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...

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

I had a cat fail once, it sounded like shaking a coffee can full of nuts and bolts. I recently started getting the same noise in my 96. I decided to live with the noise till I had time to pay more attention. I recently had my engine mount bracket bolts shear and that could not wait. I replaced...

My left side door windows, rear reveal moldings need replacement. These are the vertical moldings that cover the rear window channel. They are plastic coated and the plastic is falling apart. They are fragile parts and I'd rather not bent them trying to install them. I imagine that they need to...

I need to adjust my camber on a 99 XJ, by installing an offset ball joint. I find that both upper and lower can be offset. I just need to correct by 1 degree, what is a better choice, upper or lower offset?

I have a 96 XJ four door. The exterior trim covering the aft window channel, used to be black. It seems that the black was some kind of plastic coating that cracked and started peeling off. I imagine I can find that part somewhere, (the dealer?). I would like to know how much trouble it is to...

Do you guys use a gasket or RTV for the transmission oil pan?

Several years after swapping the 231 TC out of my 96 and 99 for a 242 transfer case that has the FT option, I look back and the only regret I have is that I did not do it sooner. I believe that it is the most worthwhile modification I ever made in a vehicle. It has transformed the way I use my...

I have checked my regular sources for Mobil 1 15W-50 (high ZDDP) and I cannot find the 5 quart containers like I used to. Are they pulling it off the market?

I am doing some brake work and I need to have a 90 degree turn on my brake line. I don't want to bend the tube, so I was thinking to use a 90 degree fitting or adapter to install two brake lines. Something like the "T" fitting on top of the rear axle, but with 2 ports at 90 degrees for double...

I am going to have the roof repainted and I am going to remove and reinstall the roof rack. I already bought new strips but I need to know about the nuts that the rack screws screw into. The Jeep is a 96. there are two different nuts for that year, one for the early and one for the later 96...

I just replaced my exhaust manifold with a brand new due to cracks. I have previously removed it and had it welded, finally decided to replace it. Everything went well till I tried to start it it ran really rough and sounded really bad, never before like this. Even had metallic noises like the...

Is it possible to replace the small pinion bearing, cone and cup, without removing the shafts and differential?

I normally average 17 mpg with a mix of light city traffic and 65-70mph HWY. The other day I filled up my XJ and drove to a nearby town at some 55mph, some 65-70 and mostly 75-80mph. Once there I drove around for around 20 minutes in light slow traffic, turned around and returned home. I...
