Recently there is a strong odor coming from under the hood of my '96, you can smell it walking by from 5 feet. It smells like old gas but there is fresh gas in the tank, I have checked all the vacuum lines. The jeep runs perfect and there is no CEL. The only thing I have not done is give it a...

2000 classic dd 4.0/aw4/231. I have an issue that seems to be getting worse, my automatic door locks have a mind of their own, locking the doors. I have tried swapping the key fobs.thinking maybe it was the battery getting low. It randomly does it, I cannot recreate it. Can a paying member...

I have this vacuum port on my 96 that is not there on my 2000. I cannot find a good vacuum diagram to tell me what it is. At this time I just have it blocked off. Anybody tell me where it goes?

I have a complete HP KP 60 out of a 1988 Ford F-350, 4.10 gears, factory lockouts for $1100. I know the front end is in decent condition because I drove the truck for about a year before I decided to part it out. I ended up with two 60's so this one is getting sold (the other is BJ), I will get...

2000 xj aw4 4x4 125k, This has happened twice now, while driving there will be a wham and you feel the whole jeep jerk and it continues to drive fine. The first time it happened I thought I hit something it shuttered so bad. The second time about a month later it was not as extreme. I did...

I got a good deal on an 2001 4.0, AW4, np231, with 19,000 miles on it. It was already pulled from the jeep. I don't really have a use for this engine right now. My 96 has 158k and my 2000 has 133k. I pulled the plugs and sprayed fogging oil in the cylinders and cranked the engine by hand. Is...

I went wheeling today and as long as I was in 3 the tranny shifted fine. If I dropped into 1-2 it immediately dropped into 1st. If I took off in 1-2 it would not come out of 1. Any ideas? Where to start?

Apparently after I added a tranny cooler I never properly checked the fluid level and it was low. I ran it for about 15 mins yesterday and I did not even have fluid touching the dip stick. But it has never not gone into gear and has shifted correctly. I have only took it out one time for an...

I have a 96/4.0, I bought a HO alternator off of a friend of mine and took it and had it tested. It tested good about a year ago. I put it on the shelf while I finished my jeep. I have only got to drive it a couple of times after getting it out of the shop and when I start it the alternator...

Well I finally started my jeep after a year and I just put a turn down right after the cat. It did not sound that loud so I thought about just running a straight pipe after the cat out the back. Can I get some opinions on my why to do or not do this. As a bonus yes the shackle kit from HD...

I last started my jeep in March of 2008, had a few things to do. Full width swap, gears, lockers, sye, reinforce frame, bumpers, beadlocks, c-rok steering box reinforcement, full cage, etc. Now it is time to roll it out of the shop, what should I do before I start it. I am going to change the...

I was in my reading room and I was going over some old JPs and I was reading the article in the June '08 issue called XJ and MJ building pg 35. Now what caught my attention was that Christian Hazel said he would not have a '96 up because the OBD2 computer is just too unforgiving. What gives...

I put this in the wrong section can someone move it for me please. I took my jeep (2000,4.0l) into the shop to have the blower motor changed and when I got it back today, the battery was almost dead. I got a jump and drove home every time I would come to a stop it would idle way down like 500...

Went out this morning to go get my wife coffee and I got no blower motor at all. I do not think it is the resistor because I do not even have the high. Any other thoughts?

Jason from Unknown customs in Baxter Springs, KS built me a bumper out of 1/8 inch plate and square tubing that I thought was worthy of posting up here. It is not completely finished yet but I wanted to show how he worked the sheet metal into the bumper on the sides. It is 1/8 inch plate on...

After seeing that everyone else on here is running the explorer tranny cooler. I got one and I had already decided that I was going to run a p/s cooler because eventually I am going hydraulic assist, after I got both installed I realized that the p/s cooler is freaking huge compared to other...

I traded for a HO alternator, had to grind the brackets,...blah blah blah. Anyways when I got it installed I started putting the two little (7mm) nuts on the studs that the exciter and ground(?) wire attach to and one of the studs is spinning internally, which is pretty sweet. I have the old...

My jeeps hp44 oem "c" bushings are shot. From reading on here, I am definetely not going to replace them with poly's. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to get some replacement rubber ones? I was looking at these from jamesduff http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/bushing.html but I...

I am currently in the middle of my hp44/9 inch swap. I got the axles out of a 78 F-150 full time 4x4. The question I have is I wanted to know if anyone else has used a full time 44 out of one these trucks if they noticed that the u-joints at the yoke are larger than the ones in a 44 with a...

I have a set of adjustable LCA's the the bushings are probably getting close to needing replaced. I will take $75 OBO + shipping for them.
