99 XJ SE 4.0 AW4 stock BACK STORY: Drowned my jeep, water over the hood, and up to the bottom of the center console. Drove it home the next day, sat for a year, pulled motor and put new motor in, sat for another year. Got life situated and started working on it. Went to fire it for the first...

I had a ranger once that had a tap/knock, pulled motor and the crank was cracked. Doubt that's your issue but you never know, could be anything

The problem is, the balls were coming out of where the worm gear goes into the piston, not the router holes. So literally the bottom side of the piston

I trust you. My dad measured before and said they were the same but he didn't measure all of them. I just checked myself and got 7.14mm and 7.16mm... So should I put the bigger ball in first on the bottom side of the piston? Assuming the bigger diameter keeps it from rolling out of the piston

I'm guessing this is my issue, I have the box completely together and I was putting the pitman arm on and they spit out. I think I need to check the balls again, I used a micrometer before and they all were the same size so I must have been wrong, I will check to see if any are too big to come...

I rebuilt my Saginaw steering box in my 99 XJ, or at least I thought I did. When I put the worm gear in, I feed the bearings into the piston and as soon as you turn the gear they spit out the back end of the piston, am I only supposed to feed them into the one side (top side)? Either way they...

just a random bit of stuff I have cluttering the garage. factory electric fan, was going to swap the mechanical fan out but exhaust valves started leaking and decided I had bigger issues. stock coil springs, they have about 330k miles on them so they should be pretty soft. rear sway bar (yea I...

I have an ECU from a 2000 cherokee, 4.0 AW4 believe it was an NP231 if that matters. cant use with an older XJ cause they switched to coil packs in 2000. pm me or email me [email protected], better chance of reaching me by email. make a reasonable offer.

if he patches it and only uses it as a spare so be it. I doubt this would really cause a blow out, and if so, I really wouldn't mind driving next to him. I have confidence that I could avoid a collision...gotta pay to play, but sometimes you have to made due with what you have, look at Burt...

i say let him do what he wants with his tire..

looking for a 4.0 head from a 99, as long as it has the casting code 0630 and it is in good shape and reasonably priced, I'm not exactly wanting to have it resurfaced so nothing warped. and nothing that is rusted to hell and back. a good clean 0630 head. shoot me a price and we will talk (amc...

pix? assuming it isn't the cheap plastic one right?

IMO popular vote doesn't matter anymore. congress has shown they are voting against what the pop. vote is lately...they are doing what they want. just my opinion though.
