Today I heard and felt un-rhythmic knocks when going through large radius turns slowly. I.e. on a windy road with slow traffic probably less than 5mph. My XJ does have a limited slip diff, is this a normal feeling? It does kinda feel like it could be the limited slip clutches slipping. I've...

I was wondering if anyone know if there is a difference between a seat from an 87 and an 88? I ask because I am looking into leather upholstery kits and for some reason the year range on the kit is 88-94. This is the case with two different companies. Thanks

Has anyone experienced or worried about this? I was going to weld a chain onto it and around the crossmember. Do you think I'm worrying about nothing or will it cause me some sort of trouble down the road?

It fluctuates from just below the white line on the left of the needle to just under the red area. The gauge sensor is new and I checked it's resistance at ~100*F and it's on spec. A thermocouple placed on the thermostat housing inbetween the hose and housing reads from 90-95C (194-203F). Just...

I recently started up my 87 4.0L Renix after refreshing it 6 years ago. It went and passed smog like it was a piece of cake. I think I can hear a faint exhaust leak in the engine compartment, but I can't be sure. Do these motors just kind of sound like that? A slight bit clackity? I can't...

My Jeep has been sitting for 6 years and I'm ready to start it up again. The current oil probably has 5 miles on it but sat with the car for 6 years. It's still super clean looking when I check it on the dipstick. I'm going to have to take it in for smog soon. What do you think, do I need to...

As of today it had a complete front fascia. The header panel had a crack on the driver side and the driver side headlight bezel was also cracked, but my quick inspection didn't see any other damage. It may be repairable by someone skilled with fiberglass. If anything, the grill and other parts...

I was doing an engine swap in a 91 corolla with one of those low mileage used japanese engines and decided to swap in a 4spd auto in place of the 3spd. It was only an extra $100 and I figured the addition of OD would help mileage. Unfortunately I was sold an electronic transaxle while the car's...

Well, technically not Renix specifically, but rather closed cooling system users. Why just for closed cooling systems? Because I found this nifty fan switch that has two circuits. The first turns on at 92c and breaks at 82c, and the second one turns on at 96c and breaks at 82c. I found it...

Just thought you guys might like to know that Rockauto.com has the AC Delco brand 100A Alternator on clearance for $40.99 with no core charge. It's a wholesaler closeout so probably only while supplies last. So if you're looking for more amps, this may be a good deal. I'm not sure what other...

I want to put back my missing door chime in my 87 XJ. The one I pulled from the junkyard is an annoying buzzing sound. Did XJs ever have a more pleasant "ding" sound like other modern cars? If so, what year makes what sound? Thanks

Pick N Pull San Jose North Has a 1985 4Cyl 4WD Cherokee Last week it still had the (outside) spare tire carrier. And from what I just read in another thread, that particular setup (4cyl) may have favorable gears. 4.10s? I didn't think that cherokee had much to offer until I read that.

I bought some of these from teamcherokee since I had other stuff to order and they were cheap. http://www.o.teamgrandwagoneer.com/parts/Detailed/1435.html Since my jeep didn't come with them (87) would someone be so kind as to show me where they go exactly? Thanks

Does anyone know where to buy amberless (only red and clear) tail light lenses for my 87 XJ? I swear I saw them somewhere but now I can't find a picture or anything about them on the web.

I got this in an email from moss motors. Please respond appropriately to our politicians. I am sick of them using our cars as scapegoats. ---------- In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, California Assemblyman Dave Jones ([email protected]) has amended a completely...

Sorry for the dual post (also in sierra chapter), but I felt it was necessary. I got this in an email from moss motors. Please respond appropriately to our politicians. I am sick of them using our cars as scapegoats. Thanks ---------- In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, California...

I can't recall clearly if I read that there was a recall on the compact spare. Is this true, and does this mean that nobody has it anymore?

I have some free stuff to give away and seems the Karma thread has disappeared. Can I give away stuff here or will it be deleted? Thanks

I have a simple question about headliners. I searched but didn't find a definitive answer. I want to replace the flaky fiberglass backing with something more rigid. Were some XJs supplied with the pressboard type? I'm also thinking of using one from a later model with the speakers molded...

Now that I've gotten my motor to idle correctly, I'm gonna have to put back on the EGR valve. I know it will probably run better and cleaner with it off but thanks to the CARB bastards I'll have to leave it on (at least for testing). So I've tested my valve off the car with a mityvac like...
