    K & N air filter

    1068370 Let me toss my two cents in about "pleated gause" air filters..they certainly do increase performance, which is the objective. This like any other product must be applied and maintained properly. Typically these units are used as single stage filtration..this may work well for a street...

    Too low of a gearing?

    1068377 When I put 33's on my XJ it KILLED the power, and the fuel economy. After much thought and listening to advice from the folks here as well as people i know, I had the 3.73's removed and 4.88's installed...before it would not go on the road well at all. And forget pulling a boat or...

    the biggest tires.

    1068663 I have 33's under my XJ....with around a 4.5 lift or so...but Major Trimming...came to my construction party too.....dont forget that if you go very big on the tires, you will need to add some gear too. But if you actually spend time Wheelin' it's worth it..and be sure the tires are...

    tires and rims

    1068665 Just dont forget that the suspenson lift is only a part of the total package. A really tall lift will need driveshaft and most likely transfer case modifications too..My XJ is at around 4.5 to 5 inches lifted...so far i havent broken any u-joints or shafts yet.. if you have the double...

    Cherokee Clutch problem (again)

    1068668 If the previous clutch repair was only a disc and release bearing...incomplete job...leaves room for many things to cause rapid reoccurance...a clutch job should ALWAYS include a disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing and the refinishing of the flywheel...and use a high...

    weber carb issues

    1068785 Combustion byproducts, unburned fuel, water, and various acids are removed from the crankcase by the PCV system...If you don't have one on a street engine, after several thousand miles the sludge created will cause major problems...and the acids and water will attack and damage the...

    new lift, now need tires...

    1064833 What are you going to be using your jeep for mainly??? If you are going to be mainly street driving..go with AT's. The more blocky and agressive the tread, the shorter the street life will be...and they will be noisy if that matters...But if yah like the mud like Ole Dawg...

    cherokee's on the gimp HELP!

    1064835 Take the distributor cap off and check inside for moisture...Douse it inside and out with a LOT of WD-40. It is hard to get the distributor wet in a cherokee, but the jumping around thing could be from a crossfire due to a wet distributor or ignition coil. Also check the main harness...

    2001 Cherokee rotors warped again!

    1057246 If there isn't an inherent design flaw in the rotors....some manufacturers have brakes that are notorious for warping rotors (personally i dont know about Jeeps)...the culprit is HEAT....either misuse such as riding the brakes....or heat cycling from habitually waiting till the last...

    1057759 My Jeep dealer says that anthing built prior to 1990 has little to no useful data available. They tried looking up some stuff for my '85 model... no luck at all. The service manager told me that around that time Jeep used about anything they could get their hands... case in point... i...

    Auto Transmission not downshifting ???

    1058079 Look at the fluid...it should be nice and clear red...and shouldnt stink...I recommend that you take it to a reputable trans shop for analysis..if the fluid looks and smells good and there is no slipping or chattering most likely it is something simple...like maybe the cable has come...
