Hi all, does anyone know the resistance to pressure values of an oil pressure sender for a 1998 XJ? I've poked around the and can't seem to find any information on this one.

I installed new steering components today in my 1998 XJ, doing the ZJ tie rod upgrade. Components used were Moog problem solver (I also replaced the drag link and it's TRE that connects to the pitman arm. I torqued all of the castle nuts to 55 ft/lbs (from the torque chart spec in the 1999...

I noticed a gap in the stabilizer bar link connection the other day on my 1998 XJ, and I am not sure as to what is causing it. I thought maybe the nut had backed out, but I put the torque wrench on it and it is at the proper torque. Here is what caught my attention (notice the gap on the...

I'm building a load (cargo) stabilizer, the final step of which necessitates welding a piece on while it is attached to the jeep (98 XJ). As long as I disconnect the battery and keep the grounding clamp close to the weld area, is my car going to survive? Anyone else done this and lived to...

Hi all, went to the park today, and when I went to leave a couple of hours later the Jeep wouldn't idle. She started okay, but I had to keep my foot on the pedal to keep her from dying. I made it home doing the two-foot shuffle, and she died in the driveway as soon as I took my foot off of...

Hi all. I changed my rear shoes last year, including new springs, but I kept the same adjustment screws (98 XJ, 160k). I recently took off the rubber boot on the back of the backing plate, and was able to turn the adjusting screw quite a bit before the brakes started to rub on the drum, and...

So it's long past time to change the fluid in my rear differential, and I'm stuck on the same question that has kept me from changing this. Do I have a limited slip differential, which needs a friction modifier in the gear lube? This is for a stock '98 XJ SE, with 4WD (part time) and is an...

Hi, I have a '98 XJ, with the standard AM/FM 1.5 DIN radio, and I was wondering if a unit such as this would physically fit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280739741419 I realize that the pinouts will be different, but there are adaptors to fix that; my main concern is...

Hey guys, the fender flares on my '98 XJ are supposed to be black, buy they are mostly grey now. If I rub them, there is black underneath the oxidized layer. Any idea on what the best approach would be to restore them? I tried armor-all, but it had no effect. I could use a polishing...

I have read of the need to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor after ~120k miles (I'm at 145k right now). When I go to look for a part number, I'm told it is not available. Is the CPS something only used on manual tranny XJ's in my year?

Howdy, my driver's side mirror popped off the other day when I went to fold it inwards. Fortunately, I had the window open, and it landed harmlessly on the carpet. Now, I need to come up with an adhesive to glue it back onto the mounting plate. Anyone know what adhesive would be...

Hello, My FSM (99 Cherokee SE 4WD) tells me I can lift along the unibody frame rail or on the back axle (but then it also says not to life the vehicle with a floor jack under an axle tube). I tried on the back sub-frame rail, but the springs pushed the back tires back down on the ground...

I found this orphaned connector under the hood of my 98 Cherokee, on the left side of the engine compartment, back by the firewall between the AC and the Transmission Fluid Dipstick. . It has two wires coming from it; any idea where it is supposed to go? Thanks!

Hello, I am looking to purchase a TPS for my 98 SE. Looking at this page from rockauto, I have my choice between one from "Standard Motor Products" or "AC Delco." Now, I know that AC Delco does OEM parts for Chevies, but I don't know about for Chrysler products. Since both items are...

I'm not sure what this part is called, but mine is a bit too rusty for my tastes, and I would like to replace it. I have searched here, an looked at my Haynes, but I can't find the name of the part or what it is called. It connects the heater hose to the thermostat housing, and is metal...

Hello, I recently purchased this 98 Cherokee SE. When I use the defroster, the A/C wants to come on (which I read is normal, under 30F, although it does it at 40F which is another problem), but the A/C cycles several times a minute (a problem I will fix another time). For right now, I...
