Welp. Back in December, the '90's head gasket blew. Pretty awesome, I know. I was quoted from two other shops for a rebuild. ~$3,000. Pft! So if anyone could throw me a bone, that'd be awesome! Other than saggy leafs in the rear, the 190,000 miles don't show much on this 'Okee. I really don't...

Went in to AutoZone and they had a whole box of different adapters. So, problem solved.

The RainX I purchased didn't have any. "/ Just the J-hook. However, there are holes that I could see on there that would work, but the J-hook connection blocks it. If there's a way to remove the J-hook connection without breaking it, then maybe it'll work. *shrug* I'll check that part.

It seems like these don't exist... I go to AutoZone and they first give me a refill that's too narrow. I take it back, they don't have anything else. So I buy a whole blade (RainX Weatherbeater) for $3 more. But even that doesn't work, because it uses the J-hook system, whereas these '90 and...

I was going to suggest running Seafoam thru the throttle body, but you already did that. All I had to do was take off the TPS, clean it up a bit, and put it back on good and tight. That helps with some of the idle speed. The main cause for my rough idle speed, however, is that none of my...

I'm getting 18-20 in my dying '90 4.0. A rebuild shop said it has sludge build-up and not a single piston is on time. What I do, tho, is accelerate very slowly, and never use the heavy foot that I use in cars. Using cruise control is your best bet, also. Mine has it but it doesn't work. Don't...

I have a '90 4.0 (RENIX) Jeep Cherokee. I am at AIT for the Army while my wife is back home - seven months pregnant - trying to deal with all this crap. The Jeep is rattling at 55mph and pulling to one side (alignment, obviously). Also, it began leaking fuel in the engine (injectors?), and she...

Got a YouTube video I uploaded. This is my '90 XJ's fuel gauge going bonkers. Took it to the nearest Chevron and filled up, hoping it would stop. But it only took 8 gallons and still reads empty/bonkers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u3r1rrHaX8&feature=youtube_gdata

Tested again at 3pm, 80 degrees outside. It read 61 degrees F this time. Both tests are with windows down, A/C on max, vents full blowing. So what do you think guys? For a 21 year old vehicle, you think a recharge would help?

Mkay so I tested it today. The outside temp is only 76, so I don't know if that effects the a/c, though I'm sure it operates better at lower temps. I grabbed a thermometer usually used for roasts and other meats, put it in the vent about a half inch. It read 46 degrees F.

Awesome door mods. :) However, as I have ALREADY MENTIONED, this is for my wife. I am leaving to Basic Combat Training for the Army in August, and my wife is pregnant. She is already a high-risk pregnancy with her medical condition. So, really, you can take your cool Jeep and shove it. :P

I'll just have to add this to the list of things I need to pay someone to do. >.<

That doesn't work for a pregnant wife. Thanks...

Nice. At least you got yours in good shape! Not me!

Oooh. Didn't read it real well. Thanks!

Where can I get R-12. I know it's not supposed to be sold to non-licensed shops. Smallest one I found was here: http://www.amazon.com/Freeze-12-Refrigerant-Replacement-12oz-Cans/dp/B002EQKP2Q That's what I'd want if it's actually available. Um... Where is the a/c? Haha. Haynes, obviously...

I'll try the R-12. Hopefully my manual shows how to do it haha.

Mine is a '90 4.0 also.

Hmm. Concerning. The other day, mine went up to around 260°. When I got home, I was a tard and forgot to let the engine cool down, so when I twisted the reservoir cap a little, coolant ran into the reservoir bottle and was boiling. However, I have a cracked radiator and a tranny coolant line...

Mine is... Not so cool. Was only up to 86 here today (very low to no humidity), and the windows don't cut it for the most part. So I turned it on max and set the fan speed to max. It didn't blow that cold. Kept me in a decent temp, but I decided the windows down were better as long as I didn't...
