Recommended aftermarket temp gauge? I have an engine monitor that can show me the water temp, I would like to have the aftermarket gauge show me the temp from the sender on the head. Can I somehow hookup an aftermarket gauge and keep my current gauge?

My engine monitor says WT° (water temp) is around 170-195 depending on the situation. Dash gauge stays just above 210 but goes to approx 220-230 if I push it on the highway. Does this sound like a case for a new water pump? Just converted my 89 Renix to an open system. New radiator, hoses, cap...

Just upgraded my 89 Laredo to an open cooling system. New radiator, cap (16psi), fan clutch, thermostat, hoses, and coolant bottle. Operating temp appears to be 215 according to the dash gauge. On the highway it creeps to about 220-225. My jeep always gets much warmer when going up long grades...

My TPS has held securely, but the bottom hole is stripped. I can rotate the screw to where it gets tight, then it becomes loose, then tight, so-on and so-on. So, I rotate it to just before it becomes loose in an effort to secure the TPS as much as possible. Haven't had any issues. However, I...

Not sure where to post. I've got a spinning rivnut/nutsert in the body of my XJ, with a bolt inside. Spinning the bolt results in a spinning rivnut. Can I just buzz off as much of the bolt as possible, so it is flush, and drill the rivnut out?

I have an 89 Laredo, need to use a fuse tap on the drivers side fuse panel. Do I need an ATC fuse tap, ATM, etc? I assume ATC. I read somebody saying that's wrong as well, though. So, what tap do I need, or in other words, what kind of fuses does it take?

Having trouble finding a compatible speedo cable for my 89 Laredo. It has cruise control, however it doesn't work. I've heard it's a different kind of cable if it has cruise control. The reason I am replacing is the clip that goes to the instrument cluster snapped. It still works but it's just...

Bought my xj and the previous owner had installed some LED headlights. The headlight switch has two positions. One click and two clicks. Is the first click supposed to be the orange lights up front? I've read about running lights on xjs but never seen much information. When I pull it once, the...

1989 XJ Laredo 4.0L I first heard this noise when I started my car after staying in a hotel en route back from Utah. (I am from SoCal.) It was super cold overnight. It is definitely the longest trip I've ever done with my rig. It went away after driving to a gas station across the street. Didn't...

I'm pretty new to owning a jeep, however I have been around jeeps my entire life with my dad's rigs. I have an 89 XJ Laredo with a Rough Country 4.5 Long Arm kit. I have been debating on the unibody stiffeners. Anybody have any experience using the stiffeners with this kit? I also am low on...
