R C B R C........... Means what?

Hey Cruiser, This morning it did the click click thing, then the radio illumination went black. Blower worked, but weak. I tried to go back to KISS. I had checked the negative side battery gtounds yesterday and today looked at the positive. One cable connection I could wiggle some. Took them...

Hi all. It's been awhile since I posted, but my Jeep has been doing great until this issue. 87 4.0, AW 4. The last week or so when I go start it I get a click, click and nothing. Try this a few times and same thing, then try it again it starts normally. Battery good, cables heavy duty and...

Agree on thermostatically controlled. I added a water cooled sandwich filter adapter to mine, mainly to heat up the oil for short trip driving. From where are you getting your oil temp readings? Thank you!

But the main thing is he kept the jeep. How many XJ's with far less mileage bit the dust back in "cash for clunkers" day? Still laughing about Subaru's and lesbians. I always learn something on Naxja:)

Stock will work, but when you get some extra cash, upgrade with a set from Naxja member 5-90(Jon): www.kelleyswip.com. outstanding quality.

I paid $125 for a 125 amp rebuild, about $1 per amp, so your guy is in line.

I would go with a local rebuilder if you have one. The one I used has been around 50 years.

On my 87, the owner's manual calls for 10-40 or 20-50 above 32*, that's why I run a 5-40 or 15-40. 220* oil temp does not require an oil cooler.

What oil were you using prior to 5-30? The numbers are fine. Did you drop from a heavier weight oil. My 87 runs 20 idle, 50-55 cruise with Mobil 1 5-40. 133k miles.

I did this mod about 3 years ago . Yesterday I had the passenger kick panel off, and inadvertently loosened up a ground on one of the relays. Took the Jeep out, and had no door locks. About drove me crazy before I fixed it. This is one mod you just don't appreciate until it goes out. Agree with...

Thanks Cruiser. Great instructions. You ever do this, and if so how did it go?

A couple of times when I get in the Jeep(87 XJ) I grab the steering wheel, and it drops, or pulls down a "notch". It also has about a 1/4 inch of vertical play. Is there an easy way to fix this? Based on a fast internet search, it looks like it takes 3 sets of tools I don't have:). This is...

Good to know. Thanks for the update.

I'll venture to say impossible to pin down how long a part will last: what type of service did the jeep have? Mine is 28 years old with 132k. Someone might have 400k in that time. Location of service? Alaska? Saudi Arabia. Which supplier built the part over the years and where was it built? If...
