Just wondering what your thoughts are on what could be wrong with this 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4.0: https://www.instagram.com/p/BVP9pzCHj9J/ Top or bottom end, you think? -david

My 1995 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 AW4 is overcharging its battery at about 15.6V while running (verified by a voltmeter). The result: the turn signal fuse has blown, the brake lights don't work, and rear running lights also don't work. I disconnected the rear lights (from the rear panel behind the...

I keep blowing the 20A underhood fuse on my '95 XJ 4.0 AW4. My battery voltage is through the roof, too. I did bypass my Neutral safety switch (but I'm not sure if this started before or after that). Any idea why I keep blowing the brake light/turn signal fuse? -DT

Hmm. I have extended control arms... So perhaps this really is a shock issue? -DT

I bought the RE 3.5" lift kit w/full leaf packs for my '92 XJ 4.0 AW4. The ride quality is abysmal. Granted, I have JK 4dr Rubicon shocks, but I'm wondering: those of you who have this same setup... how is the ride? Also, how's the flex? -DT

First off, I wanted to thank NAXJA for helping me with my $600 Moab XJ build. I honestly could not have built it on such a budget and in so little time, were it not for the resources here. That said, I thought y'all might like to see how how my $600 Jeep (I put in an additional five or six...

I should mention: the engine is misfiring severely and the oil level is over an inch higher than max on the dipstick. Oil doesn't look too milky except on the very top of the valve cover, which is coffee-ish.

There are no coolant puddles under the car.

Folks, I've been losing coolant, and the plug #1 looks far too clean and smells like antifreeze. So I removed the head, and the gasket looked fine, but the valves for cylinder 1 looked squeaky clean. Am I right to expect a cracked head? Do blocks crack frequently on 4.0-liters? -DT

True. Can I press it in while it's on the car?

Guys, my power steering pulley is too far forward on the shaft and there's some silver shaft exposed... Can I press it back on while it's on the car? How could this have happened?

Are 31x10.50a close enough to 265 75r15s to run one on each axle? There's a cheap 265 here that I want to use as a spare.

Yes ejs. Balancer rubber does seem to be peeling....

155,000 miles on her.

Hello awesome people of NAXJA, I'm going on a huge road trip on Friday, but I've got this rhythmic chirping going on with my XJ 4.0-liter (it's a '95 auto). It's intermittent, but when it does do it, it chirps rhythmically, and more frequently as RPMs go up. I was worried it might be the...
