Re: 727 to 518 swap...

A: Can't find it for a reasonable price. All the cheap yards had the boxes 
hacked out of the harness already (retards that don't know how to undo a 
couple screws tick me off!) and the rest want close to $1,000 for the 
harness only!
   I just need to get my J10 running ASAP as my house will be going up for 
sale soon. The price was right, and the alarm system is something I'd like 
to have anyways. If I had a total wiring diagram, I could figure my way 
around the little probs. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and go to Dyment 
of Chrysler with hat (and wallet) in hand.

Jim, this GC is a 4.0L, right? I'd forget about using that wiring harness 
and controller and get an XJ/MJ setup. Doesn't have all the fancy anti-theft 
junk in it or other control boxes -- unless you want some of those 
"features". I'm pretty sure the Toyota and Volvo has the trans controller 
built into the engine computer like the 96+ Jeeps. Toy/Vol probably started 
integrating way before 96. So an XJ/MJ or the aftermarket controller you 
mentioned will probably be your best bet.
