I only hunt the buggers with the Buggy! Deer jumped into pass. side front, only doing about 40 mph. 97 4.0 5-spd. Stock-o-rific. Ran for about a block, and noticed the headlight was aimed straight down from impact. Light popped off, and engine quit short time later. No restart. Checked fuel...

Need buying advice: I'm finally taking the big plunge and having a local shop do the all-holy Fuel Pump Module on my 97 XJ 4.0. (got sick of left-hand stalls, slow-as-a-glacier starts and all the rough running.) Is there a vendor that offers a good product, price AND IS Naxja-friendly? Not a...

Yes, I know there are "plenty of posts" but I have not found any details on a heater core replacement for a 97-01. I am typically frustrated with constant HVAC issues on this piece. (Had the blend door mech replaced by the stealership TWICE in the past five years. It was like $450! And they...

Over the winter, my driver side rear door (97 XJ) refused to open up. The lock seems "frozen" but no it's not the temperature-type of frozen. I should add, NO POWEER LOCKS, they are manual. Any ideas? I have no "real" factory manual/book, other than the lame Chiltons. I found no reference to...

5-spd 101: Make SURE everything is correct when replacing an XJ 5-spd. the clearances are so tight, that even the rebuild shop is baffled by this one! My 97 4.0 5-spd went south, and my local tranny guy claimed to have done a "ton of them." Paid for the rebuilt AX-15, everything seemed Ok. then...

I had a rebuilt AX-15 5-spd installed in my 97 4.0 last week, and I now have a weird "scraping" noise under hard braking or when hitting a hard bump. Sounds simialr to when a tire rubs on the plastic fenderwell. But it seems to be under the tranny, and never happened prior to the new tranny...

I wrote the "hood release 101" last winter, and am ashamed to say the new Mopar hood release cable has broken - again. $50 plus several hours labor down the drain, less then a year later. Chrysler warranties the part, for "one year or 12k miles" which ever is first. Right. like miles driven...

Hey folks. For the 5-speed crowd. My 97 4.0 5-speed (AX-15 ? right?) "pops" out of first gear after a few yards, making for quite a sight. Have been able to start in second around town, but traffic scares me. am I screwed? is it worth fixing/rebuilding? Just go for a whole new rebuilt AX-15? If...

Day before Turkey Day drive to Chicago - 400 miles - when the hood wouldn't close. Playing w/stuck release and the handle pulls off. Screwed. No parts, etc. Came real close to installing hood pins and ripping the whole under-engineered system to shreds. At least hood was open, no headlight...

Saw this on E-bay, wondered if anyone's tried it, or does it look like colored Saran Wrap? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7971992297&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Let me know!

I've scoured the "search" modes, and haven't seen all of this asked or answered. My 98 4.0 5-spd has a hard start, many, many cranks, but it always pops eventually. * But if fuel level is below about 1/4, it also hesitates when turning left and accelerating hard (across a highway, etc.). My...

Pagign Dr. Naxja: 97 XJ 4.0, 5-spd, 231, stock, 120k, daily drive. Bigtime REAR SPRING SAG, and I need new rear shocks (factory). I've added abotu 150 lbs over stcok in rear (gas skid, tow assembly, full-size spare, sub, etc.). SINCE I need new shocks, and springs, I'm wonderign if this is the...

97 XJ 4.0 5-speed. My parking brake "button" exploded in my hand last night! Looks like the plastic "thumb" piece broke away from whatever holds it, leaving the conical spring to fly into the console. I'm screwed, aren't I? Chiltons has no mention even (surprise, should have burned the $ spent...

Few troubles with the 97 Hot Rod, need some opinions. THE HARD STARTING-esp when cold, takes ALOT of cranks. Not as bad if I've just driven it (5-15 minutes later) Fuel pump? Plugs? one of those lectrical thigns I will inevitably screw up? THE TICK- Seems to rise with rpms, esp. loud at about...
