    gauge's

    There is a TSB on that problem. You need to put a jumper wire in across one of the connections in the dash. Mine was done on a recall (99 TJ).

    Help! Have Pics. Lift Problem!!

    I got the large automotive self tapping screws for my upper shock bolts. why exactly are you trying to remove the center pin in the springs? You need to hold the other side with vise-grips, it is a pin that goes into a hole in the spring perch on the axle (there is no other nut), you can't get...

    Front end shaking

    try switching the tires front to back. If the shake goes away, it has something to do with the tires. You had the u-joints in the axle replaced, or the ones in the drive shaft? A binding axle u-joint can do that.

    Need fuel pump replacement step by step!

    If I remember right, it's pretty easy on yours. If you get under the Jeep you can see the fuel pump on the upper front of the tank. Remove hoses and wires, turn the ring holding the pump in the tank (may take some persuading), and pull the pump out. Reverse procedure to install new pump. I...

    Lots of issues

    hhhhmmmm.... I don't think I would drive it until I looked at the clutch... With the problems you described, it's an outside possibility that your flywheel is coming loose from the engine.

    Several (dumb) questions

    I have had different luck with the 4-bangers. Don't get me wrong, I like them. But in my experience they are good for just over 100,000 miles, if taken care of. I know, I know everyone knows someone that got 3-zillion miles out of their 4-banger. But in my real-world experience I know lots...

    How To Free "Locked Up" Tailgate Hinges?

    You about covered everything. I have had good luck with PB Blaster. Squirt it on and whack them with a hammer to set up a vibration and hopefully some of the oil will work it's way in. do it once or twice a day for a week or so (if you have the patience). I guess your lucky, I opened the...

    YJ FI and Gearing

    Oh, I didn't know. I had a couple of 4cyl YJs, one auto and one stick, they both had 4.11s. I know 3.73 was an option on the TJs with the 2.5, but I didn't even know you could option it on the YJs. See, you learn something new every day.

    What? are you quibbling over 4.10 or 4.11? It's basically the same gear!

    98 Cherokee Sport starting problems

    It does sound fuel related. Running with a partially plugged fuel filter may have damaged the pump. When it heats up it may be shutting down. When it died was the fuel level low? The pump uses fuel to keep it cool (that's why they stuck it in the tank), so as long as it's running the flowing...

    Oil Oil Oil!!!!!!!

    Do you have good vaccum at the CCV tube (the one at the rear of the valve cover), and did you replace the grommets where it enters the cover? If you do not have good vaccum, your valve cover needs replacing.

    heater??

    I'm sorry I can't give you more detailed advice, you didn't mention what vehicle you have. I am guessing a CJ or YJ because you talk about a carb. I would test the blower motor before trying to replace it. Find the wires going to the motor (should be right over the front passengers feet) and...

    starter

    The second starter has the solenoid built into it. You either need to jump out the one on the starter or get rid of the one on the firewall. Basically the one in the starter is just like the one on the firewall. You jump it out by putting a piece of metal between the two wire attachment...

    YJ FI and Gearing

    They all had 4.11s. If you are looking for mileage, don't go that route. My 95 4cyl, auto, with 235x75s, got about 17 mpg at 65 mph and 19 mpg at 55 mph. It was great around town, but way underpowered on the e-way. My 4cyl, stick, XJ got like 25 mpg. Good luck.
