FIXED: Got my local shop to smoke test it ($49) a couple weeks ago and found that the metal line (the really rusted one) that appears to have been added before my time did in fact have a leak in it but would have been difficult to detect without getting it smoked. I went down to autozone and...

Well... P0455 came back after 40 miles of driving. I'm giving up and taking it to mechanic as I'm completely stumped on this one and I've wasted too much time trying to fix it without proper diagnostic equipment. I suspect it's either that rusty line from the gas tank or something to do with the...

Thanks everyone for the help here. After about 40 miles after replacing a couple of rubber hoses and the purge valve the light came back on (P0455). I had a couple of free hours today so I just pulled all the lines, pressure tested them, and replaced all the rubber (got tons of extra new hose...

Thanks Tim and RCP! It's a 2001 XJ Automatic 4x4 with 138k miles What complicates things is that I had to run all new stainless brake lines so I could have dislodged just about about any part of the EVAP lines considering they run next to each other. I did a pretty thorough inspection of...

So finished up overhauling my brakes, adding new shocks, changing all the tie rods, and doing a number of completely unrelated things and took her for a test drive. She immediately threw a P0456 (small EVAP leak) :flamemad: After looking through the hoses and not seeing any clear hose issues...

Just finished taking the lines apart and looks to me the softline connector (where the hardline flare goes over) is faulty as it appears to have a flat ridge on one part of the connector where the other side has a clean taper. I'm gonna grab a new softline and hope that fixes it. Man I'm sick of...

Thanks RCP Phx, the fittings seem to fit and are a match. I'll pull them apart and see if there is something I missed when inspecting them before the install. Odd that out of 18 connections I made with the new hardlines this one is the only one leaking.

Howdy y'all, bought a rusty jeep and the hard brake lines started breaking when I did some basic brake work. I decided to go with a full SS hardline kit from SSTubes, as I didn't want to fool around with flaring and bending everything myself, and new Raybesto soft lines. Everything went together...

I've been trying to troubleshoot an issue that's been an annoyance for some time now and before throwing any more money at it I figured I'd see if anyone might have an idea of where to start. Vehicle Deets: 2001 2wd XJ with no lift (227k miles) 7 years and 30k Miles on new; lower control arm...

Never thought of doing it that way! I'll keep that in mind next time. I ended up putting the rotor on and putting on the lug nuts to keep it straight. I had my wife start the engine and apply the brakes while I torqued it to 175 ft lbs. Worked like a charm. Also, Dorman 05101 Spindle Lock Nut...

Took me a minute to figure out how that would work but seems like a pretty handy piece of equipment. Something you welded yourself?

Nice! A 250 ft lbs wrench for your birthday win party1: (I was a little curious if the hub would get messed up from over tightening or if the wrench would break from exceeding it's spec) Thanks for the advice on stacking some lug nuts on it. I might double up and have my wife apply the brakes...

It actually doesn't sound like a bad idea... in theory. I do have that same HF 150 ft lbs torque wrench and opted to rent one from Autozone that goes up to 250 ft lbs since this is about the only job I can think of that will need to go above 150 ft lbs and I was renting a ball joint press, power...

Thanks RCP Phx, makes sense to me! I had a tough time finding the part # for the nut kit. I ended up ordering the Dorman 05101 Spindle Lock Nut Kit. It says it only fits 4wd but my understanding is that part should be interchangeable between 2wd and 4wd. Once I get it in I'll see if it fits...

I'm almost done on my 2wd 2001 XJ front ball joint and wheel hub replacements. I've seen the torque specs for the 36mm axle nut is 175 lbs but it seems pretty high for a 2wd axle stub that serves limited purpose. Also, the axle nuts came off with relative ease so I'm curious if the torque was...

Thanks Lawsoncl, I think you're probably right about the threads being off on the pulley tool. I did end up trying it with 2.5 turn engagement and it went on without issue. It was a little risky but glad I got it knocked out though I probably would recommend just getting a new $15 Power Steering...

Hello All, I've been searching around the forums for a couple days and figured I'd just ask after having limited success. I'm replacing my power steering pump and have got to the point where I need to put the new pulley on the new pump. I did a dry run with the old pump and had a really tough...

PROBLEM SOLVED (years ago). Wanted to follow up on the thread in hopes it might help someone with a similar issue. Problem: I discovered that the previous owner had installed a CB and did such a great job of wiring it looked completely stock under the hood. It had a aftermarket switch I had...

Thanks Tim! I'll probably have to grab a buddy with a little more electrical experience than myself to help troubleshoot with the multimeter. I just tried to start it and it clicked once then there was no juice to anything after that. I took the terminals off and waited 30 minutes. Reconnected...

Hello All, I searched the forums for some time and tried most all suggestions but nothing has worked. I've gotten to the point where I almost want to sell the damn thing. Vehicle Info: 2001 XJ Sport 2WD 4.0L AW4 217,000 miles OEM CPS is only 10k miles old NAPA TPS and IAC Sensors Brand New...
