Just want to hear a little input about the cheerokee.
I have 5 point stars all over my 88. Chrysler door badge. The keys do say American Motors just like my 85. The vac diagram says chrysler on it. Now a lot of the wiring says AMC on it behind the dash. Hell the power window control says Ford on both my 85 and 88 lol.88XJSport said:I cant wait to see what 5-90 has to say...Ill probably agree with most of it. And since i have a renix (amc) and 1985XJLaredo is the only person i have heard of with a Chrysler 88XJ?? Mine is riddled with the AMC logo everywhere, engine bay, door sticker, glove box, even the keys!! 1985XJLaredo, i believe you have two AMC's!!!

I consider the 88 a Chrysler because Chrysler finished buying the majority share of AMC from Renault in mid August of 87, I see Chrysler stuff all over it, the V.I.N. # is actually a Chrysler number not an AMC number, and when I contact Chrysler they can give me all of the info on it. IE part numbers, previous owners, build sheets, and recall info.
Most of the stuff that I see on mine that says AMC has to do with the engine controls.
I found a site on some of the sensors and controls: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Engine/Basic_Sensors_Diagnostics.htm
My 90 also has chrysler all over it. So in 90 the parts were still AMC but just badged as Chrysler? Interestingjeepnuts311 said:yeah, in 88 they were owned by chrysler, but all the parts were still AMC. chyrsler didnt redesign anything until 1991 with the HO engine. i have a 89 that still says AMC all over it, and a 90 thats exactly the same and says chrysler on the majority of it.

TRUE! Most people don't know the ZJ is mostly AMC's work. Chrysler just "introduced it." They started work on it right after they introduced the XJ in late 83.Zoro said:I read somewhere that AMC was responsible for over 95% of the ZJ which actually began the design phase in 1985.
Kinda makes me wonder how long the XJ was in the design phase88XJSport said:TRUE! Most people don't know the ZJ is mostly AMC's work. Chrysler just "introduced it." They started work on it right after they introduced the XJ in late 83.
