Thank you all. Bought the oem part from the dealer and it works like a champ. For the record, comparison between the four that I now have (one old, one new oem and two crap) the magnets in the oem parts were ten times stronger. Presuming that has something to do with the quality of the part...

Backstory... 2000 xj 4.0 4x4 120k miles My last xj's cps died at this point and as a preventative measure (not wanting to get stuck in the middle of nowhere like before) I chose to swap it out. Bought a cheapo one off amazon and it caused the engine to miss once it warmed up to normal temp...

An interesting read from Bob the oil guy on air filters. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm

The rubber grommet can get dried out and be tough to just twist out. I destroyed them on my 00xj. I got the two same grommets from AZ and replaced the rear elbow. The rear one has a smaller diameter opening that clogs over time. The front one can be reused. All told you can get both...

My 94 does the same thing. Figure if it totally dies, I will still have braking (albeit non vac assist) and will deal with it then. Just plan ahead, and only use 79% braking or less. ;P

My 94 did that too. My assumption was the cheapo shoes that I bought for the brakes. They were always free of gear lube or brake fluid, but during high humidity, they locked up. My quick cure was like above, I would engage the e-brake and drive for 100 yards or so. The heat built up from the...

I had 6 beers to watch it drain!:clap::clap:

Mine turned, but it helped to pull out on the knob while turning. Imagine a fine thread screw where it takes several turns to get the screw out- now imagine a rather coarse screw (the valve) where 1/2 turn moves the valve almost all the way out (open). Just be verrrrrrry gentle, it breaks...

A quick solution for the cracked tee. Rather than cutting your current heater hose, just remove it from the front of the engine, install the tee on the end. Get another piece of hose from the store, hook it to the other end of the tee and then to the port on the front of the engine. Flush the...

Had the same problem on my 94. I first expected a leaky cylinder or seal, but both were dry. This lock up also only happened when there was high humidity- snow/rain it did not matter. It was not much of a problem in the summer time, but drop the temps below freezing and it became a safety...

Sorry- forgot to add the link: permatex

Found this stuff by permatex that says it can be exposed to liquids and driven immediately. The box says that it is dried tack free in 15 minutes, sealed tight in 2 hours and fully cured in 24 hours. I used one can to do both the front and rear diff and finished it off with the thermostat...

I used a box cutter with a sharp blade to make the square a little bigger. Didn't take much and the plastic was rather soft making it easy to cut.

Yep, but also comes on for low brake fluid as Mr. Peters alluded to.

Glad to hear (literally) I am not the only one.

I have wondered about that- would that create any pressure problems down line?

Oh, save your $190 and go buy some good beer.

Difficult- no jack up the jeep- no I removed the links as well- made it easier. Suggest some penetrating oil on the exposed nuts. The bolts holding the bar to the unibody will probably be somewhat rusty. Will take some work to get them out. Just be careful on the reassembly not to cross the...

Seriously, how do you feel about Fram? :D Do you have any numbers or anything other than your friend doesn't like them? I used to think K&N air filters were great and bought into the whole "more airflow" thing until I saw a detailed comparison vs paper and foam regarding the amount of dirt...

Are the glued endplates really a problem? Wouldn't the construction of the filter hold everything together? After I cut the filter open, the plates are easier to remove with the glue for inspection, but I can't see them coming apart when sandwiched inside the filter assy. I have used the TG...
