    Check out these rear leaf springs

    Hey guys, I would like your opinion on the arch/flatness of my rear leaf springs. I felt the rear suspension has gotten significantly stiffer over the past 5 years and these images may show why as the leaves are getting pretty flat and increasing the effective spring rate. What do you think...

    Relative Front/Rear Suspension Flex (w/ and w/o front anti-sway bar)

    Hey guys, I'm curious to hear if there are ways to balance the difference between front and rear flex / resistance to body roll. SCENARIO 1: front anti-sway bar disconnected The front is so soft that there is VERY minimal flex of the rear springs Body roll begins to be the limiter once the...

    NP231J rebuld... TC wont re-install... What did I miss?

    It would appear that the input gear pilot bearing is seated too far forward and is prohibiting the full seatment of the trans output shaft. Does anyone know the preferred depth of this bearing in the planetary gear? Im still not sure how I seated it too deep...

    NP231J rebuld... TC wont re-install... What did I miss?

    I rebuilt a NP231J from my 1999 XJ with AX15. 2H,4H,N,4L appeared to be working properly before re-installing. Upon re-installation, I could not get the TC / Transmission flanges to be flush, as there was a 1/2" gap. It seemed like either the trans output shaft was bottoming out on the TC...

    Rear Leaf Downtravel / Do I need new shocks?

    Hey guys, I just added JKS shackles and relocation brackets to my 1999 XJ rear suspension (OME leafs and OME 60053L nitrocharger sport shocks). With the additional equipment, my resting length is 22.5" of the 24.5" max extended shock length (no BPE and stock axle mounting on Chry 8.25). I...

    Looking for confirmation on death of power window regulator/motor assembly

    1999 XJ Front Driver window motor got slower and slower over the past 6 months. One day it stopped responding. I just checked and there is 13V supply when the switch is actuated (up and down). I cannot hear anything in the regulator/motor. Does this confirm I need a new regulator/motor...

    Possible damage to cylinder head or head gasket?

    1999 XJ, 4.0L During a recent coolant flush, I believe I ran the engine with an insufficient coolant inventory. While using a cleaner product the jeep idled and warmed up to ~200 F normally. However, after 1 minute of operation at ~200 F, the temp gauge shot to 260 F and I immediately shut the...

    exhaust build review

    I do not have a crack in my existing exhaust header at this time, and am on the fence about revamping the entire exhaust system in 1 or 2 phases (everything now or just header-back now). Gibson has nickel and SS models that can be found for ~$300 at times, which is what I am tempted to...

    exhaust build review

    Thanks Talyn. I appreciate your input and previous posts on this site. DeftwillP, I'm not sure how you concluded that the previously mentioned fluid and thermohydraulic systems can be 100% uncorrelated. If true, many people would be interested in reading your proof.

    AX-15 rpm issue when cold/hot

    I replaced the old TPS with a new Mopar TPS. No change in behavior. Is there a place that rents analog meters or will I need to purchase one? (have a digital as of now). I am unfamiliar with what are, where are, and how to check vacuum lines. Do you have a recommended source that I can take...

    AX-15 rpm issue when cold/hot

    I have MT90 in the transmission, shifting is smooth, and no grinding occurs. It doesn't dip below idle but upon pushing the clutch in (to upshift), the engine will quickly fall down to 750rpm and then bounce up to 1300-1500rpm and then fall slowly down to 750rpm. Also, bucking/surging...
