The last time this happened was like 4 years ago, and I changed out my original radiator and I was fine. This time I was just sitting parked and all of a sudden the temp gauge went almost into the red. I started driving and got on the highway and it overheated while I was driving 65 mph. Here...

I need to have my brake fluid flushed. I was wondering how much to buy, and should I only use OEM fluid from the dealer, I don't want to put in some cheap after market stuff and then have my master cylinder get ruined or something.

I changed my front brake pads and rotors today, and noticed the passenger side pads wore out more then the drivers side by a good amount. I also think I here a sound coming from that side. Could something be worn out. 186,000 miles and everything is still stock on the front brakes except the...

I am replacing my front brake pads and rotors, it's been so many years since I did it last I forgot which pads and rotors I used. I don't want ceramic, is Bendix the tried and true replacement pads? Is there a certain rotor brand that is better or are they pretty much all the same?

Can I put on BFG All Terrain 30 x 9.50 R15 LT 1040 M+S on my 99 4.0 187,000. I just put on new rear HD leaf springs so I have the clearance. I just don't want to over stress the front end or stock steering box. It is just a daily driver that get driven mildly.

1999, 4.0, 188,000 I used a 1/2 impact wrench I rented from Home Depot which helped allot. I was concerned about the front bolts being rusted in the bushings or not coming out, but they came out fine. I had to use a little map gas near the end of the bolt and burn away some bushing after that...

My gas peddle got stuck while I was driving my 1999 - 4.0 -180,000 miles. I opened the hood and the mechanism around the spring near the end of the throttle cable was stuck, I loosened it with my hand, then hit the gas peddle a few times and it was fine. I think what happened was when I was...

1999 - 4.0 - 180,000 miles. XJ is stalling when making left turns when low on gas? The strange thing is that it only just started doing this, it usually does it right before the low fuel light comes on. Been driving it for 12 years so I know something is wrong. It always starts right back...

I have seen some people have stripped the welded nut because the leaf bolt was rusted to the center of the bushing causing it not to come out. My plan so this does not happen to me, is to heat area 1 with mapp gas, then loosen the bolt a little hopefully it will come out and not stripp...

1999 xj, 4.0 I am planning to change out my sagging leaf springs, I have been doing my research, but I have not been able to find a thread with the exact size bolts that go through the bushing into the frame, front and back? I like to have them in advance before starting the job. Does anyone...

1999 XJ 4.0 My question is do I have to remove the rear shocks to replace the leaf springs. I was planning on removing both rear tires and supporting the jeep from the frame rails with jack stands, then can I support the axle with jack stands and leave the shocks on? Also I have made a parts...

Hello all, My Model (1999 - 4.0 - 180,000 miles) I have a few questions on how to properly flush my system. It seem like every year or so my radiator water turns to mud. I had the head gasket changed a few years ago, and the mechanic said the head was fine, It also it appears that there is...

Hello, I have never replaced my front calipers on my 1999 4.0 180,000 jeep xj. I have done the front and rear brakes, rotors ect no problem. I was wondering if I would need any special tools or greases to do the calipers or would I have to bleed the brakes when done. Any tips on how to do the...

My front brake calipers are original on my 1999 with 175,000 miles. I think it's time to change them? Are they very difficult to do? Would I need any special tools or greases, is it way more involved then changing the pads? Also would I have to bleed the brake after-wards. Thanks

When I put my left hand signal on the hazards lights come on instead. If I turn the hazards on and off from the switch quickly, I can get the left hand signal to work for one turn, but then the very next time I turn left it happens again. I don't want to keep switching my hazards on and off...
