Just drove around the block and dw is gone. Won't be the first time it has come and gone. Drives me crazy. Only thing I changed was air pressure and rotated tires. I don't have it in me to raise air pressure again to see if that was it or the rotation. On second thought I've spent so much...

I have to have the lp. Just got done rotating the tires and getting all the grease off the inside rims from overgreasing the old tre's. Overgreased the damn tre's and the grease was all over the wheels. There was enough grease that came out of the old tre's that it probably had my wheels out...

stabilizer is in great shape. i'm thinking cupped tires is my deal. they are probably that bad. no one in town has degree shims. how do you check the play on the ball joints. I'm looking for the measurements taken from the alignment. Gotta find my paperwork. Looks like all my bushings are...

Pretty positive now that I researched a little that it is lp. Yuccamans tech kinda threw me off. The whole reason for this is cuz I'm fighting dw. Shook the wheel so bad I thought I was gonna die going 55 with wife and kids. Gonna try and change tires. Mine are cupped bad after installing...

Looking at the pinion on the d30 looks as low as it could get in the pumpkin. Looking at yucca-mans axle tech says all xj 00's have hpd30? Is that a typo? Signed, Lost

I checked out the go-jeep post regarding caster and toe-in and I'm looking for some help. I started by leveling the jeep via magnetic protractor on the transmission brace. Didn't know if that was the correct way but it was the only option I had. Checked caster at the bolt heads on diff and...

Youll never make it through with a dremel tool. Youll use 100 cut off wheels and still never make it. Even a jig saw with a fine metal blade would work over the angle grinder. Wouldnt worry about the paint with the jig or angle grinder. If you use the angle grinder definetly tape it off and...

All right. First of all no baby yet and the wife is still in pain every 5 minutes or so. She says its all part of labor so I'm saying shes a trooper. Secondly, I appreciate everyones help with this in my time of need. Turns out the 100 amp hard start on my battery charger, which is the...

thats what i would think as well. i'm guessing i killed it with the battery charger at 100 amp start somehow when i tried to jump it tonite.

Thanks all. Gonna just get this baby out and then work on the battery later! Wife is still hangin in there and we won't leave for the hospital for another hour of two. Thanks again for all your help!

Hopefully I'm gonna solve my own problem. Disconnected the - cable while running and the lights actually became brighter. Connect the cable back and rpms drop and lights dim. Obviously more power being sucked into battery. I did try to start it with a battery charger switched to 100 amp...

Read another post about disconnecting the - cable while running to check the alternator. Any thoughts on this? Don't have a manual. Would take the wifes car but its snowing buckets.

So my wife is having contractions five minutes apart and I go to get the Jeep packed and warm to get to the hospital. Dead battery. I have a 00' xj that is stock except suspension and radio. Radio has never been a source of trouble and it's been modified for a year minimum. I have a Optima...

I just changed fluid in my 2000 and the dealer recommended atf4. I used the dexronIII/Mercon. Mercon is for mercury's/ford i believe. Anyway, the atf4 is what they put in the transmission and trans case if they come in for service. I would still put in dexronIII. It's what the manual calls...

thanks guys. i plan on checking the trans fluid today cuz i drove a couple miles to get it circulated. i followed advice on here to spray out the pumpkins with brake clean first, so i got all of the fluid out of the pumpkin. waited for it to dry completely. then filled it up. my buddy who...
