Any body know where is can buy the bolts for the thermostat housing? I sheered the top bolt off and know I'm having a hard time finding a replacement one.

I have an 88 XJ with the 4.0 and about 245,000 miles on it. I went to pull the thermostat housing off and broke the top bottle, suggestions on how to get the sheared bolt out. The radiator has a small leak some where around the bottom I can see where its wet and it obviously anti-freeze. I'm...

I have an 88 XJ with the 4.0 and for the last little bit I've been having issues with my electrical/charging system. It completely killed my Optima red top, so I replaced it. It worked great for about 3 months then started dying. I talked to Optima they recomeneded using the yellow top instead...

Thanks for all the info, I'll keep everything in mind. I wasn't aware of the zinc/ZDDP issue, so that is something new to me and good info.

I have a 1988 XJ 4.0L with somewhere over 250000 miles(the odometer stopped working around 245000 miles). I have been using a fram oil filter and pennzoil 10w30. I was just wondering what other people are using as far as oil filter and oil brand. Also wondering with it being 20+ years old and so...

I have 35's on there now. I would like to keep that size, if possible. It currently has the stock 35c rearend with 4.88 gears. I bought it with an 8" lift and everything already done. I've thought about going with the chrysler or ford explorer axle. I just wasn't sure what the best option would be.

I have to questions. 1: I have an 88 XJ with an 8 inch long arm lift. I'm thinking about getting new shocks and would like some suggestions on what to possible get. 2: I saw an 88 XJ were they left the D30 front axle in and swapped the rear D35 with a D44. I was thinking about changing my...

I'm new to the Jeep game and recently bought an 87XJ already lifted and set up. I have some questions and looking for some adivce on how to fix issues I'm already having. Anyone can reply, but I'm looking for someone in my area that is willing to meet up and actually look at the Jeep and give me...

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if I was missing something or if it was a sealed bearing. Yeah I'm sure I wouldn't want to try to replace just the bearings, it would be to much of a PITA. I guess I need to talk to the parts store tomorrow.

I was just wondering if any one could tell me if the bearings in the hub of a Dana 30 are able to be removed and replaced. The diagrams I've seen show it broke down and able to orders just the bearings and seals, and that's what I did. I took my hub off, but it looks like all one piece. The guys...

Thats what I figured but I thought I would ask. Thanks

I have an 88 XJ with a Dana 30 front axle. My driver side bearing went out, I'll have the new parts on tuesday, and i was trying to take everything apart now, so all I had to do was put it back together tuesday night. I ran into a problem though. I pulled out the 3 bolts on the back and the 1...
