Can This New Year Model TCM Revive A Nearly Extinct Species of XJs?

- These older model (87-90) Jeep Cherokee TCMs are basically impossible to find at this given point. Not aware of a company remanufacturing them and used is hard to find. I decided to take a gamble against what people said would work so the older Renix Style Cherokees can stay on the road just a little while longer.
Holy shoot dex, what a website. Thank you for yet another key to the kingdom!
Absolutely some incredible developments. We commend you for your services
Your worth any time I spend on this channel. And I don’t own a Jeep.
This is a huge discovery! And surely will help people long into future... thanks Dex!
I can easily see how this information will help many individuals. It’s a big ole world out there, and some good XJs may get a new life. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Excellent video and information. I have two Renix XJs with an auto and one as a complete spare if I ever needed a TCM. However, you have given me even more resources to keep them running.
I appreciate the help brother!
Thanks for gathering info like this and sharing it with us!
Thank you so much. Man this changes things for a lot of people. Your videos help jeep owners. Thanks keep it up.....
Man that website you showed us is incredible. Immediately saved to my favorites for future use.
Absolutely love your channel… I am a diehard xj guy.. I absolutely love my two 1998s that I have…
this is a pretty cool thing to know. More importantly thanks for the website you shared. I do a lot of work from home for various people but I cant justify spending the 200$ a month on the professional sights like pro-demand anymore. This is a huge help.
The extra wires on the 87-90 TCM are for the comfort mode switch. Would be interesting to know if the newer TCM responds to it and which mode it gets stuck in without the switch.
The newer ones default to power mode
Default is Power, and you can do a Comfort switch bypass to always be in Power.
I think they could until 95 or 96, there's a forum post about it
Love to be early to a dex video. Specially on computer fixes, let's see where we eventually have to back carb 4.0s with 4.2 intakes and use points distributors. Lol, I would watch the crap outta that video
Thats a dang must!! We definitely need these videos!! Im sick if this computer junk...
Its not really hard its just not easy if youre not used to it or have someone walk you thru it.
And a manual trans I'm doing that on my 91 now later model 4.0 intake cut to fit an edelbrock 4 bbl, cheap hei at the moment might swap that for points as it's a bit big
I plan on doing a 4.0 with a 4.2 carb intake, and the new Holley 2bbl system with a turbo in the next year. I'll make sure to do a write up on one of the forums. Doesn't seem like it'll be terribly difficult with a manual Jeep.
Man i know a good deal about cherokees, but goddamn you know your stuff.
And Yet again love yer info !!! Always learning something useful !!!
Glad to hear it!
For whatever it’s worth I’ve bought a couple of things from Dead Jeep and I have nothing but nice things to say about them. Their customer service is lovely and they do a good job of describing the part that’s being listed. I have yet to feel like they’ve been misleading in anything they’ve advertised
This is one of those very specific and random videos that'll be helping people for years. I'd say thank you, but it was of no use to me, and I'm also a giant a hole🇺🇲
😂😂😂
You’re holding all the xjs, no wonder I can’t find one 😂
I bought a 231j from dead jeeps and a front axel for a dana 30. I had a good experience with them. The parts were as described.
You should get together with nickintime he is really good with all the wiring parts of the tcm
DUUUUDE, Nickintime is brilliant. I have his REM+ and the FanController. Just amazing.
He did an amazing job keeping Cruiser54's knowledge alive too(RIP Legend)
@@Tpbmods :OO i didn't knew.... RIP
Been watching here and there for while frist time commenting THANK YOU FOR THE WEBSITE!! Can finely figure out the transmission issue on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee. Or as i call it the heep grand cherokee lol
Those dang 3 way stop signs are ridiculous
Wow awesome information
Great information
I wish I knew about that website two years ago
Should make a video on lift off doors for xj and zj I’m building half doors for a 96 zj and unbolting them all the time is a pain
Good useful information
I got an xj with 6 miles on it new in 1990. Great memories-
My Renix Comanche has the dual TPS. The Fuel injection uses 0-5v and the TCM uses 5-0v.
Quite the Jeep farm you have there. Did you plant them or are they native, wild-grown XJs?
You're doing Gods work!
Saving me money,
Dex JEEP'S.
another idea for a transfer case video - JK NP241 case compatibility and swapping with older jeeps, and also GM transmissions (for "LS" swaps)
I run an '86 ecm in my '84 chevy because converter lockup is sooner and the '86 reports more PID's.
Good info
Usually in my Experience it's always a Shift Solenoid or Solenoids that are bad and not the TCM.
doesn't make sense...when they went from Renix to the HO. the transmission control was moved to the ECM....well that's the line of crap i was fed.....If you need an old TCM, I've got one somewhere in the Garage.
