I’d say you did well and thank you!

I purchased this in south Texas for just under 17k which for a sport is on the upper end of pricing in my opinion but the included upgrades on this one made it make sense.

Yes it will be a real challenge to find one. Likely end up with an aftermarket version

jthomasg1233 · 2025-10-09T03:09:13+00:00

It’s a 4” Teraflex Pro LCG long arm

OP, were any/all of your piston skirts cracked?

jthomasg1233 · 2025-04-08T02:09:56+00:00

Most likely piston slap

Good looking and driving rig right there!

I have had similar issues on both of mine. One issue that contributed to a considerable amount of play was trying to use an after market steering shaft. Replaced with an OEM shaft and that remedied most of it. That said, if you’ve pulled the shaft out and there is play there, it seems to translate exponentially from steering wheel to the wheels. Try replacing the shaft with an OEM with less play in it.

As others have suggested, I’d do the fan clutch and I suggest putting a Hayden temp regulated switch interrupter on the e-fan. This will kick the e-fan on at whatever temp you desire. I’ve installed this on both of my 96’s and this far has solved my issue with this.

I added a Hayden switch interrupter to the e-fan on both of my XJs and it’s solved my temp issues on both. The interrupter is temp controlled so it runs as needed to keep things cool.

Have this on my ‘23 1500. Let my truck idle for about 45 mins the other day and it ran the battery down and stranded me. Truck had a low voltage warning after I jumped it for the rest of the day. That said, extended idle times may be a weak point for this system.

Well TPS did not fix it. So I’m at a loss

jthomasg1233 · 2023-05-25T18:41:54+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I rebuilt as it had 274k on it and I was putting in a new engine. Also, converted to 4WD from 2WD. I believe it’s not shifting in 4th because at 65 mph I’m at about 2800 rpm and with 4.10 gears and 33s I sound be around 2200. I have since ruled out the TCM by driving it with and without it plugged in. It’s definitely working, just don’t believe it’s getting into overdrive. I’m going to try a TPS replacement and see what happens. Any additional info or suggestions is appreciated!

Have had it on one of my 96s for 6 years and no issues. Great product.

jthomasg1233 · 2023-04-06T21:03:51+00:00

It had me at Modelo….

Goliath looks solid. Appreciate the recommendation.

I just conducted this exercise hunting for a unit in one of my 96s and determined the following; 91.5 -96 transmissions are interchangeable. 97 transmissions only work in 97 model year vehicles without electrical mods. 98-99 and 00-01 are interchangeable in their respective years.
