    Tie-rod end or ball-joint?

    MudderChuck, You are a true hero ! Your diagram is priceless. Part number "8" is actually a (really long) tie-rod end. The parts-guys think we're totally crazy. Thank you, again ! COPCO

    Tie-rod end or ball-joint?

    Oh, great pool of information and wisdom: I know someone can help figure this out. 1988 Cherokee 4x4, 4.0L engine, auto.trans. My understanding of this thing is that there is a center-link, a trac-bar, a tie-rod and control arms as well as a steering stabilizer. Is the right end of the center...

    Steering gear box seals

    Say, Bounty Hunter, Can you tell me a bit more about the 99 Durango gear-box swap ? Is it pretty much a bolt-on or does it require a bunch of modifyin' ? Thanx, COPCO

    Overheating, Overheating, Overheating

    Thanks, 54CJ3B, now that's a new one to me, but makes tons of sense. I wish I could recall what that guy told me a couple of years ago; it was something like removing a plug near the rear, upper portion of the block to let the air out but I just don't remeber. And, alka seltzer, makes perfect...

    Overheating, Overheating, Overheating

    Hey gang, we've got a 1988 Cherokee with a 1998 4.0 in it. Everything seems great except it overheats constantly. Is there a secret to getting enough coolant into it. I've followed the book to the "T" on the correct method of filling the coolant tank and it still overheats. It seems to me...

    Steering gear box seals

    Thank you, Steelheadz ! After rebuilding my '39 Chevy gear-box it can't be too bad. I did hear that Lucas leak-stop was an option to try first. The diagram is great; thanks, again. COPCO

    Steering gear box seals

    Greetings, Jeep fans, 1988 Cherokee 4x4, power steering, is leaking from (it appears) the input shaft of the gear box. I would guess there's a seal in there; how tough is it to replace that thing? It looks like the hoses are dry and no leakage from down below. Will appreciate any help...

    Stroking a 4.0L ?

    Wow ! Between you and steelheadz, I think we can work it out. The last time I inquired was about the leaf spring - (never trust your kid before you look for yourself) - I think it was Steelheadz who set me straight on that deal. After all the hot-rods I've built, you'd think I'd look for...

    Stroking a 4.0L ?

    Does anyont know if there's an older crank which fits the newer 4.0 L engines and which has the ultimate result of making a "stroker" engine of the 4.0 L ? We've heard rumors but nothing definitive. Thanx, COPCO

    Move leaf springs to topside of axle ?

    My son has an '88 cherokee (4-door) with a '98 4.0 L engine in it and an automatic. I was told that the leaf springs can be changed from below the axle to resting on top of the axle. I've been building hot-rods forever but have never tried anything like this with a 4-wheeler. If this is...
