Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to start looking for the source of this problem: when I try to start my 1999 TJ, the engine will turn over slowly two or three times and then stop turning over, then I'll hear a rapid-fire popping/snapping noise. The lights inside,...

After finally cleaning my tires today I noticed a small chunk of rubber is missing from one of my tire's sidewalls (Rear driver side). I've been wheeling them pretty hard for the past year or so, so I guess I can't complain it took this long... it is down to the threads, so I guess I need to take...

I would like to do a flush and fill of the power steering system. I was thinking of draining the old, then using ATF fluid to do a flush (so fill it and then drive around the farm for 1/2 hr) then draining and putting in the right powersteering fluid in. Question: What is the right power steering...

My 97 TJ needs the brake pedal pumped before driving or I get squealing from rear brakes when backing out of the drive way. This happens when the cold weather sets in.

I noticed a loss of coolant in my '97 Cherokee 4.0l just before Xmas, which developed into a large leak by Christmas eve. After Xmas I got the local radiator specialist to look. They advised that it would almost certainly be the water pump, but they'd pressure test it anyway. It was the water...

Hello, I just bought a 1994 Jeep Cherokee from a family friend on the cheap. Cheap Jeep Yah! Anyway, does anyone know what kind of oil it uses? The previous owner could not find the manual and the sage advice stamped on the oil check dipstick says "see owner's manual for oil type" or something...

Hi again, I am looking at some really clean YJ's whose only shortcomings are their 4 cyl powerplants. Are there any differences in the rest of the powertrain from a 4 to a 6 cyl. Jeep? Any suspension differences? I guess basically what I am asking is, if I buy the beautiful little Jeep with the 4...

I need to replace a leaky rear seal in the automatic transmission. Not sure if I have the 42RE or 44RE or AISIN MODEL 03-40 transmission. My transmission has a metal cup that extends from the end of the tail of the transmission. The seal is seated in the tail inside of this metal cup. This cup...

Hey all, driving to work this morning after about an 8th mile my 4 speed AT started slipping pretty bad. I eased way off the throttle and put it in first and it stopped slipping, I crawled back home. I called a very reputable AT repair shop, he had a hard time believing me, he said the AT is made...

Posted earlier about a temp gauge problem. Turns out I'm getting no coolant flow in my 98 Zj 5.9 . Replaced thermostat, tested it before it went in and was ok. While I had the t-stat housing off I tried spinning the water pump pulleu and got some flow out of the stat hole on top of the motor. ...
