For a 2000 XJ w/auto Exact part num is 231-J Assy 5209 9212 gears 2.72 Will buy or trade for Reese fifth wheel or dual cam WD hitch... ;)

I think I'll just remove the front driveshaft for a couple days to isolate it a little more...

I'm getting a similar popping/clunking noise on my 2000 -- sounds like it is right below my knees... Thanks for the tips on a few more places to look. It seems to only happen during the first 10-15 minutes of driving, and then becomes non-existent unless I hit a nasty pot-hole and then I...

I put in the three-row as well, but mainly because the ambient temp here six months out of the year is in the high 90's....

Carfax probably doesn't work to well outside the US. Paint jobs are cheap here, don't know about Egypt. Might want to consider that as an option if the price is right.

If you go with the 31's, just remember that your speedometer and odometer are affected. Using a GPS to check my speed, 45mph on the dash was 47.5 on the GPS, and 55mph was 58.5. The upside to that is that I've probably been getting better gas mileage than I thought I was, and my extended...

Speed sensor should be on the outside of the tranny case.

I had that problem on my '93, long before these forums.... Unable to figure it out, the problem kept going on for about a year before I figured out the evaporator drain was blocked. It was puddling in the back seat at one point, flowing under the carpet and coming out a seam in back of the...

Passed the compression test OK, so it isn't the head. Yet. ;) Got it back today, and it ran fine. Even got to go wheeling a bit down in one of the washes today, and it didn't budge from 210F.... The dealer wound up doing the radiator swap-out, so I missed out on the fun, but I'm sure that...

Well, the jury is in, and it was definitely the radiator in my case. As I mentioned, the dealership was putting in a three-core radiator, and there was no overheating today whatsoever. Previously, it had been spiking after 30 minutes of highway driving. Today, 45 minutes of in-town...

Point of order... it's heads cast in 2000. That doesn't mean that it is only on 2000's... I seem to recall that there were a few reports of early build 2001's that also had the 0331. There's no reason the 0331 won't fit an earlier or later model year that I can tell, so model year of the...

If towing in Illinois, remember the speed limit drops to 55mph for vehicles with trailers...

Chris, you've described my situation to a T. Extremely hot hood, faint smell, and spiking temps. Fortunately I had it happen under the 15 day warranty offered by the stealership, so they've replaced the t-stat (Mopar from the dealer, make sure the hole is at the top!), water pump, and now the...

The flush didn't do the trick, so I brought it back yesterday. Got a call this morning, and the mechanic who looked at it decided the radiator was probably plugged. They're replacing with a three-core (my request, I'll pay the extra $30 for peace of mind). I also asked for them to do a...

Update... Replaced the t-stat today with an OEM replacement Mopar. Burped it, drove about 20 minutes and the damn thing overheated again.... So.... it's not the t-stat. It's not the water pump, and there was no evidence of oil inside the top of the head, nor was there any evidence of...

Thanks for all the replies. Checked inside the oil fill cap, and there's no evidence of white stuff, so I'm guessing it is not the block although I'll try and get a compression check just in case. I'll be changing out the t-stat and flushing over the weekend, but this is the high desert --...

OK... it's an overheating problem, which I know I'll get abused for because there are a gazillion threads on overheating... But I'm not asking if the radiator is the problem. I'm assuming it is... !!!1 1) Bought a 2000 with the 4.0 A/T, and after driving it 20 miles from the dealer (about 25...
