Iam thinking of picking up a 1990 XJ Pioneer w/ a 4.0 Auto for $400. My question is, the guy says it has a towing package and i was wondering what is included in a factory towing package? Like is there lower gearing and a trans cooler? Also i was wondering if there was any easy way to tell weather the motor is a 4.0 HO or just a regular 4.0?.



Thanks in Advance for the help.[addsig]

well, i'm not saying that it DOESN'T have a trans cooler those are two things that i am certain of... there are 2 lines coming out of my XJ Limited's transmission that run up to the front near the radiator...[addsig]

My 88 XJ came with the towing package (HD I believe) it had stock axles, but did come with a bigger alternator and battery and what they said was extra cooling, but I never did figure out exactly what that was, never did count the rows in the radiator. And also had the wiring for the trailer, already installed and tucked up by the gas tank.

Jeep offered a few different trailer towing packages, the Ton package came with some more extras, like Dana 44 rear axle.

I read the dealers ordering manual for early XJ´s, about four inches thick. If you can get a hold of one or access the data base, it´s sometimes amazing what the possibilities are.

I´ve got an HO now, always thought it was just a decal on the back, until the first time I hit the gas. For a grocery getter, it will really rock the ol head back.
