I had everything pulled apart and noticed one precat was completely hollow. So I ordered a new unit, installed it and now after running for a few minutes the same precat is getting red hot. This of course explains why the old one was hollow, but why is it happening in the first place? I have not...

My XJ has been on the back burner for a while now and just recently got to getting it back to trail ready status. One thing that has continued to plague it is the infamous heat soak issue(or at least I think that is what it is). I live near Vancouver and on hot days(anywhere from 28c-36c) it...

so my dads 98 xjs a/c is not working. the entire system checks out, the problem is the compressor clutch relay is not getting 12v to pin 86. the system is charged fully with no leaks. i tested the line going to the ac clutch for power and get nothing. i then jumped a wire from the 12v+ battery...

i have a noise coming from the rear end when i brake. it's like a loud clicking, or rat-tat-tat. almost like a ratcheting noise. i don't get it when going slow and using light brake pressure, the noise gets louder the harder i brake. i can also feel it through my shift nob(whether i am in gear...

so i got a 01 xj for a decent price. only thing i want to make sure of before i make it my dd is the transmission health. i noticed that sometimes when it sits at idle, in neutral, with the clutch out there is a rattle. i crawled underneath and it is definitely coming from the nv3550 or...

i have searched high and low(here and elsewhere) and cannot seem to find any kind of reviews. looking at http://www.adrenalinemotorsportsllc.com/45xseriessuspensionliftkitjeepxj.aspx the picture they have for it is wrong, here is their ebay page with the right one...

right now i have a 1990 XJ with a manual transmission. the thing is a beast and keeps on running great, but the body and interior have a lot of issues so i am looking to upgrade to a newer gen(97-01) in good shape. trouble is, i want a manual and no matter what that is what i will get in the...

i have been searching endlessly and am still somewhat confused here. i got a deal on a set of near new bfg a/t 31s for $250, so i plan on putting them on soon(currently run some worn out bfg a/t 235s). trouble is, i have a 5 spd with 3.07 gears and i know the 31s will likely bog things down. i...

i have a 1990 and it is starting to get a little bit of rust here and there. the stuff around the windshield and other small stuff i can fix, but i am unsure if my rockers have gone too far or not to do a non-welding fix until i get the time to put in some real rocker rails. would fiberglass...

ok, i have searched thoroughly on here and across the net on this subject. i have found many different(and often conflicting) opinions on this. i changed out my valve cover gasket, and i found i fair bit of sludge inside. i cleaned out the valve cover, but i didnt want to disturb too much...

I havent posted on here or even visited in a while, but when i got my 1990 XJ 4.0 i did a ton of research here and browsed the forums daily. well, today on my way to work the engine died out on me without warning. i would crank it again to start, and no go. if i let it sit for a bit, it would...

i bought my 90 a few months ago, one of the first things i did was replace the u-joints on the rear ds as they were badly worn out. now, i got new straps for the back one but they seem to be loose(not holding the joint very well). after a few weeks of driving, i get noise and some minor vibes...

i did a bastard pack in the rear, and just finished zj v8 coils with spacers up front to bring my xj up to 2.5" front and rear. ive got no driveline vibes, but my steering seems to be affected. it just seems more sensitive than it was, and i have to pay attention to it more or it could wander a...
