power steering pumps and more...

[blue monday]

what years of pumps will fit on a 1988 with a 4.0l motor?

What auto trans was used in the 1988 with the 4.0l?

Was the dip stick tube for the trans in 2 pieces with a hose or has this been modified by someone?

one more, the wipers go real slow is this the motor or some hidden part I am unaware of?

This is my first MJ and I'm starting to regret it already. The best part, it's a rust free truck and if it doesn't straighten up it's act, I'll sell it!

I read this board all the time and I see some of the best answers. You folks really care and try to help. that is rare. Thank all of you and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

what years of pumps will fit on a 1988 with a 4.0l motor? I know '88 to '90 are the same (probably '87 to at least 96?? some one please chime in)

What auto trans was used in the 1988 with the 4.0l? in '89 it was AW4, maybe the same in '88?

Was the dip stick tube for the trans in 2 pieces with a hose or has this been modified by someone? All were a one piece metal tube which inserted into the block.

one more, the wipers go real slow is this the motor or some hidden part I am unaware of? Mine are slow on the '88 also, my guess is the motor.

This is my first MJ and I'm starting to regret it already. The best part, it's a rust free truck and if it doesn't straighten up it's act, I'll sell it! If it's rust free just put some effort into fixing it, it's actually very simple.

I know '88 to '90 are the same (probably '87 to at least 96?? some one please chime in) THE PUMP ITSELF WAS THE SAME FOR ALL YEARS, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PRESSURE OUTPUTS, BUT WILL WORK. THE DIFFERENCES WERE IN THE INLET/OUTLET RESERVOIR NIPPLE ANGLES. I USED A 2004 WRANGLER PUMP ASSEMBLY ON MY 91 - WORKED FINE.

Was the dip stick tube for the trans in 2 pieces with a hose or has this been modified by someone? All were a one piece metal tube which inserted into the block. THEY WERE 2-PIECE WITH AN O-RING SLIP JOINT.

one more, the wipers go real slow is this the motor or some hidden part I am unaware of? Mine are slow on the '88 also, my guess is the motor. OR MAYBE THE ARM BUSHINGS NEED TO BE LUBED/REPLACED.

This is my first MJ and I'm starting to regret it already. The best part, it's a rust free truck and if it doesn't straighten up it's act, I'll sell it! If it's rust free just put some effort into fixing it, it's actually very simple. FOR SURE AGREE!

You're whining about minor problems. If you regret getting an MJ because of this, maybe you're not worthy. These are old trucks and need care. We'll help, but if you don't want to try, don't waste our time mate. The results you achieve are well worth the effort. :cheers:

As aid before, AW4. What's wrong with it?

Was modified because it either it rusted through, or more likely broke from someone not being careful removing the transmission pan.

Wipers on mine are slow also on a dry windshield. In the rain when there is less resistance on a wet windshield they go normal speed.

another possible cause of slow wipers is corrosion in the wire harness. might be as simple as cleaning up the connections. :thumbsup:

[ratrapp]

as hornbrod stated,they are a factory two piece a/t trans tube on the aw4.also if your making a bad connection at the wiper module under the steering column it will cause a slow wipe.

I want to thank all who replied. It did help. I also had a talk with the Comanche and it agreed to behave and I agreed not to bring in the hammer mill. Peace has settled in on the reservation. For now.
