few problems....

ZipperheadXJ00 · Jan 28, 2009

I know the XJ has lots of problems, but can ya'll tell me if they are normal?

1) the oil pressure at idle is sitting about 20. But when i accelerate it goes up to 40. normal?

2) when I use my 4wd, after i stop moving and turn off the jeep, I smell something that has burnt. I don't think that's normal.

3) when I use my 4wd, but I disengage it, it doesn't disengage it right away. then when it does, it makes a loud thud.

Any ideas on my problems?:huh:

Thanks.

1) Normal. ( A little low, but shouldnt be anything maybe your low on oil...)
2) Check the fluid in your TC, drain it, smell it for burning smell, check for metal particles, etc...
3) Its possible that your linkage needs adjustment. Sometimes it takes me a couple tries before the 4wd will disengage. I would make sure your on a flat surface, completely stopped, and in neutral when you disengage the TC. Try it a couple times and see if it you can get it to disengage correctly.

Manual or automatic? Full time or part time? The more you tell everyone, the more you get back.

#1. Oil pressure fluctuation you mention is normal
#2. Gotta check the fluid level in your transfer case! Determine if you have a leak. Fresh fluid never a bad idea.
#3. See #2

1) I was a little low on oil, so that's taken care of.
2) Haven't had time to check the fluid in the TC but I have a long weekend coming up so i will check that.
3) see #2

Thanks everyone!

3.) Sounds like linkage adjustment.
