The weld seems to be fine...its the door side hinge and pin that are worn and sagging. Bounty Hunter, if you can find info on a reinforcement kit, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

RE: Another humor post I have a 1989 cherokee 4.0. The driver's side door hinge is sagging and it looks like its welded to the body (3 screws hold each hinge to the door). Is the welding a previous owners idea, or are they all welded? And how is the hinge repaired? New hinge pin and door...

SDF, I tightened the steering column on my 1988 cherokee and I found it to be a little more involved. I had to remove the key lock, directional signal switch, and several other things before getting a good look at the 4 screws that hold the steering column tight. I would recommend having the...

A different question would be...why doesn't it rev wildly all the time if the sensor is bad? If its a vacuum leak...where do I connect the T to check it? I have the miti vac...and I was visually checking a few vacuum lines this morning. I would love to have one connection where I could...

RE: ebay legalities - fraud! need advice... I have a 1989 cherokee 4.0 laredo. My idle revs itself to 2500-3000 out of the clear blue sky. The parts store guy thinks its the throttle position sensor. At $95.00 for the part, I would love to get a second opinion. If anyone has had problems...

RE: Re: Detroit or ARB in rear DANA 44? XJnick, Thanks again. I did replace the crankshaft position sensor, and it did solve the problem. I just forgot to say thanks to all the forum writers who offered suggestions. Sorry it took me so long to say thanks. Its cool to get help when...

I have an 1989 cherokee laredo 4.0. While driving the jeep the power steering seemed to not work well. Real hard turning. I purchased a working pump on ebay and filled it with new fluid, and I still have some hard turning. Most of the time the steering is smooth. Is there anything else I...

rear sway bar? The cherokee dies in the first 5 mintues of operation. Once its warm, its fine. Is there a temp sensor that could shut off the whole engine? Or what sensor stops monitoring engine functions after about 5 minutes? I think that's what I need to replace. Thanks for your help.

Graewulf, Filters? As in plural? I know about the one under the car back near the fuel pump...and I will check that one. Is there another?

I have a 1989 cherokee. Lately it has been going dead (engine just stalls) while I'm driving. Its starts right back up, but the sudden shut down is not good for traffic flow. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? I put 6 brand new NAPA fuel injectors on a few months ago. Thanks for...

XJNICK, Thanks for your help. I went through 15 fuses as I disconnected every harness I could find. The Jeep recently passed Maryland state inspection, which is fairly thorough. I went on the assumption that the tailights passed inspection. After finding a ground wire spliced into the wiring...

Looking for flares for this...... XJNICK, Thanks for your help. I went through 15 fuses as I disconnected every harness I could find. The Jeep recently passed Maryland state inspection, which is fairly thorough. I went on the assumption that the tailights passed inspection. After finding a...

working on it today Dang! I disconnected the wire harness connector that goes to the passenger's side tail light assembly thinking that I would eliminate all the corrosion issues at once. I did. The fuse blew with nothing connected on the passenger's side. I checked the driver's side...fuse...

Thank you to XJNick for the long version. I needed to hear the explanation on how the headlight switch lights 'em all up. I also needed to hear where to check in the taillight. Thankyou to JeeperJoe and TwistedCopper. I'm wokring on it today and should have an answer tonight or tomorrow...

I have an 1989 laredo with a 4.0 engine. I'm having a tough electrical problem. I read through several threads in this forum and did not see where anyone else has had this problem. When I turn my headlights on I blow the 10 amp fuse in the fuse box. The headlights light, but my tail lights do...
