Hi, You should perform the following easy tests with a voltmeter: 1) With the engine and everything else OFF, measure the voltage across the battery. A 12 volt battery should read between 13.2 and 13.8 volts if it is at 100% State-of-Charge, depending on type. If the battery reads 12 volts, it...

Hi, No, I added the spacers to see if they would help. Even without the spacers, the sway bar hits (just at a slightly different angle). I'm running a 3" lift, but I'm not sure I really got 3" out of it after loading the batteries in the Motor compartment :wink: I don't know :oops: Ah, so...

Hi, NO. This is a bad idea. You should not connect any loads to the battery without a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker in the circuit. The closer to the battery the fuse is the better. As for the relay, that shouldn't be any problem. Typical horns don't draw much power, so using a...

Hi, Okay, here are some pictures of the passenger side and drivers side sway bar links: (click to enlarge) And some pics of the spacer blocks I added to the sway bar frame mounts: (click to enlarge) You can see that the upper bushings are missing at the sway bar links. I tried adding...

Hi, Now moving your topic to the CJ/YJ/TJ Wrangler Forum where you'll probably get more help.... :mrgreen: -Nick :!:

Glad to hear you got it fixed :mrgreen: -Nick :!:

Hi, I'll take another look at everything tomorrow, and maybe get some of those pics up as well. I just don't think that the axle being of center is the issue here :? Thanks -Nick :!:

Hi, We should also all keep in mind that some forums out there do NOT allow signature pictures at all. I for one am thankful that we can have cool signature pics at all, seeing as how Terry could just turn them all off if he wished (which would reduce this forums bandwidth considerably...

Hi, Switching to Synthetic oil in the transmission really does help! I have an AX-15 in my TJ Wrangler. When I bought my wrangler, 2nd gear was almost impossible to shift into without grinding it, as the syncro is obviousy severely worn. Changing to synthetic oil slowly but surely lessened the...

Sway Bar Annoyance (Now with Pictures) Hi, I'd be nervous about replacing any part of the body with fiberglass. Remember, Cherokees are unibody vehicles. Because there is no discreet frame on a unibody vehicle, the metal body as a whole provides support for itself and everything else. The...

Hi, The following has been an issue for some time now on my Cherokee, and I'm now bumping it up in priority on my To-Do list as it is bugging me: The front sway bar linkage on the passenger side of my Jeep rubs up against the coil spring. This means that often if I hit a bump I can hear the...

Hi, LOL. I've worked on my Cherokee while standing IN the engine compartment quite a few times now, just like you are in your photo! It's very do-able when I have the batteries removed from the engine compartment, as there are very few components in there. It does allow you to see things from...

Hi, You might also hear a little noise as a result of the transmission input shaft having some play in it. IMO, nothing to worry about unless it gets very loud. -Nick :!:

Hi, Darn, I was hoping for a direct bolt on solution to save some time. Oh well, I'll just have to get creative with the welder this weekend... Thanks, -Nick :!:

Hi, Vacuum check valves don't require electricity to work. I guess it could be an electric vacuum valve which regulates vacuum, but I don't understand why they'd need to have that sort of control over the vacuum to climate controls. Yes the vacuum fluctuates during acceleration, but that is...

Hi, Things which are activated based on engine temperature and should be checked for proper operation: - EGR valve and solenoid (check that they are not sticking) - Oxygen sensors - Catalytic Converter - Coolant temperature sensor If you have an automatic transmission, there are probably...

Re: RE: sign the petition... Hi, Yes, this makes good sense. A hard left turn up hill would make all the gas slosh to the rear right hand side of the gas tank -- furthest away from the pump pickup area. And we all know that no fuel = no go (err... unless you drive an EV :wink: ) . This...

RE: Re: RE: Chevy versus Moose Hi, So, I've been working under my wrangler lately, and have decided that I really don't like the big plate they used to mount the transmission and transfer case to the frame. It appears to be a mount and a skid plate all in one. I find it annoying because, being...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Signature pic requirements Hi, Not necessarily true. There are many codes in an OBD-II system which don't light the check engine light when they are set. Of course, codes which DO light the check engine light are more important to the proper operation of the...

RE: Distributor Drive Gear Hi, It shouldn't be that hard to figure out which wire is what. One wire should have +5-volts on it anytime the Jeep is in "RUN". This is the V+ (source) wire. One will be ground. The remaining is the signal wire. The signal wire might also appear to have +5-volts on...
