    "Part Time" Light

    My 92 has the auto/231 combo and I have the same problem. I ripped apart the dash and swapped the bulb and the part-time light still doesn't work. If the earlier axles only had vacuum lines, how would the light be activated?

    Any advice on Niagara Falls trip?

    Our "new" casino just opened in early June ... nice to see, BAD for the wallet! :laugh: How long are you staying? You can drive either way along the Niagara Parkway, towards Buffalo is about 20 odd minutes or the other way towards Niagara-on-th-Lake (NOTL). There is more to see and do towards...

    Any XM radio or Sirius satellite users here?

    Try visiting http://www.gm.com/beyond_automotive/xmradio/ I work inside a GM site so I hope this is accessible to people "on the outside". You can listen to streams from there. :greensmok

    Newbie 4wd questions (long)

    Great advice! Thanks! :cheers: I am going Monday to check it out with a buddy of mine who has an old CJ. He is way more mechanically inclined that I am and knows stuff about Jeeps in general. Aldo

    Newbie 4wd questions (long)

    Hey all ... my disclaimer is that many of you will :rolleyes: with my questions so please bear with me. I've never had/owned a 4wd vehicle. I've given up on this 2wd MJ and looked at a 90 XJ. It is a totally basic model, no power anything, etc. It is a 5 speed with over 286 000km (178l...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    Thanks Eagle! I will keep plugging away at this guy and see what happens. I did find a couple of 4x4 MJs in Ontario but they are a good 5-6 hours away from home -- I don't really have the time to make a trip to check them out. I am going to look at an 87 Cherokee Limited this aft. It needs a...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    Well ... the MJ guy isn't sure about what to do so I'm waiting to hear back ... The Ford isn't what I'm really after. Since there are lots more XJs than MJs around, I might start looking at some. I could always throw stuff in the back and line the inside with plastic ... Can you fit a couch...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    Well ... I had a closer look at the truck. He doesn't want to go for a test ride because it's not plated or insured anymore so I'm SOL on that front. The paintjob appears OK (definitely not the best) and not very bondo appears to have been used. I'm going to see if he will certify it for me at...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    This 89 has been repainted and had the body restored. We'll see tomorrow with the magnet whether it was done right or with lotsa cheese! :twak: I found another guy in the paper yesterday not far from here who is parting an 89 4x4 MJ! He's asking $400 for the 5 speed and transfer case and $200...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    I'm located in southern Ontario (not far from Buffalo, NY). 4x4 Comanches seem to be rarer than hen's teeth in these parts. Cherokee's are all over but I'm more in the need for a pickup. This will be my daily driver so hopefully I'll happen along one soon because my car will be going to sleep...

    Advise on used 89 MJ

    I'm looking at getting an 89 MJ. I'm trading in my car since I need more room to haul stuff since we bought a house. It's only 2wd and a 5 speed. It has about 240 000km (150k miles for you Americans). It has been repainted but I couldn't really check out the quality since it was getting dark...

    ticking noise?

    :eek: Holy cow! This is my first post but I feel bad for this guy after going through all that and then this happening to him! I'm anxiously awaiting some pics or a reply from him! I just had to register and sign on to add that! :angel: Aldo
