Thanks for the insight. I searched through many pages of squeal problems and came up with some good things to look for. I guess the tension gauge everybody had recommended really does help.

Tightened the belt a little more and it got alot better. Dont have a gauge yet but will definately get one. I also put the gauges on the a/c and it was a little low so I added some 134a and the a/c is working properly now. The noise is almost gone now but comes in when you rev it up sometimes...

Ok I went and rechecked my hearing test with the tube and still nothing conclusive. I did manage to get the compressor clutch to engage for a minute and the air came back to life for a short time. It is way worse with the a/c on. Harmonic balancer still looks good. I reinspected all the pulleys...

I've got a bad squel coming from the front of my 4.0 (97). It sounds almost like metal rubbing metal and gets worse with higher engine rpm. Sound is not present with belt removed. The belt is a new gator unit that I put on with a new water pump. All pulleys turn free by hand with no binding or...

I had 35's and 3.55s for a few months on my daily driver tj and 35 14.50s with 3.55's in my cj. It wasn't terrible but definately not a great combo. I agree if your gonna get 33s anyway go ahead and get the 35s.

I'm gonna have to make time to watch it now. Its great to the cherokee getting a little tv love.

If they did everything the right way we wouldn't have anything to do.

Will do. Hopefully I'll gain enough xj knowledge to be usefull around here one day. I've owned 10 or so jeeps in my life but this is only my second xj.

Sorry its a short shaft sye. I had a xj for a short time a while back and sold it. I got the new a few months ago then my account got banned for inactivity so I figured I better start posting something so I could keep it active. I just never have any questions that aren't already answered here...

I've had husky liners in alot of vehicles and loved them. I did get the carpet floor mat stuck on top of the gas pedal once and had to turn the vehicle off and pull over to get it back right.

Thought I better post up something befor I get banned again. I've been looking on here for but every question i've had so far was easily answered with the search option. 97 XJ 4.0 w/auto 3.5'' RE lift w/2'' front spacer & 1'' rear shackle+block 33" BFG M/t's on 15x8in. black rockcrawlers 4.56's...

I"m in this same boat. Looking at a 2000 with 91k got him at 4500 going to drive it tomorrow. From what i've been able to find the head thing is only for castind 0331, think thats right, and mostly due to being run hot. I think in the 5's is a good price. Most i've been able to find are there...
