    AW4 Solenoid Replacement write-up (no 56k)

    This started off with a friends 1997 Cherokee Sport. His vehicle is equipped with the 4.0, AW4, and 231 case. While playing around in 4wd, he noticed his CEL light come on and the Jeep was very sluggish on acceleration. It felt as though the Jeep was trying to take off in 3rd gear. When he...

    Long story short...I am helping a friend through a rough time...He has a 97 4.0 with the usual cracked manifold. I am going to change it out and install it with Fel-Pro gaskets to help get him by. I have searched EVERY Ebay manifold thread and they all turn in to a "I bought an APN thread". I...

    Installing JK shocks on an XJ (write up)

    I am not sure if this will interest anyone, but I just installed 2007 Wrangler Rubicon (JK) shocks on my 97 Cherokee with a 3" Skyjacker lift. I did some research and found that the JK Rubicon shocks are the same length as the shocks supplied with most 3" to 4" lifts. I found mine as new...

    Distributor difference??? (97-99)

    I am in the final stages of swapping out the blown 4.0 in my 97 Cherokee, and I have stumbled upon a problem. The complete engine I purchased was out of a 98 Cherokee, so it should be a bolt in to my 97......or so I thought. I am to the point of hooking up all the connectors and I notice that I...

    JK Shocks onan XJ....

    I have a chance to buy a set of new JK Wrangler Rubicon shocks (take-offs) for a very good price. I swear I read somewhere that the JK shocks would work very well on a Cherokee with a small lift (3"), but I cannot find where I read this to save my arse. I tried searching, but "JK" is too small...

    engine still good after fire?

    Has anyone ever re-used an engine from a burnt vehicle? I found a 99 Cherokee that had an underhood fire and I am curious if the hard parts (head, block, internals) would stil be usable. It looks like the fire was hot enough to burn up all the wiring, plastic, and paint from the hood. Any...

    2000 4.0 into 97XJ??

    Hello all, I recently purchased a 97 Cherokee (4.0) with, what I believe is a bad head (guy overheated it). The engine has about 130k on it as it sits. I have found a 4.0 out of a 2000 TJ for a fair price. My question is will the 200 engine retrofit into the 97? I understand the 4.0 part is the...

    Heat and A/C problem

    Hello all, I tried a search, but didn't find this one so I hope you guys (gals) can help. I have a 99XJ, when you turn on the blower (any level, heat or A/C) it sounds like a flap closes and the air is not getting out. Even on high, it barely puts any heat out the defrost or floor vents, but...

    XJ Mods and ECU ?

    Hello all, I have a question about my 99 XJ, so I thought I should ask the experts. I found a crack in the exhaust manifold, so that must be a sign to get a header and upgraded exhaust right :) Now the question, which mods can I do on my 99 (intake,exhaust,etc) without throwing the stock...
