So, I went out mudding the other day, nothing to unusual. Drove away fine. Took a 100 mile drive, and on the return trip, check gauges light comes on and the voltmeter needle drops. I barely make it home as my headlights were about as bright as candles. So, I figure, alternator, great. I...

Hey there. I've got myself a 97 4.0 AW4 NP231 with 227000 on the ticker. When I shift from park into anything, whether it be drive or reverse, I get a very loud and disturbing CLUNK. Afterwards the tranny shifts like a dream. I also get the clunk shifting from reverse to drive or vise versa...

Anyone know how many oz. of 134a to put into a 1997 XJ? Thanks.

I'd also be interested in the front end conversion. Let me know what needs to happen (money wise and such).

So, does anyone know how much a set of 235 tires will throw off my speedo/mileage vs the Chrysler standard 215's? It's a 97 XJ 4.0 AW4, fyi. And yes, i've searched :)

check your fuse box on the kick panel of the passenger side. It's a 5 amp fuse, but i cant remember what number. The handbook will tell you.

So, i did the ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON code check on my 1997 XJ 4.0 AW4 and got back these codes in this order 12-31-11-45-55 What do I need to check, replace, etc.? I have brand new O2 sensors. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

very nice. Looks good and saves a handful of cash so you can put it in your gas tank :)

I live on the northeast side. Cleaning up the pieces cause we just had a tornado! Thank god the XJ survived it...

Well, I'm currently running the mix, and to be honest it feels like the engine has got a little more juice! It'll be interesting to see what it does to my overall gas mileage as it's only about 25% ethanol. Running like a top!!!

Yea, every gas here in Indy is already E-10, so I'm running an ethanol blend whether I want to or not :). I just figured what could it hurt to save over 25% on gas even if i do get a drop in gas mileage. As long as it doesn't drop by 25% or more, I think it's a go for me. I'll go ahead and...

Would an air/fuel controller do the same thing as the kit? Isn't that basically all it does, cause a e85 specific kit is 400 bucks and I can find air/fuel controllers for about 200

well, I guess I could try it and see what happens? One tank of mix wont hurt anything will it? Thats my biggest concern, I dont need to be making any expensive repairs any time soon :P

Sorry, what are EGT's? Like I said, new to this stuff :)

So, I've been reading on forums about an e85 kit since its so much cheaper than gas around here (about 30%) But the kits are too f'n expensive. I've read that the blend is essentially a 105 octane, so could I just mix 3/4 tank of 87 with a 1/4 tank of 105 octane E85 to achieve an octane rating...
