From everything I read here (talk of the center pin fitment etc. , perch measurement, pictures [members and commercial packs too]) I figured the shims go on the bottom of the pack .. which is where I put mine - and they raised the pinion just like they were supposed to. So I'm flipping through...

My Hesco waterpump pooped out after 3 years (well, it started weeping after 3 years, but took another year to get bad enough for me to figure where the drips were coming from, so I guess you could call it 4). I'm going to replace it with one from NAPA, as in retrospect, I see it as a waste of...

Nothing really wrong but thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone had any thoughts. I killed the oil, gas and temp gauges on my '96 by breaking the coil wires (in the gauges) trying to be clever about 2 years ago. At that time, my needles were always solid and accurate. Oil usually...

Guy at work has a '89 XJ I don't have the fsm for (mine a '96). The symptom is a high idle that slowly climbs as the car warms up. His MAP sensor input voltage is 12 volts (!) and I know it should be ~5 The next step would be to make sure someone didn't mess with the harness and check the...

Have a '96 w/ 120k miles 8.25 axle It appears that there is a leak at the driver's rear hardline where it enters the T fitting at the center of the axle. Does the T fitting ever go bad, or do I just need a new hardline? Do I need a new hardline, or can it just be cut and reflared? Should I...

I'm a 30 year old pinko commie pansy with a liberal arts degree. I've always loved taking things apart to find out how they work, though I don't often manage to get them back together :D I think I'm more mechanically inclined than the average housewife or metrosexual, but as my jeep will...

Borked my '96 instrument cluster. Didn't knowingly "break" anything, but had it apart and when I put it back together, gauges don't all work. I figure it's a bad ground or the like, but haven't found any info in the FSM (perhaps in a supplement?) The odometer and spedometer and tachometer all...

'96 110k mi. Having problems with my starter not wanting to turn. Sometimes if I turn the key I get nothing for half a second, then it makes a *very* slow "rrrrrr" - much slower than a dying/dead battery - but then without even sounding like it is properly turning over, voom! it starts right...

This is for RichP who wanted this sort of thing posted :D If it's inappropriate since it's not through a sponsor, sorry. I'm not involved in the deal and probably won't buy one myself, because my jeep already has like 8 unfinished projects going. Just saw it on slickdeals, remembered that...

Looking for a toolbox or toolboxes that are the "killer app" for tool and part storage. Currently have a couple footlockers, a couple of the plastic tub-with-a-tray-on-top typical toolbox jobbies and a couple canvas toolbags. I have enough crap .. er .. cheap chinese tools.. that I should...

Purchased a pair of corbeau sport seats in june/july and they've been sitting in my living room since then, as I didn't want to put them in the jeep until I was done with some other interior work. Bought the adapters too: ready-made adapters were a key reason I went with corbeau and not PRP...

Jeeps on stands and there's a mess in the parking lot. 1. No one anywhere (and I searched) seems to have ever mentioned that the adjusters in the 8.25 can fall out while pulling the carrier, necessitating new adjustment to backlash. I know I am a putz and have bad luck, but if anyone planning...

Searched but didn't find I would have sworn I saw on here that there was a way to test the MAP sensor with a mityvac and an ohmmeter. This may be electrically impossible, but I never took electrical engineering, and from what little I know, in function, the sensor seems to be acting as a...

I've never read anything about any differences, since they went to the longer output shaft in '96, but the car-part interchange doesn't cross reference the '96 with the 97 up. The input gear should be the same, and the output shaft should be the same, so the only thing I can figure is maybe...

Finished my project and have some barrier/comp material left over. It's a 1lb/sqft mass loaded vinyl backed by 1/8" open cell foam. It's similar or identical to the materials sold here: http://www.secondskinaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?pg=4&p=ps http://www.b-quiet.com/vcomp.html ..except that I...

I'll go through the FSM when I get home, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask for any suggestions here. The whole dash has been apart, but I reconnected both electrical connections (and the mechanical blend wire) to the HVAC control unit. I have NOT hooked up the vacuum yet, but I don't see...

After the overwhelming success of my instrument cluster modification *cough*, I felt for sure that "half completed, fully untested" method was the best way to go. Hence, the subwoofer mod: Templates sized for 8.5x11 @ 300dpi so you can print on any old printer. Use a light coat of spray...

The howling is me, dropping the driveshaft flange first on my forehead, but chicks dig scars, and being open-minded about it, I suppose I'm fortunate it didn't take my eye out. Anyway, I have a howling from the jeep, comes on about 20mph, strongest at 35mph, and by 65 it's stopped making noise...

My main concern is a woowoowoo howling noise that seems to be coming from everywhere. I guess I'll have to get someone else to drive while I hang of the bottom like Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear. I verified, by slapping some packing tape on the driver's front tire, that the "woos" occur at the...
