Video

correct. I did not post links. the videos are on my channel Yesterday's project

sorry i don't think i could find it again. i was just hoping trail to trail for hours that day. it was near south range

@@yesterdaysproject6106 yea. We watched the video and track the general area you would be at.. we are going up there next week for trails

Glad it helped

I used a knockoff crab i got off eBay it worked great.

i just measured the line that came in the kit and got a valve to match at the hardware store. I think it was 1/2 or 3/8 barb fittings on the valve

it is for a 4.7 WJ 2003-2004 it can be identified by the hydraulic cooling fan. I have not found a source to order them new so ive got them from the junkyard

@@yesterdaysproject6106 Thank you. Did you happen to measure the difference in the hole sizes of the XJ vs WJ relief valves? I'm sure you know that a lot of people just drill the XK pressure relief valve a little larger. You mentioned the springs felt different between the two, but I wonder if the hole all is really needed to be done? Or, at least give a little more of a bump but not as good as larger hole and WJ spring?

thanks this was a easy swap to put a WJ re-leaf valve in a stock XJ pump and fitting. when i originally ran the WJ pump i had some issues with to much pressure on the return line because i drilled out the XJ fitting plus all the adapters to make it work so this led me down the rabbit hole.

@@yesterdaysproject6106 have some not so good news. I swapped out the XJ valve with the WJ valve, and now I'm loosing power steering at low rpm, at or below 2000. I did some research on troubleshooting and did two things: 1. Pulled the WJ valve back out and blew compressor air through the port to make sure there wasn't any blockage, 2. Flushed & bled the entire system with new fluid. The loss of power steering is still happening at low rpm. I guess at this point, the only thing I can conclude is that the age of my pump is playing a role in this result, i.e. just a weaker pump due to its age. As far as know, this is an original PS pump in my 1998. Other than that I'm about ready to put the XJ valve back. Any additional ideas?

as you increase pressure so does heat. I would for sure recommend a cooler. a cooler would really help a stock pump as well. many people start to have steering fadewhen off road because they boil the fluid

sorry. we were driving all over. this trail was near south range in Da U.P.

First i attempted to use stock clam shell mounts but the XJ frame is to narrow. I ended up using NOVAK mounts it was an easy bolt in kit. I used some cheep Block huger headers and everything really fit nice. If i were to do this again i would just go LS. here is a link. www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/engine-mounts/mmxj3

@@yesterdaysproject6106 gotcha I will definitely be getting those

I had one. Mine was a 1993. It was a good snowmobile. Now I have a IQ. Shift 550. But I want to Sell it. For $ 6000

thanks for watching, I do what i can to keep the old machines on the trail.

Toe in causes them to be darty with slight steering adjustment. I'd agree with him. Especially when he threw out the good enough to get it to an alignment shop part.

You can do it!

it should be stamped with the pressure it is set to go off at. possibly yours is faulty or something is caught in it holding it open. i was running around 100PSI

Thank you for viewing. Could you be more specific what your looking for? Diagram information, or wire routing? This is a jeep Comanche with a complete drive-train from a 1998 Cherokee XJ. Be sure to check the other videos on my channel. I have 4 video uploads that reference wiring required for this swap. I have a walk around where i discuss the build and the Harness swap. I also have a video for the fuel system discussing the gauge and fuel pump wiring. I also have a video discussing connecting the 98 XJ harness to the 88 Mj for tail light operation. I also have a video on the dash swap where i briefly discuss the harnesses.

Its Just a complete stock 1998 XJ harness with a few modifications this discusses merging of harness czcams.com/video/YQngzD7JKeM/video.htmlsi=5UyLWjcH1QkvcdCD

⁠​⁠@@yesterdaysproject6106 gotcha thanks for that video somehow I missed that one. Yeah I was primarily interested in the modifications you made to the body harness. Did you have to modify for the interior lights as well? I’ll go back and rewatch your videos. I watched your videos after essentially cooking up the same plan except with my old 96 that I wrecked. I will have to modify the fuel system differently than you did but the principle will be the same.

Yep

Correct before i started i went to a local shop and had them evacuate the A/C system. when i was was finished i took it back and had the re-charge the system they charged me about $70.

Thanks 👍

it was up near the Keweenaw Peninsula.

@@yesterdaysproject6106 gotta gps pin? We do alot of trails up there and would love to check this one out!

its near south range. I don't remember how we got there. thanks for watching.

Thanks 👍

i ended up pulling this engine. I never got the cooling right, i was using a square radiator from speedway. I could idle around all day or drive under 50mph and it would run nice and cool under180 with using a 180 t-stat. however on the highway for any time it would immediately run 230 and up. I played with some air deflectors underneath and it helped. all i could figure was at speed there was 2 much air pressure in the engine bay. note the additional temp gauge i had on the dash as i tried to figure it out.

@@yesterdaysproject6106 ahhh. See I put a TJ hood Louvre on mine and 3 1/2 washers under the hood hinges I'm running a 570 Holley on a 350

nothing is for sale. Vid is for informational purpose.

What size is the special tool

The plastic one

the body line on the fenders between 88 and 98 are different. hood is the same. if you put a 98 front on a 88 the electrical connectors are different. thanks for watching

@@yesterdaysproject6106 OK, got it, thanks... Looks like in addition to the very front end, I would need 'newer' fenders as well, so the body lines match... And the swapped out connectors are not hard for me to do ... Thanks 🤠 Yee-haw !

the bag and tag method works well. put the fasteners in a bag and tape it to the part they belong to.also take pictures as you go. its not a quick job, best of luck to you.
