    Metric, SAE, Tor-ex...why oh why?

    Another reason Torx is used, the drivers are universal there is not a metric or an imperial measurement standard. The head will be sized as T-10 T-20 etc. as a technician if every manufacturer used torx head fasteners we would only require one set of tools no matter the nation the device was...

    Hard start

    This is not a typical hard start. This only happens when I stop for my mail, the truck sits less than 30sec not running. The front of the truck is facing down hill about a 15* slope. When I attempt a restart 6 times out of 10 it takes a long time. It may even take 3 or 4 -- 20 sec crank...

    Mystery Leak

    If you cannot do it yourself, it is either engine out or trans out, you have to pay the piper. $700 may be a bit high but you may have selected a high price shop. Do shop around but don't look for the cheapest, or cut corners.

    Questions about XJ in snow and cold

    From the great white north, 4 hi works extremely well on snow covered or icy roads. This time of the year my XJ is in 4 hi as often as 2wd. Those who said good tires are extremely correct. A 4wd drive with regular all season tires will go through more snow than any with great big 30 something...

    I hate RTV

    The gasket will change clearances within the case, I assume it will affect end play of shafts. If a gasket is not intended I wouldn't make one.

    ?? XJ Towing maximum trailer loads??

    Worst expereince ever as a young man building a home. I went to a local Ucart concrete dealer. He willingly fastened a one cubic yard trailer to the 1 7/8 trailer ball on my 86 standard, 4 cyl. Comanche. I should have known better, and he should have refused to hook me up. The truck had no...

    Valve train clatter upon start up

    Synthetic oils may prevent proper ring seating but it is unlikely if you break it in properly. No other known problems with using it. When you rebuilt did you check the lifter bores for excessive wear, I did not go back but did you replace the lifters, drain back should not affect the lifters...

    Having problems shifting gears, getting stuck between gears.

    My old comanche acted much the same way especially in our cold climate. The permanent fix which never caused any problems and driven for many kilometers, I drained the transmision and refilled it with automatic trans fluid. Some Ford transmisions actually have ATF installed in them from the...

    rear main seal

    Done one in my 84 Eagle and 94 XJ simple job for the person with some basic skills. Neither one has ever leaked. The XJ stock height does require jacking and letting the axle hang. The pan will come out and go in easily. The Eagle was a chore as it was much tighter. It required some disassembly...
