Until 8 months ago, I faithfully locked in my hubs and drove 5 miles to lubricate the axle while driving off road. Last September I moved from the AZ desert to Washington State. My Jeep has been parked for 7 months after driving it 1500 miles to get it here. I went to an off road park to lock in...

A friend was trying to help me siphon some oil from my Scrambler to get an oil analysis done. (Analysis came back fine.) However, he used some plastic tubing to get the sample through the dipstick tube, got it caught somehow when pulling it out, and broke off an unknown quantity in the pan. So I...

I have a 1983 Jeep CJ 7, and I cant seem to find a switch or toggle to stop the hazard lights from blinking. The only way I can get them to stop is by pressing on the brake. As soon as I release my foot from the brake peddle, they start blinking again. I don’t know how to stop this. -- for...

Posting for a friend with a 1984 CJ, 258, std. that he's rebuilding. What's the spec for cylinder compression? He's getting 160 across all 6 cyls, which sounds pretty good from here. He's putting a new fiberglas tub on his Jeep and might have a windshield frame from a Wrangler fall into his lap,...

I've had one week to survey my wife's CJ-7. Other than being a rolling rust bucket, with nothing that works right, it ain't got no problems at all. The first challenge is to find out why the cloth doors don't fit, or latch, onto the jagged piece of metal acting as a door latch on the body door...

Well Men, My wife just bought a 1984 CJ7 for me. I'm retired and I'm not real eager to get into the "fix as you drive" hobby. This CJ7 checks out on CarFax and it looks like a fairly good deal. However, there are two immediate problems; and I'm sure I'll be asking lots of stupid questions in the...

Well after arguing myself blue with a 'mechanic' that says no way a Jeep with a carb can pass emissions in California if you disable the emissions computer or do a 'Nutter' on it after the first guy I think to put the directions online: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/jnutter1.htm It gives a sweet...

Hello everyone. I have a 1986 Cherokee for sale(project). I am located in northern Il. If anyone has any interest in this feel free to ask me to email my phone number. I have a few pics of it on photobucket. See attached link. Needs interior work. I can fill you in with the details if you are...

I just replace the sparkplugs on my 1986 Grand Wagoneer, v8. Now it won't start. There is power when I turn the key. Lights, radio, windows etc. No clicking from the starter relay. Car has (within the past year) new alternator, starter, distributer, coil and ingnition module. Could not find...

I wrote in a few weeks back about my Wagoneer backfiring and the dying on the way back from NH. Thankfully your advice was right. I rebuilt the carb, replaced the disributer and plugs and got it going. I had some one else set the timing and replace the muffler (previous owner removed the...

Recently driving back from NH my car backfired twice (travelling about 70mph) and then died. I pulled off road and whan I restarted it it back fired so loud it blew the muffler. Service guy said it was a fuel problem as it was blowing un spent fuel out the exhaust. I did a carb rebuild and it...

I am having a problem with my heater. The unit does not open the vents. The motor works as does the temperature slide. The problem is the top slide does not redirect the air for defrost heat etc. It will switch to air conditioning though. It appears to be vacuum activated and all hoses and...

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...

Jeep idols fine when accelerating slowly no problems, but when you accelerate fast four cylinders stop firing. Any suggestions?

1987 JEEP CHEROKEE CHIEF, 4Door,4WD, 6 cyl 4.0L Automatic VIN# xJCMRxxxxHTxxxxxx with a RENIX ECU and Aisin Warner 30-40LE Transmission ============================================================ Any AISIN Warner Wizards out there? What would be the reason the overdrive mechanism will not...

I recently bought my Wagoneer. It ran great, but lately has went down hill. About a week ago my Wagoneer would not go over thirty five without cutting out. I would have to let up on the accelerator until it would quit cutting out. It was not a good feeling being in traffic when this started...

Hi all, My Dad has an 88 wagoneer which has the 727 auto trans. Here is the issue. When parked on level ground the trans does not leak. When parked on a decline say 8% grade, nose pointing down, the front of the trans leaks, but not the pan. At this time, he doesn't think it leaks while...

I have the above mentioned model jeep with 4liter 4x4. I have 232k miles on it. I bought it new. The problem is this. As I travel down the interstate I will hit a small bump in the road and the front end shakes violently, to the point that I almost have to come to a complete stop before it quits....

I have a 1988 Cherokee with stock height, tires and rims. I am looking at a set of tires and rims in ebay wich are 31x10.50R15LT; I know the rims will fit but will the tires fit my vehicle w/o having to lift it? Let me know? Thanks.
