After getting a new catalytic converter and muffler installed on my 96' jeep cherokee sport, I've noticed an egg smell coming from the exhaust when I rev it hard (3000-4000 rpm revs). This exhaust has just under 100 miles of usage. It is not a horrible burnt firework sulfur smell, it is like a...

I just wanted to discuss my experience with a few exhaust configurations that I've used on my 96' jeep cherokee sport for those who are thinking of getting certain things done to their exhaust. First of all, my 96' jeep XJ is a 2 wheel drive 2-door model, hence the name "streetxj" with some...

Hello everyone. My current ignition setup is jegs performance ignition coil, accel cap and rotor, taylor 8.2mm ThunderVolt ignition wires and champion RC12LYC spark plugs .035 gap. Should I increase the gap to .040? It's a 1996 jeep cherokee 4.0 with lots of bolt-ons.

A couple of weeks ago my dad and I installed a gibson stainless header on my 1996 Jeep XJ 4.0. I bought it new for 285 bucks on ebay. The welds look nice and not sloppy. The overall quality of the header looks very good and it was made in the USA (not Chinese). At idle and cruising under 2000...

I had to add a small brace in the middle behind the dam to stop it from warping inwards.

Hello everyone. My 1996 jeep cherokee 4.0 automatic (Aisin Warner) has a recent issue. It shifts up fine 1 to 2, 2 to 3, then 3 to 4 and the torque converter locks-up at 43-44 mph. But, once it locks it stays locked even if I let off the accelerator and coast to into the 20-30 mph range. Until...

Here's an update on the situation. Before I changed my wheels, my dad took the truck to the exhaust shop where they have done work on my jeep before. They have been there for a long time and they do a great job. The part of the stock down pipe that had the infamous dent/pinch was replaced...

And a crappy exhaust video. :D http://s1132.photobucket.com/user/tropicalgrower89/media/VID_20140111_145506_zpscf60f99c.mp4.html

I'm currently checking this catalog: http://www.wermopar.com/parts-catalog/jeep/cherokee/1996/sport/4-0l-l6-gas/cooling-system/radiator What is the different between Max Cooling and W/O max cooling? The one with max cooling is much cheaper. Not sure why.

I don't remember if I have made a thread similar to this before, but just in case, I have a question about increasing the exhaust diameter from the header outlet to the part in which the factory 96' 4.0 downpipe increases to 2.5 inches. My down pipe is just like this one: Even though the...

Good evening everyone, My dad just bought a nice 1998 jeep cherokee 4.0, but it has a couple of issues. There is a even misfire at idle which smooths out completely as soon as you raise the rpm and the cranking sounds slow. It has a new fuel pump, new IAC valve, new Crank Position Sensor, new...

I saw this picture of a European Cherokee and I like the body kit. Do they sell these kits or are they only on some Cherokee models in Europe?

Hello everyone. I've noticed that my 96' cherokee doesn't have the 6 blade auxiliary fan. Instead, it has the 8-blade auxiliary fan. To the untrained eye, it looks like the newer XJ fan, but the newer versions have 10 blades and the fan itself seems to stick it out of the shroud a bit more than...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDXBYahZc1o The cherokee has ported/polished head, ported throttlebody, mustang injectors with higher lph fuel pump, programmer, pacesetter header, 2 1/4 inch exhaust and 75 shot of nitrous. Supposedly also has high stall converter.

I'm going to an exhaust shop tomorrow to replace my dynomax super turbo muffler with a Aero 2525 turbine muffler. My current one is too quiet for my taste. :D While I'm there, I'm thinking about replacing the smaller diameter section of the down pipe with a 2.25 inch diameter one. The pinch was...

Here is a dash customization project my dad accomplished for my XJ :) http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m575/tropicalgrower89/5e24258b-3345-444a-9245-cca066149114_zps1f325bb9.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m575/tropicalgrower89/3da2cae5-84c0-46e0-b1dd-62a23cd07677_zpsc4119e65.jpg...

I think I might have a moderately burnt exhaust valve. I keep having a slight miss fire at idle, even though the ECU has no codes and all the sensors are good. It smooths out a bit when the engine warms-up. The engine runs strong with zero backfires. The previous owner drove it quite a bit...

Since I'm going to change my intake manifold, I was thinking that might as well change the header too. I can't afford expensive headers like Borla, Gibson, and other big brands, but the APN looks like a great deal. The only problem is that some people needed to do some slight mods for the 99-04...
