Are there any strength or rear axle movement problems I need to worry about if I decide to use shackles instead of a 1 inch block. Would it be better to actually get rear leaf springs (not add a leaf) that create the 4 inches?

So right now I have 3 inches of lift. I'm looking at adding some spacers up front and a block in the back to get an extra inch of lift so I can upgrade to 33's. Does anyone know if I need an SYE for this. I see its recommended for anything 4 inches or higher. can I get away without one as...

I don't know if a 1990 has a different sending unit but I had the exact same problem. However at warm my guage never went to 0 pressure though but once it warmed up it wouldn't go above 20lbs pressure. i got nervous but replaced the sending unit first no problems since. You did mention a...

Ok just wanted to follow up. I drove the truck around today to make sure I had enough fluid in let it cool down. Then I just jacked up the rear and put it on some jack stands took out the temp switch and fluid came pouring out. Can i now safely say there is no air in the system?

Thats weird i had no problems. Anyways are you finding it difficult to install the lift? Many modifications beyond the pieces theyve sent you. I'm still pretty new at this but a buddy of mine custom made a lift for his explorer so i do have help with this type of stuff Depending on how my...

Did you flex it out to rip off the fenders or just running normally on the street. I'm running 31's on 3 inches of lift and just had to make a few cuts in the front flairs. However I will be taking off road this weekend for the first time so we'll see what happens there.

I plan on doing that today I have one more run through to fill it with enough antifreeze, i have a new temp switch to install. Will jacking the back end up in the air be sufficient to have the motor pointed enough to then take of the temp switch and let the air flow out?

My xj doesn't over heat it just runs really hot say around 260. This is when Im standing still or going less than 35 mph. Over that speed it seems to be fine. I bout a new temperature switch for the guage to make sure thats not the problem and also drained the system and added new 50/50 mix...

This may be a shot in the dark but my 90 jeep used to stall and it turned out that the catalytic converter was bad. Fixed that and haven't had the problem since. Maybe something to check?

Thanks for the idea of the front hitch, I was able to find one for 88 bucks. My next question would be to upgrade the axle shafts or just get the stronger spicer ujoints? If i go with the spicer u joint does anyone know if 5-260x is the correct part? If I upgrade the axles to the TJ is there a...

As you can see my buddy posted his rig. I was wondering what type of seal is need for the TJ upgrade also is it a specific year of axle shaft I should look for and a good place to find used ones? Is there a write up somewhere Also I was wondering what the common process was to add some tow...

I have a 1990 Cherokee and my 4 wheel drive failed last winter. The shift fork let go. Its works since then. I'm trying to get my rig in trail ready condition so I can go out with my freind whos got a really beefed up 91 explorer. He'll probably have to pull me through some spots till I get...

We put the new rear brakes together and set the adjuster then went in reverse and braked a bunch to set the brakes. Nothing started this off ive always just had horrible brakes and then this winter i hit the brakes in snow and the rear tire kept spinning so we replaced the rear brakes. for...

No I do not have ABS. I will try the back bleeding first is there a pump i can buy at a store that will do this? Also something eles to note was there is play in the front fright caliper which could cause a squishy pedal? Also we bleed all the way up to the drivers side front brake but we...

Well to update even though I've replaced the rear drum brakes I have ZERO rear brake. Is there a way to test the booster. An above post suggested pinching the hose into the booster if it does nothing when i pinch it am i to assume that there is a leak on it? Other ways to test? I have another...

What should i expect when i pinch the hose going into the brake booster? Also you think the mainfold vacuum may be high causing the high idle....what shold the normal vacuum be?

1. I have a high idle after it warms up. I'm thinking IAC. I checked for vacuum leaks. I was going to replace the IAC but then someone suggested the Engine Coolant Temp sensor. Now i dont know what to replace any suggestions it idles so high i cant drive in snow or ice i just spin sideways...

Ive already dumped a ton of money into this thing over the last 3 years for lingering issues that never resolve themsolves. So at this point before I fix stuff is there a way to test the IAC if its bad? Also is this another thing that the fuel injector cleaner may have accelerated. Apparently...

This story starts off by putting fuel injector cleaner into my 90 cherokee I6. I came outside after letting it run for a few minutes to find a very large puddle of gas under the car probably 2 gallons. Turns out the fuel pressure regulator sprung a leak. After replacing that and putting it...

Turns out it wasnt the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator was spraying gas everywhere. Has anyone run into this. I ordered a new one I assume that should fix it?
