First post, and I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, but here we go!
So I picked up a '91 Laredo for a good price, but it's got the crap Bendix 9 ABS system, and to no one's surprise, it's shot. The pump motor runs constantly, and I have virtually no brakes, just a rock hard, vibrating pedal. So I want to do the 96 booster/MC swap, after reading about how simple the swap is, not to mention the dual diaphragm booster.
I'm sure this has been covered in a thread or 5 hasta, but after a couple of days on several XJ forums there's still a couple things that aren't quite clear.
- Do I just need the MC and booster from a 96? I was going to buy the MC new, and the booster used. Is this okay? Can I reuse my prop valve?
- Do I NEED the pedal assembly from a 96? Or can I modify my pedal pretty easily?
I already read the writeups about swapping in a WJ setup, and read the "Removing OEM ABS" tech article, just wanted someone who's done this swap to chime in.
Thanks! Looking forward to hanging around here!
