Well I received my J20 box today. It is the NAPA one for the '80 or newer J series Pickups. The '80+ J10/J20boxes are listed as one #, though the older J series (~'77) did show a difference between J10 and J20 boxes.
I compared the new box to the XJ unit that I pulled out of my Jeep last night. It is the same dimensions on the out side, with the only difference being the fourth bolt attachment site.
I was told that I had to use the '80 or newer box so that the XJ PS lines would still work so that is the one I got.
Because the front cap was the same as the XJ's I acted on a hunch and had them look up the '88 YJ box. Yep, same @#$%@ part #. So now I have a YJ box and more Questions.
Are there any internal differences between the XJ and YJ boxes?
Will the older J20 boxes bolt in to the XJ?
Anyone running the older J20 only series box?
Is there really a problem with the PS hose connections on the older J20 box?
If so, what did you do about the PS hoses?
Thanks,
