I need to replace an oem radiator in a 95 ZJ 4.0L. Mopar OE p/n for the 95 ZJ is 52028379 runs ~$208.00 plus ~$40.00 shipping from Mopar Giant. Mopars OEM radiators now use plastic tanks. I'm not certain what happened to their metal tank radiators, which I've purchased in the past both OEM...

That's not normal. It' means the PCM and VSS is sensing a battery disconnect and then reconnect. It happened when I left my doors open for a full day. I assumed the battery had become low and then connected a charger for a few hours and it didn't occur after charging up the battery. I...

I have a 95 ZJ Limited with an OEM passive security system and was helping a friend work on his Jeep, with my rear hatch open for access to tools, etc. The entire day the rear hatch was opened and I went to start the ZJ at the end of the day and the headlights started flashing and the engine...

There's an axle vent bolt on the rear axle that secures a four way T onto the axle. I've come across two oem part numbers and wondering if their the same bolt Part # 4137696AB SCREW, Brake Tee, .437-20x2.07, Axle Vent and Brake Tee, Mounting Suppose to fit a 1987-1996 JEEP CHEROKEE My...

Yeah, once I pull the carpet I'll be able to better determine any uni-body rust problems. Looking underneath from the underbelly it doesn't appear to be any rust damage. There were areas that looked new when I first purchased the XJ back in O7 however it's possible rust has creeped into the...

I'll have to see how bad it is. I use to work in the shipyards and worked with different gauge metals from lighter to up to 3 inch. The metals used on road vehicles is very thin in comparison so there's less to work with when it comes to damage and rust. What the automobile manufactures do in...

Yeah if it had any frame rot I'd probably junk it or use it as a donor vehicle. I already inspected the uni-body and it's doesn't appear to have any significant rust issues, including the floor panels, doors, sub frame, etc. There are a few (approx. 6) minor rust problems in the unibodt roof...

I have a 98 XJ where many of the front axle mounts and brackets have significant rust. One LCA mounts rusted off and the other one rusted very thin. So I welded on a new one for the one that broke off. After inspecting the front axle, steering and suspension I found another front Dana 30 axle...

I installed a Wix coolant filter kit higher in the engine compartment without any shut off valves inline to the heater core inlet. There was some improvement after performing before and after electrolysis testing, using a dmm.After installing the coolant filter the coolants dmm voltage...

Do you have any more specific details of the relocation, how and where the angle brackets are actual mounted to the engine block and alternator? I've seen this type alternate mount in the past but unable to remember details. ______ My AC was removed and replaced using a bypass pulley. I've...

I've looked at a few XJ and CJ rigs with higher lifts, the steering, suspension and axles were replaced. Axles are sometimes replaced with D60's to D80's or similar size axles creating a wider wheelbase. I would prefer to invest on skid plates for a closer to stock XJ. Some older framed 4x4...

It was several years ago and remember using an ATP gasket. Description shows it as a rubber/steel gasket. (composition of rubber and steel fibers) https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=64698&cc=1315943&jnid=434&jpid=0

The transmission filter is more of a screen than a filter. There's a drain and fill maintenance schedule at ~30,000 & ~12,000 miles but no maintenance schedule for a transmission "filter" or screen. After once pulling the transmission pan for inspection there wasn't much residue on the bottom...

Some fuel injector flow ratings from online don't always match. I've had fuel injector sellers (some in the fuel injection business more than 20 years) provide me with different & higher flow ratings from their Bosch book. e.g. 0-280-155-784 __ 21.3 lb/hr _ (@43.5 PSI) __ 223.9 __ 161 __...

I would just swap out the sensor for the one with a stud terminal. OEM has individual plug connectors for an OEM harness? or you're talking after-market? I suppose they did at one time or at least use to have a source for them. Older vehicle aftermarket and OEM often have parts only if...
