Harley Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Anybody know where to find that line? I read a few posts that say Napa but when I search for one nothing comes up and when I call the local store they say nothing is available for it.

HOrnbrod Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Dealer still shows it available: 1986 - JEEP - CHEROKEE CLUTCH / HYDRAULIC SYSTEM / HYDRAULIC SYSTEM / HYDRAULIC LINE 53004247 - HYDRAULIC LINES HOSE TO SLAVE CYL; 2.5L, $34.59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I try to avoid dealerships as they have such a high markup but that price is the norm for a Hydraulic line. Every once in a while they are reasonable but not too often. Usually the sop for dealerships is drop your pants, bend over and walk in backwards. Thanks for the info.

HOrnbrod Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yes, but sometimes they do pleasantly surprise you. Plus it's an OEM part. I always check the dealer price first to avoid the mostly cheap "offshore" junk that's retailed now....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Oh I agree with ya about that offshore junk. Recently I had clutch issues and I went to Oreillys for a master and slave. Not to save money but because they were the only ones in town that had em in stock. Well lets just say after installing and returning 4 masters AND 4 slaves I will never again buy any parts from them. That was the biggest pain in the @$$ ive ever dealt with.

xjrev10 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I made one out of brake line. Took a 3 foot chunk of the corrected size line, 1/4" IIRC, and ran it down to the slave from the master. I put a few curly Qs in it. works mint. About 7 bucks invested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I am pretty sure it should be the same clutch line as an 87 so check for that and I know Rock auto has them available from 87+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a few curly Qs in it. works mint. About 7 bucks invested. Until it breaks. :/ Great idea for temporary use; really is...but I again stress the rubber hose portion is there 'for a reason'.

It needs that flex for the pressure and for the engine/trans movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know... I did not have a chance to look up the Parts sheet however the Mopar Parts Listing says the Line is Shared from 84-88 so I am sure it is close enough to make work...

What the difference in your brake lines themselves? Look at a truck with a real frame. (nothing dirogitory (?) here obviously), they run brake lines off the master which is mounted to the body, to a prop valve mounted on the frame. Now go wheeling in that truck, specially if its a ford, watch how much the body moves around. I know the engine and trans move around quite a bit, but I cannot imagine enough to stress the line that much to see it fail. Guess Ill find out! My local auto parts store could not get a line, and usually if they cannot get it, it can't be got. But now I see, maybe I shoulda checked the computer. :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just an educated(retard) guess; but I 'have' seen them break several times when I used to work in a Jeep shop. It's a temporary fix in my eyes. I'd order one online, I'm just trying to save you the hassle of a bad occurance one day, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Thanks I looked it up after Pete Mentioned that the 86 was External Slave But I also said that it will be alot easier to make the 87 line work rather then Having nothing at all When I actually Look up that Number MOPAR Used it from 84-88 so it is out there for Other MOPAR vehicles as well... And this #53004247 is available Here: MOPAR lists one US dealer that has this Line in stock so if you go into your local dealer they can order it in from this dealer LAYTON HILLS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP LAYTON UT USA Phone: (801)-544-5800 / (800)-944-3133 Online you can still find the line Here: http://oemmoparonline.com/catalog/produ ... s_id=48361 http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/pro ... 04247.html http://www.parts.com/parts/1986/JEEP/CH ...

Harley Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah for the main line. I'm talking about the CROSSOVER line. it's #29 in the exploded pic. $67.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this on my plow truck which never will leave the yard. But still, with good motor mounts I still cannot see how the engine/trans would flex more then a body. Horse a piece. When it fails I will find this thread and thank you for warning me! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
