Anyone else report that they can't get to giveawayxj.com? My Eset anti-virus is absolutely convinced that I shouldn't go there, lol! It blocks the site and then gives me this for the reason why: Access to the web page was blocked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. The web page is on the list of...

Well...ummmm....this is just odd. Power locks are now working beautifully, although I have done absolutely nothing except put my driver's seat back in so I could make a trip to NAPA for pop rivets. Still seems like my charging system isn't charging like it was less than a week ago, and I now...

Voltage at battery is 13.4 running, 12.5 not running. Sounds normal to me. I just took the driver's side controls out, thinking I'd try swapping in a spare set I have. Anything I should check on either one/both beforehand? Figured the switch shouldn't draw power, and therefore I have a short...

Hello all, Ok, I've had this gremlin in my electrical system for...let's just say quite a while. Mainly, it's been that I have to leave my power window lockout button in the "locked" position or none of the windows work at all. I had the classic problem with my power locks, but that's been...

Well, I bought the alternators advertised as 180 amp and I use a 1.75" diameter pulley on it. It lacks a teeny bit at idle, but at 1200 rpm and above, it seems to do alright (like you said). And I just found another possible donor...a '98...that I could probably get anything I needed from (I...

I will agree that the CS130 is a bad unit. Granted, it could also have been placed MUCH better than it was on my '87 XJ. I mean, come on...put the alternator lower than any other accessory on a 4x4 vehicle?!!? Doi!! This is why I have always kept a spare, high output (180amp...have a stereo...

I've done this myself easily with 100% success. Just follow the directions carefully and you should have your locks slamming open and closed. Here's Greg's writeup and a .jpg diagram: Power Door Lock Fix for Reluctant Locks on Pre 1991 Jeep Cherokees (for post 90 models with a similar problem...

No need to create a new event for the X-Games :laugh:,. I'd say just listen for the next time you notice hearing the noise you're talking about, roll all your windows down (if you have to - I know I don't, mine makes enough noise to hear quite easily) and see if that helps you localize where...

What rear axle do you have? On my '87 XJ, I have a TruTrac diff in my Dana44 that does that when going slow, usually just after turning a corner (actually more of a CLUNKING than a clicking, but still a noise). If you've got a factory tow package with a factory upgraded diff, that might be it...

For those of you that have PaceSetters installed, are any of them the ArmorCoat ones (hi-temp ceramic coated, supposedly)?? I have an '87 with another cracked stock manifold, and was thinking about the ArmorCoat'ed PaceSetter. Might the fit/finish be any different on these as opposed to the...

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks fix - blowing relays Ok, I'm not sure if I'm the only one this is happening to, but probably so... :rolleyes: My locks have worked fabulously since doing this mod, except for the fact that the relay that's wired to the "LOCK" side of the circuit has blown (I...

Well, ok...I did upgrade all the wiring in my charging circuit to 4 gauge and added a 100 amp fuse. :lecture: Pyro

I got a bit tired of having the 4 Hella Jumbo 220s on my roof and the Cibie Super Oscars on my front bumper (as well as my stereo) killing my alternators, so I was very happy when I found a great guy on eBay who sells hi-amp alternators at great prices. Got a 200 amp for my '87 XJ with a one...

Re: Greg Smith Power door locks writeup SUPER DUPER!! Greg, you never cease to amaze, do ya? :clap: Gonna try this tonight or tomorrow. I'll let ya know how it works out. Thanks once again! Pyro

WOO HOO!! Thanks guys!! I was hopin' for a little from you, Dr. Dyno, but that "prescription" of yours is GREAT! I actually already have a Catco Cat on the way...should be here today or tomorrow, I think. I also just put my new GDI 3-row radiator (from XJ Armour) in and that seems to have...
