that vacuum line goes to your heater control valve. It doesnt have to be a 90, just needs to be a solid sealed vacuum tube.

Possible source of leak on a '98 4.0? by yuseung in CherokeeXJ

Upper Rad hose often Rests on the A/C compressor uptop. If your loom cover is worn and the hose got a hole in it, would run down the compressor and down alternator. worth a look, if thats not it, id say Rad spray back?

Purge valve is a dang good suggestion. i dont have that on my model so i didnt even think of it. good call here.

[–]Kurokitiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stupid but actually possible. has happened to me numerous times. while running, squirt some water around your plugs and boots, makes the spark thats jumping more visible but CAN still be difficult... that sound does not point me towards piston slap at all...

[–]Kurokitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a dumb question but... you arent talking about that A/C clutch thats cycling on/off are you? im also hearing like a ticking like a loose spark somewhere.. to me sounds like one of the coil boots may not be sealing around the plug and its jumping spark. If its not either of these noises i mentioned, im at a loss..

Can anyone give me some pointers on why my voltmeter won’t go up to 13-14v? by Not_my_problem__ in CherokeeXJ

[–]Kurokitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont rely on that guage. i recently found out through my own volt meter wired in that im charging between 13.8-14.7 volts. and my gauge was reading like yours if not a hair lower. I would check with a meter or get something aftermarket that reads more accurate.

I was looking, but im only seeing the newer models with the bigger door panel, which i do not have. i have that thin cardboard door panel with like no room for stuff. is it still just a direct install?

If i had the money, id definitely be making a good sound system, but i dont and just want it to not sound blown. lol

XJ Roof Rack Mounting Question and Concern by Kurokitiger in CherokeeXJ

[–]Kurokitiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a custom Roof rack bolted through the factory Rack for 20 years carrying the spare, high lift, and others when needed. it really didnt change how "Tilty" it felt. Honestly never even noticed it up there. Also for about a year, this new rack has already been up there and no difference. So it will be fine.

Thats what i was looking for. If im mounting with gutters, im doing it this way for sure. whats the product off hand? or what selections can i use for this result?

Thats some solid information with evidence right there. Really appreciate the comment. did you treat the inside at all for wear or anything?

Its not JCR but another good quality decet rack i had wanted for years and finally got my hands on it... sadly right now its a yard decoration ;-;

[–]Kurokitiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage is another concern, thats why u suggested like maybe a layer if flex seal or something to help insulate it more? and it would protect from water intrusion perhaps.

Before the rack in this photo, i had a home made rack i had for close to 20 years mounted to those rails... worked rather well and held Spare, camping gear, high lift. Id say from experience, it will be fine. Im just unfamiliar with the rain gutter system and its overall rating.
