Wheres the fuel filter on my 98 4.0 Sport? Is it in the tank? If it is, I'm gonna be really mad. What a pain to replace.

I really need new U-joints bad. I see that Parts America is selling CV half shafts as a replacement part as well. Is it at all possible that a CV half shaft will replace the traditional "U-Joint" half shaft on an XJ? If not....does anyone know the proper part number for a 98 XJ front axle...

OK I have a 98 Cherokee Sport. When its cold it fires right up. But after driving it, going into a store for a couple hours, coming back out, I try starting it and it just turns over and over and over. Then I turn it off and back on again and it fires right up. Whats the deal?

Where can I buy a catalytic converter that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Mine is rattling on the inside. Sounds like a bunch of stones bouncing around. Thanks.

I've used mobil 1 100% synthetic for 3 years. Went om a budget and changed oil back to a conventional. Now not even 24 hours later the car is smoking. Whats up with that?

When I first start my engine when its completely cold, it will stumble and run rough for about a minute of driving. Than as it gets warmed up, it smoothes right out? I've cleaned the throttle body with sensor safe fluid, and have also changed the plugs to Champion Truck Plugs. Any...

HI again. quick oil question. What do the weight numbers stand for? i.e. 5W30.......................is the "5" the viscosity of the oil when fully hot? or is the "30" the viscosity when fully hot. There has been some debate about this. I've heard that multi viscosity oil has polymers in it...

My 98 4.0L is very hard to start after I have shut it down and it sits for a few minutes. It just turns over and over and stumbles a little, but won't catch. Then on the second try it fires right up. Its been doing this for awhile, but recently its getting harder to start. It always starts...

Hi again all, OK, I recently changed my front rotors and pads. Since then I have this "clunk" at low speed braking. 20 mph or under it happens. I've taken off the pads since and I simply cannot find anything wrong. Perhaps the pads weren't exactly to spec. I bought the "wearever" ones for...

OK, some of us were shootin the bull and debated OIL weights. Now, does the oil thicken as it heats up or does it thin. And as an example for viscosity numbers.........10 w 40.....will 40 be its COLD thicker weight and the 10 be its thinner hot weight? Or is it the other way around? The...

Hi all, I need to replace my front axle U-Joints on both sides. You know...the ones with the "inner" C-Clip holding them in the shaft. The ones that are right behind the wheel hubs. Anyway, I went to Parts America here and bought a pair. But the "Caps" look smaller then the OEM Spicer ones...

Hi again folks. Although this has been asked a million times before. I did search and found many conflicting results. So here is what I want to do. Tow an XJ with a Tow Dolly. Tell me if I am on the right track. Drive XJ onto dolly. Secure it with straps. Undo rear driveshaft at rear dif...

I was reading about removing my steering knuckle. Didn't seem too complex. Are there any writeups with photos around? Basically it looks like its just remove the hub locknut and main nut. Remove the 3 bolts holding it to the knuckle. Pull that off. Pull out the axle shaft. Loosen up the...

Anyone using these? Filtermag makes one and its a little expensive. I personally have used 4, 1 inch round Neodymium super strong rare earth magnets around my filter. I have yet to cut open a filter to see if anything got trapped.

I bought a cheap replacement radiator for my 98 XJ 3 months ago. It was 89.00. Plastic tanks, you guys know the deal with those. Anyway, the piece of garbage is starting to develop a slow leak, which I am sure will escalate to a large one, just like the OEM one did. Radiatorbarn.com has 2 row...

I have a 98' Sport XJ Automatic. 4x4 with the AW4 tranny. I want to know the proper way to tow this vehicle on a Tow Dolly. Should I just place it in Neutral on the shift selector? Or place the transfer case in Neutral? Or both in Neutral? Thanks for the replies.

To all you guys that have CB's, whats a good power source to tap into on the XJ? Thanks. Any advice appreciated.

I searched the forum guys, didn't turn up anything. But I have seen it in here before regarding CB mounting locations. I want to buy a small CB radio (Midland/Cobra) something small to use on my trips. But its so hard finding a place to mount it. I was thinking next to the steering column on...
