If I wanted to fix it, what would need to be done?

So play in c-clips? Can this be remedied?

I developed a rear end clunk over bumps. I can replicate this noise by shaking the jeep side to side. I had a buddy do this and I went underneath to find the noise. Grabbing all suspect comments the clunk was coming from the drum. I could see the drum moving slightly from the hub. I re torqued...

I have a header and exhaust w/o cats. i doubt exhaust would null the cam. Whats a "Wego" what programs do people usually tune these motors with? thanks.

Finally got around to upgrading the springs to get rid of some nasty valve float. I have a stock bore and stroke motor, 99+intake, header, exhaust on an 98 4.0. looking to do the "4-hole" injector swap and wondered if a larger size injector would benefit my set up. Would a 24lb (0280155849) be...

Thats 1.5 gallons of base or .75gallons reduced 1:1?

I just finished fixing lots of nasty rocker panel rust. Will be respraying the jeep the same color. I plan on sanding the clear and respraying the same color base (2 coats) and 2-3 coats clear. How much paint did you spray after it was reduced. So total paint through the gun. Example took 1...

who makes a compatible cam, or is retrofitting the old style spring and cover the preferred way

were both used in 98? im getting conflicting information, some say 97+ uses the thrust plate, while others say 99-01 uses the plate

Most cam packages are spec'd for up to 1997 model year, mine being a 98. Would this be a problem? any differences that would affect the cam? Thanks!

I will be doing a head gasket here in the near future. 98 xj 4.0 auto 4wd I also plan on doing lifters so it seems like a reasonable time to do a cam swap. I'm an LS motor guy at heart and have done a few cam swaps but never on a jeep. The XJ is my daily winter rig and I'm thinking a few more...

Thanks Tim! If the CPS is failing, would my jeep still run, drive, start, etc just like normal? i'm having no run issues at all.

Anyone else?

If you really wanted a good look, I would drop the oil pan and pop a cap off one of the rods and check how the bearings are wearing. Could also plasti gauge the bearings to see what stage of wear. could also look into the cylinders and check for scoring or excessive wear, check if the cylinder...

I have a 1998 XJ 4.0L auto. Jeep runs drives, and shifts fine. Recently all at once my dash went haywire. The speedo and tach will go to 0, airbag light and check engine light will kick on the rest of the gauges will freeze. If i hit the dash or hit a bump just right every will return to...
