Wife complaining about the smell from the A/C in her 96 XJ.. I found the drain for the evaporator and made sure it was open, then funneled some water into the drain pan and let it run out a few times. Then let some anti-mold bathroom cleaner run into the pan. Vacuumed then blew out (with air)...

www.howstuffworks.com ,has a decent presentation on how, 4X works. Worth a read, even if you have a handle on the processes.

AWD Jeep bike Noticed on two different XJ´s 4.0 pre 91, in the last month. The bottom cross support (from end to end bottom) for the radiator, is rusted and probably getting a little thin. The mounts/supports are a good 6-7 inches in from the end. The ends are where most of the coolant is...

95 YJ almost complete conversion. Need a little advice. I think the fan clutch, on my XJ is going out. The AUX fan seems to be coming on more often. Went picking through my shelves in the garage, and noticed that the bolt pattern on many/all of my Dodge clutches was the same (but the fan had...

My liability insurance just went up, I asked the company why, there answer was they were using a new formula. Jeeps typically cause more damage to other vehicles in a collision. So they pay more for liability. I said fine, how about lowering my comprehensive and collision coverage, sorry but...

My CJ keeps blowing valve covers... Everytime, I start complaining, about a crappy job I don´t want to do. I think of the Firefighters at the world trade center. They sure didn´t want to hump 100 some floors, with respirators and equipement. Did it because it was duty. Some of our best...

I had a fairly pronounced miss/cross fire/stumble at around 2000 RPM in high gear. I`ve been slowly changing out most of the questionable ignition parts, often with some success. As the problem got better, but never did, really go away. To make a lond story short, I washed the under side of...

1041610 I like my Jeep we have alot in common, we are both old and have seen a few miles. We both have a soft top, assorted dings and dents, some loose joints, and a noisey rear end, but we keep right on chuggen. [addsig]

1041685 Went down to the local Jeep dealer the other day, stood around for about an hour, everytime I´d make eye contact with anybody they´d look real busy. Finally got tired and left. Went to a used car dealer for Jeep, told him there was a hole in the cat and the trac bar was shot. He as...

1045660 The wife parked her 87 on the roof and we recently bought a 96. Question is, the cooling fan seems to come on often, usually when making many short drives and stops. It seems to come on at every stop light. Should I be looking for a problem or does this seem normal for this year...

1048011 Found a 91 YJ clean,very little rust (which is rare here,snow country) soft top, half doors, white with about the ugliest yellow top I´ve ever seen. The Jeep isn´t running (not unusual) appears to be an ignition problem (probably the magnetic trigger in the distributor). The motor...

1052195 A dozen of us headed out into the local hills, on a week night, just to fight boredom. We where all driving with the lights out, because the area was closed due to fire danger. A younger and crazyer member of the group, took it down the side of a hill covered in bushes hit the bottom...

1052202 Wife says out of the blue, "would you be interested in a 98 Wrangler". As my mind races through about 1000 thoughts, from the Twilight zone, to the X files, I answer Yup. Don´t know what her motive is, or if this is for real. But I could use some advice on what to look for, just...

1053453 Every time someone brings up the old auto transmission, you hear alot of noises. A couple of transmission´s, that would take a lot of abuse where the TH350, TH400,and the torqueflight 727. These transmission´s didn´t really get a bad rep, until after they started with lock up...

1053598 On the way home from work, driving about 20 MPH, the guy behind me is late for something, passes (waving his right arm in the air), dodges back to the right, decides he better stop, for that light and the car ahead and BAM. Whole county is covered in a 1/8" sheet of ice, I wonder how...

1054164 OK they say the only dumb question is the one you don´t ask. Wifes XJ has the plastic window tint from the factory (pretty dark). The rear window is also tinted, and in the rignt light or no light I´m blind backing up. The mirrors arn´t big enough to see much and when they are...

1057452 French President reportedly upset over new American motto. "The heck with Iraq bomb Chirak. It was reported: That a car backfired in Paris today, France surrenders, women seen waving there undies out the windows, to welcome the invaders. It was reported: The liberal party in Germany...

1058703 I´m looking at a 91 XJ, thinking about buying. It has a strange layout in the engine compartment, I´ve never run across before. 4 ltr. I-6 There is an electrical box, next to a stock early air box and the drivers side fender. It has two multi pin connectors (like fifteen apiece)...

1066427 First time I´ve had my new (used) 88 XJ 4 Ltr. over 70, it started cutting out like it was fuel starved. I got off the interstate and on the curved offramp (a little to fast) it cut out again. The tank was just filled (hope I didin´t get a load of bad gas). My plan of attack is to...