I drive a 89 this was a.lot of help
Pretty sure the extra wires are for the tps. Renix having the tps for engine and tps for auto.
Dex, Justin or any other XJ owner and lover of this tried and true vehicle that has continued to make a reputation for itself. ❤
I need some advice and guidance from my fellow XJ owners and family 😊
I have an early built 97 XJ (build date 02/08/1997) with manual windows and locks. I've thankfully owned this ole guy for the past 5+ years and I absolutely love it and would be lost not having it.
The XJ is factory black and been repainted Black from the previous owner(my favorite color) and my little boy helped me name it "Vader" 😊 He loves Star Wars and Darth Vader. ❤
Now to my question, Since I've owned it all these years, there is a clicking sound in the steering wheel when I turn it a few times.
It has done this the past year or so. I oiled and greased the bushing above the brake pedal and it still does it. Could it be a worn out clock spring? My horn still works fine and I have never had the Airbag light pop up in the dash cluster....
Thx dex im still working on my 96 fire victim..
Using 99 wire harness its coming back out..
I got a dang 98 ram that wiring makes more sense and will work somehow i saw a video on the dodges working on certain jeep setups.. pretty cool cuz i just blew up the dodge 318 dang oil pump quit.. dont know what all flew apart it was a 300 dollar truck..
I got a nice 91 kota v6 i could definitely use that harness but hate to bc that trucks in good shape..
Thanks man.
Need to do some business with you if possible thx for the relays and fuses good stuff !
Ok so rookie mistake I put a 96 transmission in a 98. There's one plug/connector different. Could this work swapping a 96 tcm into the 98 ?
That’s actually a great question that I can’t answer. But I will one day.
Are you referring to the TCM connector? Or connectors on the transmission itself?
Sometimes, if the wire color code is same, and only the plug shape is different, you may be able to just change the plug connector end, swap wires one at a time...
There are tools made to slide in and release the wire end connectors, from plug body. Sometimes , , the right size plastic straw can do the same...
Find the pinout for both and get the correct connector...
good job
Good job dex. I own a 91 93 95. I came up with those work. I was curious with pre HO. Thanks.
Dex is almost @ 100k subscribers everybody share if you can I will share again on some utube groups. Great Info I think it's great when you just do it gets on my nerves people you can do that how you know lol anyway keep it coming. Ps I like just Dex it name
HEY @DeXJ JUST CURIOUS, Where bouts r u located in central Tn. Area???
Bethel Springs TN 38315
Like the video very interesting
I've got a renix had same issue. I've tried 2 tcms that hadn't fixed it. I'm about to part it out if you want those TCMS
You throw a Snap-on redbrick on it yet? Or Go over Cruiser54's Renix List?
Is that a Toyota pickup seat in the Comanche?
Hey I own a 1996 RWD jeep, recently I bought a front differential and a 231 transfer case from a 1988 jeep to make mine a 4x4, do you have a 1996 4x4 transmission for sell? I don’t know if the 1988 transfer case can be use with a 1996 transmission
thanks for sharing
Pimp my Jeep! Dez,I believe it would take off and make you a lot of money I’m just getting started jeepin but 00 wj is close to ready not really if that makes sense in Jeep terminology
Could u explain torque converter lock up like how it works and how to know it’s working
Cherokee heaven is real!
They are interchangeable, im currently running an 01 tcm in a 98 xj, the numbers or color dont need to match, the unit just needs to match and obviously fit where the old one was
01 to 98 isnt Renix to Chrysler. The issue is the Renix/AMC aw4's to Chrysler
@@Tpbmods i know that… my point is if its the same transmission, the control module doesnt need to match identical, you can use them off of different years as long as they have the same transmission, nothing on the tcm has to match in order for it to work, i knew exactly what my man Dex is talking about thanks very much for your concern, i had an example, yes i know it wasn’t exactly what Dex meant, but its very closely related to what Dex was saying, so i put it fourth in case anyone out there was wondering, but yea i know what he meant my dude, thanks anyway
Oh and btw renix to ob2 or vice versa obviously wont work, its not the same computer, it wont be able to read it, its like sticking an xbox game into a playstation, a child coulda told you that wasn’t going to work lol i honestly didnt think that needed to be explained and im sure Dex will figure it out soon enough, but i just wanted to let everyone know that aside from renix which isn’t very common anymore, more obd2 xjs are on the road than renix, if you got a renix xj all i can say is goodluck and have fun, they are a pain compared to the ob2
Does this video apply to ZJs as well or only XJs I've got shift problems in 1st going to 2nd 1997 Grand Cherokee.
