Re: Frame stiffeners I'd reccomend TNT just add some holes for plug/rosette welds and you'll win over some more business. I certainly don't want to plug weld 120 of them, but maybe 15-20 per side might be worth it.

Just had a Banks Header, Catco hi-flow cat and dyno max cat-back exhaust installed and when cruising (not accelerating or coasting) I get a wierd bucking thing going on, It never happened before the install. If I step on the gas or let off it goes away. It happened at 50-60 mph, but seems it...

I just replaced my starter w/ a remanufactured Napa unit. It works fine, but there is a pronounced gear whine at start-up. It there any adjustment to it? There is a bolt above the rear mounting bolt (is that a adjustment bolt?) My cheap-o repair manual doesn't mention it. There were adjustment...

I've read all the treads on seatbelts, but my question is this: I've got a '96 w/ a busted pass. side retractor. I found a '88 parts Jeep that was a postal vehicle and has only 43K on it. If I swap out the retractor w/ webing AND the female end will everything be ok? No differences that will...

I've got a corrosion problem w/ my driver door speaker cable conncetions. Probably the 2nd time I've lost connection due to "green" corroded conncetions. The root of it all is what I suspect, the gap where the outside wiper seal and fixed cigarette window pillar allows water to enter. I'm...

Finished my radiator, water pump project and eveything is nice and cool, but I have a pronounced "whirring" of my fan. Did I put my blades to my fan clutch on backward? I can't hear my engine growl when I step on it now. I just hear my fan. Engine temps are way cool now though. Anybody know...

So I'm hooking up my new radiator, cleaning things up underneath and I see two wire fittings taped together (but not connected)under the radiator where the uni-body mates w/ the rad, etc. I bought this Jeep new back in '95 (it's a '96 XJ Classic, 4.0, 231, AW-4, D30/35, ABS, Up-Country) Is this...

Dealer didn't have the rad hose w/ spring inside. Napa didn't either, but I have it. Will it work or w/o the spring or should I wait and have the dealer order it on Monday? My one day project will then turn into a 4 day project if that hose comes in on Tuesday! Fun....

Guys, Just one last tread to make sure my Saturday goes well w/o any unnecessary trip to the parts store. Here's the deal: '96 XJ Classic, I-4, AW-4 w/ 133K. My water pump bearing is rattling like crazy so Sat. is the day. Here's my list: 1-Water Pump & Gasket 2-Thermostat & Gasket 3-Radiator...

I saw one recommendation to scuff the Dynamat Extreme so the Herc can stick to it, but anybody have 1st hand experience? Yes, I clicked the nifty "HAs this already been asked?" button. I've ripped my carpet out due to a poorly installed windshield. It's going to the glass shop today, so once I...

Hi, guys. Been reading the tread on flushing the radiator, etc. My hoses are becoming warn and time for a new set. Question: While I'm at it, I'll flush the radiator. I've had some dripping of coolant when I let the 'ol '96 XJ sit from Thursday-Sunday i the garage (dripping seems to be off the...

Guys, Just had a 4" rain on Tuesday here in Frederick, MD.and noticed my glovebox had a puddle of water in it! Had my windshield replaced almost 5 months ago w/ no leaking. The installer came by today and checked the windshield and said it looked ok. He said most leaking shows on the floor if...

Greetings, How would I change just my user name? I'd like to change aplatz to Platzie. Thx!

I had a fuel leak from the fuel filter area. I first replaced the fuel line (since I just replaced the fuel filter about 1 year ago). The 3/8 fuel line I got has "not for fuel injected systems" written on it. I seemes to work fine. So what's the difference? Is it dangerous?

Guys, I've had a set of Hella 500's on for almost 1 year and had my fuse blow. I replaced it and it blew within seconds. Any area's to check? All the conections to the relay seem fine. I haven't taken the lenses off to see if a wire is loose and shorting out. Only other suspect is maybe my...

Guys, Looking for a TAC SENSOR on rockauto.com and not seeing it. I see a few other sensors like: Air Change Sensor, Eng. Temp. Sensor, and Idle Air Control. Can anyone shed some light on this. Thx

Just did the key diagnostics. What's a MAT sensor? manifold ambient temprature? Meaning my tb is dirty? And 56? No code for that in my Chilton book. HELP!!!

Greetings fellas, I have a '96 Classic w. 4.0l, AW-4 w/ 120-plus miles and just moved to Frederick, MD, where I need a emissions test this month. On que, my check engine light keeps appearing. It seems to go off on a full tank of gas. Here's a few symptoms maybe you can help me with. I just...

I've got a '96 Classic, 4.0, AW-4 w/ 117k. I've been keeping track of my gas miledge and recently switched back from 30x9.5 General Grabber ST's to 235 BFG AT's. My miledge seemed to get worse. I didn't change my speedo gear ever. I've changed my fuel filter. I am the only owner, and have...

Guys, I have a '96 XJ w/ a 4.0l and bought a new fuel filter after 114k. Question, does the fuel system stay pressurized when the engine is off? My manual said pre-'96 were not since the fuel filter is not inside the gas tank. It's on the frame rail (I checked to make sure) Yay or nay? Just...
