1990 Eliminator

[Old man with MJ]

Saw this one a while back,like some expert opinions. Would a 1990 be an HO, Dana 44 limited -slip with 3.07ratio, Eliminators were not 4X4 until 1991 which was their last year of production? It does have a metal topper,draw-tite receiver hitch and  pretty good paint asking price $4500!

Thanks

1990 was not a High Output.  1990 was the Last year for renix.

3.07 only if it was a 5spd. 3.54 if auto. IIRC The D44 was not standard on the Eliminator. I would verify the D44 and its originality in that truck. Although available in the SWB the 44s are more often seen in the LWB from my observations. I don't think it was available with the 5-spd as that tranny was not part of the towing group that got you a D44 and the ton versions were all LWB. Just from looking at packages I don't see were a SWB 5-spd D44 would fit. 

 

For all intents and purposes the Eliminator package was just an appearance package like almost all of the Jeep's packages prior to the Rubicon. It had no more horsepower or torque than any other Comanche of the year and no special gear ratios. The same performance could be had in any of the 2wd SWB MJ's. If you ever get to run the butt off of a 2wd SWB HO Comanche it can be pretty fun.

I didn't think it is the HO, that was 91&92 right,can I tell by looking at the engine the differences.Was the 4x4 available only 91 and the last year of their production?Just trying to get the facts right before looking and making an offer!

My 1990 Eliminator IS 4wd and equip with a AX-15 5spd Trans and a Dana 44 Trac-Lok rear from the factory. 3.07 gearing  :thumbsup:

 

91-92 got the HO engine as stated.

Still cannot tell from photos attached to e-mail, can't see the whole axle housing(top), has Dana 42960-1 145 9 rec D if that is familiar to anyone.The springs have 3 or 4 leafs,maybe a metric ton and Rancho shocks.

Is the intake boot on the throttle body held on with 3 screws or a clamp? 3 screws is renix.
