Thanks, That's what I needed to know. Just looking at the numbers I wasn't sure where the upgrade was. Aaron

So, if I have these: '96-'99 53030778 Grey 49psi 23.2lb/hr I shouldn't worry about upgrading to the 19#EV6? It sounds like they run about the same. Aaron

I've never seen that before. Interesting. Aaron

I'll try the pipe trick as well, I've got a piece of 1/2" conduit I keep in the tool box. Aaron

It's an auto, 140000 miles, holds around 40lbs of oil pressure at all times. I changed the oil a few weeks ago and put in 15w-40 and a quart of Lucas to try and quiet it down. Didn't work. I took it out today and put about 30 miles on it. It does not make the noise when under a load in gear...

OK, I have a rattle in my engine that's perplexing me. Originally I thought it was the alternator, but I replaced that and it's still there. I ran the engine with no serpentine belt and the noise was still there, so it's not in the accessories. I shot a video and am attempting to attach it to...

Sorry it took me awhile to get back on here. The extra material wasn't removed from the bracket. It was removed from the two bosses where the studs go through. It's the dark black area in the pic. That's pre-removal. They needed taken back just a bit to more mirror the profile of the...

One more area that needs some relief ground off: A belt 1inch longer than stock worked great! Aaron

I think I checked to see if they were the same length before I threw it away, but I don't remember if I looked that close. I'm going to the parts store tomorrow and just getting a few longer belts to make sure I have one that works. Just checked the part number it is the correct one for the...

The adjuster is as loose as it will go. I wonder if the parts store gave me the wrong belt in the first place. Hopefully I'm not just putting it on wrong. Aaron

OK, I just installed my new 136 amp alternator today. Complete with 2/0 wire from selarep (They're Awsome!) Now, the only thing I have to do is put the belt back on. The problem is the new stock length belt I bought won't fit. Anyone that did this swap have a part number for the longer...

Which wire did you replace? I'm getting ready to do this and want to make sure I do it right. Aaron

Everyone acts like XJ's are horrible on gas. I bought mine to use as a daily driver so I could leave the 04 Quad Cab Nissan Titan in the garage. It gets about 11 in town! Aaron

If anyone needs a set of the bolts I have an extra. I had to buy a bag of 25 of them from Fastenal. They only sold them in that amount. These are the 40mm. I'd let them go for what I paid $0.68 ea. Aaron

I bought them at the stealership for about $32 each side. The website listed sounds much cheaper, wish I had known about them!! Aaron
