    Shorted ballast, bypass, still no start

    I/m going to say no...but I never noticed it on my xj before...guess I have a quiet one...BUT when I press the schrader valve on the fuel rail, not much comes out, just a dribble for 1-2 seconds. I would expect a squirt at least, but I have never needed to relieve pressure before. I also appear...

    Shorted ballast, bypass, still no start

    I was doing some simple things. My shop light touched an exposed wire to what I think is the fuel pump ballast. near master cylinder, two wires, ceramic. Engine imeddiatly shut off and cranks, but no restart. From bleepnjeeps youtube, I bypassed by connecting wires. Still same. What is most...

    Weird overheating issue. Mechanics couldn't figure it out...

    Don't trust the mechanic on temp. These run hotter than normal cars anyway, so their "hot number" might be normal. ...change the temp send unit with a MOPAR brand. NO NO NO autozone senders.. trust me... did the same thing you did.... threw parts at a "mystery" overheat.... TWO BTW sending...

    How to replace cracked flexplate?

    Since tranny down, I replaced my Torque Converter at the same time.... made sense, just a little extra money. Also, replace the rear freeze plug, since you'll have access if you fully remove the tranny. Lots of threads on this subject.

    Ring on collar of Dana 30 outer stub shaft

    I used pliers and a smaller hammer to bend back into shape. I managed to get them pretty straight. Slow, minor bends will get it close to normal. But as said before, only a dust shield.

    Wires and plugs

    I used the NGK. Good. Then upped the coil to a Accell unit...good. Then, I added Taylor wires... wow... what a difference. It let the voltage do it's thing and the throttle response was noticeable once the wires were on. I did them one at a time for learning/diagnosis reasons. I can't think...

    ripoff artists

    From TeamCherokee.com I paid for and ordered a "CLEARENCE" item, being a headlight conversion kit. I paid about $30.00. Amazing price, right? After a few weeks, they called and said they had oversold and did not have them. But that they were getting more in, just not at what I had paid,but...

    Ball Joint R&R - what do I need to know

    Make sure you get the 4x4 "adapter set with the ball joint service set. Bleep'n Jeeps youtube video on this is very good. I did mine and it's actually pretty easy from a technical standpoint. My 92 XJ Dana 30, the bottom zirk fitting was too tall, so lube it up and put a flat zirk plug in it...
