96 country 4.0 242 4x4 Hi Guys, I am not cranking. Parked in a parking lot yesterday, came out and will not crank. Have not been having starter problems recently. Battery is good, jump start does not help. I can hear solenoid click and voltage drops significantly when I turn the key so...

1996 XJ Country 4.0 4x4 242 D30/D35 Can I replace the rear left side axle shaft with ABS tone ring on a D35 with a non-ABS shaft? Same dimensions and splines? I don't think the ABS has worked in 8 years. The shaft in there now has been eaten by the bearing - has about a half inch deep...

96 XJ 4x4 241 4.0 420,000 K's Fuel pump problem. 50% of the time pump will not start, no prime noise when turning key. Tapping the front of the pump assembly while cranking, it will start running. No problems with pressure when running, never cuts out. I guess I need a new fuel pump? Many...

I have some bad grooving around the bearing surface and was thinking of speedi sleeving my D35 axle shafts. anyone know if this would work well and what size sleeve would be right?

Hey guys, 96 XJ 4.0 auto 242 with about 400K on the clock. It sounds like the starter is not meshing with the ring gear. Turn key and just get whir of motor, no cranking - except occasionally will catch if I keep cycling the key repeatedly. Barely starts to inch around, and sometimes then...

96 auto 4.0 with 242 390K on the odo. Recently the speedo has gone wacky - after about 35 mph it starts bouncing anywhere from 40 to 125. Also has started sometimes "bucking" when accelerating usually somewhere around 50 mph. does not go away unless I let off the gas and reapply. Also CC no...

Is there any reason that RS12YC would not be a suitable plug to use in the 4.0?

Hey guys, I was cleaning out my shelf of ujoints as I need to do the front shafts as well as my rear ds on my 96. I found a couple I don't recognize and was wondering if I bought them for the xj. I have a neapco 0153bf, which does fit the xj, And another without a box that is the exact same...

Swapping transmission - have a new jy aw4 having trouble with 1 of the top tranny to engine E12s. Slightly rounded because a regular socket was tried first. I am trying to hammer on the E12 socket so that I will be able to use the ratchet to break it loose. also - how to disconnect the shift...

96 XJ 4.0 AW4 242 Hey guys, I am having a transmission issue with the AW4. I was towing a trailer uphill on the highway one day last week and had RPMs at about 4k at 45 mph. Pulled off the highway and could smell burnt trans fluid. It looked black, smelled burnt, and a lot runnier than normal...

Bad month for my 96 XJ. 4.0 AW4 242. Mileage: 380,000 KM Two weeks ago - PS lines pissing all over the exhaust manifold when turning in reverse. Changed out. Last week - mild engine warming (few degrees warmer than normal) and rattling in the pulleys - bad water pump bearings wiggly all over by...

Just replaced the wp because old one was rattling and wiggly. Refilled rad Drove around the block, temps in the red zone - no prior overheat issue. Let it cool down. Started it up with the cap off, water is shooting out the rad hole. Is this a sign that I have the wrong wp? Just wanted to...

96 XJ country 4.0 AW4 242 3" lift, 350K Started up the XJ this morning and headed in to work, had a bad miss. Drove it the two miles to work and opened the hood, found a nest of grass and pink insulation on top of the intake manifold and the wires to one of the injectors chewed clean through...

I have bilstein 5100's all around. The have been quite good on my mostly dd with 3" lift. They are only 2 years old,about 50,000 miles on them. Over the past two weeks the fronts have gone from feeling good to feeling and looking like a kiddie jumping castle. Is it me or should I have expected...

96XJ, 4.0, 242, 220,000 miles. So I'm hoping for the best, but we'll see. Yesterday I dropped the hammer passing a couple of slow movers on the way to work (late, of course) and ever since I have a 4.0 that is missing badly at idle / sounding rough with some clackity clack audible from the...

96 4.0 AW4 242 I am getting no TC lockup - been going on for a while - not sure how long. This is the DD for the GF who noticed something wrong because the price of the gas recently is killing her (me actually.) I took it for a road trip this weekend - no lockup. It will lock up normally for...

Anyone have a good procedure for pulling a windshield? Note: I want to use it, not sweep up the pieces. I have a good nearly new windshield in my 94 parts jeep and want it for my 96 that needs one.

Just went to put a new Gatorback belt on my 96 4.0 (with a/c) Before I start struggling with it, can someone tell me if the parts monkey just gave me the wrong one? I have here a 4060910 - 91" belt. It seems to be short even with the tensioner fully removed.

I have a new set of 31's coming the week and use Spidertrax spacers to avoid ca rub and still keep the tight turning radius. Has worked great for 3 years, no problems. Someone told me that I should have the wheels balanced with the spacers attached. I didn't think this sounded right. What do...

Is the sender the same on the 94 and 96? My 96 gauge is bouncing up and down like a new bunny on Heffner. It's always over the half way mark - usually between 3/4 and max. I'm guessing a bad sender, and I have a 94 parts truck out back.
