Hi,
So I got a 99 xj RWD a couple of weeks ago and love it. It is approaching 60,000 miles and tune up time. I know that the dealer once changed the rear diff and maintenance was up to date. I changed the rear axle seals (leaks), shoes, pads, rotors and driver side front wheel bearing (timken) and both rear wheel cylinders. With that being said I have a couple of questions.
1) I see that according to the manual its time to replace plugs and wires should the distributor cap and rotor also be replaced as maintenance?
2) it says to drain and refill coolant, is 2 gallons 50/50 enough and should the t- stat be changed as well?
3) When draining and replacing coolant, does the engine need to be flushed? or should i open the block plug or just take the lower radiator hose off the radiator and whatever comes out on its own let it come out with no flushing (and if this is the case should i open the block plug)?
