I have a 90 XJ with the 4 liter.
Alright first of all, I just did the thermostat in my truck, except I didnt put one in so it runs cooler. It still has an overheating problem. Are there any places I should start looking first? I've been told its the water pump, but I'm positive that it works since the first time I did the thermostat the gasket gave and it was blowing coolant everywhere within seconds.
Second is a little more serious. One of my mounts for the lower control arms, on the driver side, completely busted off the axle due to rust. The truck wanders and the dive when braking is almost unbelievable. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I had just planned to weld a couple of plates to the axle and drill some holes. If I were to go that route, how would I make sure the axle is centered? Would it be alright to measure center to center of the rims on the passenger side, then make sure the measurements the same for the driver side?
