    Crankshaft Bolt Hole

    98/4.0 My son bought it and thought it was a good deal. Upon my recommendation, he attempted to replace the Harmonic Balancer and stripped the bolt hole thread. What are his options? Thanks in advance. Best

    Stripped Bolt

    I am replacing the water pump on my wife's car. It is held by three bolts. Two of them came off, but the third one got stripped. I used only a flat wrench, but it was an 8mm bolt and it got rounded after only two tries. What are my options? Thanks in advance.

    Steering noise. Possible causes?

    99XJ I6 4WD 206K Auto I am hearing a loud steering noise that sounds exactly like bad steering gear box bracket. I removed the original bracket a few years back and replaced it with the reinforcement plates. The same noise started to appear a month ago. I dont see anything wrong with the...

    Possible Candidate for the FAQ

    Throughout the years I have shared here tips and shortcuts and here is another one: If you need to change the u-joints on the front axle shafts your life would be much easier if you cut a piece metal to size and and wedge it between the yoke lobes prior to pressing out the old u-joints. This...

    Gas Tank Lock Nut

    99XJ 4WD I6 220K I am replacing the fuel pump and no matter what, the gas tank lock nut wouldnt budge, so I just cut it and bought a new one from the local stealership. The new one looks exactly the same, but in black. I tried a dry run first and soon after the thread catches it becomes...

    Blinkers

    99 XJ 4WD 192K When I turn the passenger side blinkers I hear that fast click as if a lightbulb is burned. I then get out to check which one is out and all I can see that the one on the inner side of under the headlight is not blinking. Sometimes all of the lights stop blinking and just stay...

    Rustproofing

    Hi guys, I am at a loss and I need your collective wisdom... I really like the brand new car I just bought (yup, Jeep is still here..no need to ask) and would like to protect my new purchase. I live in New England, as a matter of fact, I walk to the beach from my house. All seasons here...

    Car Buying Advice

    Hello, I am buying a new car and had my first test drive today. Afterwards, I was talking to the salesman and obtained some information that am almost positive I shouldn't have.. A spreadsheet with these columns: Net Invoice Conditional Advertising Floor Line Holdback Amount Dealer Invoice...

    I just can't pinpoint that noise...

    99XJ 4WD 4.0 195K For the last couple of years, I have slowly developed this noise/vibration that sounds like a driveshaft out of balance. The frequency of vibration increases as the speed of the car increase. When it was barely detectable, the noise/vibe seemed to come from the shaft that...

    Airbag Clockspring

    None of the stores I frequent carries clocksprings anymore (Autozone, NAPA and Advanced Auto). The closest junkyard that has them is two hundred and something miles away. I use car-part.com to locate one. The stealership charges $260 for a new one and over $500 to replace the old...

    Need an answer really fast

    99 XJ 4WD 188K My oil filler cap will not unscrew. I am turning it counterclockwise and all it does is click as it turns, but does not unscrew. I need to leave now and there is no oil in the engine. What are my options?

    Not starting

    97XJ 4.0 4WD 185K Yesterday the temperatures reached 100F in CT where I work and after baking all day my car wouldn’t start. I thought it was the fuel pump, because I couldn’t hear it, you know how you hear the fuel pump before the starter turns the engine… which made me mad, because my fuel...

    Weird...

    99Sport Two weekends ago, oil started seeping from the plastic covered hole of my rear differential and then dripping on the pavement after I park. I drove like that for a week and then refilled it. I cannot tell for real how much was lost, since I was parked on a slope with the front facing...

    No Heat at all

    I don't have any heat. The blower motor does not work and also when I turn the dial the temperature that comes in does not change. I think it happened while I was chasing another electrical issue. I took out each of the fuses from the electrical panel to check if there are any in need of...

    No blinkers

    99XJ 4WD I6, mostly stock. I was driving today and upon turning my blinker on in order to make a right turn, I heard a zapping sound from the steering wheel area and the blinkers went out. I am blinkerless now. The lights are on and also the highbeams come on too. I am going to start on it...

    Tree problem

    I am seeking advice on how to go about a tree dispute with my neighbor. The neighbor has the type of trees that grow really fast in height and produce very few branches. As they grow, if not capped, they start to split and eventually fall on the ground because of their own weight or in some...
