    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    It would also makes sense about the large ledge, as the place that I just moved into is at the top of a very large, steep hill and this is when it does it the most.

    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    I'll check them out tomorrow. I can see when the stock MM are worn out because the bushings were torn in several places. These brown dog offroad mounts are only about 2 years old. Maybe my transmission mount is out because it wasn't replaced when the motor mounts were swapped.

    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    Wear marks on the harmonic balancer as if it's sliding forward into the mechanical fan. Does the balancer need replaced? Maybe a seal gave out and that may have caused the serpentine belt to fray.

    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    It looks like there's wear marks on the harmonic balancer, I was not sure what it was called. When my serpentine belt broke, it was a strip taken off the entire length of the belt, leaving it intact but too thin to cover the pulleys. Once that piece came off, it wrapped around the fan. I get...

    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    Did not loosen the radiator, only tensioner bolt and pulley bolt. Motor mounts appear fine, aren't they supposed to be bullet proof?

    Mechanical Fan Contacting

    Hey guys, I replaced my serpentine belt last week because the old one was starting to crack and stretch. Soon after this, I'm getting a harsh metal on metal sound coming from the front of the Jeep. It's primarily when I turn right and will continue to do so for a bit after the initial contact...

    97 xj won't start up after sitting 2 years

    We disconnected the line to see if fuel would come out earlier when we sprayed starter fluid in it and she was dry as a bone. Do you think there's a blockage that would/could be cleared with the low air pressure? I'll siphon the tank tomorrow and disconnect the line to clear them and hopefully...

    tbburg sounds right on this one.We sprayed starter fluid in it, it fired and died right away.Instead of spraying ether into the engine for 2+ minutes to get new fuel going through the rail, whats a better option? Is there anyway to create a siphon and pull the bad gas through the line into a...

    97 xj won't start up after sitting 2 years

    I have a 97 cherokee with a 4.0L/aw4 w/ 108k miles, it's been sitting for about 2 years. From what I remember about it when it was running, I put some hood vents on without drip pans or covers and started frying the sensors on the throttle body. That and a few other problems, I found it much...

    Throttle Position Sensor?

    Ok, so about 2 weekends ago my water pump went out, so I replaced it over the weekend. The next day, we had huge rains for about three days and while I was at work, I had forgotton to cover my hood vents. The next day I get in the jeep and my idle is acting odd, a bit sporadic, my transmission...
