2000 XJ - 174k miles Last night I changed the rotors and pads on the Jeep. They were working fine, but were grinding and near the end of their life. Upon inspection, the pad wear was even on both sides. 2 years ago, I had a pull to the driver side when heavy braking (down hill at higher...

I put 1" upcountry springs on my Jeep about 1 year ago from Quadratec. I used leaf spring bushings from Quadratec as well. This Jeep sees 99% pavement, with a little towing. After 1 year I started hearing a creak from the passenger side leaf spring. The bushings are already shot. Does...

I'm replacing the sagging leaf springs on an '01 XJ for a friend. He has stock sized 225/75R15 tires and drives 50 miles a day all highway. He wants to fix the sag in the rear of the Jeep but doesn't want any lift or vibration problems. This is a stock (non-up country) bare bones 2001 XJ...

I have a 2000 XJ 4.0 with 150k miles. The electrical accessories I have include upgraded H4 headlights with harness, (2) 130 watt KC lights wired in with high beams, stock fog lights, and heated seats. My current battery is an Autozone Duralast Gold with 800 CCA, it is about 1 year old. This...

So I recently had an alignment done on my 2000 XJ. The shop test drove it and said it has a brake pull to the driver's side. I knew this, but it seems to be getting a bit more noticeable so time to change the caliper. I'm thinking if it was a hose that would make the caliper drag, and the...

Yesterday I noticed a rust spot on the roof of my XJ. The Jeep has 143k miles, and the rest of the body is spotless. I'm guessing there was a rust bubble here, and the paint flaked off a few days ago, because it wasn't there a month ago. Here are some pics: How should I go...

I live in CT, where now they salt the roads if there is a chance for rain. Before this winter I wire wheeled some rust off the inside of my doors and painted them with bed liner. I try to wash my Jeep during the winter to keep the salt off, but it usually is covered in salt anyway. What do...

This is for a friend's 2000 Cherokee Sport. 136k miles, 4.0/AW4/NP231/C8.25. He bought the Jeep with 90k miles, and it has made this noise ever since. The noise seems to be isolated to the passenger side rear. I pulled the rear driveshaft and when driving (with 4x4 engaged) the noise still...

Stripped the pan on my AW4. I thought it was just the drain bolt but a new bolt wouldn't thread in. Anyone fairly close by have a good pan I can buy? I can have a friend drive me. All the junkyards here want to sell me an entire transmission. You can call or text me 860-371-7101. Thanks for...

What is the correct way to install a trans cooler in relation to flow? I have a B&M Supercooler on my XJ, but I don't have a temp gauge yet. From reading a couple threads on here, I think my trans cooler is installed wrong. Mine is a stacked plate cooler and is installed with the hose barbs...

I posted a thread earlier about front axle u-joints and whether or not greaseable joints were better. I found a clip on youtube of an XJ that makes the SAME noise as mine. I believe its coming from the front end, and is what leads me to believe the joints are bad...

2000 Cherokee sport 4.0/AW4/NP231 with a 2" lift and 130k miles. Lately I've been getting an angry bird noise from the front end. It has happened a few times before (even when it was stock height), but seems to only happen when winter rolls around and the roads get salty and nasty. If I power...

2000 XJ 4.0L, 130k miles. Two years ago, my jeep was running hot. I replaced all the cooling system components including a new CSF 3 row radiator. Keep in mind that the previous owner removed the A/C system, so there is no condenser in front of the radiator. I also flushed the cooling system...

Doing a cooling system overhaul on a friend's XJ since it has been running hot. Her XJ is a 2001 4.0L with 3" and 31s. This is what I could think of to replace: -Radiator (1 row from DPG Offroad) -195* thermostat (Stant Superstat) -Radiator cap (Stant) -Radiator hoses (bottom one with spring...

2000 XJ 4.0L I replaced my head with an Alabama head 2 years ago, and at the same time installed a Crown Automotive aluminum valve cover. The cover claimed to reduce valvetrain noise and dissipate heat more efficiently. I actually think the valvetrain noise is louder, but who knows. The...

I had heard good things about these injectors. I bought the set for the 99-04 4.0L. Ever since installing them my Jeep has started hard, even when warm. I have a feeling they are leaking and causing the hard start, since it seems others have had this problem. Once the Jeep is started it runs...

2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L, Alabama cylinder head, 124k miles. -New plugs -Filled up at different stations with good gas -Gets a consistent 17 mpg -Runs at 195-210* all day long My Jeep has had this issue a few times on a COLD start, usually after sitting overnight. The Jeep will start right up...

So lately my 2000 has been taking a little longer to start after sitting over night. It usually takes two quick tries to start it, or one long crank. When sitting for only a short bit it will fire up quickly like always. Plugs are good, and the issue only happens after it has been sitting a...

My 2000 XJ has a 2" lift, dana 35 and NP231. The Jeep had some vibes after installing the lift, so I put in a transfer case drop. Vibes have been eliminated as far as I can tell. I have been driving with this setup for around a year. This past week I had a high flow cat welded on at the...
