your 93 will bolt right in. If it has the same gear ratio, then you are good to go. An easy way to compare is, mark the axle shaft or pinion yoke then block the jeep (to keep it from moving) put the transfer case in neutral jack the drivers side wheel up and spin the tire exactly one full...

Sounds like you had multiple problems and you have most of them solved. If both top and bottom hoses are getting hot then you have solved the first problem of getting hot coolant to the system. The next step is making sure the blend door under the dash is working properly. It sounds like it...

wow way too many words for me. Started reading, got bored, then got hungry. Came back read some more, then retired...from work....then finished. Lets try pictures. They're way more funner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZmsY2YvVsc The music is good too. And you can click on the blue...

Rich mix means unburned fuel from either too much fuel or no spark in one cylinder. Your red hot CAT confirms this. (I had a floor catch fire in an old Firebird from a spark plug wire coming loose on a long trip.) your symptoms sound exactly like mine did. In my case it turned out I had 2 plug...

It's a 91 xj with a 99 axle running 31" tires.

Axle made a loud "crunch" and shortly after I heard a noise whenever I unloaded the drive train such as coasting to a stop. As long as I had my foot on the gas I had heard nothing. This sounded like a pinion bearing to me but as I started to take the axle apart I found 3 bolts snapped off. I...

I had this same issue years ago. I went ahead with it and have not had a problem

sounds like a proportioning valve

A quick check to see if it may be a 'dead spot' in the fan motor--- turn the fan on, roll up the windows and slam the back hatch...hard... the resulting pressurizing of the cabin area can move the fan motor off of the dead spot (this dead spot is usually caused be one coil going bad)

The IAC does not take in air from a secondary inlet. That means if you block off the only hole the engine is sucking air in from (the throttle body) the engine will die. I had similar symptoms to yours in my 91. I can't remember what the part was called, but it was a vacuum operated valve...

I have this same problem turn it to run and the wiper move a little and stops, moves more and stops. It looks like the relay because when I put it in wash mode it moves fine. can anyone help?

Whatever you do, just make sure it's secured. An 80 pound tire flying around in the cab during an accident on the trail or the road will kill you at surprisingly slow speeds.

Will it pass a safety? Would love to see the look on the maechanics face. The cat looks very distraught

Could be a blown head gasket, the symptoms you describe are exactly what happened to a guy I know, (can’t call him a friend, cause I can’t stand him…but that’s another story) This is easy to diagnose Check the coolant for low level or oil and check the oil for milky contamination. If any of...

I obeyed Jes and the 32 mm worked fine on my 8.125
