But I think it would be a lot harder to do in the WJ considering it has a lot more computer controlled stuff. The same guy also installed a diesel into a 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup truck. Here is the link to the Isuzu Powered ZJ if any one is interested. 1993 Grand Cherokee Diesel Conversion

Even with this there are a number of different electrical connectors that run up into the seat back for heater, etc at least on the 10 way seats I was '78 Cherokee Chief: 360/TH400/NOS QT, '04 Grand Cherokee: 4.7/545RFE/242HD w/SYE, JK Rubi front axle, 4.56 gears, Protofab rear bumper/tire carrier Save Share Reply Quote Like The Jeep® Comanche (also called the MJ) was a pickup version of the XJ Cherokee. The Comanche pickup originally sported much identical running gear to the XJ, though you could get a 2.1L Renault I-4 diesel engine for the ’86 MJ model year. The Comanche was a uniframe vehicle, making it unique among pickups.The WJ's unibody is MUCH stiffer than an XJ, but the 4.slow, AW4, 242/231, HPD30 with 297x shafts and an 8.25 rear is about as good as you will get in stock form. Sure the quadradrive is a nice street/light duty system, but mty 247 was jumping teeth with only 40k miles and 33s, so I much prefer the 231/242 in the XJs.
