So the E350 MC swap seems to be great for earlier XJ's running the single diaphragm brake booster. Another option for the eariler XJ's is to upgrade to a dual diaphragm booster.
The info I'm having trouble finding is re the later year XJ's. I've seen references to '95 or '98 Dodge 3500 MC's as an upgrade, but no one w/a later yr XJ that can confirm. What some are saying is that the 1 ton Dodge reservoir is too tall and people have hood clearance issues. Apparently if you have the earlier yr XJ's and run the dual diaphragm booster as an upgrade, THEN add the 1 ton dodge MC, it clears the hood? There's something about the later yr XJ's and reservoir hood clearance issues w/the 1 ton Dodge MC upgrade. One guy said a 3/4 ton resevoir clears, another guy said the 3/4 and 1 ton resevoirs are the same. I'll keep researching (when the frustration wears off and I feel motivated again) but if anyone has info re the later yr XJ's, please post up...
One thing I'm not seeing addressed re the Dodge MC upgrade, and maybe it's b/c it's a non issue, is that it appears none of the late 90's Dodge Ram's came w/rear disc brakes? So maybe this upgrade will only work for late yr XJ's who are still disc front/drum rear? What if you're running a late model XJ w/discs front/rear? or upgraded (even bigger) discs front/rear?
