: Info on a 1984 Jeep cheroke chief jeepinit 03-19-2002, 01:00 PM I was wondering if anyone knew what the running gear is on a 1984 cheroke chief. I can pick one up for $300 but the engine is blown. I was thinking of stripping it for its running gear but I don't know what came stock on them. hy_desert_4wheeler 03-19-2002, 03:48 PM It should have a D44 front axle AMC 20 rear axle the T-case could be either a NP229(selectrac) or a NP208 The tranny should be the A727.. wsuxjer 03-19-2002, 04:11 PM XJ or FSJ? I'm think in 84, it would be an XJ, so it would have the 2.8 V6 or 2.5 4cyl. D30 front, D35 rear, 207 t-case. Is it AT or MT? hy_desert_4wheeler 03-19-2002, 08:57 PM He said Cheerokee chief which would be a FSJ CJ5-Man 03-19-2002, 09:28 PM cherokee chief was a package on XJ's too. if its 84 its XJ hy_desert_4wheeler 03-20-2002, 06:04 AM Originally posted by CJ5-man cherokee chief was a package on XJ's too. if its 84 its XJ Ok thanks I didnt know they made an XJ chief.. If it is the XJ I would pass on it.. jeepinit 03-20-2002, 07:20 AM All that I know about it so far is that it has the six cylinder engine and an automatic trans. mtndewmaniac 03-20-2002, 10:12 PM If indeed you have the midsized XJ model, then the engine is a GM make, 2.8L V6. Auto tranny most likely the chrysler 904(30/32RH I believe), has the unique Chevy 4/V6 bolt pattern. Transfer case, if it's a selec-trac will be the NP229, if not then maybe NP207, NP228, (I believe the NP231 & NP242 didn't come till later) There is a Silver/Red tag on the backside of the T-case. May have to remove some sludge, but it's just above the speedo-cable. Front axle is a D30 reverse cut, selec-trac models use the vacuum/shaft-disconnect. Rear axle is a D35, not C-clip until @ 88-89 I believe. Hope this helps, since I own a 84 XJ Pioneer Ltd. (power accys, loaded, etc. I've gotten to know these for the most part. BIG upgrades are on the way.........:smokin: | |
