The original AC on my '89 XJ works great, but I think the moisture drain from the condenser is blocked as it will drip into the passenger side floor. Problem is my Haynes doesn't show where this drain is located Can anyone provide a picture or diagram showing where I can access the drain to...

I think my problem is the ignition switch (down in the column), but want to get some confirmation before I buy the part and begin the install. Vehicle data: '89 Jeep Wagoneer Limited (XJ), 4.0L, AW4, NP242. No engine mods except cold air intake. Other mods shouldn't impact this issue (lift...

My '89 XJ 4.0 (Renix) with ONLY 301,000 had an issue on the trail last weekend. It was idling for a little while (less than 5 min) and when I returned to the vehicle, it had stopped. I turned the key to start it and it started right up...for about 2 seconds...then died. It did that four times...

Long story short...got a crack in the valve cover for an '89 Waggie 4.0. Searched on-line...finding prices of $250 for my year, but about $100 for '93 up. What's the deal? Cracked it trying to pry off the thermostat cover...was stuck something good! Also, while I have it torn apart, looking...

My wife hates the seats in my '89 XJ Waggy Ltd. Even though they're leather, the passenger seat does not have any/adjustable lower back support, and she complains about the seats on long rides. Does anybody have any good recommendations for replacements? I'd be looking for seats that could...

I've got new 2x4 Tomken Rock Sliders to install on my '89 XJ this weekend. Their directions are a little sketchy, specifically which front mount goes on which side, and if the sliders are side-specific. I searched for anybody's experience and found nothing. I'll document my install, but if...

'89 XJ Waggy, no mods affecting heater/blower. Blower motor does not work...at all...on any setting on my drive home tonight. It worked this morning. It's cold here (-11*F) and it's tough keeping the windows from frosting! I've checked blower fuse-OK. Checked for voltage at fuse...

OK...I've searched and searched, cannot find a good write up (with pics preferably) about replacing the exhaust manifold. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My '89 4.0 has developed a pssst..pssst..pssst on acceleration...I'm pretty sure sure it's the exhaust manifold as my fuel...

Fabric on top (headliner) is starting to separate from the headliner in front. Is there a fix (injectable glue, etc.) that can remedy this without tearing the whole thing out? If it matters...'89 Wagoneer Ltd. (XJ) Thanks in advance for advice on what works!

OK...gonna be a long explanation, but I feel necessary for clarity. First vehcle info...'89 Wagoneer LTD, 4.0L, NP242, AW4, 3" Skyjacker Lift, AA SYE, LP D30 non-disco front with 4.56's (Yukon Gear) and Eaton E-Locker, Ford 8.8 rear with Ected LS/Locker w/4.56 gears (Yukon Gear), 33x10.5 BFG...

Hello, I have the opportunity to snag some spare axle shafts for $0. Catch is one (passenger) has a stiff u-joint and needs to be re-built. I've re-built driveshaft u-joints numerous times, but can't figure how the axle shaft joints come apart? I don't see a retainer ring or anything else to...

Friends XJ....'90 w/4.0, AW4, 231. He's a student...works with my firm as an Engineering Intern in summer. His XJ has had several water pumps "fail". They don't leak, but quit circulating coolant. He's said that about once a year, the XJ will begin to heat up...when it gets bad, he replaces...

OK...trying not to be long, but I think I've narrowed it down to the chain. At my clubs event, I broke a rear drive shaft at the differential u-joint. Occured when starting from a stop in a twisted situation...front going up, rear doing down...wedged into the ditch. Twisted the ear right off...

Just finished my 8.8 install a little while back. Used Ruff Stuff shock brackets that put the shock mount at about the middle of the axle. Now my shocks (skyjacker's designed for my 3" lift) bottom out. Obviously I need shorter shocks. What shocks are you guys running to avoid bottoming out...

My NP242 has issues, I think bent front output shaft. Looking to rebuild it, or a JY unit...wondering if someone makes a low gear upgrade. It's 2.73:1 (I think)...would love to find a way to rebuild one with 4.00:1. My jeep is an '89 Wagoneer LTD (XJ)...just re-geared front D30 to 4:56 with...

I have some Tomkin rear bumper end caps that I had to have modified (shortened to stop wheel rub). Obviously the cutting/welding work needs to be finished. They were originally powder coated. Can I rattle-can the ruined finish, or will it have problems adhering to the power coat that still...

I've searched, but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I've built a Ford 8.8 for the rear of my '89 XJ (Wagoneer LTD) and know its 5/8" narrower each side than the weak D35 it replaced. Mounting the stock aluminum wheels left them about 1/4" from the leaf springs...too close! If I get...

I searched...couldn't find what I was looking for. I am putting finishing touches on a Ford 8.8 axle I've built for my XJ ('89 Wagoneer LTD). The axle is just part of a major mod I've undertaken that includes an AA SYE for the NP242, Tom Woods CV rear driveshaft, re-gearing front and 8.8 rear...

A little long...but need to give all the information. My son's jeep...'88 Cherokee, 4.0, Renix multi-point injection...has had intermittent running problems, finally totally quit some time ago. Replaced crank position sensor with new part, replaced coil/ignition control module from parts jeep...

I suspect a neutral safety problem on my son's '89 XJ (AW4 Transmission, NP242 transfer case, 4.0L engine). I'd like to "bypass" the switch just to get it started so I can take to a friends shop where I have access to a lift to remove, clean, and reinstall the NSS. Doing the repair in the...
