i need some help and cant find the answer i need can i use a 98 xjs pcm for my auto to manual swap i scored all the parts i need of a 98 donor vehicle and it comes with a pcm will it work in my 96 there both ob2 if not what do you sugest how can i lie to my current computer to get it to work if the 98 wont work will it fry anything if i plug it in to see if it works or not i really need help fast and cant figure out how to post on here with my own thread
Not a direct swap, 1998 is a different generation. If you want to run the '98 PCM you need to redo a bunch of wiring. Main items that differ in a manual are the fuel system and hoe the cluster works. To be honest I'm not sure they even have the same pinouts or even sensors like CKP.
1996 is unique for almost everything. Might want to just fake the AW4's presence if you want the CEL off.
Or go get the rest of the Jeep. Then you get cupholders!

Only good for pavement, hit the whoops or drop off a ledge and your non-alcoholic beverage is all over the ceiling. I have resorted to containers with screw-on lids. lol

ok i figured i have the other wire harness for the 98 and mine does have cupholders lol but how do it wire it to just lie to my computer to make it not throw codes do i just wire the nss and call it good and live with the code or how do i make it really beleave the aw4 is still there

I'll defer to the wiring masters but I believe you can jumper the harness to make it think the trans is there. Then there is always the bulb...
Hi. I'm new here.
Can anybody help me identify these axles?
Rear diff. Anybody know what type is it?
Front diff.
There on a cherokee 4.0 HO 1997
6" lift
33" Silverstone tyres.
I was looking to put Detroit locker on both of these, but I don't know which one I should buy. Can anyone help me please?

Dana 30 up front, Dana 35 in the back. The D35 is weak and not worth spending on the locker. Spend your money locating a Chrysler 8.25 or less common Dana 44.
Installed some Liquid Iron shackle relocation brackets this weekend and the alignment wasnt exactly perfect on the shackles I suppose and now they're rubbing. Anyone know of a better/different shackle that isnt going to rub?

They're all going to rub. A longer one will give you more travel, but also more lift of course. A lot of people just trim the bracket down once they have their angle set.
