What size serpentine belt do I need I'd I want to bypass the A/C compressor on a 1996 ZJ 5.2L? Thanks in advance!

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic (4.0L RWD automatic) The AC compressor started making a lot of noise recently. Makes more noise when AC is OFF, but still makes quite bearing noise when the entire compressor turns and AC is ON. I'm worried that the compressor will seize before I have an...

Thanks!

I need torque specs for a few bolts: Pitman arm nut, and 3x steering gearbox bolts (the ones that hold the gearbox to the frame.) Thanks!

So I understand that I won't get a code for a bad O2 sensor since the O2 sensor monitor isn't running... However, is it reasonable to then assume that a bad O2 sensor would prevent the monitor from becoming ready in the first place?

Coolant Tempe Sensor was just replaced (before the most recent 350 miles of driving). It was previously throwing a code and turning on the check engine light. The Jeep has run MUCH better since replacing the sensor, and the temp gauge is back to where it should be, but the ECU has never been...

This is for Evap Monitor, correct? Seems this step should have completed successfully numerous times by now, I would think. What sensors are used when this system is functioning? Maybe its just a loose connector somewhere?

2000 Cherokee Classic RWD 4.0L My registration has just expired because I cannot get my Jeep to pass emissions. No codes or check engine light coming up, Jeep runs absolutely fine, gets great gas mileage, etc.. Can't pass emissions because the ECU reports not ready for testing. The three...

havent measured the to the center of the axle, but it "looks" off by a noticable amount. Now, whether the difference is the actual axle being slightly off, or something with the fender, I don't know for sure yet. There has been no "real" alignment at a shop yet.. I was waiting til I replaced the...

Thanks, I guess I'll wait til I finish the uppers before I sorry then.

2000 Cherokee classic 4.0L RWD I just replaced my lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, front shocks, and many of the joints in the tie rod / drag link / pitman arm / etc. I was unable to get the upper control arm bushings replaced this weekend as I needed the car drivable by today, so...

My 2000 XJ has pre-cats built onto the stock exhaust manifold... Is it even legal to put a header on this vehicle?

Just as the title says, my XJ runs funny for a short period of time after being restarted when the engine is hot. I live in AZ. The car does not over heat when its in operation, not even when in stop-and-go rush hour traffic or when stationary and idling. The temperature sits dead center of the...

I have a 2000 Cherokee classic 2WD and I I don't know what size sway bar bushings I need... please help. Thanks!

I am confused... My Cherokee owners manual says that my 4.0L with auto takes Dexron / Mercon II ATF. Then, the very next paragraph says use only ATF 3+ fluid to prevent damage to seals and internals. So which one is it? To further confuse me, I asked a guy who claimed to be a technician at a...
