD or RWD. Now- Can I use the Monroe damper or do I have to order an other from the US? Then I'll have to pay AT LEAST the value of the damper just for shipping to Europe.

BUT after the flip / CAD fix the 4x4 light won't com on at all. But you have that already... :D

Can I connect some of the plugged vacuum lines at the CAD to get vacuum to the switch again?

This litle blue thingy in the lower corner? -yeah, I do have some wiring to sort out...

My MJ has no 4x4 light. Is it an electrical switch on the transfer, or is it vacuum operated, and where do I find the switch? I believe it to be a 207 transfer, as it is a 1986 2,5 with AX-4 and part time 4x4. The CAD has been welded, and the vacuum lines to the axle has been plugged.

Thanks guys, feel like an idiot here... Pulled the cb for the radio, and all went silent... :) Shoud've asked here half a year ago... :D
