    Chrysler 8.25 wheel studs for aluminum rims

    I searched and I really only found people looking for longer studs for the disc conversion. My problem is that I have a set of wrangler grizzly aluminum wheels. They are about twice as thick at the flange where the lugnuts go in vs. the steel wheels. The front studs seem to be long enough...

    99 Driver side A Pillar water leak

    I swear I made a thread about this years ago, but couldn't find it. Anyway, it all started around 2017 or so with a soaking wet driver side floor. I sealed the top of the windshield a few times over the years and that seemed to help but not eliminate it, but I just can't figure it out. It's...

    Radiator/water pump hose clamp sizes

    Does anyone know what size clamps (the constant pressure type) go on the radiator and water pump? I'm fighting a leak on a screw type clamp on the lower radiator end, radiator was just replaced I hope the stupid thing isn't cracked. I re-used the old hose but probably shouldn't have. The...

    WTB: stock aluminum 5 spoke wheels 97-01

    I'm looking to buy 4 or 5 (depending on price) aluminum 5 spoke design wheels that were on 97-01 cherokees. I'm looking for the light silver ones not the dark. It's probably a long shot that someone would be nearby, but if so I'm about an hour east of Pittsburgh. link to image below...

    Front driver wheel grinding partway through turning not bearings

    Thoroughly disgusted....was sure it was the bearing, replaced it and same issue. It's a 99 with about 160k on it...getting it to a guy tomorrow to weld new rockers on. This is what I feared..putting more money into it and then more issues. It sounds/feels like a metal not plastic grinding...

    99 temperature gauge ECT sensor issue

    Hi Guys, I have a 99 4.0 153k on it. Installed new radiator 2 years ago. About a week ago I was waiting to pull onto the highway and temp gauge started bouncing around and heard a little hesitation and check engine light came on then off. Drove it for about a week then it happened again at a...

    Eliminate brake self adjusters?

    I have a 99 NON ABS with the Chrysler rear end. I have been fighting one rear drum (driver side) running hotter for about a year now. It started with a smoking drum and from there and since then I have replaced the cylinder twice, all springs, the line to the wheel from the axle block and it...

    Front Track Bar bolt replacement

    I need to replace my track bar, there is a lot of slop in the bracket on the passenger side (99 xj). I saw online people talking about a 15mm bolt, but mine clearly has a torx head. I found only a few people talking about the torx head saying it was a 50 or 55. Anyway, so I'm sure this is...

    New shocks question: is it normal to leak a little oil before installing?

    Ok so I was looking for cheap rear shocks but not the cheapest... have used gabriels, monroes and decided on KYB excel-g versions from amazon. They came yesterday and I noticed a little oil on the casing/barrels/whatever the main body is called. I wiped them and put them in the garage...

    Rear wheel torque

    I have been searching for about a day online and cannot find a definitive answer for the jeep 4.0 / 8.25 chrysler rear setup. I want to know which rear wheel gets the most torque: the driver or passenger side? I had one tire that was on the front and the center is worn more (about 1-2 32nds...

    Headliner restoration (paint, no fabric)

    Hey Guys, Just wanted to share my headliner restoration story with the group in case it helps anyone out in the future. It’s very lengthy, but I feel the more information, the better. Pictures at the end of various stages. They are from a camera phone so not the best quality. My headliner...

    99 overhead console RKE (keyless entry) questions

    Hi Guys, About 13 years ago when I bought my 99, I removed the dome light and RKE board. I installed an overhead console, but for the life of me cannot remember if there was an RKE board in it or not. If there was, it definitely was not hooked up. I want to install a cheap aftermarket keyless...

    Front exhaust pipe and additional hanger question

    This is for a 99 4.0 Front pipe question: Are there any other options for the front pipe other than the walker garbage? I think I saw something like an "eastern exhaust" on rock auto, but that looked even cheaper. All I see on amazon are reviews where the pipe breaks at the weld where the...

    99 Rear defroster (not a grid issue)

    Hi Guys, I've been trying to figure out why my rear defroster quit working. I get power on one terminal of the grid, but not the other -not even sure if that's normal. I cannot see any breaks or continuity issues with the grid itself. I know there are 2 bundles of wires that come out of the...

    Turn signal issues switch or flasher?

    Of course I searched, but didn't find anyone with this issue specifically with a jeep that may share the same parts as my 99 xj. For a couple weeks, my turn signals have been acting up. They switch on and off fine and all bulbs work, but after sitting at a stop light for maybe 5-10 seconds...

    Part number or source for Oil filter mount 1999 4.0 HO

    Changed the oil in a 99 4.0 HO the other day and now found something very odd: seems that oil is pooling on the end of the filter (it's parked on a very slight uphill grade). Have to do a little more investigative work, but from what I've been reading, it seems that it might be the adapter that...

    Front pipe interchangeability between 01 and 99

    Hi Guys, When I search amazon or the usual parts sites, I see a different front pipe for an 01 vs a 99. Guy at work has one form an 01, I have a 99. I'm going to be needing one before too long and was wondering if they were interchangeable? Also, has anyone ever rigged up an additional hanger...
