GreasemonkeySC Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I found my passenger door is saggy. With some investigating,I found that the inner door is not connected to the outer skin very well. It likely had a for skin replaced at some point, and the body shop didn't take the time to weld enough spots to keep the door ridgid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat1991 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Got started cleaning up the D44. Found a trac-lock inside which is interesting because it doesn't jive with the p/n on the tag. Tag is for a non-LSD. Gears were in good shape. Got a coat of primer on till I can circle back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've scored a lunchbox locker, and very questionable welded spiders before. Forget the tag, what's the actual ratio of the r&p? MJ was basically where I left it in my intro post back in November status wise, aside from some minor electrical junk. It saw daily driving duties since then up until last Friday. Rear brakes locked up something fierce, so it's sat in the driveway all week. I've had new brakes sitting on my work bench for 4 months now, just no real time to get into it. I put a floor jack and stands under it tonight... then lost all motivation and went inside, showered and had beer instead, lol. But that'll be the Sunday morning project I reckon. I've been waiting to payoff and cancel a stupid credit card, which I did today, and I promised myself as a reward I'd source a tailgate, interior lights, and speedo cable for the MJ, so I'll be way more active on here again.

GreasemonkeySC Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I got my AC working a while back. Last week I hop in, flip it over to AC, and sweat my @$$ off. I put 1 can of R134a in the system, and she's I've cold again. Yesterday, bam I'm sweating again. I put 1 can of R134a + Die in it, and it's ice cold. Crazy party of this is that it will be ice cold. Ya drive it again the next day, and it's low enough that it won't cool. No visible leaking, and all new parts (except the evaporator).Guess I need to get batteries for my sniffer, and UV light.

watchamakalit Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yesterday I got the dash all back except for the radio, which is getting replaced. And I got the window tint finished. Pulled the ecm, pretty sure it is the cause of the elusive start and die immediately problem. Ballast resistor and fuel pump relay both checked good. Also ripped out the carpet. Time for a proper floor repair. The temp. pan that I threw in when I first got it has past its life. Gotta start shopping floor pans.

gogmorgo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Code 41 is charging curcuit, nothing to do with map sensor. I've made it go away more than once by cleaning battery terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Code 41 is charging curcuit, nothing to do with map sensor. I've made it go away more than once by cleaning battery terminals. You misunderstand!Tested & Replaced the faulty MAP sensor, cleared code, truck running at idle in my shop, 2 min later I get the check engine again! Now code 41.Just now, battery at 11.7v, alternator only charging at 9.9v, wiggled wiring harness, alternator jumped to 14.4v. Cut off truck.I figure it's a poor connection, clean cable ends on alternator\battery\PDC, start truck, alternator is back to 9.9v, and I can't duplicate the result of the wiggle test.Dropped tools, closed shop, going fishing!I refuse to have a day.

BeaterComanche86 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Changed the valve cover gasket and found out that the Under hood light, and courtesy floor lights I got from a junked 96 xj don’t work on my 86. Didn’t realize the connectors would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ordered a new oil pan + gasket for the '89. Probably going to yank the pan off this weekend to see what carnage awaits. Thought about taking the front bumper and radiator support off of the '91 to paint, but decided not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Replaced the ignition cylinder. The "tabs" broke off from the cylinder a few days ago. Also, I could not turn the cylinder to "ACC" position. I pulled an "new" cylinder from an 87 XJ. I took the key buzzer from the XJ and installed it in to the MJ. Now I will be warned if I leave the keys in the ignition. I know some people don't like the buzzer and remove it. However, after locking my keys inside I don't want to go through that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Interesting. Long ago, I had the magnet hide-a-key. Somewhere in the world, someone has that hide-a-key box with a Jeep key, but no Jeep to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I found the original key to my XJ in the cargo area under the carpet under the spare tire. Spare keys are hidden in some strange places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 my buddy has a door key to his old truck ziptied to the underside somewhere. MJs have 2 separate keys so the door key on the underside would only give the thief the same access as a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
