Searched all through here, but no answer.

My YJ is a rebuilt title supposedly with a rebuilt motor swapped in during or after the rebuild/retitle process so the VIN has no relevance to much of what is actually in the Jeep. Although everything appears late 89: AX15 transmission; exhaust manifold has the date 8 11 89 on it. (And no cracks! Yet.)

Playing around with some online parts lookups, either Autozone or Advance Auto (can't recall) had a notation that 20% of 89 YJs had a M code engine and the other 80% the T code.

Does anyone know for sure what the differences are? I've read all the speculations about which models had V-belts and which had serpentine - sounds like late 80s Wranglers were "parts bin" built as parts stocks were used up during changeover periods.

So, anyone have good info?

Bump.... I'm in the same boat

Anyone, Anyone??

I don't know them all but the V belt vs. serpentine is definately one and the fuel pump, whether it's a front or rear outlet is another.

Thanks, I just recently discovered there were the two different fuel pumps. That might be an identifier.

I've seen other threads where the v-belt versus serpentine appeared to be kind of at random during some change overs made to the 6.2L models around 87-89. But I've also read there were T and M code motors scattered throughout that time frame.
