Searched, didn't find a "how to" write up on replacing the door latch mechanism on the driver's door. Got the new part from the dealer. Can anyone who has done this job provide some pointers? Any tricks or things to watch out for? Better yet, have I just not found the "how to" write up on this...

I just bought a 2000 2 door with 2WD. It has begun to make a high pitched noise at speed in the front end that is unrelated to engine speed. It is definitely coming from the front, not the rear. I did a search of the OEM Forum and did not find anything for rear wheel drive, I have owned a 95...

Yesterday I dropped the front drive shaft to replace the CPS on my daughter's '99 XJ. (There was a previous thread on this by my neighbor Mike.) Thought I had reassembled the front drive shaft at the front universal joint exactly as came out, but now at or above 45 MPH there is a really bad...

Oil pan is stuck like glue to the block. I know this has probably been covered about 675 times,but I can't seem to find the threads under "oil pan", "oil pan removal", "oil pan gasket" or anything similar in the search function. Can someone lead me to the thread or just tell me the technique to...

99 XJ Sport, auto, 6 cyl., no mods. Truck starts and drives normally until you put it into reverse. Then the engine misfires, stumbles and dies. It won't run in reverse, but runs fine otherwise. Any thoughts on what tis may be? NSS? Help! (I did search...couldn't find anything on this issue...)

'98 XJ, 4.0 engine. Searched the past threads. Checked / repaired vacuum line system in from the ball vacuum reservoir canister on the front bumper back. When accelerating, the AC/heater outlets will change from the front vents on the dash to the defrost vents. According to the search, it...

Truck: 98 XJ Classic, 80K mi, stock 'cept for K&N air system, header, Dynomax cat and catback, and bored throttle body. I am contemplating installing an overhead console in my '98 Cherokee Classic. This morning I got under the front bumper to try to ID the temp sensor harness, which, as I...

The truck: 98 XJ, 75K miles, stock 4x4 (including tires), except for Edelbrock header, K&N cold air system, bored-out TB, Dynomax cat and cat-back. The issue: I bought this relatively low-miles XJ last summer from a neighbor and modified it slightly (as detailed above) to increase the engine's...

My XJ PM for the weekend is to change out the Dextron III in the AW4 (done, no prob) and t-case. First time to change out these fluids on this vehicle since I bought it a few months ago (just clicked 75K mile, PO had it done at 45K). Anyway, the T-case has TWO Torx plugs facing the rear. One is...

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the contributors from all over the world who post to this bulletin board. Over the past few years I have been reading these posts and asking (often stupid) questions. Your advice has helped me upgrade both my '98 XJ and my son's '95 XJ and do repairs I...

Recently I did all the fun intake/exhaust mods to my '98 XJ 4.0: '01 intake manifold; Airraid cold air system; header; bored out TB;Dynomax cat and catback exhaust. The only glitch is that the plastic intake tube from the K&N filter that goes to the TB is rubbing the paint off the interior side...

So my factory fog light switch went on the blink and I called the local dealer thinking I could just order a replacement. Nope. No longer available. But they would sell me the replacement switch for $40...AND the necessary wiring harness to make it work for $148. Grrrr. Besides the junkyard...

Just bought my neighbor's 98 XJ and of course the sound system sucks. So my first mod will be to upgrade the four speakers. But I am questioning whether there is any real gain from replacing the factory CD/AM/FM unit with a Sony, Kenwood, etc. unit in the $99 to $150 price range. Thoughts...

Wanted: pair of good factory stereo tweeters from a 97 or newer XJ. Must be in good working order and in good cosmetic condition. Contact Frank at [email protected] and please state asking price in your first email. Thanks.

Wanted: air intake from a '99 or newer 4.0. Contact Frank at [email protected]. Please state asking price in your first email. Thanks.

95 XJ, 4WD, 130K miles With equal inflation of all tires, the driver's side is one inch lower to the ground when measured from the center to the headlight. The shocks were just replaced. My guess is that the front left spring is sagging. Last night I read the factory service manual on the...

95 XJ 4WD, 130K mi: My project for today was to replace the lower control arms (got new ones from Quadratec). The passenger side one was "fairly" easy to get off and replace. The driver's side was not so easy. The front bolt came out with a little effort but the rear one, even after soaking with...

I have a '90 white XJ that has a carpet in need of replacement. It looks kinda gray but kinda blue as well. Looking at the colors on the replacement carpet websites, I cannot determine which color ro order. Can I get the carpet color off the VIN? Can anyone advise which color to order?

I am currently on a business trip to Beijing, China. I have been amazed at the number of XJs on the road here. At first I noticed one or two and then I started seriously looking for them. There are enough on the road to have no troble spotting them often. I guess Chrysler must have had a plant...
