I didn't know where else to post this... mods, hopefully this is okay. STOLEN - From the 800 block of City Park Avenue, Columbus OH 43206, the morning of 8/16 between 1am-8am! 1998 Jeep Cherokee, dark green with North Carolina License plates, stickers in left rear window. Has LED headlights...

I started hearing some noise coming from the engine bay 2 days ago. It sounds like it's coming from the belt area. I noticed a slight squeak, very quiet in rhythm with the engine turning. Also some "garbly" noises coming from that area - that's the best way I can describe it. There is a...

So I've had the 4.0L rebuilt in my '98 at one of the best engine rebuilders in Ohio, and I had a conversation with him about break in procedures and engine weights. I followed his directions and am through the 20 minute break-in and 500 mile break-in. Now I'm getting into the normal oil change...

Hi Guys, I just moved from Columbus OH to Charlotte NC. I've been contributing to NAXJA more (technical forums) in the past year while completing an engine rebuild and refreshing some other bits. I'm looking to give back by joining NAXJA to support the community that's helped me out so much...

I'm finally down to the last step or two of my complete engine rebuild, and went to take a drive around the block so I could settle the motor/trans mounts and tighten those bolts down. Problem is, I couldn't get out of the garage. The engine sounds great, no check engine lights at all. I had...

I'm in the middle of installing my triple threat fan setup - one of the last things I need to do before I can fire up my engine rebuild. I'm going to check the FSM tonight when I get off work, but I had a couple of wiring questions to help the install along. On a 98 4.0L / AW4 / NP231...

MUST BE SOLD BEFORE AUGUST 22, 2014 I'll get more details up as I get everything organized. Prices too. Shoot me an offer! This stuff needs sold so I can move! I will ship USPS flat rate boxes if I can fit the item. I do paypal or cash in person. My ebay ID is mojoGSR if you'd like to...

So I made a real boneheaded move today. Fired up the impact gun to remove the nut on the TC linkage that attaches directly to the transfer case. Spun the nut off complete with the stud broken cleanly off inside it. My first problem is getting the TC lever off the TC. It looks to be corroded...

I wanted to share a wiring diagram I came up with for the FF Dynamics Triple Threat fan kit. I was also hoping for some feedback. I am close to a complete newbie on wiring, so keep that mind (play nice!). Let me know if there is anything I'm overlooking here.

I'm working on pulling the harmonic balancer off the front of the crankshaft. I rented a harmonic balancer puller from O'Reilly's, had to go to 2 different stores to find one. The only puller kit they had, had really buggered up threads on them so I'm not sure if I have the wrong sizes or...

I've been looking at cams lately. Reason being, my engine will be going to the machine shop in the next week and upgrading a cam will be cheap while the motor is apart. After doing a lot of reading, I want to stay with a cam that has 2/3" wide cam lobes which leaves me with the options of OEM...

I'm putting the engine hoist on the 4.0 tomorrow and plan on lifting by two of the head bolt studs on the manifold side. I took the nut off the rear stud near the firewall (the one with the grounding strap attached) to get the right nuts, but the parts guy gave me M10 X 1.5 nuts and I picked up...

Like the title says, I'm working on pulling the motor out of the Jeep for a rebuild, and should be pulling the engine out in the next few week with the trans and TC attached. I'm using a 1 ton engine hoist from harbor fright with a 3/4 ton heavy duty load leveler. I've detached nearly...

rebuilt-jeep-engines.com, S&J Engines, S&S Engines, hiperformer.com, anyone bought? Has anyone purchased an engine from this company or know a close friend or family member that has? Everything I'm reading about the company on the internet is mostly from the company themselves. This is all...

I found this 123,000 mile engine on Ebay which just happens to be in Ohio and looks to come from an ideal donor vehicle (roll over - so the engine had to be running when they rolled it). The engine looks clean, but I'm hesitant about the $950 price tag and '99 issues (does it have a head prone...

I blew the 4.0L motor in my 98 Cherokee. I'm in the process of pulling out the old motor now, and am on a search to source my new powerplant. I'm looking for a '96 to '98 for easiest compatibility. I'm considering junk yards, NAXJA members, and a rebuild (but this is $$$$). If you have any...

1998 Jeep Cherokee 4dr 4.0L AW4 206,000 miles Ohio winter life I'm trying to remove the lower tranmission cooler line that goes into the radiator. It looks like there is a quick release coupler about 2" off the back of the radiator (driver's side). I have quick release tools and have been...

Super fast question... I'm headed to harbor freight in the next few minutes. I went to get the coupons out and found the 1-ton capacity foldable shop crane with coupon for $99! This is on sale right now for $189.99 which is a hell of a deal. I was going to buy the the 2-ton to be on the safe...
