    Installed trans cooler, now trans sounds horrible?

    Howdy, y'all. I installed a transmission cooler on my 96 XJ today, and the first drive down the road, I get a horrible sound from the transmission taking off in first. Sounds like metal to metal, more so than air. At light throttle, nothing. As soon as I give it a bit to go, it raises hell...

    two inch lift with addition of xj main leaf

    I read somewhere here that one could obtain approximately two inches of lift in the rear by cutting the eyes from a main spring and adding it to the pack. I'd just like to confirm that I got two and a quarter. Total cost was eleven dollars for center pins and clamps. Thanks y'all.

    np242 parts source?

    Just split my first transfer case from a transmission yesterday. *pats self on back* plan to rebuild and install in mine because there's a cat living in mine that hollers loudly at speeds under twenty. None of the local parts stores can get me anything. Where do y'all get the particulars...

    need tire advice

    I am running magnum 17's, and need tires to pass inspection this month. Someone told me the specs on my ltx 265/70/17s but I can't find the post. Think it was 31.5 but could have been 30.5. Need the rubber by can't afford to lift. Can't afford mount and balance hardly but I can modify if it'll...

    I'm running 17" Magnum wagon wheels, anyone else?

    Howdy, y'all. I did my fair share of searching, and found a post mentioning 16s, but no 17s. Seems the general concensus for tallest tire and no lift is 29" tall. I'm running 2000ish Dodge Magnum wagon wheels. They were cheap enough, and 15s are getting high new and hard to find used. I've...

    Building lost cause 86 into 89/90?

    I have an 86 Pioneer. The interior is straight, and that's about the end of that. I've got clear paper on it, and it's not a major collision victim. It has the little V6 and three speed, vacuum selec trac switch in the console, and CV joint front end. At least it doesn't disconnect, I guess. I...

    Can't post in bargains and deals?

    Won't even let me post in free stuff. Nobody told me I was restricted prior to this. Didn't have this problem posting earlier today in the tech forum. I'd like to build up an 86 into a 90 and part with the old GM junk for cheap, free, or trade locally for later model parts. Such post wouldn't...

    4x4 dash lights?

    I've nearly completed the conversion on my 2wd 96 XJ. I know, what I've done could have been much better. I've used everything out from under an 89 Limited, so I have the NP242 and non disconnect front end. The only thing I have left is to get the two lights in the dash to come on. I'd like...

    fuel leak from hell

    Been busy, I suppose. I have a friend with an 89 XJ, leaking at the injectors a bit. Could use new o-rings, I'm sure, but the regulator is dumping pretty bad as well. I came to do the cooling system conversion and found this. Anyhow, I've had this apart when I replaced the freeze plugs behind...

    door sag/separation, welding question

    Driver's door is sagging on my 96 XJ. Hinge is separating from the body. Found one post without much help. I once welded the hinge to the door on a Chevrolet, but the factory actually glued the hinge to the door, and the heat couldn't have been good for the glue. Are the hinges on the XJ glued...
