    1996 XJ Code PO141

    My check engine light came on Friday morning for the first time ever. I guess I should be thankful, as it now has 174K on the odometer. LOL! Anyway, Autozone pulled the code, which was PO141, indicating the downstream O2 sensor. All of my underhood fuses are good, and a quick trace of the wires...

    '96 XJ Won't Idle At All

    Woke up this morning to find that my '96 XJ will not idle at all. My wife woke me up to tell me that it wouldn't start, so I got up to check it out. Up until this morning, it has always started on the first crank. Today, it cranked a few times, then started right up. It revs up just fine, but...

I still have the receipt where I purchased it from Quadratec for $86.98 shipped. For 84-06 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Grand Cherokee ZJ, Wrangler YJ, Wrangler TJ & Unlimited. Part number...

    Worn Brake Caliper Guide Rails

    Upon removing my front brake calipers, I noticed that the driver's side guide rails that the brake pads slide on are worn on the inside of both the top and bottom rails (the area where the inner pad rides.) Can I get some sort of abutment clips to correct this, or is building the worn area up...

    Hella 500FF VS. 700FF

    Is there any difference between the Hella 500FF and Hella 700FF lights other than size, or does the 700FF offer a higher output? Why doesn't the Hella website list candlepower ratings like KC does? I've been looking at various models of Hella and KC lights online the last week or so. I'm...

    Need Opinions On Front End Noise

    I took my '96 XJ to a very reputable differential shop to have 4.56 gears installed. Upon picking it up, I immediately noticed a strange knocking/thumping noise emitting from the front end area as soon as I pulled from their parking lot and took off down the road. The sound was definitely...

    U-Joint C-Clips

    I am at my wit's end. I am attempting to change the axle u-joint on a Dana 30 in my '96, and it's a nightmare. Heck, pulling the hub was child's play, and I had the axle out in well under a half hour. But this u-joint is something else. It is a factory original one with 160,000 miles on it. I...

    Brake Hose Question (Disc Brake Swap)

    I plan to convert my XJ to rear disc brakes. My plan is to use Jeep Liberty hardware instead of Grand Cherokee, since they came from the factory with 8.25" axles. From what I've seen, the ZJ brake hoses have mounting brackets, while the KJ hoses do not. Could I use the ZJ hoses with KJ calipers?

    Looking For Clean, Stock '96+ XJ

    My wife is looking for a 1996 or newer XJ in stock condition. We already have a lifted '96, so one lifted XJ in the family is plenty. :laugh: She really only has a few criteria: 1. Must have an auto transmission. 2. Must have a 4.0L engine. 3. No body damage other than small dings. She...

    Jeep Liberty Rear Disc Backing Plates

    I'm scrounging up parts for a ZJ rear disc brake swap for my XJ. I got a great deal on all the parts to do it, but the backing plates (dust shields) have seen better days and are quite rusty. The local salvage yards don't have any -- probably you guys nabbing every rear disc set-up that hits the...

    Need Rear Brake Backing Plate Measurement

    I have a '96 XJ with an 8.25 axle in it that I am planning to swap ZJ disc brakes onto. Does anyone have an old DRUM brake backing plate lying around that they can measure the center hole in? Instead of fumbling around trying to grind the ZJ backing plate holes larger by hand to fit my axle (I...

    Need Thumping Noise Diagnosed

    I took my '96 XJ to a highly reputable shop to have 4.56 gears installed in both axles. This shop has been in business for probably 30 years, and ALL they do is gears -- nothing else. They were highly recommended when I first heard of them a little over 20 years ago. Anyway, I made the...

    Exhaust Diameter

    I have a '96 with 4.0L. I'm wanting to order a new catalytic convertor and muffler, but am unsure as to the stock exhaust diameter. My XJ is about 50 miles from here getting lower gears installed, so I can't crawl under it and measure. From my searching here, I THINK that it is 2.25" from the...

    Using Factory Fog Light Switch And Wiring

    I'm planning to replace my broken factory fog lights with aftermarket lights. What is the highest wattage I can install and still use my existing factory switch, wiring, relays, etc.? I don't want to melt any wires.

    Upgrading Rubicon Express 3.5" Kit To 4.5"

    I currently have a Rubicon Express 3.5" super-flex lift kit installed on my '96 XJ, and am considering upgrading it to 4.5" specs. From my reasearch it appears that the following parts are the only differences between the two kits: RE1141 -- swaybar disconnects RE1310 -- 4.5" coil springs...

    WTB: 29-spline Chrysler 8.25"

    Does anyone in southern Indiana have a spare 29-spline Chrysler 8.25" axle assembly? I'm looking to upgrade my current 27 spline to 29 spline, and plan to regear to 4.56. All I really need are the pair of axles and carrier with spider gears, but will consider the entire axle assembly if cheap...

    Detroit True Trac Question

    I'm getting ready to regear my D30 and 27-spline 8.25" from 3.55 to 4.56. It is a daily driver with 32's that sees highway use as well as snow/ice. Selectable lockers are a little more than I'd like to invest in a 14-year old vehicle that has yet to encounter serious wheeling and only leaves the...
