Hey guys, been a while since I posted on here but I am looking to see if there is any ounce more of performance I can squeeze out of my otherwise stock brakes. Quick run down of my 97 XJ brake setup: Front - entirely stock with the exception of ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors (my...

I have a 1997 XJ 4.0 Auto 4x4 and I recently replaced everything in the A/C system except the compressor. Holds pressure fine, compressor working perfectly and the readings on the gauges are exactly within spec. But the air in not COLD. It’s cool, but not cold. This Jeep had great A/C back in...

Hey guys, been a while since I was on here. So my uncle brings his 99 XJ Sport 4x4 Auto 4.0 to me for work that needs to be done to it. Recently he brought it to me with an intermittent gauges situation. I think its the usually dirty contacts so I pull the gauges and clean the contacts, put a...

So my 97 XJ has been plagued with a running hot issue since 2011. I had a CSF 3 row brass radiator for 7 years up until 2011 before temps began to creep up and I discovered it leaking. I made the mistake of trying an all aluminum "performance" 3 row radiator from Champion. Went through 5 of...

I have a 97 XJ with the Infinity Gold amp and I was curious if anyone knew what the specs were on it? Trying to figure out if it is worth the hassle to upgrade. I am not necessarily unhappy with it but just wanting to satisfy some curiosity.

Hey Guys I wasn't sure where to post this since to get a good response so forgive me if I posted in the wrong section. So my 97 XJ has the Viper 791XV Alarm + Remote start in it. I had it installed in 2004. Gifu Buys did the install so obviously I can't go there to have them look at it because...

I have a 97 XJ and I am almost certain the internal check valve in the Vac Canister is failing. My HVAC defaults to defrost under load or high RPM. I searched and searched for a replacement online and the Dorman 47077 appears to be identical but no sites list it as a match! In fact, no parts...

My 97 XJ is having vacuum issues. Everything is fine at idle or low RPMs but the second my foot gets into it under load, vacuum seems to drop out and my HVAC defaults to defrost. Since I am on 33s with 3.55 gears, the Jeep is basically under load all the time. This is annoying because I get hot...

I have a 97 with the outside edge of my driver seat cushion very deteriorated. I took it to a local upholstery shop and they did their best adding padding back but they said the original foam was so far gone that there wasn't much they could do. They recommended getting new factory foam. I have...

97 XJ Country Auto 4x4 3.5" RE Lift on 33x12.50 KM2s Engine has basic bolt on mods, K&N cold air intake, 99+ Mopar intake manifold, Banks header, 703 injectors, Magnaflow high flow cat, Flowmaster 50 series muffler. My 97 has had this issue for years but now I feel like it happens much more...

My 97 XJ doesn't like anything aluminum in the cooling system. I went through 8 aluminum radiators in 4 years before switching back to brass. An Aluminum heater core didn't make it 8 months before springing a leak. The guy at the radiator shop that found me a copper heater core said I likely...

Does anyone other than Mopar make a copper or brass heater core for for a 97-01 for a decent price? Mopar runs near $400!!!!! I put in a Spectra aluminum one and I think it already sprung a leak after only 8 months! Yeah it has a warranty but for god sakes I don't want to do that horrible...

So my 97 XJ has a new out of nowhere problem. I turned on the heat this morning because it was actually pretty cool out this morning here in Georgia. I usually leave it on setting 3 for the blower and I realized there was no air coming out. I switched it around to the other settings to discover...

Pictured below is what my 97 4.0 is running at versus what the gauge is reading. The sensor is only a couple months old and is a brand new Mopar sensor. I had a store bought sensor that read just a little higher. How do I fix this to get the gauge to read correctly? Is the old wiring causing the...

Both my 97 XJ and my wife's 02 WJ have all the original steering parts. Both have over 200,000 miles on them so they are very due for a change. Because both are in need of a change I am not in the position to use the top tier Moog brand. I have to make the money stretch to get both done and...

Ok so my 97 has an aftermarket unit and the factory infinity sounds system. I did not bypass the infinity amp so the speaker in the door is still powered by it. Now I did the removable door mod so I installed some cheap speakers up under the dash and those speakers are tapped into the wires...

Ok so my 97 XJ keeps popping fuse #11 in the fuse panel inside the cab. The fuse is for the ignition run/start. Well this fuse pops and the Jeep dies instantly. The worst part is this happens when I turn left to cross traffic in a hurry so this is a major safety hazard!!!! I am afraid that one...

So my 97 XJ still has its factory steering with 272,000. It really has needed to be replaced for about 4 years now. I have been looking at everything I can do from mild to wild. After looking at options, considering budget, and intended use the UTK Chevy One Ton option is my best bet. Now I...

Ok so my 97 XJ is still running the 19 year old all original steering with 271,000 miles on it. Turning my 33s is less than stellar to say the least. I want to upgrade to something stronger, spend less than $350, and be fairly simple to install i.e. no moving of the track bar bracket or sway bar...

A couple of months ago the ignition switch went bad on my 97 XJ. I have had the Jeep for 14 years and that was the first time it went bad. It was fine and then poof! One day it just quit starting. I had no troubles leading up to that point. I went through a series of tests to figure it out and...
