I procrastinated swapping in a new blower motor and so when I needed it, I had to have a garage replace it. While they had it they gave me a "complimentary inspection." We all know where that is going. They said I had water in my brake lines and that I needed to replace my coolant. Its been...

For Sale: Best reasonable offer takes all. The bad: A/C no longer works but it just may need a recharge. Not inspected, floor rot The good: Runs great, new Cooper Discoverer tires, new exhaust, paint is great, C4 X 4 bumpers on both ends, tom woods driveshaft, 4.10 gears

Mine succumbed to rust. Looks like Mopar and everyone else doesn't make them anymore. There's a universal made by Walker and Dynomax however the 2 pieces of rubber that look like they are supposed to come together at the top to put the bolts through, don't. Anyone have ideas what to do? Not...

I'm posting because I haven't been here in a while. A couple of years ago I was one those people who had an overheating problem and tried a multitude of fixes which did not work until I installed a CSF 3 core. With the outdoor temps now in the 3 digit range its finally an opportunity to report...

I have to replace a leaking heater control valve in the XJ after a 15:00 minute drive home from work. How long does it take the engine to cool? Thanks in advance.

My '94 Cherokee's oil pressure gauge is almost bottomed out while running. At 160K I think that's pretty unheard of. I threw in a new pressure sending unit ($40) which didn't change a thing. I've heard that a clogged oil filter can do the same thing. Is this a fact? Before being aware of...

I "think" my front hubs are shot. I'm hearing bearing noise from the front when I roll. The D30 diff came out of a junkyard '89 so I don't know its' history but I've put 60K on a differential that could already have 200k on it. When I give the front tires a "shake test" for play however, the...

I probably should have known better,... I live in the rust belt and my aluminum leaf spring shims have all but crumbled. I've got a steel set coming from Tom Woods hopefully arriving this coming week. Also noted that the spring screw that came with them is different than a normal spring screw...

I was online looking for grease reviews and couldn't find any. I know this seems really anal but if I'm going to the trouble,.... and the bigger part of the job is labor,..... and its only a few dollars difference between one grease cartridge and another, why not use the best or at least...

Aside from the Jeep suddenly feeling like I'm driving on a railroad track, what is the best way to determine if I have a bad u-joint and which ujoint it is? I have a Tom Woods SYE and suspect that its the joint at the pinion. I just haven't had the opportunity to get under there yet. There...

Just an FYI: They are super back ordered. If you're a fan like me you won't be seeing them in the U.S. for a while. I just got off the phone with Toyo. Apparently because of the Obama administrations 37% tax hike on imported products made in China and Japan, Toyo is moving its production...

This is probably going to be the last set of tires I buy for this XJ before sending it to XJ heaven or hell. If the jeep was newer I'd have no problem selecting new rubber. What I'm looking for now is a cost effective means of buying a decent set of tires that will get the XJ through its...

My BFG's AT's are really old,... in terms of tire years,... I've lost track but at least a decade. The Jeep also sits for periods up to a week. I have had more than one incident where one of my tires will deflate overnight. I hate to admit it but I think its an employee who I already know has...

Having had a K&N filter on 2 jeeps I am done. Whatever gain is created by these filters is not worth having all the crap they allow into the throttle body. More airflow = more crap. That's my observation and I'm sticking with it.

http://rockville.patch.com/articles/employee-killed-another-injured-at-flagship-carwash#photo-4221987 Anyone heard of ZJ's having acceleration problems? Could also be a mat issue getting stuck ontop of the accelerator pedal at a car wash.

Mine is acting funky and I need a new one. The dealer wants $190, I can get it from moparpartsamerica.com for $110 plus shipping (but this weekend its warm and I'd like to do it now) or I can get it from NAPA for $85. Is this one of those parts to get from Mopar or can I get away with a NAPA...

Electricity has always been my achilles heel when it comes to automotive repair and maintenance. I just don't get it. Nonetheless, my 94 xj has had an issue with the cigarette lighter since the day it was born which was before the advent of cell phones. When they came out on the market all my...

Replaced a leaky radiator yesterday. My torx driver just spun around inside 3 of the 6 bolts that hold down the top plate (That the fan shroud connects to). They were filled with rust and corrosion. I ground the heads off thinking I could just get the remainder of the bolts off from the...

I'm thinking about swapping out my starter this weekend as a preventive measure before it fails. Its been working for at least 70k and I don't know how long it was on there before I bought the Jeep used. I can buy a Bosch reman for $119 at NAPA or the NAPA house brand for the same price but...

What exactly do people mean when they say that a water pump isn't working properly. Unless its leaking, its either spinning or not, right?
