I just investigated the loud noise coming from my Jeep and found a huge hole in the back of the muffler. Looks like replacement is straight forward, and I have just one question. What is the deal with the connector between the cat and muffler. There are two square flanges that bolt together...

I have had my replacement u-joints on for only 2 years or so now, and they are bad again. They were the ungreasable variety. Would putting greasable ones on give me more life from them? I do not want this to be a every two year affair. Also, I am only getting a clicking during sharp turns...

Anyone know how hot a front differential should run in 2 wheel drive mode. Mine was surprisingly hot to the touch the other day. Also, anyone know good temps for the tranny fluid in the cooler lines. Measured mine they other day and they were about the same, ~140F or so. Thanks, Eric

I have a 2000 that just developed a rattling noise from underneath. The noise does not appear at idle, or any rpm at idle, it only appears at around 2000 RPM under load, and disappears right after a shift point, then will reappear once back over 2000 rpm. So if I really baby the throttle at...

I have the exact same symptoms as in the post below http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=911913 No noise whatsoever, but an awful smell on the highway, and the truck pulled to one side really bad when I applied the brakes on the offramp. The smell is definitely from the drivers side...

I am replacing the lower line on a 2000. From what i understand the lower fitting is a quick disconnect, but the ears are gone. Anyone have an easy way of undoing this connection? Can the fitting in the tranny be removed without destroying it? Thanks, Eric

Anyone ever tried the Monroe sensatrac load adjusting shock absorbers? The back of my jeep sags a bit when I hook up my trailer, and I need new shocks anyways, was hoping that these would take care of both issues. I don't really care about ride quality since this is just to tow my toys around...

Well, I made a mistake and had some brake work done very far from home. The brakes have squeaked since then. The front are completely new, with new drums in the back. People that have listened swear the squeak is from the back. If the drums were replaced with the original shoes could this...

I am on a road trip and recently developed a very nasty squeal from the front end of my 2000 that comes and goes. I need to take this in and have it looked at before heading back to NY. Anyone have experience with Battlefield Jeep in Charlottesville VA? Thanks, Eric

Saturday I left on a 600 mile road trip. Just before I left i checked all fluids and found for some reason the oil was high. I replaced the filter and that brought the level back to a good level as checked in a garage. I have no idea how too much oil made it in since I only buy 6 quarts to...

I replaced the front u-joints in my 2000XJ last fall. I never saw a grease fitting on them. It appears that some may have something for a needle type grease fitting. There is something that looks like a rivet head with a small hole, is this how I grease them? How does it work? IIRC the...

I have a 2000 XJ with about 96K miles. I would like to replace the O2 sensor, but just found out there are 4 of the dumb things. Is one of them more important to mixture than the others, or do I need to replace all 4 to get maximum benefit. Also, do I need to go with OEM or would Bosch work...

I want to replace my steering wheel that is molting. Anyone know if the wheels on jeeprus will work with cruise? Does the existing criuse switches unbolt and move over to the new wheel? Thanks, Eric

The other day I had my check gauges light come on. My voltmeter was sitting on 9. Came up to normal a few seconds later. No squealing from the belt that I heard. Since then I have kept an eye on it and noticed that it goes down to 10 or so at idle with some accesories on, especially the...
