Hi guys, swapping an aw4 out of a 98 into my 96. Of course the wiring is different. I found the writeup on how to swap the speed sensor rotor from the older aw4: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showpost.php?p=243739279 My question is this - I have a donor 98 xj with a spare tcu. Would it be easier...

Hi everyone, I have a 96xj with about 5" of lift. I have Rusty's 4.5" springs up front and comanche SUA spring packs in the back (I kept my main leaf and put the mj pack under it). Up front I have fixed lowers from rusty for his 4.5" lift kit, and adjustable uppers. I have an adj. trac bar with...

Hi guys, my front tires are wearing really fast, and on the inside edge. I have just replaced all the tie rods and tie rod ends, steering box and trac-bar. The rear tires are wearing fine. I rotated them up front and 2 months later I have major wear on the inside again, and they are cupping from...

Hi guys, I have a quick question - why do some places recommend that you do NOT use heims on a trac bar? Are heims weaker than TRE's or is there something special about the trac-bar application? Which one is stronger - TRE or heim? Thanks SimpleXJ

My friend has a '96 grand cherokee, and last week he hit a deer with it, and now needs to replace pretty much the entire front end. We found all the parts he needs at www.jeeppartspro.com except the headlight buckets (if that's what they are called). I'm talking about the metal "bucket" that the...

My work jeep has 235-75-15's dunlop mud rovers on it. They are 3/4 of the way wore out. I started to feel a slight vibe around 50mph, after I rotated the tires. Instead of going and having them balanced, I thought I would give my new harbor freight manual tire mounter a try and put some airsoft...

Hi guys, The a/c in my '89 hasn't worked since I bought it. That's been about 4-5 years. Today I decided to fix that and filled it with the "arctic freeze" from autozone, after installing the R134 conversion kit. I charged it to 35lbs on the low side. Don't have a way to test the high side. The...

Hi all, I did the taurus fan conversion on my jeep, and it runs fine at first, but after going up a few hills and putting the jeep under load the temp starts to climb. If I put the fan on high, the temp still climbs but much slower. It doesn't start dropping until I park and idle for a while...

I'm reading my haynes manual and it says that the ohm reading between the positive input terminal (12v) and coil body should be infinite. Mine is reading 13K ohms. Is my coil bad or is this test incorrect? The haynes is not clear as to which coil (v6 or i6) this test is for and the coil in the...

Hi everyone, my 89 Xj is acting up again. It doesn't want to downshift until I floor it all the way, and even then it seems sluggish. I have checked the kickdown cable, and it is adjusted and working properly. The engine is a new jasper, so it has plenty of power, but the tranny makes it seem...

This is the revision of the thread I titled Neutral Start Switch, since NSS was not the problem. Here's what's going on guys, I bought an 89 XJ with a new Jasper engine. The guy who installed it really messed some things up. Every once in a while the jeep doesn't want to start - just cranks and...

Hi folks, My 89 XJ is having some wiring issues, and without making this into a long story I would like to ask you all if anyone knows what all the wires to the NSS do. My problem is that when I try to start the jeep the NSS wiring harness smokes - yeah that's bad. I got this jeep from a...

Hi all. I just got a new set of treads, and was wondering if the smaller tires like a 31" could be balanced with BBs or golfballs or whatever, like the larger ones. I burn thru a set of treads pretty quick - I drive my XJ at work for 6-8 hours a day. So It only takes me about 6 months to wear...

My EGR valve nipple has broken off and now I can't reattach the vacuum line to it. I see places sell EGR valve block off plates. Seems like they are a sinch to make. What would happen if I took off my EGR valve and blocked off the opening? Also, what are some other remedies available besides...

The '91 has a NP242 and the '96 has a NP231. Will it work? Thanks guys

Hi guys. This is the second master cylinder cap that has done this. A buddy told me that it's bad brake fluid that causes this. Is the fix as simple as dumping and replacing the fluid? Thanks SimpleXJ

Hi guys. When I haul firewood or other heavy stuff in my MJ the thing sways all over the road. It has all new bushings, tie rods, everything in the front end. Going down the highway, I notice when I start to turn the rear end wants to swing out to the side. I was wondering if putting a trac-bar...

My '91 XJ which I have had for 5 years, just started acting wierd yesterday. On the same idiot light panel as the check engine light, there is an orange light that says "security" which as of yesterday has been coming on about 30 secods after startup. I've never seen this light on before and...

Hi guys, a friend of mine has a 95 grand cherokee with the dana 30 up front. This thing howls pretty bad at hiway speeds. Starts making noise around 35mph and gets very annoying at 55. Definately coming from the front. Sounds like a bad bearing to me. I drove it with the front driveshaft off and...

I know you all must think I'm nuts, but... I already have 2 4wd cherokees and I need something with good gas mileage to drive around town. I drive a LOT for work, 100 miles every day at least. I can't get a car because I have to haul a bunch of newspapers. So I was thinking about converting my...
