Hi all. Was driving my 07 2WD Hemi Grand Cherokee this weekend when it had a sudden loss of fwd motion on the freeway. Coasted to the right hand lane (it would rev like in neutral but no power to transmission) so I shut it off. Waited a minute, and it started right back up, went into gear fine...

-One owner -285k miles -New OEM transmission about 2 years ago? Lost all forward motion about 1 mile from Big Bear in the snow. I bet I have only….2-3k miles on the new one? -6 cylinder 4.0l -no rust at all -leather interior. All perfect except for the drivers sitting area. No one has sat in...

My 88 XJ will open 3 out of 4 door locks with the remote fob. Same when I use the door lock switch from inside. Just cannot get the only one I use, the passenger door right behind the driver, to work without having to reach in and unlock by hand. Any idea where to start/what might be keeping...

Looks like I'm in need of window regulators on all four windows on my 88. Also window seals (are they the same thing as "whiskers"? Are "whiskers" part of the same part?). The dealer says the regulators are no longer available (which is great b/c I'm sure they are overpriced) but was...

I've been having issues with a lot of electrical stuff on my XJ: windows barely move up or down, door lock switch doesn't lock or unlock anything, painfully slow wipers on both ends, blinkers don't blink all the time, cruise control and headlights work when they feel like it, etc. Took it to...

soooo.....my 1988 XJ Limited 4WD is coming up on 30 years since I bought it new. And....I'm thinking about a new(er) Jeep. Of course the dealership will offer me lunch money for it, but thought I'd ask here and get a feel for what it might be worth on CL, etc. If you have a second I'd love to...

The list of small, yet determined issues I'm having with the XJ has become too much. Damn door locks, even with Greg's Door Lock fix (which worked for a number of years) is now becoming insufferable. Opening every single damn door with the key or the reach around (which, oddly, usually I'm...

Took the day off to go skiiing up @ Big Bear today. Drove fine there. About 1 mile from the ski area the tranny let go. No forward motion at all. No reverse either. I got it turned around and pointed downhill thanks to Sir Issac Newton, and coasted back to near the freeway using momentum and...

In my 88 XJ Limited, I only have the OEM lap belt, which I can barely slide thru a car seat to hold it in place. And there's no where to clip the "latches" like most newer cars have. Wondering if anyone has added a tether point somewhere for the long strap? Is this even possible? There's...

Hey guys. My 88 Xj is, yet again, idling thru the roof. I don't drive it that much anymore (only when it rains here in SoCal, if that tells you anything) and right now for the last few drives it's back to it's old tricks: idling at 3k or so in neutral, drops down to 1800RPMs while driving. I...

I noticed last night that my center console no longer clicks shut, it just sorta lays there. But now it's shaking and rattling like crazy. I rooted around inside and found a small metal spring tab with a sharp edge that looks like it broke off from somewhere. Anyone know if Jeep just sells the...

Last week when I drove the XJ, I noticed that the right signal indicator on the dash just glowed bright and didn't blink when I turned right. I got out and looked, and I had lights everywhere except the right front running light (below the RF headlight). Figured it was the bulb, so I put a new...

Two of the doors on my 88 XJ no longer lock/unlock either with the remote or using the master switch on the front door panels. I did Greg's Famous Door Lock Relay Fix a few years ago, and it was a dramatic change and they all worked great. Mine stopped working so well when the weather turned a...

Got a friend with a 95 ZJ that didn't pass CA smog. The smog shop suggested a new cat and O2 sensor, which he did. Re-tested it, and it still failed, so the shop swapped the new parts off again. Got any ideas on what else to check in order to pass the test?

I recently posted that I was looking for info on a 2" square trailer hitch receiver to go on my XJ. I currently have the OEM hitch bar, but it has a permanent bent tongue and a hitch ball, no 2" square receiver on it. I took a closer look at my hitch last night. It appears that the bent tongue...

Posted this in SoCal forum earlier. Thought this may help my chances. I'm in need of a trailer hitch receiver bar for my 88 XJ. I have the OEM one with the tongue and ball on it, but I need one with the 2" square receiver instead. Got one for sale? Thought I'd post here in case any of you...

Hey SoCal listers, I'm in need of a trailer hitch receiver bar for my 88 XJ. I have the OEM one with the tongue and ball on it, but I need one with the 2" square receiver instead. Thought I'd post here in case any of you happen on one @ pick your part or any other boneyards. I hit pick your...

I'd like to get some more light around the rear hatch when it's open. Was hoping maybe someone here has done a DIY project maybe? In my mind I'd want inset/flush mounted long lights, two of them, that I can pivot a bit and shine light on the ground and really just light up the area when the...

Doing cap/rotor/plugs/wires on the '88 XJ tomorrow. Been all thru the OEM SM and the search function on this forum. That SM is damn useless for simple stuff like this. 1200+ pages and cannot find: - the correct gap for the plugs -the torque value (foot pounds, please) for the plugs. If I use...

My XJ has had a little stumble when started up on rainy, cold days (or what passes for them here in SoCal). It starts fine, but runs noticeably non-smooth. Once I get it moving it runs better usually. Only happens after a rain or when it's cold in the morning. Yesterday it lasted all day. It...
