Just bought my 2nd xj and the oil pressure fluctuates when coming to a stop. initially I thought it was a bad switch, but now I noticed the temperature gauge is doing the same thing. It's a 97 year. I was wondering If anyone knew a ground strap that I can find that may be causing this? Also the...

Honestly I think it was the overheated oil that was steaming out. As I found there was pretty much no coolant at all when it finally stalled in my driveway.

Well, the problem is still there. Highway it overheats. But at idle and in the city its fine. I actually heard the electric fan kick on when I was sitting in the jeep waiting. I'm thinking its the radiator? Anyone else think otherwise before I shell out $140 for it? I also had the cooling system...

Ok. Replaced the coolant tank and it works now. But I want to get that fan relay fixed too for safe keeping. Its on the drivers side you said? I saw one relay next to some vacuum tree. next to the air filter. Is that it?

Hmm, why is that? Cause I was just about to replace it, like right now.

Well, i replaced the fan clutch. Gonna replace the thermostat. And I am buying a new coolant tank right now. I'll see what all this does.........

For 90 cherokee or similar. ASAP

Yeah its cracked in the back. There is debris in it so I can actually see it. Where is the electric fan relay? I replaced the fan clutch, but it won't engage because for some reason the radiator isnt heating up. Im guessing thats because I need a new coolant bottle. I'll get that tomorrow.

So......Would you assume that the headgaskets went if you saw steam coming out of the valve cover? How hard is it to do them in these jeeps? Do I have to disconnect all kinds of accessories? Anyone want a jeep with a blown head gasket?

I think i know what the problem is but since I don't know this jeep very well I'm not too sure. When I first got this thing 6 months ago, the electric fan was unplugged. I plugged it back in. It would ALWAYS be on, as soon as i turned the ignition on, even before cranking the engine over...

It's a metal tank with a plastic shroud. Are you saying get a stock one from an xj that has a stock metal shroud?

I'm sorry, I did a search on edmunds. It says I have a 20 gallon tank. SORRY ALL! I've only owned the thing for 3-4 weeks now. But, to the skidplates, since I cant delete the thread. Anyone have any reccomendations? I don't need anything for a monster rock crawler just something better than stock.

I got a pinhole in my tank after hitting a rock. The hole is at a point where the rust was so bad that the bend actually creased the hole into the tank. I'm gonna have to cut off the bolts that hang it into place, as they are rusted so bad, will chrysler have replacements? Anyways, I was...

So I just took it out in the yard to see what 4x4 really means. Remember this 4wd stuff is all new to me. Everyone told me not to use 4wd on the road but the manual says I can. I won't anyways just for safe keeping. Before I got back on the road I pushed the lever back down and the lights for...

Also, what is the stock spark plug brand?

Yeah I think it was rough country brand. Now I'm sure I won't ever take the jeep to the extremes that some of you do, I guess it will suit me fine then. There has to be some sort of problems these vehicles are prone to though, any ideas you can throw my way?

I didn't see any noob intro forum so I'll post here. I'm going to be buying a jeep this week 1990 cherokee laredo with 120,000 miles Mostly as a winter beater but I saw on ebay there are some lift kits for only 300-400 bucks with everything? How can that be? Thats so cheap, and for that price I...