GET a bingo Marker from the dollaer store for a dolaar and write the year on each windshlied
I cant stand the " what you should do" guys but... maybe stack and weld steel wheels together to sit the jeeps on so theyre not sitting on the ground. Im in ohio. I could probably sell clean floor pans and rockers.
Do you sell and ship body parts at all, like maybe a hood and liftgate?
Didn’t you say the 96 was the best Jeep?
Lol..
I have a 96..
Love it but it's the basta××d year... its a double whammy..
My 99 with 31s and 3.55 gear drops to fourth at 70 kph I have to let off the gas to let it go
...a row of Comanches! My 90 runs and drives just fine... but... wish list... and 'would be nice' list...
is there a difference between 2wd and 4x4 TCM i heard it doesnt matter 2wd tcm in a 4x4. if you get the time make a video of swapping a aw4 into a 98 gran cherokee
Bump, I also have a 98 grand cherokee 4.0 that will someday need an aw4. Help!
@@HawkeyeMobileAutoRepair i dont have a Grand cherokee but know someone who does and they hate the 42re. lmao i think its the 42re mite be wrong been awhile
@@fredmiller2222 that is the one sir! And I don't personally feel hate for them, however it would be useful to be able to use 93-01 cherokee aw4's only having to swap the tcm without any rewiring after the first time. As opposed to the 42re, which needs a year specific trans, unless your willing to go through and rewire it each time for the new years tcm.
@@HawkeyeMobileAutoRepair the problem we had with swapping 42re was the flywheel had different timing marks. just as the aw4 flywheel was different in the renix era to obd1. im doing an 94 ho swap in my 88 commanche
Tcm between 2/4wd should be the same. Just know which year you need.
Do you have a full set of pearl stone plastic molding? I need everything for the front bumper and the drivers side rear fender flare. 94 country
Would also love a turn signal lever. Do you have any good shape snowflake alloy wheels?
Dex... I'm having an issue. 99 xj. Led headlights. When used for long period the will sometimes not shut off. Is that switch problem? Or do I need upgrade harness?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but are you sure you're shutting the lights off before the car? There's a shutdown timer if you turn off headlight after turning the car off. That system also could be a general issue with getting headlights to shut off
Exalant video im looking for a 93 grand cherokee tcm 4 liter
Have you ever ran a stand alone tcm?
how rare are last body style with manual windows?
One of those country optional stop signs that you can clearly see if something is coming. LMFAO I've seen people do that and if you grew up in the country you know people who never stop at them.
I can probably fix them by recapping the circuit board
i wonder if the power comfort switch does anything with the other tcu
Got me wondering too now.
@@dexjs another video! or at least a short
@@dexjs (L being torque converter lock)
comfort shifts 1, 2, 3, 3L into 4L @40mph
power goes 1,2,3,4,4L @45ish
also noticed a difference between renix tcu green and yellow label
Keep your voice down about charm if that gets taken down I'm screwed, you You can also download a zip of your makeup model that you own to have as a backup.
What is the offset of the wheels on the red xj with the boggers???
how do you test for a bad tcm?
my 90 xj trans doesn't get 2nd or 4th
The m is for Mexico
Hit that like 👍 button 🤪
Is the 87-90 remix ECM for automatic or standard shift
They both work for both, some people say the automatic ecu has a better idle, and the only other difference is the 89/90 ecu has an extra 7 hp from the tune
Dex would a Toyota Tcm work?
Somehow they don’t have electronics at all.
pretty sure i have one on a 1997 or 1998
I need to buy a Comanche
Yes, you do!
89 MJ Owner here, cant agree more
@@Tpbmods I have had two but I was young and I got rid of them now I have a glady Rubi and a zj got rid of my tj rubi for the gladiator
I have a 93 GC that won’t go into overdrive
Any other problems?
42re, shift solenoid
Dex is there a difference in a xj block from 1991 and a 2000?
There is the 2000 is probably not as good of metal but also they did change something minor.. dex definitely knows
@@arak17iv77 great response 😂
@arak17iv77 I have a 1991 wrangler that needs and engine. I was given a 4.0 out of and xj the only big difference I can see is the oil filter.
@@jzawhorodny06 theres definitely a way to do it.
You need a 2000 wire harness and computer.
Did 91 have a carb??
Is that the issue?
Bc youre obviously going to be using a obd2 motor.. u can run it on a obd one but watch dexs video on standalone wiring harness.
I found a real good one ill give you the channel name in a few
@@jzawhorodny06 and beware of the gray key u dont want a skim key rfid protected harness like i bought on accident for my 96 xj they suck.
Know anyone who has any 4x4 ford rangers with a 2.9 in it I need a transmission
😮
I got 2 88 tcm anybody looking
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
Español ples
didn't know you had all those poor comanches sitting out there too 🥲
