So I'm helping my roommate swap his engine and transmission into another XJ from one he rolled. We both have/had 96'es 4wd with a 4.0 and AX-15. How much play is there supposed to be in the input shaft? We pulled the engine and transmission apart (he thinks the input shaft seal is leaking) and...

Free gauge cluster from a 1996 XJ. This one has the full set of gauges. It should fit the 91-96 model years. Has some very fine scratches on the clear plastic and the trip odometer does not work properly. As far as I know, nothing else is wrong with it. Free if you pick it up. I will ship it if...

Today there was a Comanche with what looked to me like a rear Dana 44. Renix era 4.0, probably 1987 and still in pretty good shape. Had a decent bed and clean looking interior parts and was in pretty good shape compared to the crap usually have there. Its in the truck section towards the back...

The cheque and application I sent in for NAXJA membership was returned by the post office with a message saying that the P.O. box I sent it to has been discontinued by the owner. Is this true. Should I send my application electronically, and if so, will anyone be there to process the information?

I have some VERY powerful electro-magnets- they are used to hold steel security doors shut, I was wondering if its feasable to take their coils out, encase them and fit some handles and buy the powder. I also have the transformer (125AC to 24 vdc I think). I could have a magnaflux machine for...

Not what you were expecting by the title, but yesterday I replaced my valve cover gasket. While I was in there, I also replaced my temperature sender (at the rear of the engine) and the engine ground strap while I had easy access. But I diddn't expect the coolant to come out of the hole with...

So, my brake shoes were shot (cracked and locked up easily) after having the brake fluid leak onto them. I spent a good couple of hours last sunday installing new rear shoes (actually old spare ones, got some used cylinders weeks ago). Its not that rear brakes are hard to do or that I don't have...

Its pretty lame if you ask me. Why diddn't Chrysler (or AMC) use a normal shaped bolt head? I needed to replace those 3 O-rings, but there was no way I was going to try and torque that thing up with the torx fitting all stripped out like it was and my torx socket was too long and difficult to...

Hey guys, I want to know what is the trade name for this wheel (as it was referred to by the Jeep company and dealerships). They're from an 80-something Wagoneer I got at a pull-your-part years ago. I like the old school look, and may have them resurfaced eventually. I just want to know what...

My jeep seems to be leaking oil from where the distributor body meets the block. So, I picked up a dealer seal for it- really its just a round gasket that I guess goes between it and the block. I think its the "distributor mounting gasket". But, I also found a pool of oil inside the distributor...

A lot of people have recently expressed interest in swapping their idiot light cluster for the full gauge model. This is easily accomplished on the XJ as vehicles with the full gauges do not have any wiring harness differences or different gauge panel dimensions. I have recently completed a...

Hey guys, I also have this 1977 Dodge Power Wagon (full size 1/2 ton pickup) thats equipped w/ a Chrysler 9 1/4 rear axle. It looks like the axle in later xjs (8 1/4) but its a 9 1/4. Its got 4.10s I think I'd like to know: a.) How strong is this rear end? Esp., how strong in comparison to a...

Since we were just talking about the cars we like/dislike, lets hear some car stories. So, what was your first hunk 'o junk like? Also, tell us about your favorite and least favorite vehicle (I have a feeling most people will mention their current Jeeps- thats ok). But, please keep this based...

Hi guys, I am going to rip out my stained, stinky carpet and paint on grey bedliner (after removing seats, console). I am not going to the rear cargo area, its carpet is clean, just the front passenger area back to where the carpet ends under the rear seat. I know some other people have done...

So I was a lettin out my clutch at a stoplight on level ground and I hear a bang and feel a jolt. Jeep did not stall I think something broke like a U joint so I pulled over and get out. Nothing, jeep runs fine, I go home. I check ball joints, springs, u joints, etc. Am I missing something? I am...

Maybe someone here has these two items. I am looking for the instrument cluster that has a tach and real gauges, with at least 140,000 miles, the 91-97 or thereabout fits I think. It needs to all work. Also, I want an air filter connector w/ the leg to bolt it and the ccv fitting, not...
