Overheating can cause head warping. On YouTube, I found an ingenious way to resurface a head w/o paying a machine shop their exorbitant fee for resurfacing. Best of all, you can do it in your own driveway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRp0UfaYNlM

I would like to convert my transmission cooler from the stock one that uses the engine coolant to one that uses forced as well as AN lines and fittings running to and from the transmission / cooler. I'd really like to find a complete kit, but my search skills are moderate at best. Anyone...

If your output shaft speed sensor on your AW4 fails, it will set not just a code, but several that point fingers at two of the solenoids as well as other false stuff. Don't ask me how I know -- but it did take me a couple of weeks to learn to ignore the false codes. And was there a need to...

No, this is not a belated April fool's joke! Even tho it sounds like one. When I start my '98 XJ, 4.0L, AW4, 4wd, the airbag light comes on momentarily, goes out after a bit, then comes back on after about a minute pause, stays on for another four or five minutes then goes off. But that's not...

Get in my otherwise splendid '98 XJ when it's been driven that day and the airbag light comes on, ya start the engine, and w/n 15 seconds or so, it goes off. Get in that puppy after he's been sitting all night, and the airbag light stays on for about a mile or so, then goes off and all is well...

Steering wheels for the '97 and '98's are different from the '00-'01', insofar as the airbag cover and cruise switches are concerned. The cruise switches are different between the early and later ones at least in a mechanical fit sense. Does anyone know whether they are different in an...

Before I start grinding away, does anyone have set-up bearings for the Dana 30 carrier and pinion that they would care to loan to me. I'm happy to post a deposit for their safe return. Or for that matter, I'd be happy to buy yours if lending is not your thing. Um, if you don't know what I'm...

Did anyone ever manufacture sliding or otherwise opening rear windwos for XJ? Not the hatch window, the ones above the rear quarters.

I have an XJ front axle, Dana 30, of unknown year. Need to replace the rider's side axle shaft, but I hear stuff about a large U-joint and small u-joint. How can I tell which I have? Is there a measurement I can take to assure that I shop for the right piece? And, of course, thanks in...

This is actually a lug nut / wheel adapter question. I have a set of JT Gladiator wheels and tires on my lifted XJ. Everything is cool with one exception: I also have the JT lug nuts. They sport 14mm threads NOT 1/2' QUESTION: does anyone know of a 4.5 to 5x5 adapter that has 14mm studs...

Referring to the vacuum-operated CAD (center axle disconnect) What was the last year for that feature on XJs?

'98 XJ with 2" lift already installed, but with my new Gladiator 17" wheel take-offs, things are a bit tight. This is a daily driver, by no means a rock crawler. So: Aesthetically, I really like a 3" lift. I'm neither a Diamond Jim nor starving undergraduate, so recommendation re a 3" lift...

I have come by a set of 2020 Gladiator wheels and tires, 17". Aside from the 4.5 to 5X5 bolt pattern adaptors, what happens if I bolt 'em on my poor ole 2" lifted XJ?

'98 XJ, 2" cheapie lift. I have come by a set of new JK 5X5 wheels and tires. 17". Aside from the necessary 4.5/5 to 5/5 adaptors, can I mount on my otherwise stock XJ. I don't know what this means, but I like it: :flamemad:

'98 4.0 L New oil pump, no oil pressure. I didn't prime the pump. Fortunately, I have the whole front end stuff -- steering, axle, everything, out from under the XJ, so taking the oil pan back down is not a huge deal. Nothing's in the way. However, if there's an easier way to wake the...

"Late model" trans with input shaft speed sensor, with about 100k on the trans. Get in the Jeep crank 'er up, put 'er in first or reverse, as appropriate, and I gotta bring 'er up to about 3500rpm to get it to shove off. Almost immediately after we get goin', it shifts normally through all...

No proprietary interest in the product, just a note to say that the installation was straight forward and uneventful. Since I either can't or don't know how to post a picture of the installation (w/o paying some service to host my images) here's an ebay link to the product, with which I am...

YES! I have read every word of the excellent "everything you wanna know about the AW-4". Wish I had read it much earlier in the game. ($1500 ago.) But the following question remains: QUESTION: Will the output shaft of my 2000 AW-4 mate with the input shaft of my '97 NP-231? The output...

'98 XJ sport, automatic,2wd (with transfer case*) 4.0L, naturally aspirated, Green. I've owned it for about three months. After behaving quite normally, the odometer went completely dark. I can't tell whether it's loss of illumination, or if the device just quit. No other instrument faults...

Box stock '98 XJ 2wd. 4.0L Installed '98 AW4 with np231. Lifted Jeep 2" with pucks in front, stiffer leaf aft. Wedges between leaf springs and axle pads supposedly good for 2" lift. (correctly mounted with thick part toward the back of the jeep.) Angle between engine and drive shaft is...
