MJXJjeepguy Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Got replace radaitor, add electric fan, replace temp sender and Oil presaure sender to work with gauge. Flush out old coolant by remove thermostat and lower radiator hose, then put 50/50 antifreeze in and let it run for about 30 mins while coolant burp to make sure no air inside cooling system after 30 mins of running then took a drive for 10 mins without overheat checked oil to be sure no water in oil no white smoke out of exhaust everything seem good with engine. Then took front end off my 98 XJ donor and put on MJ right now it not bolt in it just sit rest.... I like it! Goodbye to the bench seat. Now the worse parts...... I have to be extra EXTRA carefully removing all the plastic panel or I will have hard time find other panel for MJ but everything got out good with no damage.

I’ve heard a couple of names bounced around but non come to mind as a company. My MJ is pretty rotten, although looking from underneath it doesn’t look to bad, I can’t see carpet yet.

Ok got ya, u might want pull carpet out soon than wait too long it might not too bad with little surface to tiny hole then u can just bondo kitty hair to cover the small hole but of course clean rust area till u see bare metal then u can start from there, that will be alot easier to do than remove large of metal sheet and put new metal sheet then weld it up, it take alot of time and patient, if u really want to keep the carpet my best advice is put bedliner on floor pan before put carpet back in to protect from begin rust again.

Yeah I know, I haven’t opened that can of worms yet, but it it is on the horizon. I just haven’t had the time and needed it to be drivable before I moved onto other projects.

agamble Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If you think the load sensing valve is not functioning properly before deleting it try this. On 6/21/2017 at 9:59 PM, HOrnbrod said: I NOW HAVE GREAT REAR BRAKES! Today I broke out the FSM and re-read the load sensing valve (LSV) adjustment procedure - again. Referring to the diagram below, rear brake bias is optimal when the LSV shaft flat (shown by the red line; flat is actually on the splined portion of the shaft) points down at the 6.00 o'clock position while looking at the LSV from the front. The factory adjustment procedure used a wonky 85* adjustment fixture to do the procedure; naturally they are now unobtanium. But in reading the procedure I could see exactly what was happening and how it worked. I pulled the LSV lever partially off the LSV so I could see the shaft flat, and it was pointing at 3:00 o'clock! WTF? I then pulled the lever completely off, and rotated the shaft clockwise 360*. You could feel the pull in the shaft as the LSV internal rotary piston passed across the inlet and outlet fluid ports, then after it passed over the ports, it turned freely with no pull. This is how it regulates the rear brake bias depending on the vehicle load, and if the lever isn't in the correct orientation, the ports are blocked, thus there's no opening for the fluid to pass. Which of course causes weak or no rear braking. I then rotated the valve shaft so it faced at about the 8:00 o'clock position, which simulated a fully loaded MJ and maximum rear braking. Then while keeping the shaft from rotating, slid the lever back on the splined shaft, pressed it on, and tightened it all down. Went for a test drive and slammed on the brakes, and the rears locked right up. Yay! Then I fooled with different lever positions on the splined valve shaft, and the best braking ended up to be when the shaft flat was facing right at the 7:00 o'clock position. Now in a panic stop, the fronts lock up just before the rears - perfect. After about four full pedal stops, all four disks were hotter than the hinges of hell. Whereas before, just the front disks got real hot. I'm happy now - no ZJ proportioning valve and re-routing of the brake lines is now required. :) At least for now. Does this make sense to y'all? Unfortunately, the 91-92 LSV's are different than the older ones as there's no flat on the splined arm of the 90 and below LSV's. And the older LSV's use a completely different adjustment procedure and adjustment fixture, even wonkier than the HO's do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great information! Now I will see if my still functioning. If not will it be ok to delete? Will it affect MJ with heavy load like atv mostly will use trailer to haul atv.

RangerDB Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I bypassed mine and haul an ATV regularily. The little rod that operates the valve fell of somewhere. I don't notice a difference but now I'm wondering if it was working right before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
