1064339 Since it only gets hot when you are idling, your issue almost has to be fan related. When the work was done in August, was the fan shroud put back on? If there is an electric fan, is it working? If its a serpentine belt, is it run correctly? Does the jeep overheat if you don't have...

1064464 I would check the connections between the transmission and the TCM which is located under the dash on the drivers side on the inner fender panel. Maybe find a unit with the same transmission and swap the TCM out and see if that makes a difference.[addsig]

1064692 Not to be contrary, but longer shackles do nothing for articulation. The articulation remains the same whether the shackles are 1" or 5". Articulation comes from the springs ability to push the axle and wheel away from the frame and down to the ground where it makes contact. That is...

1064696 Fuel injectors do "click" but not really audibly. Take a 2' socket extension or a long piece of steel rod about 3/8 diam. and put one end on the valve cover, and carefully put the other end to your ear with the part that is in the front of your ear pushed back to sort of "close" your...

1064780 If the pulsating is really rapid, like a machine gun, its sounds like the ABS. If it is relative to the speed your going when you brake ( slows as the truck slows ), then its the rotors. I would pull the wheels off again and visually check the pads both inside and outside, take them...

1064781 I wasn't trying to be ugly, I've been offroading since 1985 and have had a ton of 4x4's from Jeep to Range Rover and in between. I don't want anyone to waste their money on something that won't get them the most bang for their buck. For 90% of the guys who go wheelin on the weekend...

1059513 I'm not sure about the xj, but I just cured the exact same symptoms in my Jaguar by replacing the steering rack bushings with urethane. You need to get under the front end and let someone turn the steering back and forth so you can watch it move. You'll see where the slop is. Now...

1059742 You may have to bite the bullet and get the factory rotors. I think you can buy MOPAR parts online which might save a few bucks. Do a search for 2001 Jeep brake rotors and see what comes up. Why are there no Wal Marts in Iraq? Because there are already hundreds of...

1061177 I had the same symptoms in a '73 Triumph TR6. Finally, after replacing everything short of the engine, it died on the way to work, I got under the back and pulled the fuel line off the tank. Nothing. Got a coat hanger and poked it up into the tank and fuel poured out. Hooked up the...

1061179 I live on a ridge that requires driving down a long grade every day. I always put my transmission in 2 when I start down, and that helps save the brakes. I havn't had any transmission trouble in 4 years, but that is different from manually shifting. My Jaguar has a specific detent so...

1062161 There is no standardization between dealers either, we have two here, one in the main metropolitan area, who has a mix of good and bad folks, and one about 20 miles south where everyone will bend over backward to help you. Their prices are different also. Plus, the one to the south...

1062163 I'm also thinking it would depend of which system he has. I'm guessing "all time" is the Quadra Trac that I have with high and low, and in that system, I don't think the transfer case locks, it does have a viscous type coupling. I think the Command and Select track do actually lock...

1062321 My Haynes manual says: Beofre checking the crankshaft position sensor, check the voltage supply and ground circuits from the PCM. On all except 4.7L V8 models, follow the wiring harness up from the crankshaft position sensor to locate the narness connector. Disconnect the connector...

1062449 If the '99 has the 45RFE transmission, its all electronic, which means there is a Transmission Control Module probably mounted on the inner fender by the firewall. I'm thinking that you may have blown a fuse by pulling it out with the key on. Recheck all the fuses first. The manual...

1062498 Make your wife stand outside until you get it started, then let her get in.[addsig]

1062499 Sorry, I was being funny. My ZJ manual says the buzzer is in the glove compartment relay box. I would get under there and put the key in, and touch the buzzers ( shows to be rectangular and about the size of a garage door opener ). Until you feel the vibration. It won't hurt to...

1062501 I took the hose from a shop vac and used duct tape to hook it into the air box tubing, then ran it back around and into the firewall by the passenger side. Then up and over the passenger seat into the back cargo area. I got a power inverter and hooked that up so I could plug in the...

1063028 Are you talking about power door locks, or are you talking about keyless entry?[addsig]

1064240 On that topic, somewhere there was a post for "european" light assemblies for the zj. Did anyone do that conversion, and are there pics? [addsig]

1064241 Also remember that some vehicles come with semi metallic brake pads which actually have pieces of metal in the composite that can make a "grinding". The harshness of the sound varies from vehicle to vehicle. So, if you have been to the dealer, and you have pulled the wheels off and...
