well, the xj got submerged this spring. I still haven't got it running good. after it sits for a day it starts right up and runs fine. less than five min starts running ruff (like after it warms up). then it over heats. acts like its starved for fuel. this is what i've done so far...

I was at the Jeep dealer 1 day and they had a grand cherokee with 40k with the factory filter on it. It spun all the berings.

no. it was a last min trip, because I had a fever of 102.3 that morning. Forgot the camera, think I was delerious. Jumping in that isecold water was a heck of away to break a fever tho.

eagle, it didn't hydro lock. I think it just took a drink and died. when it was rescued it started right up. There was no water in the oil nor any oil in the plugs. Moto, not much to the story. I picked the wrong trail and sunk. To say it was over the seats is not a tall tale. there was...

After changeing all fluids today was the test drive. It starts up fine, but after a few min it starts to sputter. I dried out the distributor and it started fine then sputtered. Almost acts like its a fuel problem, but I set on electrical. If anyone has any ideas I would like to hear them...

guess I lucked out, when my 89 was submerged for a couple hours last weekend. The engine died under water and I thought I was in big trouble. I've had this hapen befor with a bad outcome. This time all that was lost was the carpet and electric fan. The only thing that had water in it was the...

the jeep in ? is an 89. I sold the 98 to buy a tow rig.

I took a wrong turn(thanks to my dad) and sunk the XJ big time. Thankfuly its only rained like 4" last weak. The water was over the seats, and took almost 2 hours to extract it. When I steped out into the hole I was chest deep the coldest water I've had the misfortune to step in. When we were...

there is a guy abought 20 miles from me with a 500 Hp 400 small block. I don't think its lowered but it has to be the best MJ I've ever seen.

I went swimming at the badlands sunday in the XJ. I have the BA-10 and NP-231, what I need to know is how much lube to buy and the proper weight. When wheeling never listen to your father when he tells you to go for that trail. The water was over the seats. Is there any thing else I should...

I ran a three inch superlift AAL and full coil for 60,000 miles, with only a 3/4" t-case drop. I had no vibes even at 80mph on the interstate. All rigs are different, don't let anyone scare you. Just try it. If you have vibes then it justifies buying more stuff for your xj. Good luck and happy...

That little cap on the bottle is a big overlook. I had no problems befor, then I started the jeep went three miles shut it off and old faithful blew. Took me three days too find it. There are two little valves in the cap. One was stuck and the one's spring was shot. I tore it apart and streached...

Went to the one in the Ozarks last year. The trail I was on had 2 broken u-joints, 1 exploded diff, 2 flats, and 1 fire. The harder trail had a rollover. Carnage a side, the camp its self was a blast. There is plenty to do, or watch there. This was my first but it wont be the last.

hows this
