Missed this thread before. Anyway, I'm Jim up in Juneau, Alaska. Rig is a 98 Cherokee 4.0 Sport that was front-end-totaled so the PO replaced the 98 front with an 89 front. Engine was saved and is strong. Didn't run and had various issues when I picked it up for pennies. Now it runs strong...

So it sounds like the fan (blower motor) is not running at any setting regardless? Or is it running but you're not getting any air? If the voltage to the fan is good, either the fan will run or the fan is bad. Did you try to remove the blower and power it up on a bench to see if the fan is good?

Bought new floor mats...winter is a' comin'!

Don't like the jacket.... needs a hood to be useful up here.

What do you gusy Outside consider dropping like a rock? Gas here has "fallen" to $4.01 for reg UNL.

I have a friend who runs them on his Dodge RAM 1500, but mainly as a street tire. They don't look like wheeling tires, but good for street/snow.

Siphon out the gas tank and use that stuff in your lawn mower. Disconnect the fuel line at the gas tank, and use a really low pressure air to blow out the fuel rail (you can remove the valve core from the Schrader valve). Reconnect everything. Then refill with new gas (5 gals should do it)...

Found that my cigarette lighter fire had melted some of the vacuum hose harness that runs the "I don't want defrost-only" doors. I cut out the two sections thinking it would be an easy splice-fix but man-o'-man did they use tiny vacuum hose. NAPA had nothing like that. I got the next...

Did the power window lock switch bypass trick with a wire EZ-tap. Worked great. 15 minutes done. Eggs-cellent!

Check the distributor rotor for signs of a burnt rotor end trying to contact weld itself.

Ran it, yelled at it, and added a few new parts like rear liftgate bumpstops to get the rear to quit rattling. All the electrical stuff that wouldn't work the other day now works just fine. Argh!

I just did my 98 4.0. It has to be dropped completely. Sounds like your strainer may be clogged or is picking up debris. If it was the filter on top, you'd have poor fuel pressure ALL the time. Pretty easy job to drop the tank and remove the fuel pump. Only a few sailor words were needed.

That's only addressing the symptom, not the problem and is a patch-it fix that may not always be available. Overkill, I think. If the problem started right after adding the skid plate, then obviously I'd remove the skid plate and see if the problem went away, and then troubleshoot how the...

Got in some new parts, but MNF rules so those will be tomorrow's quest.

The dealer has the j-bolts, and so do many of the online places: http://www.teamgrandwagoneer.com/parts/XJ_Parts/Hardware/index.html
