neohic Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wow. My heart sank when I saw this. If it were me, I think I’d sit on it for a bit and see what kind of donor comes along. Think about the power it made and decide if you’re happy with it. If it was adequate, then that opens up the donor list a little more. If you want more, then I wouldn’t turn down a good 4.0 if one were to wander into your path. Good luck. Keep your chin up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its pretty emotional. But it is not a total loss so that's a good thing. But I am taking a few weeks break to clear my head and really think about what I want to do. The 2.5 was great except foe getting up to highway speeds I wouldn't mind staying with a 2.5 (especially if I can do some engine work to it) unless a 4.0 swap comes cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Don't get discouraged . I have most (if not all ) of a couple 2.5 MJ harnesses that came from an 89 , welcome to them if you pay shipping. I too bought a fire roasted MJ that I believe had way more damage than yours , here are a couple pics for inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am away at school right now and the truck is at my hometown. When I go on break for thanksgiving and Christmas I plan on working on the truck and trying to get it running again. I started to pull the harness but I didn't get a chance to finish as I had to leave. So I am planning on getting all that taken care of when I get the chance.

87Chief Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Save some money, buy a donor Cherokee with a 4.0L and get that thing back on the road! Glad you're ok! Just found your youtube channel too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 MJ ownership is an adventure. Mine sat for a few years with nothing more then sitting in it and pondering what itll be like when rolling again. Let it sit itll be there when ready to tinker on it again. don't let the flames consume your love for the MJ. Break it, fix it, repeat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Well Not much of an update, but I got the old harness removed from the jeep. I am in the process of cleaning the engine bay as best as I can, I also have a "New-to-me" 2.5 harness. I am going through the new harness and double checking connects and splices. I removed the CD01 connector already I will see what else I can do to the harness to make it the best possible. Electrical work and rewrapping the harness is definitely something else lol. Will get some pics up soon. Happy Thanksgiving by the way comanche peoples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have part numbers for the GMs. Probably looking at the S10 would help. I have one of each left. You can have them. I will have to fight with them to get them off.
