I consider naxja to have the best knowledge base of all the forums. That being said I am working on a 3.2 cadillac, and replaced the heads(Had them professionally rebuilt, new valves guides etc) new timing belt, properly timed. I am conducting a compression test prior to starting. 5 of the...

My son got hi foot caught on the gas pedal, and caused the pedal to fall too low(Sitting so low it is almost on the carpet). I see there are two brass looking "keepers". One that keeps the cable from going through the firewall, and the other keeps the cable from slipping through the pedal. Do...

Had an oops this morning. A screwdriver fell in between the fan and the radiator(Was preventing the fan from spinning). In pulling the thing out I put a pretty decent size hole in it and coolant spewed out. Drove it straight home(<2miles). However, about 1/2 way home I noticed voltage gauge...

Today on the way home, the jeep came out of OD, the CEL came on and then stayed on. I got home went to http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoECUcodes.htm and got code 45 and code 55. The jeep is a 97, and to get the codes to come up, I inserted key(Did not turn) depressed the trip reset, the...

Well, with the addition of our 4th child, our old reliable and very much loved 91 xj had to go. So, we decided to bless a teenager in our family. She still has it and is enjoying it. However, now, my old F150 has gotten on my last nerve, so I started looking for a nice XJ. Well, I found a 97...

Can you guys tell me what gear you keep your transmission in when towing? I know they say youre not supposed to tow in overdrive. Is there a way to not select overdrive for AW4? AW4 is a 4+O/D correct? Thanx!

Yesterday I took my 91 XJ/175K to the shop to have the rear seal/oil pan gasket replaced. Was gonna charge me $270 to do it, not too bad I thought. He pulls the pan and the bearings and says that all the bearings(Rod and Main) are bad and that he highly recommends he replace them, and that...

This is to the guys who have to drive with and deal with salty roads and rust on the xj's. My question is to do with the rear shocks. I know for sure that I will break the top bolts if I try and take them out. How do yall get around this? Thanx! Tried PB Blaster...soaked for 24 hours...no luck.

Yesterday I went to the junkyard(Theres a real good one up with road with anout 40 xj's) to get a set of leafs to replace my current sagging ones. Heres my question, I pulled them off of a 91, except these were thicker than all the rest...did they make any with thicker leafs...or were these...

Any particular type you recommend? I am not looking for noise at all...just maybe a little performance upgrade. Thanx!!

Wanted to get you guys input if i could. When I start my XJ in the morning(Cold morning) and only when it is cold not after it has been driven. it will leak coolant. It only does it for a little bit, and when I look to see where it is coming from it looks like it is coming from the lower...

My 91 is starting to sag a lil these days. Especially when I tow anything. The leafs seem quite flat. What can I do? Replace them? Where can I pick up a set? TIA BTW it is stock.

Hi guys, I was wondering about where my XJ was built. According to my vin it says Toledo, Ohio. However this guy I know says its actually built in Canada...and only final assembly is in Toledo...seems to me pretty silly to built 90% of a vehicle ship it a good ways then finish assembly...

Today I was calling around about a rebuilt 4.0(mine has 160K on it and i was curious). My local NAPA is a distributer of these types of engines and quoted me at $1379 for a dyno tested long block. Any advice good or bad on this? Thanx!

Ive been noticing last few days my 91 4.0 160K has been clattering quite a bit. Oil pressure seems OK. Should I be too concerned. I know I have read that these inlines valves tend to make some noise. TIA!
