Hi guys- I'm selling my place and the buyer's inspector came the other day. In his report he says my wiring is not sized properly for the 20 amp 230V breaker for the A/C circuit. I figured he meant the wires were too small and needed a heavier gauge. (I've never messed with it, worked fine...

So my favorite part supplier has been jeepdoc.com for years. Their prices are usually the best and their service has been top notch. Every time there is a "where is the best place to buy" post, I give their name. I'm not so sure anymore. Something has happened... I ordered a few parts from...

My DD 00 XJ (4.0/auto/stock) failed to get me to work this morning. Luckily the CJ is pretty dependable. I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction and get it running again quickly because I need it this weekend. It was about 30 degrees and sat outside overnight, so cold, but...

Hey guys, So my wife tells me today that she's got freezing cold air blowing on her feet as we are cruising down the highway. (Its COLD here in N IL.) Its coming from under the dash on the passenger side, and proportional to speed. Its not too strong at 30 mph, but up at 65, its blowing...

When I switch into 4x4 the dash light doesn't come on anymore. I have confirmed it is going into 4x4, and I can make the light come on by disconnecting the harness at the switch and jumping the harness terminals. Looks like the switch is bad. Is this as easy as unscrewing the old switch and...

We got a big snow here last night. I cleaned the windshield off enough to drive to work and the wipers were working. The snow was keeping them from getting quite all the way to the park position, but this is something I have done throughout its 7 winters... All the sudden about a mile from...

I got in a minor fender bender tonight. No injuries, thank God, and my cherokee is ok, minor damage only. His saturn hood and front bumper are toast. To make a long story short, it was my fault, and I got a ticket. I apologized, the other guy was pretty cool about the whole thing, and I...

Ok, so I hate to post yet another 2100 thread, but oh well... I am probably going to put the 2100/2150 on my 258 this winter. I don't want to pay that ebay guy 300 bucks, so I'm going to get either a junkyard, ebay, or a parts store carb. I have done several web searches and read all about...

I noticed some noise coming from the front of the engine today and narrowed it down the the power steering pump. When I press on the face of the pulley as it is running the noise goes away. The pulley shaft has a little "in and out" play in it; not much, but a little. Has anyone here rebuilt...

I am having a hard time finding a new booster for my 79 CJ-7. Apparently 82-86 models were different b/c you can find boosters for them all over the place. Does anybody here know what the difference is? Can I use the available model without difficulty? I need a new master cylinder too. Mine...

I am in the middle of a 4.0 head swap on my 79. It turns out that my 79 intake doesn't bolt up like all the write ups say it will. I got an 83 intake off ebay and its quite a bit different than the 79. I am hoping you guys can help me understand what some of these differences are. For one...

In the past week now, at random times, my "check gauges" light has popped on in my 00 XJ. The oil pressure gauge reads 0 psi. This lasts for a few seconds, maybe 15-20 the longest time, and then jumps back up to normal 45-50 psi. This has happened at different speeds, different times on...

Two things: 1) My 00 XJ 4.0L has started to show the volt guage drop down to 12v or so when the engine is idling and a decent load is on the system. (different combinations of A/C compressor engaged, fan on high, headlights, etc.) It goes back up to 14v once I get moving. This never happened...

Does anyone know if a 4.0 exhaust manifold will work on a 4.2? Minor modifications included...

I bought a radiator online a couple years ago when my old one went bad. It had a liftetime warranty. A couple weeks ago I discovered that it was loose because one of the welds holding the braket to the heat exchanger had broken. The radiator could move around quite a bit and I was worried...

Has anybody on here installed a Megasquirt system on their 258? Hoobness, did you ever get it done? I have to say, its pretty tempting, and looks like kind of a fun project.

Apparently there is a common problem with 97+ XJs having the power window controllers on the passenger doors stop working. I thought it was just lucky me and had been dealing with it for a while because it wasn't worth trying to track down the problem. No big deal, just annoying that your...

Guys, I posted this yesterday but it disappeared... Anyway, I ran across this write-up the other night. I have seen very little talk of this upgrade on this board, so I thought I would share. In a nutshell, this is the TFI upgrade along with wiring in the HEI ignition module to replace the...

My 79 CJ7 258 has refused to start twice now in the past two weeks. When I turn the key, I hear what I can best describe as a buzzing or fast clicking noise coming from the starter solenoid. The engine does not turn over at all. Both times this has happened I popped the hood, checked all the...

I just saw this tonight for the first time. Does anybody out there have any experience with this? I know the Motorcraft 2150 is loved by all, but this looks like a possible alternative to get a functional carburetor. Auction Link
