Well this one doesn't have the overhead console, but I have one in my '96.
Still not worth it?

Also, what about the battery tray? I need one, and the 2000 Cherokee has one.

Had a few questions regarding the Dana 30.

Wondering what size nut is on then pinion, upper ball joint and lower.

Scouring the internet had lead to multiple sizes being mentioned.

Dana 30 pinion nut is 1-1/8", upper ball joint 7/8", lower 1-5/16" (or thereabouts). I followed this guide when doing my own: http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/ball...alljoint-1.htm

The hose connecting my coolant recovery tank to my rad is broken. Can I drive like his and just top up, or does this need to be fixed right away?

You're fine. You're not courting imminent disaster. Check the level every few days until you fix it.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Slow down and take a breather and try again.

Are you trying to say that your new 2000 won't shift out of first gear? Check all the fuses.

My head hurts. I can't finish reading it. And OP, posting without punctuation will cause those most likely to help you , to skip right over your post.

WTF. I understood every thing he said. He needs some 91 tranny wiring diagrams...which I don't have.

Now I see it. Had to wake up a couple hours. He's trying to install a 1991 AW4 in a 2000.

There are significant differences between the transmissions. Check out the following from http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1053970:

If you have a 1998-2001 XJ:
  • 1987-1997 AW4s are not going to work without significant machine work. Reason is that your TCU is expecting an input speed sensor signal, but the mounting boss for the ISS is not machined out on the donor transmission housing and the rotor needed is not installed in the geartrain. You will be fully disassembling the donor transmission, doing specialized machining on the housing, swapping some parts from your old transmission, and basically doing a massive amount of work to swap in a non-ideal part. I would not suggest this swap unless you are really, really screwed and don't care that your CEL will be going off and you will have to leave the transmission unplugged from the wiring harness and shift it manually, with no second gear available. This swap is also fine if you are going to be building a trail only rig, don't care about your CEL going off all the time, and will be installing a custom shifter setup. You could also swap in a proper-year manual transmission XJ ECU and install a custom shifter setup to avoid a CEL.
  • 1998-2001 AW4s are bolt in.
  • UPDATE Mar4 2013 - user memasmuffn reports that installing a 1997 TCU (designed to work with the older 1 pulse/rev reed switch output sensor, and no input sensor) in a 98-01 XJ with a 97 and earlier AW4 swapped into it results in no codes! This is great news, any AW4 (2wd vs 4wd, 2.5L 87-90 vs 4.0L all-years, and 2wd 95- vs 2wd 96+ notwithstanding) can be bolted into any XJ/MJ with only minor wire splicing, hard-part/housing/sensor changing, and perhaps TCU swapping at the worst. Awaiting further testing from the field to make sure the code stays gone!
  • UPDATE Jan/Feb 2013 - a thread by Boostwerks shows that it is entirely possible to convert a 97- AW4 into a 98+ one if you're suitably motivated. First bullet point of this section is basically the procedure he used - machined out port for ISS in main trans housing, installed geartrain parts intended for a 98+ in front half of transmission, etc. Not for newbies or those without significant transmission rebuild and machining/fabrication experience.

Hey guys and gals.

I just went on my first drive of the day and I noticed that none of my cluster was working but the mile counter. The check engine light and the air bag light came on. I've tried smacking the dash.(worked before) and still nothing. Any idea what could be causing this ?

98 4.0 xj

All help would be appreciated.

Take the dash apart and makes sure the connections are good. Couple screws. Only about 20 mins of your time
