Depends, is the car stock? What are your driving characteristics, engine upkeep, automatic vs manual, etc?

steering box ? I have seen on ebay that people sell the tint pre-cut for xj's. Have never heard comments from people who have bought, so do at own risk, but this could make the process easier and possibly cheaper.

york air compressor Wow, now I feel like an idiot. The lever on the side of my cherokee was off and I didn't know that it actually tilted back. I finally looked at the passenger side today (I never am my own passenger) and it had one. What an a**. Oh well.

Good write up on the blowby (including part #'s) is at http://www.off-road.com/jeep/cherokee/xjtech/engine/40ltr/blowby.htm Have fun, Kellen

use brake cleaner or carb cleaner. Coolant needs burping because air pockets can get in there. Have read to point car downhill and let the car run it out, while replacing with coolant when if it gets low. I just replaced my heater valve and lost about 1/2 gallon and just filled it up via...

Has anyone ever replaced the cherokee's swing bucket seats with ones from a different jeep that actually have a back that articulates? The ones in my car just swing and I have seen them in the 2 doors that have backs that actually move independently. Also what is required to do this? Do I...

Try WD40. All you have to do is remove the trim panel and there will be a little actuator that has a black rubber cover. It is located on the most rear part. Mine had your same problem and just shoot some WD40 on the metal piece that goes in there and I also pried up the boot and shot some...

Thanks!! I'm an idiot. Found the section. Kellen

oops

Thanks, I own one. All it says is to fill up with specified lubricant. For transfer case I am sure it is ATF, but would like to know if there is a preferred type and also the quantity to put in. Thanks, Kellen

Have heard there were problems with the 1999 model year with the shifting, starting, stalling and other problems. There is a good write up of it on edmunds.com They do a long term ownership and if I recall they had a 1999 in their fleet for 2 years. The specific url is...

Hello, Car didn't come with manual and have been hunting on internet, but to no avail. I wanted to change out the differentials, transfer case, coolant and ATF on my 89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4X4, I6. What is the recommended change intervals for each and the fill amounts. Also any...

Yeah, my 89 has it, just need the remote. AFAIK they are factory. Just checked ebay today and there is one that should work on your 88. It is from a 90 and is only a single button (only unlocks doors). Supposedly the remotes are rare so if you want one original, then this would be a good...

I think I have seen the infomercial you are talking about. The one I saw was about this fan insert that goes in the air tube supply and "creates" more airflow to the engine. Read a writeup of it somewhere where the results were actually tested and it was minimal. Your call.

Can't answer the blowby problem, but the lens on the top above the mirror is for the factory remote unlock. The remotes are expensive (dealer wants 170 when I called a week ago) and I have not been able to find one on ebay. There is a website that charges $76.50 for it (and programmed I...

The drop in air filter is like 50 and the whole kit (called the FIPK) is like 250, give or take. No idea about performance, but the FIPK (the new intake cone) would in my opinion be better because the Jeeps air box is so closed off. There are also some other posts similar to yours if you...

sorry nick for the questions you already addressed, i didn't see your post Kellen

has anyone ever .......... Allright, I got a heater valve. Now come more questions. Do I need to drain or depressurize something so the coolant doesn't come out? Also the arrow that came with the valve points to the firewall (to the heater core) and the other two go to the bottom of the...

Going to replace clutch.... Perhaps this should have been my first post, but oh well. Got a 89 cherokee laredo, 4X4, auto. Free to me, but has to last. Has a couple of problems that have noticed wafter reading all these posts. 1- plan on redoing ccv and pcv valves this weekend. Also going...

I'll be picking one up tomorrow. Anything special I need to know to install it, as I imagine it is just a slip off/slip on job. But does anything need to be drained or under pressure? Thanks so much for everyones help.
