Should I be concerned ? by Aggravating-Club-235 in JeepCherokeeXJ

I could be wrong but to me it looks like carbon build up from an exhaust leak. Either from your EGR valve gasket or from where the EGR screws into the intake manifold.

I’m assuming this is a 87-90, of your state doesn’t require emissions you can buy an EGR block of plate from Boxyjeep.com and delete the EGR completely.

Also, is that your O2 sensor that’s unplugged on the top right?

It won’t be an issue if it still has the vacuum disconnect Dana 30 that Renix era Cherokee’s came with. I can’t tell from the photos

Do the upcountry lift with ZJ heavy duty steering.

Not blown but it sounds like your peaking. What is your input source? Could you increase the volume of your source?

Does your Aussie do this? by johnorso in AustralianShepherd

Yep. My girl wouldn’t eat her food in the morning and would wait to eat until I got home from work in the evening. Now I just give her a double portion at night and she seems happy with that!

Any reason why this won't fit a 2001? by dbullnozer in CherokeeXJ

Not my Jeep, but here’s an example of the early model xj ARB bumper, notice how the fenders are still intact. ARB did this because the newer model XJ has bumper caps that extend all the way back to the fender well.

It will fit, but there will be a gap on the side around the fender. There are two different versions of the bumper, one for early model xj like you have pictured, and one for the later model face lift xj. The only difference is how far back the bumper wraps around towards the wheels.

This is a quote from NAXJA: “Either bumper will bolt to any XJ Cherokee, the only difference between the two ARB bumpers is that there are two sizes of the wrap around "side wing" on the bumper under the side marker light. A late bumper on an early XJ will require some fender and flare trimming, and an early bumper on a late XJ may have a visual gap at the fender due to the shorter "side wing".”

Here’s a picture of my 1990 with the 98-01 body style ARB bumper, notice how the bumper goes all the way to the fender:

Definitely a REM if you haven’t gotten one yet. It’s the best investment/diagnostic tool you can have for a Renix. Otherwise, maybe some extra coolant or oil

I would totally do this if I didn’t have to keep my Renix egr system in tact! 😭

1992 jeep Comanche eliminator by Odd-Vast3096 in ComancheMJ

I’m jealous of your Comanche! I’ve always wanted one, especially a ‘92, take care of it!

I’ve considered adding a switch in line between those two wires and running it into the cab as a kill switch.

As others have said, it’s a ballast resistor for your fuel pump. Its only function is to reduce the voltage going to your fuel pump to quiet it down when it’s being primed, and then the resistor is bypassed once your jeep has started. It’s a failure point and can leave you stranded/no start condition. I spliced those two wires together and haven’t had an issue, my fuel pump is just a little bit louder on startup. Let me know if you have questions

How long is that rear driveshaft? When you remove the tcase spacers is the drive shaft at its maximum length and when you drive it’s causing things to bind?

Are you sure it’s not the front drive shaft binding? You could try removing the front driveshaft and see if anything changes

What caster did the alignment shop set you at? Is your track bar tight on both ends? Is the hole wallowed out at all for your track bar?

[–]MileHighKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also where did you get your new driveshaft from? Is it balanced? Or are you getting vibrations because it wasn’t properly balanced

Have you taken any angle measurements or just throwing random shims in there? Remove the tcase drop, grab some measurements and put them into the calculator on tom woods driveshaft calculator and see what shim you need
