    One article that sums up what's wrong with America

    I'll write up a medical waiver for all of that mind set right now, and have it signed. Do not E.R. Do Not Resuscitate. Do Not Pay For My Stupidity. _______________________ then she can do what she likes without worrying about the rest of us footing the bill. Not that Bill... Sicko.

    Falling out of love with XJ rant

    I defected from The XJ owners club in march. my 89 5 speed tore through the front transmission bearing (still the peugot beast) and it became S.E.P. (someone else problem, According to Douglas Adams). Got a 97 Nissan Pathfinder. Things I miss: The jeep was quick, I saw up to 22 mpg on the...

    RENIX no start... no fuel...., no clue...

    We had one of these in my 89 4.0 recently. Might i suggest go ahead and pull the ECU (just above the gas pedal) and probe c14 and c15 for ground. i think that's the ground. they're both black. Mine was disconnected from the ground junction just above the oil filter on the passenger side of...

    is there a difference between a diff lock and locking hubs?

    Lockers - a diff lock, as you put it, ties the wheels on an axle together. it allows both to put down power at all times. Locking hubs, on the other hand, are a way of disconnecting the wheels from the driven rotating assembly of the drivetrain for street use. they're not the same. If your...

    Death of an XJ?

    Good call to check there too. thanks Gasman. if it weren't for the freaking tires... i'd have just driven it to the junk yard when the clutch and motor mounts went out!!! I believe what my tech, Eric, called those wires was "unholy mess". sounds about right, no?

    Death of an XJ?

    Oh... yeah... I have also replaced the crap firewall to engine ground and tested the rest of the battery cabling and found resistance to be acceptable. theres a new starter motor too (the old one liked to click sometimes in leu of starting) to start the begging for.

    You know you own/drive a XJ when...

    When you have put more money into keeping it running in the past 4 months than the original purchase price, and it still seems like a good idea.

    Brand New Clutch Not Disengaging?? HELP!!!

    just after i had my clutch in my 89 replaced, i got wicked bad clutch chatter when beginning in 1st or reverse. Didn't do the flywheel, and i've just had it redone for the 2nd time in 9 months. the motor mounts and transmission (spendy) mount were also shot, helping the clutch to tear the hell...

    Heater switch broke (I think)

    I hate to replace 2 parts. the customers hate it. but do yourself a favor, and replace the blower motor at the same time. resistor packs don't fail for no reason. Next, the blower motor will start to squeal when cold. Otherwise, you get to replace the resistor again in 6 months... and...

    Key Slides Out of Ignition

    you see, fellas my 89 has never had much affinity for maintaining its keys while running. I've found it to be convenient to be able to pull my keys out to check the mail box or clip my nails while waiting at a stop light.. interesting, some people would complain about that. i say enjoy!

    Turn Key, and no start, no lights, radio, windows, etc

    my 89 did this kind of thing shortly after i bought it... for mine, it turned out to be the junction point just aft of the battery under the junction cover. From the battery, there should be 1 heavy wire going direct to the starter, and one to the junction. yeah... electric gremlins are the...

    The Strangest thing...

    any parts store will sell a vent de-funk-ify kit... you spray it in through the vents under the windshield. did it on an Audi at work, and it works awesome. i don't remember what the brand name was... but they will know what you're asking about, i expect.
