Thanks for the help!

Has anyone ever had a leak from the oil filter assembly? There is an arm that comes out of the block that bends upward where the oil filter is screwed on. It looks like I have a leak at the base of this arm where it contacts the block. Is there a gasket underneath this assembly? Is that arm even...

I currently have ZJ coils on right now. They ride OK and make the jeep sit level. So in reality my Jeep is closer to a 2 inch lift now.The lift was on the vehicle when I bought it so I'm not sure what he did. If you've got some tips on how to recognize what the previous owner did then I'm all...

I do have a mild lift. It started out as a 3" lift and then the back began to sag so I replaced the skyjacker coils with Grand Cherokee coils to level things out. It does still have the skyjacker lower control arms on it though. I haven't taken the time to check the track bar yet but I will do...

Yesterday my father and I noticed that my right front tire was sticking out of the wheel well about 2 inches more than the left one. It seems the whole front axle shifted to the right. I took a look at my sway bar and I could tell that it too had shifted to the right. I could also tell that the...

I just went through this. My '94 jeep wouldn't start every once in a while. So I took the starter out and had it tested. It tested good. so I tried replacing the battery cable, starter relay etc. No luck. So I had the motor tested again. It tested good again. So I tried cleaning out the solenoid...

A hockey bag with all my smelly stuff in it. My wife doesn't like me to keep it at the foot of the bed....women!

I have a 94 XJ 4.0 that won't start. Let me clarify that. It won't even crank over. I turn the key and nothing happens (as far as the starter is concerned). It won't start in park or neutral. The battery is fully charged and the positive lead that goes to the starter shows that 12.7 or so volts...

Just a quick update. It was indeed the Fuel pump. It had metal shavings in it, so I assume it just gave up the ghost. Everything is back to normal.

To tell you the honest truth you could do it if it was during easter weekend. There are so many people who need parts etc. and are willing to fork out the dough, it wouldn't be a bad idea if you could do it. A free trip is always better. If you really can sell them for $200 bucks, I'll remember...

Thanks for the advice. I'm back down to about 25 psi and the system seems to work alot better (colder air at least). The expansion valve still screams but doesn't seem to do it as much. Can you can guys give me an idea of what ideal operation is supposed to be like? How long should the...

Don't worry..I save the inhaling for the good stuff....metallic paint, modeler's glue etc. Thanks for looking out for my testicles for me though. :)

Well I did a search on this and learned quite a bit but still need some clarification. I have a '94 XJ that has been fitted for R134a. Not sure if it came like that from the factory. I noticed that the A/C took a long time to get cold (about 20 mins. on Max before we were comfortable). So I...

I have skyjacker springs and control arms up front. It's a nice tight lift (no clanging,wobbling, etc.). As far as ride goes, I'm not sure. Mine rides like a tractor, it has hardly any give in the front. I've been trying to figure out if it's the springs or the Rancho 5000's that make it so...

I like Petersen's too and Four Wheel and Sport Utilitly. I've got a cheap subscription to Four Wheeler and don't care for it too much. It's too much show and shine. I also like JP because it's all Jeep and you're guaranteed to find something on XJ's each month, but there's too much crud and boob...
