I'm stuck debating do I just do the clutch or do the entire job (compressor, dryer, expansion valve) when all that isn't working well is the clutch. Granted that's today with 200K miles. I fear doing the entire job would be better pay back for the long haul. Being I live in southern AZ, air...

I've done a few GM and Ford AC compressor replacements in my younger days, but not an XJ. I'm researching replacing my 1995. I did the shim work a few years ago but that didn't last long and the squeal is creeping back. Any recommendation on brands of compressors to avoid? -DT

Vehicle is a DD w/200K miles - 1996 Cherokee w/ 4.0 and auto trans. The clutch on my air conditioning compressor is shot and will grab less and less each month. AC blows ice cold when it does grab. Now being an AZ rig AC is a must and it's getting hot faster than I had hoped. So now I'm...

We have a winner....!!! Well partial winner as I've found the problem to be two folded. I swapped the ASD (PSD) relay and A/C Clutch relay the jeep starts up and runs just fine. Swap them back it won't. I install new relay starts and runs twice. I then try to start it and nothing, no instrument...

Start position - means full twist of the key clockwise in which the starter cranks over to turn the engine Run position- after you start(crank over) the engine you let the key rebound off the start position because it's spring loaded and it comes to rest counter clockwise to the run state of the...

Duh... where did that signature go.... 1995 XJ Sport 4 door 4.0 Auto trans 4x4

This is one I have not seen before and wanted to bounce it off the experts here. Parked my jeep after driving home from work without any noticeable issues. I needed to move some vehicles around in the garage about two hours later. So I jumped in turned the key to start and the jeep starts but...

Like to give a shout out to the guys at the Big O store on Main St. north side of Durango.... thanks a bunch for getting me back to full PSI so quick on the tires. That sure saved us some time and a boat load of quarters.

Kind of an odd request but I'm looking for place to quickly air up some load range E tires on the south end of Durango. Quite possibly we'll need such a place on the weekend and/or in the wee hours of the night depending on when we hike out and head home. We're making a run up to Durango with...

My rear wiper blade arm was busted off at the hinge point down where it slides onto the motor shaft ...So I'm in the need of one. If anyone is about to toss one out in the trash let me know. I'd cover shipping if not in Tucson. thanks DT.

XJLI... I'm not ruling that out either. Although I'm impressed with the factory regular and high beams - that isn't a bad route to go. Thanks for the suggestion.

I do a lot of dark driving with big animals on the roadways (elk) so I'm not looking to go serious just two 55 to 100watts up front on one switch and a single backup light in the rear. Once you hit a tree in the dark because you can't see you cuss every time there after you put it in reverse and...

I'm going to be installing some front and rear lights. Since adding the roof rack to my jeep putting them up high is more appealing than down on the bumpers. So I'm curious with those of you with roof rack lights where did you bring the wires out to feed them and what have you learned or do...

I have a stick 220v Miller unit for the frame and serious penetration needs and looking to buy a Lincoln mig. Probably going to go with 140 or 180 unit. I sure would like to be able to take anywhere and weld so the 110v is kind of on my list at this point.

I've parked in the same spot with my 1994 YJ without any issue so it seems odd that my 96 XJ would give me fits? Are the gas tanks and pickups that different?
