I was wondering what everyone does with the three exhaust bolts that connect the twin minicat piece to the rest of the exhaust. I haven't touched them yet but the bolts are SO thin and rusted there is absolutely no way I can imagine them coming off without taking a cutoff wheel or something...

darn in-laws lol

Watcha doin with your old leafs? My XJ is saggin a bit in the back... wonder if 99 rear springs would work on a 2001, I'd guess so.

to be fair you have to torque in the weird "I can barely get my wrench" on it position too. Then try to approximate with same wrench and position on a bolt you can reach with the torque wrench. Finally measure on reachable bolt with torque wrench and see if you are in ballpark. I know I would...

Hmmm, I remember seeing somewhere that somebody had a similar problem and disconnecting the lighter and accessory power solved it. sounds weird, must've had a short but..

Interesting... I guess I find which wants to cooperate the most the exhaust to manifold coupler bolts or the manifold to head bolts :) I thought (from things I've read on forums) that manifold torque was pretty important to have a good even non-intake-air-sucking, exhaust-manifold-cracking...

Are you finding yourself needing to add coolant as well?

So I'm getting going on this and was wondering... Concerning the A/C Compressor. I have removed the two bolts going into the cylinder head. Do I need to do more? Concerning the lower bolts to the manifold. OK, assuming I do get them all broken loose, how in the heck do you get a torque wrench...

I guess I would try to see the wires coming from the door switch itself. Likely hood is that when the door is opened the switch completes the ground or negative circuit. Now looking at my dome light, I would assume if one of those colors matched either of the two at the door switch that would be...

i don't have a wiring diagram but out of curiosity, what colors are we dealing with?

Holy snot Batman, that backup light lol! I'm impressed nice job! You don't happen to be this guy? lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s4x-GflKio

Well, if they were truly ran in series, neither would work if one lamp failed, and you have one working so... I guess my first step would be to take a meter and measure for voltage across the lamp contacts. If you don't have a meter, can you at least switch lamps and make certain the problem...

The 2001 XJ is a brand new vehicle to me, ran fine while test driving. Oil was very dark and appeared to need changed badly but I saw no sign of milkshake. Coolant looked a bit old too out nothing out of normal really. I heard some engine ticking but pretty much have heard that from nearly every...

Yeah, ihscoutlover, I'm there with you, time for a head swap.
