This weekend I plan to change the oil mostly to see if there is anything in the pan. It never hurts to change it and also take a look at the flex plate just because it is there. In a way I'd like to get it fixed, I like my XJ and have tried to take care of it but I don't want to waste money...

Good thought, it makes the noise even when there is no motion, that leaves a lot of moving parts out. Sometimes it seems to be louder than other times. It does it in gear only and while it is under load. If I start coasting it either gets low or goes completely away depending on load. No...

Great idea and I'll check it. I doubt that it is the problem because about three months ago I did have a loose flex plate and it was making noise. i used red loktite and torqued all the bolts, replaced one that didn't look good. This noise is different, like a bad bearing in a pulley, or a...

I have a 96XJ, 4.0, AW4 with over 195K miles. Recently it started making a noise in the Torque converter area that sounds like a pulley with a bad bearing. The noise happens only in gear R or D never in P or N. It is under load only because if I am coasting it goes away. I checked with a...

The 97+ heated mirrors are also power mirrors I think. That would make it impossible to adjust manually unless I make a complete power installation. This is why I was looking for a kit. Unless it is easy to make a complete power and heat installation if I can find the power mirror parts. If I...

Is there a kit to replace my factory mirrors with heated mirrors?

If that's what it takes to guarantee a good defect free head, so be it.

I wonder if one could order an '03+ head and specify that it must say TUPY. It would make things simpler.

Thanks.

I thought about visegrips with cushioned jaws.

Have you guys had any trouble separating the two piece dipstick tube?

When you change the waterpump you have to remove/reinstall the heater tube. I use teflon tape on the threads, what do you guys use?

That's what I needed to know, thanks a bunch.

What was that ZJ clutch with the higher output that fits the XJ? I think it was only one of several that fit the ZJ. I need to make a note of the year, engine and any other information needed. I am using one now but lost the details.

Worst mistake we ever made, sending our manufacturing overseas.:patriot:

The first to fail was of course the OEM, the second was OReilly, Wagner I think; it didn't feel right from the start but worked, not for very long. After the Wagner failed I returned it under warranty. At this point I am not sure what happened, I may have asked for a different manufacturer, not...

Lubing anything that moves up there might also help the pedal return and it is the easiest thing to do. You could try to adjust the switch to the pedal. I think it is possible to pull the plunger out and then step on the brake to make it self adjust. I am not sure about the procedure and I don't...

I have replaced my headlight switch twice in my 96. Every time the lights would start going off on their own. Pushing the switch in and out again helped me to get where I was going but eventually had to replace it. Bad design.

If you get the light on the panel, I think it means that the clock spring and the circuit that goes to the ON switch are good and all the wiring to the PCM is also good and that the ON switch is the correct year. I would hook up the meter at the most convenient point and get readings on the...

According to one mechanic, it is a factory restriction to tune the exhaust. One of my Jeeps has three equidistant dents as if a special tool put them there for a purpose.
