ATK engines that were remanufactured in Mexico are awful! I put a reman 4.0 in my '90 MJ and it coughed up the cam bearings 272 miles later. From a warranty perspective the company was hard to deal with and the parts store ended up running interference.
If you can find a local rebuilder...
I had the flywheel turned when the internal slave went out (back when she was 2WD) and I had to R&R the clutch. I converted her to external slave/4WD about a year later and the flywheel looked good (no hot spots, etc) so I didn't do anything other than hit it with some sandpaper to break the...
I'm having this problem with my '92 4.0 MJ now. It started about 2 months ago. I converted her to 4WD about 2.5 years ago using an external slave AX-15 from a late '94 XJ and a LUK clutch kit. The clutch master is a NOS Lucas I put in when she was 2WD with the internal slave AX-15. At the...

I've been researching the remainder of my 4WD conversion and was reading through the AX-15 manual. When I replaced Maura's input shaft seal and swapped the external bearing retainer I ended up with a leak. The AX-15 manual has a spec for input shaft installation depth but it's essentially...
I'm gathering parts to convert my '92 MJ 4.0HO AX-15 from 2WD to 4WD. I found a 4WD AX-15 out of a '94 XJ (P/N 52108047) but I have no brackets. I have a line on the front axle, transfer case, front driveshaft, linkage, and rear slip yoke out of a '96. The cross-member and trans mount, however...
You are 100% correct on ATK. Got a 4.0 from them for my '90. Lasted 282 miles. What a horror story!
A friend in Cleveland recently got a rebuilt 318 for his Dodge truck from Budget Engine Rebuilders. He seems pretty happy with it:

Saginaw columns all have the same basic design but, as Kastein mentioned, overall length and welded bracketry are different. FYI the Hollander interchange only shows MJ/XJ columns as being interchangeable so I'd imagine overall length and the column to dash mounting bracket is specific to the...
