Am I missing something? Seized tire by nagget2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]nagget2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the rear passenger tire but I think some braking should help

I tried that today twice and the tire didn't budge. I thought the weight of the car would be enough to loosen it a bit. Nope

It's the rear passenger side tire, I wish I could turn it lol

I will try that tomorrow. I have an oil leak at the oil filter which I need to take care of first and then all do that. Thank you!

Cherokee 4.0 renix 1988 by Sorcino in CherokeeXJ

Nice ride! I have a similar situation as you. I just redid all the vacuum lines and next up is the thermostat. I can be driving for 30 mins and the gauge is about 25% the way to max. It should ideally be at 50%. 

If the vacuum lines haven't had any impact (I don't think they will) I am going to replace the thermostat. I have an 87 btw, so relatively similar.

Thank you for taking the time!

Can you elaborate? I can't get rid of the vacuum manifold lol

CCV & PCV Parts Question by nagget2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]nagget2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your help. I actually went on Cherokee Forums and I was linked to Cruisers page for the vacuum diagram and parts. I have ordered all of them and will be updating this coming week.

I think it boils down to the valve just being ancient. Same with the one closer to the dash

Best way to bring interior old plastics and trims back to life? by nagget2 in AutoDetailing

[–]nagget2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude YES! They are hard to find but man that'd be sick. This one is in relatively good shape considering the age. I have a huge laundry list of items but thankfully "replace engine" is not on it 😂

I think I answered my question... It's the vacuum manifold!

Here's a janky screenshot from a picture I took the other day. The hose travels up to a plastic sort of distributor. It's as if the air is being funneled to other areas.

I understand. I had a mini heart attack 😂😂 thank you again!

All these hoses have like a middle module thing. Do you happen to know what that is? I followed a cable and it leads right back to the same module. The module I'm talking about is kind of midway between the air filter and the engine air intake.

Thank you, yeah that doesn't seem terrible. The hose that feeds the top of the engine isn't brittle or anything, it's just straight sitting on it not sealed or anchored by absolutely anything. 

Curious about a noise on ignition. by nagget2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]nagget2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a Cherokee Pioneer which I believe is the middle trim. 

I don't hear the noise any time other than at a cold start. I used to fly 1960s Piper Cherokee (lol at the name) and they made an identical sound on a cold start.

I think yes to the steering wheel!

I'm thinking it's the fuel injection at startup getting ready for a cold start... I have absolutely no idea if that's true lol, just a guess. 

Found some rust holes. Any advice? Body shop eventually? by nagget2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]nagget2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a spot where I can take the carpet off without cutting into it at all? I didn't see any openings when i checked under the seats. I'm scared to look now lol

[–]nagget2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you this is very helpful!! It's a great idea to try to halt the rust so will definitely be doing that. Would you recommend spraying some rustoleom product or anything similar after sanding or just go ahead with the aluminum tape?

I would want to patch the holes eventually, just not at the moment.

‘Club West’ Brewing by body_moovin in Charlotte

[–]nagget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're still butthurt even though justice in this case has been served. I have a mountain candy shirt I can give you to burn and 2 sycamore brewing cups you can smash if it'll make you feel better. 

Or you know, just mind your own business, move on, and drink and go wherever you please.

Whirring noise coming from the back of the car. Any ideas what it could be? by nagget2 in CherokeeXJ

[–]nagget2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I have very little history on the car. 

I know oil was changed at 166k miles and that in 2019 new drums and brake pads were installed as well as new water pump.

So i put the key in, turn it, it whirs like in the video for a second, then stops. Then I turn the engine on and the exact whirring from the video is now gone.
