Yep, I completely believe that. I will know for the next time not to assume anything. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

Here is my complete follow up for future readers. The real problem ended up being a bad starter. I didn't think to test the starter because it had been replaced only 3 months earlier. However, after cleaning the NSS, changing all the battery cables, testing all the grounds and replacing the 3...

Okay, so the problem ended up being pretty straightforward. The negative battery terminal clamp is cracked. Therefore, when I would tighten the nut down all the way there was still some wiggle with the negative terminal on the post. I wedged a small nail down in between the post and the terminal...

I just wanted to post the solve on the issue I was having here. The problem stopped once I had a slip yoke (SYE) eliminator put in. The shop that I took it to didn't think that was the problem, but I asked them to install it anyway, and that did the trick. No similar troubles since it's been...

My '99 XJ has recently given me issues randomly not starting. I thought at first it was a starter issue (although I had a new starter already installed only 2 years ago). I had the starter replaced again. That seemed to fix the problem. However, not long after that, I drove it on a short local...

I came across this helpful video (link below) from "JeepSolid" on YouTube and it demonstrates how to properly test your fuel system pressure. I figured it could be helpful to anyone that views this post in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tXadgKF6oA

Thank you for the very helpful reply. Your info should get me going towards a fix without a lot of guess work. I appreciate it! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

I'm experiencing the symptoms of heat soak at different temperatures. I can start my '99 Cherokee XJ in the mornings on a cold or hot day and I'll get a sputtering in the engine response when I pull out of my drive (It goes away after driving for a couple minutes.). When I let the engine warm up...

This topic might exist already, but I wanted to start a new thread to give it the attention I felt it deserves. The problem with my 1999 Cherokee XJ was that after I lifted it by only 2 inches with a body lift, I started getting a rough sounding bump in the drivetrain when taking my foot off...

Okay, glad to hear it's a normal thing. I am impressed you are tackling a paint job. I don't have anything necessary required to do that. Good luck!! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

I noticed my front grill and quarter panel fit very tight together. I assume that is normal. They shouldn't have a little breather gap between them, correct? Is that how yours fits? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

You really shouldn't go over a 2-3 inch lift if you don't have any future off roading in mind. If you go bigger than that you're going to have to put in a slip yoke eliminator to correct the angles and stop vibes. Transfer case drop too. You'll also lose a lot of mpg's. It will look great wit a...

I haven't noticed any leaks. The shop just worked on both the front and rear diffs so they should be sealed up well. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

I've got a noise that definitely doesn't sound good when I'm cruising and then let off the gas. It usually takes a split second or sometimes a couple seconds before I hear the sound and feel the vibrations. It sounds like something in the driveline, axle or maybe wheel. The sound is kind of a...

I think you're right. I think you're exactly right. The heim joint should be below the bracket and only the nut should be in the bracket cavity. Thanks for knocking me upside the head here. I really appreciate it!

I actually had already installed it with the heim joints on the upside. So he commented that they were reversed when I had it in there for something else.

I have a 1999 XJ with 189,000 miles. I replaced the entire exhaust from the header back this year because of a cracked header. I went with Banks Power for everything, except for the catalytic converter, which is a Flowmaster. You probably won't have the cracked head issue for awhile, but if you...

I recently installed a Steinjager track bar that has a ladder bar adjuster, which I unfortunately didn't learn could be adjusted while still on the vehicle, until taking it off the vehicle (oops). I needed to make it longer to center up my axle with the frame. I tried loosening the two jam nuts...

I think I may have just answered my own question (emphasizing the word, "think"). It seems as though when the suspension is articulating, you'd want the more flexible joint to be on the axle side, where as the less flexible bushing joint would be up at the frame where not as much flex is...
