does it stall when you're driving down the road or act like its losing power or wanting to die while running down the road as well or just when you 1st crank it up?

Are you sure its not the u-joint in the rear drive shaft?

ya I see a lot of ppl doing the 4bt swap. You can even buy that engine brand new to put in an XJ or wrangler but those are a lot more coin than the older diesel that I'm looking for lol

Ok so I'm actually considering performing a swap to convert my XJ to a diesel..IF I can find the engine…therein lies the problem. So my question is does anyone have or know where I can find either a Mercedes OM 617 3.0L Turbo diesel or a VM Motori 425 2.5L turbo diesel? I've spent the last...

Blocks are perfectly fine to run as are coil spring spacers, like Jester said just dont stack them. Just gotta watch the blocks with old leaf springs. They tend to give you even more axle wrap after awhile

Ok so my stock plastic 4 liter valve cover is warped..imagine that lol does anyone know where I can find a steel valve cover? Or is aluminum my only option besides the stock plastic?

Mine got about 14-16 city mpg when I first got it. a stock 2wd automatic 4.0

So my Jeep has begin idling very low, like 400-500 rpm's and it spits and sputters when I press the throttle. Anything under about 1500 rpm's and it starts to miss and stutter. It doesn't feel like a spark miss but more like a fuel problem like she's starving. I replaced the fuel filter and fuel...

I would guess you have a clog in it somewhere man, since it won't take in any coolant. I assume you've tried filling it with coolant after its running at normal operating temp that way the thermostat is open right?

Ok so I now know I'm gonna have to reposition the rear track bar to center the back axle but I was looking at the front end again today, after talking to a local jeep guru lol here's a couple pics of the pitman arm and the track bar bushings. The angles not horrible but it damn sure aint...

Hey man thanks a lot, I'm sure I can put it to good use. I'm just glad to have a lead as to what the problem is lol

i believe hers is non CV, the rear shaft just slips into the back of the t-case, it doesn't bolt onto a yolk. And I noticed the dog-tacking because the drivers side rear tire was rubbing the coil spring but the passenger side rear was not, put a wheel spacer on the drivers side and the gap...

If you bleed the brakes (which I recommend a vacuum pump..makes it a lot easier lol) and the problem still persists check your rear drum brakes. I had the same problem and come to find out my rear drum brakes were shot. Fixed them and my pedal was stiff again lol

Damn…that actually looks pretty nice lol

Ok so the front suspension looks good, no play or worn bushings, however, I think they may have shipped us the wrong rear track-bar bracket. This is the bracket they sent us, the product description says it fits TJ's with 2.5" suspension lift ONLY. Rough Country TJ Rear Track Bar Bracket This...

Ya I would say it's gotta be something with the shocks or coils, the normal death wobble is a suspension wobble not a body wobble lol

So did it fix the clunk? But as far as driving with different size tires I did it for about a month after I swapped mine to 4x4, just never engaged the t-case.
