I have an 01 that I replaced the engine with a 98 ZJ. With the swap I did a speed daddy header. IIRC, I should have 5 total O2 sensors. At this time, I have two in the header. My questions are; Which of them adjust the fuel ratio? How do I tell which is which? Where should all the harnesses come...

Few months ago I put in a 130k mile 98 ZJ engine in my XJ. New timing chain, sprockets, and gaskets. No slack in the rods from what I could tell when I had the pan off. All has been fine for a few thousand miles. Over the last week it has been slowly getting noisier and noisier. At first was so...

Ok, to start, Jeep has always had a sluggish start sometimes. This issue is new and doesn't seem to correlate. Basically a couple of weeks ago I started getting belt squeal on cold start. Goes away pretty quickly. Now Im getting a popping noise or just a noise cause even popping doesn't...

The cheap Chrysler job done on these pillars is ridiculous! Apparently they simply melt the plastic to hold the tabs. This has been broken since Ive had my XJ. Ive tried putting the tabs back on with epoxy. Lasts for a day... Ive dont this twice with Gorilla Glue Epoxy and Loctite Epoxy! Any...

Hi all, I have an 01' with faded needles, they are pretty much white. From what I can tell, the needles are clear and the paint is on the bottom. That said, are the needles removable and what's the recommended way to restore? Id love to make them blue :D As for the LEDs What are ppl doing to...

Can only feel on accel and it is very minimal. It feels like being in too high of a gear. Give it throttle and you will accel but not as fast... Then all of a sudden I get normal power. Again tho, it is very minimal, nearly to the point where I question myself if it is really happening, very...

So only when Im driving on the higher side of highway speeds do I hear a buzzing sound near driver kick panel. Thinking maybe a relay. Found only one near the area; pictured below. Any idea if this could be the source? If so, why and wth does it do? Would like to figure this out before putting...

2001 XJ, 4x4, manual Near rear of block

Ok so shop apparently stripped them and werent even tightened. Irrelevant really cause I wanna replace them anyway. Issue is, I cant find the exact length. I bought a few to try, some 1/4 shorter, others a 1/4 longer than the stock ones. Also, what grade are the Home Depot bolts? Nowhere did...

Suppose I get to finally start my own build thread after all these years on car forums. Think Ill start at the beginning; which will hopefully explain the project name :D So way back I decided I wanted to get back into a Jeep. Something about the 4.0 and good ol' simple, practical, and modular...

While I am swapping out motors, I plan to trade my NV3550 for an AX15. Reason being is that the old TB overheated, broke, and in turn broke the shaft it rode on. My understanding is that the TB constantly rides on the PP finger. This is also the cause of excessive noise. The AX15 does not do...

Have a 98 ZJ (automatic) block going into a 2001 XJ with an NV3550 Not even sure if year matters, just would like to confirm with the fam So what bearing to I need to get and any recommendations on type would be greatly appreciated!

:bawl::bawl::bawl: There couple of small surface marks, one I can feel with the fingernail, but only barely. If emery cloth would work what cloth should I get? Grit? Link to what I need please (Amazon/eBay). Here are some pretty shit pics, best I could do with my phone and lighting. The crank...

Where can I get another? Do auto part stores have them? If so, what is it called? Help section? Broke it of in the block (98 ZJ block).

https://youtu.be/RtTWxmNaqZk Thoughts? 98 ZJ 4.0 block with told 130k miles

Biggest concern; I wanted to rotate the engine a LITTLE. That didn't happen. Rotated, on it's own, till intake and exhaust ports were facing up. Intake ports have a ton of carbon buildup which is pretty damned loose. Should I just go ahead and pull the head, do I need to? I guess I could lap...

Got a 95 XJ that cranks up pretty much instantly and runs. Responds fine to throttle, etc. Does run rough tho Everything I search for leads me to threads that state it instantly dies; mine does not. It will run for about 5 minutes and die. It will not run again till it sits for awhile. Only...

Swapping out my blown engine soon and figure I better think about trans. Good opportunity to replace if necessary. XJ being fixed is an 01 and the parts XJ is a 95. That said, both will be external slave. Here are the contenders; 2001 NV3550 213K Unknown history, but have been using for 30K...

Got a 98 ZJ Im about to put in my 01 XJ. Trying to find out if it's easier to remove engine with trans and case, or remove engine alone. Keep in mind I have a dirt/rock/grass driveway Im working with. Also, that I have an NV3550; so I have a shaft to line up as well. Any tips for any part of...

Looking at swapping a 98 ZJ engine into my XJ. Aside from exaust issues, will the accessories work? I really like the idea of having a belt tensioner instead of loosinging all powersteering pump bolts. Are they the same parts; pumps, AC, alt etc? Also, i do have an elec fan from a volvo i plan...
