I have a factory service manual for my cherokee and when I had core problems I went to this manual which describes a procedure where you can get to the core by splitting the heater box into two pieces. There are about 9 screws that you take out and you also have to cut a plastic strap that goes...

I have a 60 front and a 14 bolt rear from an 86 chevy 1 ton. I was asking $1200 for both. You would have to go with a dana 300 TC however since the front is a passenger side drop. Dave

I think I fixed it tonight. I replaced the worn draglink and tie rod ends plus I put in new upper kingpin springs. It turns out that the new kingpin springs only cost $2.52 each at Six States. I drove all over the neighborhood hitting the manhole cover holes and didn't get the wobble to happen...

I was driving my 85 1 ton chevy 4x4 truck down the road at about 30 mph when one side dropped into a deep chuck hole. The truck started to wobble side to side in the front so badly that it felt like it was going to go out of control. I pulled over and nothing looked bad so I drove it home and...

I just put a 99 4.0 TJ motor into my 84 cj8. I used a 93 XJ fuel rail, injectors, wiring and computer that was easier to make work in the 84. If you want to come see it and discuss what it takes let me know. The 4.0 uses the stock 6 cylinder motor mounts and bolts right up to the older drive...

I just did a 4.0 swap into my 84 cj8, and would be glad to answer any questions. Dave 84 cj8 4.0, aw4, d300, d44s

You can use a column from a wagoneer, they are 1 inch longer than the cj columns. They work well if you have a body lift. The chevy truck columns will work but they are also longer. I have two wagoneer columns in the basement and a 78 chevy truck one too if you want me to get measurements. If...

Well I think I found the problem. I found that the wires to the first oxygen sensor were rubbing on a metal heat shield for the tranny shifter cable and two of the wires insulation were worn through and the wires were exposed and shorting to the shield. I swapped my spare in and now it runs...

My brothers 99 wrangler with a 4.0 has a check engine light on after coming back from southern Utah. It was running like it wasn't getting enough gas, it would idle but couldn't go very far at high speed before it died. He took it to Autozone where they hooked it up to a scanner and it showed a...

It might have been ivory, it was white like ivory but I'll have to check with my brother who gave it to me. It totally stopped both leaks from the two holes. At the rate it was leaking he would have never made it to the gas station in Green River without the soap. Dave

I had to fix this same problem 3 times on my son in laws XJ. The first time I used the reverse rotation drill bits (Tool center on 3rd west) and that worked fine for the holes I could reach. I had to use a 90 degree drill adapter. The best way I found to fix these was to bag the drill bits and...

On our last Moab trip two of the four Jeeps busted something. My niece's TJ kept blowing fuel pump fuses and the son in law's XJ had a gas tank puncture from the rear exhast clamp being shoved into the tank. We found on the TJ that her extended rear track bar bracket would smash the fuel pump...

My brother has a 78 Blazer that had the tailpipe fall off from his Midas muffler so he took it in to have it fixed. While he had it there he figured he might as well have the emissions and inspection test done. He told them to watch out for his somewhat touchy clutch (too much wear on some of...
