Re: grr-rah An easy thing to check might be a bad catalytic converter. When mine went bad it ran really rough and even shut off a few times because it was to clogged up with whatever is in the converter. Thats just my thought someone with more experience may have a better idea though.

I am blowing oil onto the filter and I thought i may have fixed that last summer. I replaced the rear grommet on the valve cover because it was pretty sealed up. Should I check the front one as well to see if that is old and clogged. Is there a way to check the rest of the system to? Thanks...

its an XJ 1990. the guage stays pretty constant its not at 40 but a little below it. I didnt change my oil for a little over 4 months and a lost about a quart so im not sure if that just burned off because its old or it leaked out i did a lot of long distance trips in that time period. I just...

I have replaced a blown head gasket, the valve cover and the attatchment to where the oil filter goes was leaking and that was replaced all about 2 years or so ago. I'm leaking oil again not to much I just dislike when my vehicle leaks. Any suggestions on how to find a leak and what types of...

Thanks for all of your help guys. I do have the chiltons manual so with your advice and the book it shouldnt be a problem at all. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run into any tricks.

I'm going to replace my belt this weekend on my 90 cherokee 4.0. Is there any suggestions or things to look out for while doing this I've never done it before but I will have help from my brother who a little more knowledgeable than I am. thanks for any advice.

RE: Have you ever had Muddy Nutz? There is a ton of snow coming to Minnesota tonight and I need to get around my 4x4 high i guess it clunks or jerks when im driving what could this be. It does it at all speeds and when im turning it sort of jerks on and off. Is this a transfer case problem? it...

RE: Some custom work for ya... Well after hitting a deer at 55 MPH I get the jeep back on wedensday to diagnos my other problem. I posted awhile back about a hissing when I hit the brake pedal and many thought it was the booster. Is there any test i can do to pinpoint the hissing noise to see...

renegade package?? Just wondering what parts you replaced on yours? What did you find the actual problem to be? I have had this problem for probably 2 years and never bothered to fix it till now. Its not bad but driving when there is snow with my brakes like that is a pain and nerve racking...

Thats exactly what it is. I hold with steady pressure and then it makes the hissing noise. If i apply a lot of pressure i can lock them up but it takes me pretty much standing on it to do so. Is that something that is hard to fix or do they have some sort of rebuild kit incase some seal goes...

My brakes are kind of sloppy when I hit the pedal. They work but definetly could be better. I'm afraid that since I hit the brakes so hard that when it snows they are just going to lock up because of how hard I'm braking on dry pavement. I can hear a hissing sound from the pedal area when I...

Guess that arcade sound Hey MudderChuck thanks for all your information. If you could give me some tips on cleaning the TB that would be great. I'm just starting to learn about this stuff and am eager to get the jeep running in tip top shape. I hate when its not. Also how do you change the...

RE: Re: RE: Jeep Gladiator Concept Truck One other thing. You mentioned that would mess up the MAP sensor possibly. I've sorted looked into that already and theres diagrams I've found where you can build a MAP sensor adjuster and if I did this i was going to find a Air/Fuel sensor so I could...

What did you tune up to get yours running good? Along with what sensors because I'm looking to do that over my winter break from school so she runs like a champ and thats when i will actually have money and the time to do so.

RE: Fuel Gauge Thanks for the response. If i run across extra money i was gonna look into the header. I was also looking to get it for maybe some added volume to the exhaust. Does it help with that at all? Also i want a muffler thats a little more throaty but doesnt sound stupid. I have a...

RE: Newest, Youngest Jeeper, Its a Girl!! I'm looking to add a little performance to the jeep that I have. So far i have a K&N 6x9 intake and a catback exhaust system. I was wondering if anyone has found a header for the 1990 jeep cherokee automatic 4.0L. I have found a few but some wont...

RE: OK, a new upgrade Thanks for all the replies. I actually just went and exchanged the oil for 5w30 so im all set. I was wondering if anyone had any information on whether the "max life" oils actually help out with high mileage engines?

Whats a good oil weight for winter? I usually put in 5w-30 always but this time i must have been tired and accidentally bought 10w-40. Is this going to be a problem if i put this oil in today? I have to drive a long distance on friday and i just want to make sure nothing adverse will happen...

1046607 how much would a new master cylinder cost when you got it done? also i dont know much about this sort of mechanical stuff but could there be a problem with the brake booster or is that part of the master cylinder? anyone have any other suggestions it might be as well?[addsig]
