Thanks for the reply. It's definitely only rotational play, but unless there's also play in the transmission output that I can't see, it turns quite a bit (like maybe 45 degrees?). When I've had transfer cases separate before, there isn't any noticable difference between rotation in the output...

I have an NP231 with ~180K on it. I know it needs to be rebuilt. But, I'm working on a replacement for it, and don't want to put any money into if I can avoid it. The last time I was under the XJ on a creeper, I grabbed onto the rear driveshaft for levearage to move, and I noticed a lot of...

A WJ 242HD will NOT be bolt-on. From my research you'll have to change the input gear because the WJ uses a long input gear and your XJ will most likely have a short input gear. Your XJ may also have a different input gear pattern and you wouldn't therefore be able to just swap the input gear...

Which kit are you looking at? With CNG at $.73/gge I don't blame you for wanting to look into it. I know there's a company in Ogden that can do the install for you "For Off-Road Only". I don't know what problems you'll have with registration/safety/emmisions if you did it though. The EPA's...

My '92 MJ has a floor shifter, and is identical to my '94 XJ. It's an auto, but it has bucket instead of bench seats. Maybe that's the difference. Rob

So I've had chronic loose steering issues for quite a while. And just when I think I've got them all figured out, a new one surfaces. Anyway, the shaft that connects the steering column to the steering gear is slipping inside itself. It's notched so that it can't go more than about 15...

I was just reminded that I never posted a follow-up to this thread. I knew I needed a new muffler, but not because of constriction issues. I had broken the exhaust hanger off the t-case cross member and my borla muffler pulled apart at both ends because of the extra stress. Needless to say...

Just did my exhaust manifold on my '94 XJ and the bolts were pressed in. Rob

So I think I've figured out my problem. The brakes passed all the checks that people have suggested. I was under the XJ last night doing miscellaneous things (adjusting the e-brake drums) and noticed that the brake on the rear passenger side is coated with gear oil. So it looks like my...

Okay. So first of all, thanks for all the help with the broken stud and loss of power. I was able to get the stud out with a right angle drill, and the power problem was a plugged cat. I got everything put back together and my XJ is running well again. But, now the brakes are acting up. If...

A good start is at: http://www.veggievan.org A couple of other pretty good links: http://www.unh.edu/p2/biodiesel/article_alge.html http://ww2.green-trust.org:8383/2000/biofuel/biofuel.htm Basically do a search on google for biodiesel. There's a lot of good information out there. Rob

Apparently someone's taking DCX to task for the all too common cracking exhaust manifold. http://www.gtelaw.com/jeepclassaction/ Rob

You're right, but I don't believe ABS was an option on any XJs with disconnect axles, only the Selec-Trac equipped models that were nondisco even in '87. As to the functionality of my Jeep, first which one, second ask me next week. ;) Rob

I know '94 XJs with ABS have 297x u-joints. I have heard of as far back as '89 and '90 XJs with ABS having 297x, but haven't personally seen any. (I have an ABS housing from an '89 that has 260x u-joints) I think it was in '95 when non-ABS XJs started getting them. Since they get a lot of...

Recently my '94 4.0 Auto XJ has been having power problems. It started suddenly, and only seems to move well at low RPM with little pedal input. With lots of pedal input, especially at high RPM, it will actually loose speed. It has also been running hot. (Just below redline unless I run the...

Yes it's in the head, but I wrote the message frustrated and tired after midnight last night. I'll risk the right angle drill method because it's something I can do, and probably my only chance of not having to pull the head. If I still can't get it out, then I'll pull the head and take it to...

Yeah, that seems to be the way to go. Someone on another list said when they did theirs they broke the easyout and that gave them something to weld to. Looks like another fun adventure in Jeep ownership. =) Rob

I decided to work on the XJ tonight, it has a pretty bad case of crackedexhaustmanifolditis (now that I've got the thing off I realize it's a lot worse than I thought). So, I'm taking everything apart and thinking that all the time I spent coating the bolts with penetrating oil is really paying...
