Pulls off, but be very careful its plastic and will break very easy. Not hard top replace though

So, I used to have a Dana 35 with abs. I did a chryco 29 spine rear axle swap. I now do not have abs. I've removed a couple fuses to disable the abs pump. My question is, how do I remove the actual abs pump itself? At the moment its just dead weight and also in the way of the cowl intake mod I wanna do. Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you have to get a Master Cylinder/brake booster from a non-abs... not 100% however.

One more quick question for me. What are the other breather points on the bottom of an 01. Meaning, the front diff vents to the engine bay. What about the TC, Xmission, and rear diff. How do those vent?

It's what I used on the 14 I have done.
Got it done, smashed it up pretty good with some bolt cutters and wiggled it out with the vice grips, finally. Plenty of space, just had to undo the strap holding the starter harness to the block. Thanks for the help.

SORRY if I missed it but what kinda high temps are we dealing with?
The first time, according to my sister (she owned it before I did), it redlined while she was out on her lunch break. She forced it down the road anyway and managed to make it to the restaraunt. Stopped ate her lunch, and drove it back to work. It started up, but barely ran she says. She forced it again to keep going. I checked it out in her work parking lot and it looked like all the coolant came out of one of the freeze plugs. Was the only leak I could find. Her friend pulled the freeze plug and installed a temporary one (the one with the rubber that expands when you tighten it). Another friend of hers installed new rad, and hoses.

4 months later I took possession of it and changed out the water pump and t-stat.

Around town it did ok, no issues. Hottest I had seen it was 212. I drove it up north and after a long incline up the mountain it hit about 214 then immedietly jumped to all the way into the red. I pulled over it pucked a bit, but no leaks anywhere. Let it cool off and I was fine the rest of the trip. Had to drive home with heater, but only cause of an accident and slow crawling traffic and I was nervous about it.

Sorry for the long story, but figured I might as well tell as much as I could about it. I got the parts today to replace that freeze plug, flush kit, and new coolant. I figure it couldn't hurt since there was a ton of rust that came out when my sister tried to kill it. Used a bucket to try and keep as much coolant off my garage floor as possible and the bottom of the one gallon bucket had about half an inch of rust and crap in it.

Anyway, again sorry for the long story and Thanks for your help. I don't drive much, but my test drive after the fan and shroud replacement around town it hit 214 again, that was a little over a week ago at about 109 degrees outside.

No problems with the long story at all.

Your sis really put that XJ through the ringer! Sounds like maybe there's an internal engine/head flow restriction. When you drove with the heater on was it blowing hot air. Sounds like your on the right track with the flush. Do the BEST you can but be aware that some of that debris has gotten into your new components and may not come out just by flushing.

GOOD LUCK

So lately I've had to mash the gas to get the XJ to start. I'm having a higher than usual idle, slightly rough too. Occasionally while driving, mostly after a slow down before a turn and I give her gas to make the turn and she stalls on me. Then I pull over and have to mash the gas again, to get her to start and she Idles fine but then stalls again when I put it in gear. I usually have to do this 3 or 4 times before she doesn't stall going into gear. I just replaced the tps. Any ideas??

Get 'em from AZ or napa. $20 after core for mine. I wouldn't trust jy ones. Not for brakes atleast. But if you insist, i suppose calipers from a 94 will fit.

Didn't make the wj in 94. The 94gc is running single piston calipers
