    Alternator recommendations needed

    maybe buy one of the cheaper,readily available,super discount,local auto parts store unit outright (no exchange) and have your big `un rebuilt while you get all you can out of the cheap one. this will probably be the fastest way back on the road.

    can xj's take a beatin?

    true dat. back in the day when local stock car tracks still had a class for straight 6 powered cars, rpms is what killed em. many guys i knew that ran them would put the limiter a few hundred below what the engine specs said they could run and often get a whole season out of them. other guys i...

    Rear Main Seal Replacement - Lessons Learned

    once you do one or two rear mains,you can grab the tools you already know you`ll need,air hose included,jack the jeep up by whatever means you use,get underneath and go to work. you will probably only have to come back out when it`s time to clean the gasket and wash the oil pan out. apply...

    serpintine belt problems.

    if you believe that something is hitting the timing chain cover,it coul be the harmonic balancer seperating. the rubber that is inbetween the two rings will walk back against the cover and worry the poop out of ya.
