I just replaced all of the freeze/casting plugs on a Dodge2500 I recently bought (had one of the plugs on the rear of the block leak which required tranny pull) and I put brass freeze plugs back in instead of the steel ones. I'm hoping they will last longer than the steel ones. probably not...

thanks for the responses saki669 - when you mounted the tow bar bumper brackets to the hitch, did you drill thru the front of the hitch and use the bolts that came with the brackets or did you drill thru both sides of the hitch and use longer bolts to mount the brackets? a pic would be great...

looking at 2 setups for my 1992 XJ. need to tow it to colorado from virginia and also would like to get some recovery points on it at the same time. I am looking at the Tomken Tow Plate with reciever and also a Drawtite front hitch. hooking up either one to my tow rig with the tomken universal...

okay, thanks I was thinking any play would be a sign of worn transfer case. I was confused b/c I have a NP207 in another truck that I just removed before I send it to the crusher and that transfer case has 234K on it and is equally as loose on the shaft but does not make the same noise (at least...

92 XJ AW4/NP231 155K I have a creaking sound coming from the transfer case area on my 92 XJ when accelerating from a stop (more often when also turning left and accelerating from a stop) that I thought was a U-joint going so I replaced both U-joints in the rear driveshaft but the sound is still...

sounds like internal leak at the master. brake fluid gets past the seal inside the master and reduces the effective volume of the hydraulic system. you know there is a little plunger inside the master and when it is old and worn the edges of the seal don't hold and fluid gets past. in the past...

88xj has R12 in it unless converted to R132. it wouldn't be cost effective to get the certification and hunt down some cans of R12 on Ebay just to find your leak. if the system is empty there won't be any pressure to leak out. you can use one of the inert gasses to put pressure in the system...

thanks for the responses I used a wire brush and scrubbed the rust away and did not find any holes, gets thin but no holes so you guys are saying its not bad and i can POR15 the underside on the seam in the first picture?? do the top in the cabin and then use some more POR on the underside to...

discovered this under the carpet. found lots of info on fixing rust from searching but nothing that addresses what needs to be done about this support on the underside. it looks like that is where the water came in to cause the rust around the seat bolts. it is totally in the way of cutting the...

thanks for the tips! it looks like the moisture came in thru the bottom where that crossbrace is mounted to the unibody, which is why I am asking about removing that crossbrace or other suggestions on what to do. scrape and POR on the top was my plan but I am wondering if water still gets in...

pulled the seats and carpet up on my 92 XJ to see what was going on and the only rust I found was at the rear 2 of the 4 seat mounting bolts on the drivers side. the area around both bolts is starting to get ate up with rust but no holes yet. everything else looks to be in good shape (in the...

finally went to the yard and figured some things out on the different rear defroster configurations on 1st gen XJs i found 3 different setups (ina jeep??? go figure!) older style around 88: defroster switch has 4 connections switch goes up for on and down for off relay in rear hatch my style...

just got the build sheet for my 2001 XJ back and it states GFAS - Rear Window Defroster so that possibly means my 92 did not come from the factory with the rear defroster. now is the pink plug used for the defroster switch on models that came with rear defroster? or will i need to add...

1992 XJ 4door still trying to get my rear defroster working. I just got the build sheet from the jeep web site and it lists GEDS - Tinted Rr Drs/Qtr/Liftgate Glass which are not tinted on mine but the defroster wiring is in the glass and hooked up in the hatch. could not find any of the...
