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...

This is the best writeup I've found on the GM tilt column. Quite helpful: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/images/d/d6/Jazzman_Steering_Rack_Rebuild.pdf

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...

Pinion is centered but the contact pattern is high. Cut your backlash in 1/2 and roll it again.

Awesome! Thanks :)

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...

The garden variety 0.030" over 4.0 is Hecho en Mexico. I think the strokers are still made in the states...

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: http://www.budgetenginerebuilders.com/

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...

Yes you can swap any of the pre-airbag columns. They are all GM/Saginaw steering columns and the connector pin outs are the same.

comancheclub.com has FSM links and wiring diagrams. There's a Renix one ('90 I think but should work for you)

Pull the center pin and rotate the carrier until the gears walk themselves out. With no pinion shaft installed they'll come right out.

I feel your pain. Here's a pic of my first ATK reman 4.0 engine at 282 miles... I dropped the pan to fix the oil leak that started at mile 8 and found this.

Find a scanner that can read I/M flags (OBD II). In most states with plug-in emissions pre 2000 OBD II vehicles can have up to 2 I/M flags "not ready" where 2000+ are only allowed one. Drive it just enough to where the I/M flags toggle over and you'll be all set. Also check for pending...

Actually the link to the ad is on Comanche Club. One of the guys there is interested. Looks like he's going to buy her...

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this since the For Sale section says XJ items only. I'm selling my 1990 MJ...Craigslist link below. http://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/3512392165.html If I posted in the wrong spot perhaps a moderator can move it...

Maybe you could give this guy a call. Looks like he has 2 spare beds: http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/3101925453.html
