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...

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...
