'89, 4.0, AW4, 110K. Today, a strange thing started happening. I noticed when I have my turn signal on, the dash clock backlight would turn off and on, in opposite to the signal light. As in, when signal light on, clock off and vice versa. The turn signals are lighting up on all four corners...

I bought this '89 (4.0/AW4/231) in April - 107K, excellent condition. Went for a drive yesterday, and the weather turned out to be pretty warm (low-mid 90s). After about an hour and a half of 65-75 mph driving, I could hear a loud "humming/buzzing" coming from the rear when I came to a stop...

I'm looking at a '98 for sale, and in the pics online, I can see that the driver's side rocker is dented pretty significantly. It's right behind the front fender flare, and is about a foot/foot and a half long - hard to tell, but looks to be smashed in a good inch or two. The surrounding...

I figured some here might be interested in the numbers. I just got my '96 XJ emissioned today, and had a vague recollection of someone mentioning the lowering of allowable limits, so thought I'd share (please forgive if this is old news). The previous test records I have are for '03, '05, and...

...worth owning? My Grandma has one that Grandpa bought new. She drives a newish Chevy Impala these days (Grandpa passed away in '94) that she's happy with, and the Mercury is mostly just sitting. She drives it around the neighborhood once a month or so. Apart from any issues arising from...

Specs - '96 XJ, 4.0, AX15, 181K. Original radiator, water pump and heater core - heat works fine, no leaks/coolant loss, totally unmodified engine/transmission/exhaust. I just replaced the original thermostat, because when driving, the temp would climb to approx 210, then drop dramatically - in...

...and I can't decide if I was juvenile and unfunny, or maybe others would get a chuckle. So, here's what I sent them...no idea why I decided to go with the Borat syntax: "Hello. I am current Jeep Cherokee 1996 owner. I have seen that Jeep now belong to Italian auto maker FIAT. Please to send...

I'm looking to get a set of 3" or 3.5" leafs that are in decent condition. Currently running RE 4.5" leafs, and with stock shackles, the on-pavement ride is getting tiresome. My current leaf springs are about 6 years old - the bushings might need replaced - and are giving me around 5.25" of...

'92 XJ Laredo For Sale The details: 240K miles 4.0L Automatic (AW4) 242 T-Case (2WD, 4WD Part-Time, 4WD Full-Time, 4Lo) ABS Power Windows Power Locks Power Seats (both front) Power Mirrors Overhead console with temp/compass A/C works great Engine starts/runs well, transmission and T-case shift...

Motor is a 440 ('68 New Yorker). I need to remove the intake and heads - the FSM calls for sealant on the head gaskets when reinstalling. Is this still standard practice, or do modern head gaskets not need sealer? What type/brand sealer should I use if needed? Seems like a straightforward...

Sometime early Easter morning, some drunk sideswiped our '92 something fierce (hit and run, probably never get cought). Both driver's side doors are crunched in pretty bad, rear won't open at all. Rocker is untouched, B-pillar seems unaffected, behind the front door, anyway. But, the area...

I'm dumb. I recently pulled the rear shaft due to vibes, and forgot to mark the position on the yoke and flange. I've searched and found a little info on phasing of the u-joints. I have the RE hack-n-tap, with a cv driveshaft. Is it possible I've reinstalled it incorrectly (out of phase)? If it...

So I went and tried to buy some shoes for the XJ 44 I'm swapping in. Two places (Checker, Napa) told me no shoes available for that application - the Napa guy even swore up and down that the 44 was never in an XJ :rolleyes: I measured the drum (inside diameter) at 11" - this means I need shoes...

Getting ready to swap the 8.25 ('96, 5" lift, SYE/CV ds) out for an XJ 44. Will swapping in the 44 change the pinion angle, or can I plan on leaving the same shims I already have on my leaf packs? I'm thinking the angle shouldn't change since it's an XJ 44, but I'd like to avoid the last minute...

I know which axles are stronger than my axle ("upgrade to a 44/8.8" etc), but if anyone's broken an axle shaft with 33x9.50s or 33x10.50s on a 27 spline 8.25 (locked/unlocked, either way share your experience) I'd like to hear about it - how/why did your axle fail? 33's are as big as I will go...

I'm replacing the dash bezel in my 96 from a break in. In order to get the new bezel on, it seems as though I need to remove the plastic "box" that covers the steering column. On the underside of the box, there are two fasteners tucked deep in pockets - how do I undo these? They almost look like...

Going to regear my 96 (30/8.25). Any recommendations on a shop (Denver/Boulder area)? Also, my 8.25 is probably a 27 spline - since I'm not going bigger than 33s, I'm thinking a 29 spline conversion is a good idea (especially with a limited budget). Any companies/websites I should check out...

92, 4.0, 220K, all stock. I've replaced all TREs, trackbar and the ps pump and belt. Ball joints don't seem to show any play, and the tires/wheels have been balanced/rotated. When driving, the steering wheel will suddenly have "no feel" and have about an inch of travel to left or right until...

The dist. on my 96 has started the squeaking noise when cold, so from what I've found in the archives here, looks like it's probably time for a new one. Any tips on installing the new dist in the correct position? I know I don't want the gear to be off a tooth, so how do I align the new one...

I'm looking to replace the TREs on our 92, and Krage (www.jeepdoc.com) has the parts priced about half what Checker charges. Just wondering if anyone has used the TREs from Krage - are these cheap junk, or does Krage just have a great price on parts? This is our DD XJ, so no lift angles involved...
