Ok cool I'll do those checks and I bought a new 4AWG battery cable kit from Kelly Swip I just haven't installed it yet....I want a really good battery I can trust on the trail and at 140k I just kinda figured it may need an alternator but not sure which OEM is the best since there are sooooooo many.

The battery terminal wires are corroded but I got one of those kits from a member on here with upgraded wires and everything just haven't installed it....Maybe I'll look into an alternator too?

So yesterday driving on my lunch break I noticed the "CHECK GAUGES" light on and when I stopped and turned it back on it was off...Fast forward to the end of the day I stopped at the store and when I went back and started the XJ it just died....Hmmm so I started it again and gave it some gas and...

Yea I did a little more digging last night and found out these are the two I need: http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-13122-Oxygen-Sensor-Fitment/dp/B000BZI150/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2Z07EBN7DPQSZ&coliid=I2JZCJ3ANBB6O0...

I don't understand why there are SO many bosch ones, like 6 different upstream ones: http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2001/jeep/cherokee/fuel_injection/oxygen_sensor.html

Oh ok cool! What brand do you guys recommend? I've found bosch for a decent price.

Well I was gonna re-do the cooling system as it appears to have developed a small leak from the radiator overflow outlet on the radiator so that'll be a good time to inspect all the pulley's and everything. I have a feeling it could be the O2 sensors because a lot of people say they can cause...

One thing is different and that's that I put a FRAM oil filter in (big no no I know now) and will change it out for a WIX this week. It just sucks it could be any number of things haha, I don't want to replace the alternator, PS pump, AC condensor, o2 sensors, etc....Is there a good way to...

I'm starting to wonder if maybe the AC condensor is causing drag or something? Whenever I turn on the AC it starts squeeling really bad and is rev dependent but will then stop and the AC seems to work but the engine seems to run rough or something when the AC is blasting.

Yea I've read that before, good article for sure just figured something has to have broken in order to cause such a sudden drop in MPG.....

I'll look into some of that, what brand O2 sensors are best for the money (I have an 2001 so I have 4, don't wanna break the bank too much....)

So I posted a thread a while back about my 2001 XJ dropping MPG after putting on OEM sized General Grabber AT2's. With my old tires I averaged 19-20mpg per tank (this was calculated by filling up, reseting trip, driving and then filling up again and dividing the number of miles driven by the...

I was going to install my Spartan locker in the front of my XJ this week but was wondering if there is anything I should replace while I'm in there? Axle seals, shims, etc? Thanks!

I also want to replace the sparks plugs and all that stuff, what do you guys recommend for spark plugs?

Well I'm leaving on a business trip for almost two weeks so I won't be able to address anything for a bit. I really should just buy new O2 sensors anyway, NGK or Bosch? I'm also going to be re-doing the cooling system and belts so I'll inspect everything then. Maybe run some BF44k when I get...

Do you guys recommend injector cleaner in the tank? Something like BF44k?

I mean something happened within a week of getting the tires, it was averaging 18-19mpg and I'm doing the same drive (mostly highway) so that hasn't changed. I gotta figure this out though because that is a HUGE drop.

I just bought the car and it came with a smog cert and passed fine, if they aren't too expensive I could just replace them to be safe since it has a 135k miles. I do calculate miles per gallon, I fill up, reset my trip, drive till the light comes on, fill up and see how many gallons went in and...

So my old tires were tottaly bald and wore out so I ordered some General Grabber AT2's in 225/75/15 and threw them on. It drives great now (no wobble or shake) but I've noticed my MPG has dropped drastically! I was averaging 300-325/tank and now I am averaging 240-250/tank! Are the grabbers...

What brand water pump do you guys recommend? There are SO many brands that say they are "OEM" I'm thinking right now I'm gonna do CSF 2 or 3 row and all new components throughout.
