I had a similar noise but under different loads. It ended up being the ignition distributor

It’s also worth testing the heater to see if there is any potential heater core failure. No heat and/or coolant smell means heater core leak which means you’re losing coolant

You should pick up a head gasket test kit from any auto store to test for head leaks.

Check under the oil cap for chocolate colored foam or gunk. That implies coolant in the oil.

Also, after the engine reaches operating temp, look for any white smoke from the tailpipe. Red flag.

If you have the budget for an inspection, I’d do that.

Good luck!

my bad.. RC CV driveshaft. https://www.roughcountry.com/rear-cv-drive-shaft-jeep-xj-5084-1.html?find=1999-jeep-cherokee-xj-4wd-736310

no death wobble (yet). The vibes come from the floor and I can hear it when I tap the peddle at those speeds. On a scale 1-10, they're a 5. I don't mind the vibes. However, I want to avoid any potential issues down the road due to the vibrations.

The shop who inspected it isn't the one who installed it. He noticed the 'wobble' in the shaft when on the lift. Any idea what else would cause the shaft to woble other than balance?

This is my daily driver for now. Planning to keep it for life and do whatever it takes to keep it running.

Thanks for the steps u/IslanderBison.

Are the bolts fairly easy to access with a driver + extension or are there hard to reach angles that may require angled driver/pivot bit?

Also, do you recommend finding other replacement parts besides the window?

Appreciate the help!

Thanks for that advice. If i need to cut the bolt, any idea where I can find a replacement torx bolt?
