It sounds like the transition I am looking at should work then. The background here is that I have a mint 1990 with an automatic transmission and my brother has a rusted out 1993 with a manual. It sounds like I can just move all of the parts from the '93 to the '90 and then figure out how to...

So if we use all of the components from the '93 (pedal assembly, master cylinder, lines, flywheel, clutch, trans, transfer case and driveshafts) it should work? I don't recall if there is a clutch safety switch on the '93 but if necessary, I could fab something up to make sure the cruise...

I haven't been able to find any threads that address my specific question so I am hoping someone with experience might chime in. What changed between the 1990 and 1993 model years that might make it impossible/impractical to install a 5 speed manual transmission from a 1993 Cherokee into a 1990...

The dipstick location is a convenient ground but as long as your ground is tied into the engine you should be fine.

I did do the Greg Smith door lock relay but changed the factory doorlock controller out for a Bulldog aftermarket unit. The windows are a similar problem. The biggest issue seems to be that the ground isn't strong enough so what I did for all 4 doors was to install 2 weather proof relays. I...

My '90 XJ Laredo just crossed the 200K mark and I felt that this event deserved some recognition. - Original 4.0L engine and trans. Still has great compression, doesn't burn or leak oil and runs perfectly Over the years, I have been slowly restoring/upgrading it including: - New...

IIRC, on my '90, the ground for the rear (fuel pump and lights) is located behind the drivers side rear panel, behind the spare tire mount. Could it be the same on the '87?

To add to this, NOTHING I have seen in my 1990XJ is digital. Every circuit I have worked on or repaired is an analog circuit. Analog circuits work very differently than digital circuits and expect specific conditions to be present. If they are not (like perhaps, not being able to detect a...

are any of your bulbs LED? As strange as this might sound, LED lights work radically differently than incandescent bulbs and can cause issues. For example, I replaced all my bulbs with LED on my '90xj and suddenly found that the cruise control wouldn't work. Turns out, the cruise controller...

A Look At What Made Jeep's 4.0L Engine So Great (msn.com)

Update: 12/18/23 - This item is no longer available. I was in a rush and screwed up. I have a 4 door but accidentally ordered a set of new beltline moldings for a 2 door. The pair was only ~$20 and it would probably cost more to ship it back than it is worth so I am offering this set for...

I searched for pictures on the forum but can't seem to find what I need. The "fresh-air" blend door on my '90XJ seems to have broken. Temps have been close to the 100 mark in Houston so I really want good AC. I pulled the fan out to inspect the blend door and found that one of the plastic...

The electric market is still too new to dramatically affect the tax base but what everyone seems to be missing is that the roads we drive on are primarily funded by the tax on gasoline. When the ratio of electric:gas turns, there is going to be a massive problem and I doubt that most "electric...

I used the following Delphi pump from Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/DFP-HP10147 Your title requests pumps for 87-93. This one only lists up to 1990 so I am not sure if it will work but I will state that while it works great, it is a little noisy so I would probably try...

All of my XJ's have been earlier model years ('90/'93) but I have been working on a '2003 Chevy S10 recently and am finding that if I disconnect the battery for too long (while working on the vehicle), it not only loses its emission counters but also loses its adaptations for throttle. In fact...
