Another pic, showing the seating surface of the rotor. As you can see, both the new and old have the same thickness. Manuel

Hey CheapXJ, I have some answers for your questions. I just go the disks I ordered. They fit perfectly. They are Raybestos PG Plus P/N 76923. These have an overall height of 3 1/16 . They are ALL CAST. The 1999-2001 XJs came with both the composite rotor and all cast rotor. Theses rotors...

I have a 99 XJ with 4WD(command trac) and 4.0L engine, auto trans. When I accelerate hard from a stop, I get this clunking/rattling sound as I accelerate. It goes away after a second of acceleration. I thought maybe it had to do something with the front driveshaft or u-joints(just guesses). I...

I'd say to check the vacuum lines and find out what the fuel pressure is that the regulator is providing. Good Luck. Manuel

The fuel pressure regulator might be bad.(allowing too much pressure to the injectors, so you're running rich) Your oxygen sensor could be bad also. You could have a vacuum leak too. Check the hoses and connections to the MAP sensor. Replace any cracked or hard hoses. Manuel

Did you just move up to the 33" tires? If you did that and didn't recalibrate your speedometer, that would mean you're covering a lot more miles than your odometer shows. Manuel

In the last 2 months or so I've noticed that my fuel gauge goes down quite a bit quicker than it used to. From previous experience, I knew that when the needle was at the half full point, that I had 10 gallons of gas in it.(20 gallons for full tank) Well, that's not true anymore. The needle...

I'll let you know. I ordered them online.(they are Raybestos) I should get them on Tuesday. Mine measured 3 1/16 also. The 3 3/16 rotor is available from most of the auto parts stores. That part number rotor is used from 1995(I believe) up til 2001. From 1999 to 2001 though, there are 2 part...

From the specs I looked up, the 3 1/16 rotor is an all cast rotor. The 3 3/16 rotor is a composite rotor. I'm attaching a couple pictures of the last set of rotors that the guy gave me. These are all cast. These didn't fit either. The center hole was just a tad small. It looks very...

Well, the 2nd set of rotors that the guy gave me still didn't fit. I went back and told him that AND that I wanted a refund. The guy was really mellow about it this time. He said that he was going to find out what part number my XJ uses and order some of them to have them in stock. He said he...

Argument with Brake specialist Well, I went to get my rotors turned at a local place that specializes in only brake parts. These guys have rotors and drums all over the place. BTW, my 99 XJ had cast discs. They were not composite type. Well, the guy checked the rotor and said that the rotor...

I have the Chrysler 8.25, no ABS, 9 inch drums

I have a 99 XJ with 4WD, command trac. 3 1/16 overall height disks. How would a cast disk and a composite disk look different, or do they look the same? The vibration when braking is annoying. I have a hard time understanding how resurfacing the disk could get rid of warpage. I figure if the...

Another possibility is that you need new spark plugs. Worn spark plugs will give hard start symptoms. Beware of Bosch Platinums. I had them for about 30,000miles. At about the 30,000mile mark I thought I had a fuel pump problem because the XJ would not turn on, on the first attempt or it...
