If I recall correctly my 95 had a metal tag on the diff that said limited slip. Also on mine is a silver colored sticker stuck to the inside of the glovebox that warns of limited slip when jacking up the wheels. Dunno if they did that in '93.

A little history on this shop. Several years ago I owned a small courier business. One van. Anytime I had a breakdown, they would take it in right away. Never anything major, but I always had a good relationship with them. They also did some minor work on my other vehicles, again, no...

Lewis & Mark91, From your descriptions it sounds as if welding is an option, if done by some one with proper materials and experience. It's doubtful this is the case here. :rolleyes: As I said earlier, I am giving him the chance to correct the problem, but it MUST be to my satisfaction. I...

P.S. My 22 year old Harley is smoother that my XJ!

Thanks for all the input. I'm not going to rest until this is repaired to my satisfaction. I'll give them a chance to make good, but they are far from being off the hook. I get the feeling they know what they did was wrong and that legal recourse is a possibility. Right now it's just wait &...

I don't think so, but it is a standard, so I guess it would torque more. I guess I'm more ticked at what they did without my approval than actually breaking a piece off the block. I have to take their word for that, since where the bolt should be is all welded up and covered with flat iron...

I've had my '95 XJ just over two years and have broken the same motor mount three times already. First time was right after I got it from the used car dealer. His shop fixed it ( broke off bolt heads). Second time , same problem. Told him to use grade 8 bolts. This time, a block away from...

I started off with a lifted '73 Commando, the one with the early Bronco style front end. Sort of the Grandpa of the XJ. No one knew what it was. Damn, I wish I still had it. Then a '79 Blazer, modded it up, but it was way to big and a gas hog! First looked at a new Cherokee in '86, but the...

Sounds good, but I have to do a R&P regear so I can haul a pop-up trailer over the hills.:rolleyes: Jack

Scott, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Jack

I'm a career firefighter/ EMT. :flame: Been a Captain for the last 14 years. Damn I'm getting old!:looney:

Pretty simple: Black '95 XJ and my name.

It's used to neuter bulls!:doh:

I seem to recall a few years back where they tried to change the names of areas that ended in the word "kill", as in Catskill, Fishkill, and others. Those are fairly common names in the New York region. I believe it's a Dutch word for creek or stream. Those people will try anything to stay in...

Ya just gotta love those black 2doors!
