1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport for sale, stock all around. Black with grey interior - interior is in great shape. Has a strong heart with the inline 6 cylinder 4.0L engine and auto transmission. Has some rust spots near the front windshield, front door pillars, the floor boards, and a patch on the...

Thanks for the direction. As soon as it warms up a bit, I’ll crawl under there and check a few of these things. BTW, motor mounts and transmission mounts are all original

No lift - all stock

To clarify, vibration shows up at speeds of 55+ mph

My 96 Cherokee XJ (240k miles and still running strong) has a vibration problem at highway speeds with several different front prop shafts installed. I have had two of them rebuilt and balanced, but the vibration is still there. No vibration with the front prop shaft out. What should I check and...

This thread is helpful in showing the differences in the two styles, but does not discuss the height difference and related fit up issues. I can't find the original style evaporator anywhere. Thoughts? http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1102158&highlight=evaporator

I am replacing my ac evaporator due to a leak. I bought the replacement from four seasons (p/n 54812) and got the old one out with the help of the forum. However, the new evaporator is slightly taller by 3/8" and doesn't fit in the plastic evap box (the lid won't sit flush). Has anyone run into...

1996 XJ 4.0 with 170k on it has a repeating clicking/knocking sound coming from the item in the red circle near the window washer reservoir and the firewall just above the A/C expansion valve. Jeep is running fine but hear the click when stopped at idle. You are the winner if you can tell me...

Thanks Wayne. How do I carefully insert/remove probe. Are the two thin white wires not attached inside and just pull out/thread in?

I am working on removing the heater core on my 96 cherokee 4.0L with A/C. During removal of the blower housing, I knocked a black rectangular component off the front of the blower housing. The component attaches to a copper tube that is embedded into the housing. There are two thin white wires...

One question: When you guys say check voltage at the starter with the ingition in the "on" position, that means ignition "on" but not in the "start" position, correct? The position where the car is running after starting, correct. Lastly, do I just check the voltage across the big and small...

Well, I originally thought I had my problem licked. Would not turn over and the battery acted worn so I took it to Autozone and verified that it was done. Bought a new battery, cleaned the terminals, installed it, and nothing. Figured it might be the starter/battery combo. Took the starter out...

I am having a similar problem with the starter. When you guys say put a meter at the starter with the ignition in the "on" position, you mean not trying to start the vehicle, but the key position where the vehicle runs after starting, correct?

Pretty sure it is coolant. It's not oil or tranny fluid either. The spot on the driveway has dried after 4 hours, so I am pretty sure it is coolant. Not many other choices left.

I've got a 96 stock 4.0 with 137K still running strong. However, I have developed a coolant leak that shows up as a drip from the front of the transmission near the oil pan plug. It sounds as if there is coolant leaking inside the front transmission cover until the pressure bleads off. Any...
