Yes to Steiger Performance, here's the website: www.steigerperformance.com And yes, for the passenger window we also had to change the gear.

Special ordered via Diplomatic Auto Sales back in 1997. Delivered at Biddulph Chrysler/Jeep in Phoenix, used a month in the USA then shipped to Bolivia. Thereafter: CA, Peru, VA, now back in CA. What I learned (e.g., 5 years in Ecuador with a 1987 Cherokee Pioneer) was absent a center locking...

Just to update: the driver side window regulator failed in 2009. Steiger kit fixed it. Fast forward to now: Jan 2016. The passenger side window motor failed a year ago; ignored by me (who needs the passenger's window to go up and down?) as long as I could but finally decided to fix it. But in...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll call jeepsareus. With this in mind, and seeing their parts diagrams, does someone have a website source for Jeep detailed exploded parts diagrams, ala www.realoem.com for BMW?

Another question I didn't find an answer to after some searching. I want to change the gear oil in my '97 Cherokee's gearbox (5 spd, 4X4, Up Country suspension). Should be easy enuf, yes? But what tool or socket arrangement is best to use? 1) the fill nut is bigger than my largest socket, 2)...

Did a quick forum search; if this was there, I missed it. '97 Cherokee Sport, 5 spd w/Up Country suspension and 5 speed. The rubberized/fabric splash shield under the engine on my Jeep is very tired. Shops have tried more than once to leave it off; I've insisted on keeping it; patched it more...

Got it. Thanks.

I've had only when cold "drive me crazy" water leaks twice with my 97. Minor amounts of coolant each time. The first event turned out to be the stock radiator separating where plastic/metal are bonded. I put in a new, all metal, radiator. That was at about 90,000 miles. Second event - about...

Thanks for all of the tips. Nice to know I'm not the Lone Ranger. Excuse my ignorance, but using air to try to clear the line = blowing from the drain exit into the car? or can one get into the tray assembly above to push air out the drain?

Gang, I searched/read many threads. They were all about actual water (rain, etc.) leaks. Not my problem. My 97 Sport 4dr has cold, cold AC for a few hours but then (e.g., long trip) it blows less cold but worse: water appears in the driver side footwell. Lots of water. Appears to be AC...

I went the Steiger route on a 4dr driver window, and couldn't be happier. For me, the beautifully machined piece into which the cable end is threaded is confidence-inspiring. Furthermore, Jon at Steiger immediately answered my email plea for help, gave me advice, and overnight shipped the...

Attention in the ranks: Mr (Ms?) 96CheroKeeClassik for President. Good advice. It is indeed simply "crud" built up on the plastic trim! Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (just get the double strength ones, and wash them with soap often during use to wash out the crud) work great! Bit sensitive getting...

After reading this thread I verified that my wires seemed OK, then bought a new oil pressure sensor. On the internet I couldn't find one for a 1997 4.0 4WD Sport, and the price was confusing: in the high 20s, or close to $80? One place I called said they didn't stock it. But my local Jeep...

Oh...forgot to mention: I'll try the WD40 route as well. What have I got to lose?

Mothers Back to Black did NOTHING for me, nor did Armor All. Side strips the same as the fender flares (97 XJ Sport 4X4). Well, to be honest...the side strips go black at first, but the fender flares: no. After the first rain; back to grey. I'll try Mr. Clean...otherwise, I guess painting is...
