Inlet hose to firewall VERY HOT.... outlet hose from firewall COOL.. Pulled off both hoses at the front of engine and blew compressed air 1st in one hose (dumping the gunk out) then reversed and used a funnel to pour in WARM water then forced the compressed air the other direction (hose). Cabin...

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.0L I6, over 130,000 miles, Selec-Trac 4WD... Earlier in the month we had snow and record rainfall which cause flooding and an awful lot of standing water in areas where I drive. To keep a long story short, I'm guessing that something that...

I have an 85 CJ-7 and want to swap the engine. I was thinking of buying a late 80's or early 90's chev 1/2 ton 4X4 with a V-8 in good running condition and rusted out body and basically stripping everything away as to make sure I still have an engine and trans that still runs with wiring, computer...

Hi, I recently bought a Jeep Orvis (1998) in the UK, and was told the car code was with the documentation - but I've checked, and it's nowhere to be found. The previous owner has moved house, and now I'm stuck without a radio/cd player! I'm trying to trace the original Jeep supplier, but I...

Well, figured it would eventually happen. Not bad for a 1993 ZJ considering the bouts of deathwobble and general offroad pounding these things have taken. The lower front control arm bushings have finally had it and hoooo boy can you feel the play going around a corner. They had been cracked and...

2000 JGC, V8. Die Hard 60 month battery installed, May/ 2007, just over 24 months ago. For security reasons, I had to leave my flashing security lights on for five hours. This flashes all of the parking lights on and off. It killed my battery. I got a jump start, and the battery...

1987 JEEP CHEROKEE CHIEF, 4Door,4WD, 6 cyl 4.0L Automatic VIN# xJCMRxxxxHTxxxxxx with a RENIX ECU. Where does the Throttle Position Sensor input voltage come from? I replaced the TPS 2 years ago and calibrated the OUT divided by the IN @ 83%, and it worked well until recently. My current TPS...

My friend's CJ-5 has some pretty sloppy steering. I installed a new borgeson steering shaft for him and that helped, but it didn't eliminate slop. There's still a good 2" of play at the steering wheel before the wheels move. Tie Rods, Ball joints, etc are all good. So I tried the steering...

Time limit for voting: through Saturday morning, whenever. Questions: Do you think Bill Hughes's campaign to rid rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys of "trolls" has been effective? a. YES b. NO

Can somebody recommend what shocks I should buy for my 2001 Cherokee Sport? This car is driven by my wife, so I would like to have firm but smooth ride. I replaced the stock shocks in my 97 XJ with Gabriel Ultras and it rides real rough. Thanks Dave

The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS in its Molsheim (Alsace, France) factory... http://9bignews.googlepages.com/most_expensive_cars

Hello Everyone: I have a 97 TJ and 95% of the time it idles perfectly. However, about 5% of the time, usually when the vehicle has been run for more than 20 minutes or so, the idle in neutral or park will shoot up to between 1200 and 1500 RPM. The only way to get it to stop is to put the vehicle...

Hey all, I've got a TJ 2004 dana 25 with 33 inch tires (3 inch lift) with 4.11 gears and a detroit locker (professionally installed by a shop that does this regularly). The locker was installed over 3 years ago/50K miles ago. No wrecks or accidents, so the frame and front end alignment haven't...

is the asshole that argues with him. For Christ's sake, give it a rest and move on. Even better, move out. We've all learned what Bill is about, and we don't give a rat's ass. He is a great resource for links, even if he tends to digress and give replies that are out in left field. You, on the...

Where will the stock 2 piece axles break if they do? I really just want to know if it will still be towable. Kevin CJ5 warn 8000i, full cage, 35x12.50, 2.5" lift, 1" body

Dave (and everyone else who contributed to the thread), we checked out the Jeep this weekend and found the water is leaking from the water pump. Checked the oil and it's black, no trace of water I could see. We replaced the water pump, oil, and filter. It starts and runs but we have bluish-white...

Has anyone ever put a MONSTER sound system into an XJ? By "monster" I mean like amp under the back seat with new speakers where ever they can fit. Probably replace exhisting speakers with better performing ones. I was even thinking about mounting a sub woofer inside the spare tire. I love the stock...

Um, just checking here... I have a 4 inch lift, and stock brake lines. If I disconnect the swaybar, is there a chance that the flex will pull the brake lines out? (2001 TJ) I see alot of those K&N airfilter kits on jeeps. When I go muddin', it's ALL OVER the engine compartment. Do those guys...

All, I went out and bought the heater blower (http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/body/heater.html), and have run into a problem or two. First off, both AutoZone and O'Reilley's only offer one heater blower for that year, so there wasn't a choice between the cheaper one and the more expensive one. ...
