Hi guys, MIne is a XJ classik 2000 4.0 with 4" lift. My tires are 32 and brakes are still stock what makes the Jeep hard to stop. I don't want to spend lots of money but I really need to improve them. What should I buy or replace? Thanks for your advise. Mike

Thanks for your interest in solving my problem. Answer is super easy. It is over pressure. It starts, from one moment to the other, to expel coolant with pressure through the cup or through rubber hoses unions. When you change the cup or tighten the "embrasing clamps" on the end of rubber hose...

Hi Guys, I'm just recovering my 2000 XJ from the 5th broken radiator in the last 2 years. Official service could not give any solution beside saying they don't have time o deal with such an old Jeep..¿¿?? (they already replaced one on guaranty). Now I decided to put a real Metal radiator, but...

Hi again, Cherokee classik 2000 : the second fan at the engine operates normaly when temperature gets high, but it doesn't work when A/C is connected.

Hi Guys, I own a XJ classik year 2000 4.0 lt. I have relpaced the radiator 3 times (the first two I had to pay a lot at the official Service... the third was guarantee). As the 2nd radiator only lasted 3 month, I asked the Service to check what causes the problem, but they seem to replace the...

My experience says to go over a long checklist. As Mattyj suggest when wobble seems to come from the rear wheels need to be inspected visually. Also try to make an accure measuring on a "geometric table" (so is it called in my country. Also a driveshaft balance should be considered as it may...

Thanks Ecomike...Thats the point. Part failures is the thing and Spark plug wires is a very good example. For example I usually take to the trails a pair of...of....those metal parts that look like a cross that go on the driveshaft and "usually" get broken...but, inside the engine is a Black box...

Fi guys, Two years ago, I experienced a problem with the gasoline meter needle...it definit was crazy and just went full up when Tank was full. After a few miles came up and down until it fell to cero. Service explained that this occurred when jeeping with little gas on the tank and pump...
