4.0 High Output PS Bracket

Looking for this doo-dad.

 

 

 

 

 

Power steering pump is starting to make some grumpy noises, and I don't want to the on the receiving end of when this thing implodes on itself. Does anyone have a diagram of this thing by chance? Not sure how exactly it all goes together, as I'm trying to get the hang of the 4.0.

 

Would like to get the same style of bracket it possible. Shipping is to the 32757 area.

I did some spring cleaning last week and threw out all the 91 power steering brackets and pump I had left over from the 01 intake manifold swap. The 91 stuff had been sitting around for about three years so I tossed it. Isn't that always the rule that as soon as you toss something, someone will need it.............

If you can't get your hands on one from somebody here before Monday, I will grab one from the pick and pull local to me.  There are no less than 17 XJ's on file in their two yards right now, so I am pretty confident of being able to get you one.  The bracket should run about $15, cover that and shipping and we'll call it good.

Same here, just threw out 2 sets earlier this year.

 

If you have ever considered switching your intake for the 1999+ type, you also need to use the matching P/S pump bracket, so now might be the time to do it.  The manifold itself is usually around $25-$40 and then all you need is a belt and gasket.  Aaaand if you are doing this much, might as well replace the cracked exhaust manifold with the aftermarket type that are less prone to cracking (if the stocker is not already cracked, it will). 

 

I've done this, plus replacing the valve cover with the later stamped steel type that uses a screw in oil fill cap and leak-proof blue felpro gasket and replacing the stock injectors with the 4 hole design on all three of my 4.0 HO engines.

 

I know this is a lot more involved than a simple bracket replacement, but if it is in future plans, now might be the time....

 

Wanted to add that in addition to some added horsepower the manifold swap provides, the newer PS bracket is a lot simpler, which in turn makes belt tension adjustment MUCH easier than the early HO setup.

A common thing I've seen on early HO motors with the fuel regulator on the fuel rail is dry rot and cracking of the rubber elbow that attaches the vacuum line to the fuel regulator.  A simple solution is the cut the plastic vacuum line just in front of the elbow, and add a short section of appropriate size vacuum hose to replace the elbow.  Cutting the plastic line further from the elbow allows for a nice, gradual bend in the added rubber vacuum hose.  Some planning/visualization before making the cut is easy to do. 

 

I suppose a replacement elbow is probably available somewhere, but for me the hose was on the shelf.

 

I mention this because of your pics #1 and #3.

 

And in the upper right corner of pic #2, I am assuming you know there should be a bolt in that hole.  If you go with a simple bracket replacement, getting the bolts with replacement bracket would be a good idea.  Usually they won't charge extra for that at the pic-n-pull.

I have one I'd go $20 shipped on.

 

Alternatively, I have a 96+ manifold and ps bracket that would give you the new belt routing and tensioning if you'd rather go that route. I'd let the manifold go for shipping cost and charge $20 on the bracket (it would fit in the same box). Let me know if interested.

 

Thanks,

Collin

Thanks for the solid advice. The only thing I can really afford at the moment is the bracket, but I'll keep all this in mind down the road when my finances stablize. :cheers:

Sorry to everyone who's replied to this thread with offers. Been busy the last month trying to move, and taking care of my father after he got out of the hospital. I've got some catching up to do, and I'll get around to messaging those who've sent me messages as soon as I get some free time.  :oops:

My offer still stands.  I'm fairly sure most of those Cherokee's that I saw are still there, or new ones have taken their place.  I plan on going again this Sunday just to scout around for goodies.
