Also, it is hanging on the straps in the pix. I need longer ones now that I have crossover steering. The Currie TRE at the pitman arm was binding. Hence nice the straps. The Currie setup only permitted about 8.5” of shock travel

I have switched to crossover steering with no stabilizer and it’s still binding but not on the pitman arm heim or any steering components. Trackbar is custom 1-1/2” x .188” wall with a stinky fab stock replacement bracket which is not “stock junk”. Jonny joints on both ends. Most Jeepspeeds...

I have been out of town so I have not been able to pull the driveshaft to test it. I have a feeling it may be the trackbar but I just can’t see where it is hanging up. Maybe it is causing the radius arms to bind up somehow? I am thinking of putting it back on my dads lift to remove the trackbar...

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if the driveshaft was limited somehow from over extending. Btw... I am running a heim joint style crossover steering. The heim joint on the pitman arm side of the drag link is not bound up either. It still has a decent amount of misalignment left.

I have a 97” XJ with a custom long arm setup I built. I stretched the front end out 1-1/4”. My front driveshaft now looks too short. What raises the concern is that my front end seems to be binding up somewhere and will not fully drop out. My arms are a radius arm style setup. I have checked...

Jeep is running great now! After the head rebuild with new exhaust valves and seats, everything is back to normal! Thank u guys for all your insight and help.

Thanks for the insight. You can definitely feel the misfire. It is always there. Under a load and at idle.I tried new injectors and swapped them. The misfire stays on cylinder 1. I need to check the valve springs as well. I also did not check the lifters. The injector harness’s are also on the...

We pulled the head off of it and noticed the #1 exhaust seat was beat up. With a flashlight you could see light passing through the valve and seat. Also, the exhaust valves were pretty pitted and a few of them were not spinning anymore. Hopefully rebuilding the head fixes the problem. If not we...

I tried the mopar combustion chamber cleaner stuff today and followed the directions from the tsb. No results were produced. I am going to pull the motor tomorrow and take a look at things a little more deeply. Hopefully we see something. I’ll keep u guys posted.

Point taken.

Sorry for the typos. I am going to try the mopar combustion chamber cleaner tomorrow. I just read the tbs that u guys suggested in respect to valves that may have carbon deposits are are not rotating properly. Only confusion is that the Leakdown test was perfect that we did.

Thanks for the help. I did look at the rocker arm geometry and the valve springs as I cranked the motor over a number of times. I did not put a dial indicator on the valve springs because they looked like they had just as much lift as the other cylinders. I think this would have eliminated the...

I have a 97" XJ with a 4.0. I currently have the code telling me I have a cylinder 1 misfire. The CEL is on. I have tried 27 different things to fix it and a friend of mine who is a Jeep Mechanic and Engine builder has helped me too. I have 15 hours in the car trying to fix it with no avail...
