I just replaced the IAC valve thinking this was the problem, but it's not there. My XJ starts immediately in normal situations, but the engine just stalls everytime I stop unless I slowly (very slowly) deaccelerate. It does it more when I turn it off and then, after one or two hours start...

The master cylinder is starting to fail (pedal just goes too deep sometimes and when I pump it works fine for a while). I saw a rebuild kit for 25USD at Autozone. Should I go cheap with such a rebuild kit or get the whole master cylinder?

Some time ago I saw a post about an aftermarket master cylinder that can be adjusted to correct some issues with flywheel resurfacing, besides it looked more like the brake master cylinder (better quality). I am rid of the master cylinder in my XJ as it always leaks a little (it really isn't...

I'm just ready to upgrade my rear axle to a D44, and I'm ready to get my 3.5" lift to 5.5". My front fenders are cut out, so I'm positive (at sight) that I will be able to fit 33 tires there only having to adjust the LCAs. However, I'm not 100% sure in the back. The matter is that I don't want...

I have seen that newer XJs have the rear speakers on the roof, but my 88 XJ has them on the hatch. If I drive loaded, sound is terrible, so I'm considering other options. Any idea / pictures / links etc? I don't want anything spectacular, just a decent sound, I'm considering a Sony stereo with 4...

I am needing a carrier for a D44 and 4.1 gearset; what car can I look for in a Junkyard to find the proper carrier?

I am rid looking for a manual window regulator for my 1988 Pioneer, so I'm thinking about moving to power windows. What has to be done? Any experiences on this job? Regards

I'm considering in buying this part for the temperature control of my XJ: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FLX%2D31165&N=700+4294860934+115&autoview=sku I am using a 14" permacool fan and the stock aux fan on my 1988 XJ 4.0; this setup works well, but I feel as if...

The AC of my 1988 Cherokee is not working anymore; I changed the compressor, expansion valve and filter, but now it lost pressure and I'm pretty sure it's the condenser, so I have a few questions about it: 1. The condenser it has only measures like 15" wide, while the radiator is 30" wide; this...

My 1988 Pioneer (4.0 engine) feels like slow under 3000 rpm; when I hit this "breakpoint", it feels as if a turbocharger switches in (maybe not that extreme but it feels much stronger). I'm about to change the distributor rotor, distributor cap, spark plug wires and spark plugs; this should...

So, trying to do the following mod: http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoFuelTank.htm My fuel tank is a 15 gallon one, but I know for sure from the following post, gojeep's homepage and a picture I just took that the 15 gallon tank is nothing else but a limited 20 gallon tank...

I'm looking for D30/D35 carriers that will support 4.1 relation. I have ring and pinion for 4.1, but my XJ has 3.07 so I will need both carriers. They are for a 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0, and I would need a cheap shipping to Mexico, if someone has a good deal I could consider the shippiing cost.

This is a quite easy question, but I just couldn't do it... I read I should use a screwdriver and hammer on the ring counterclockwise, however I hammered quite hard but nothing moves, I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right as I used the Haynes manual as a reference and the picture is quite clear. I...

I just got a set of 4.11 gears for my XJ (D30 and D35). As my XJ has 3.07 gears, I will have to change both carriers. However, these carriers are not easy to find (or let's say, cheap to buy new) here in Mexico, so I'm seriously considering to pick them up at some yunkyard. However, how can I...

My 1988XJ (Renix 4.0) is starting to present trouble with the fuse block. 1. Some months ago, my clutch pedal broke, and it went right on the dome light fuse. The result: broken fuse box and a improvised connection to get the dome light working again. 2. There was a short in the exterior...

I have noticed that the tracbar of my XJ is sometimes hitting the front axle cover. Can this be due to a bad caster or should I consider getting a little more lift to overcome this? Regards

I am having trouble with the rear main seal of my XJ (1988 4.0 Renix). It was replaced a few months ago and it's starting to leak again, so I have some thoughts, let's see if there's something right with them. :D 1. It started leaking a few weeks ago in a whelling trip. Is there something that...

I've been thinking alot about switching gears on my XJ, but my final decision is to get myself some other axles (I run 3.07s), either 3.54 from an automatic model or 4.10 from a 4-cyl engine. Now my question is the following. I think the dream would be to get myself some D30/D44 combo, but I...

My XJ (1988 Pioneer with Renix 4.0 engine) had a bad water pump, so I replaced it and I thought it was time to get rid of my old fan clutch (the clutch was bad and the blades were all bent in different directions). As I had a 14" permacool fan ready to be dropped in, I decided this was the exact...

I'm about to buy a set of shocks for my front end (I have stock shocks with 3.5" lift and it's crap. As I'm planning to lift 1 - 1.5 more inches, I need to buy the right shocks. My optiosn for Nitro RC9000 are: 9127 - for 2-4" of lift 9177 - for 4.5 - 6.5" of lift I would need to know minimum...
