For future reference, the part is: Mopar 83503704 To replace it, I need to remove the tailshaft housing, remove a ring/c-clip and whats left of the old gear should slide off.

Sorry, for the late reply. Thank you for the answers, although I'm still at a loss of how to replace the actual "internal" drive gear once I remove the 2WD tailshaft. I've found the drive gear online at a couple places. I'm looking for a 2WD AW4 drawing/schematic that actually has the...

Hi All, It's been a while since I lurked through NAXJA. I finally got back into a project XJ. Its a '98 Classic 2WD. Its got some issues that I'm working on. One issue is with the non-working speedometer and odometer. I tested the cluster, checked the VSS, and speedo gear attached to the...

Hi all, I did some searching and found the issue with the vapor lock hard starting issue, but mine seems at bit different. My issue just started several days ago. On a cold morning I can start my 98 (4.0-auto-160k) and it starts fine. I can drive around 30 minutes and shut it off. Then it...

Thanks for the replies!

Hello everyone, I just installed a 2" BB on my '96 2dr daily driver. I've got low mileage replacement shocks on it currenty, and I was wondering if I'll really need to upgrade my shocks? It rides fine, and its mainly a pavement pounder with the exception of going graded backwoods trails to go...

Floating the valves............or perhaps bounching the engine off the rev limiter.

I'll run by the parts store tomorrow and have another gander at what they have.........I can always return what I don't need.

Well mine don't look like the ones in the pic..........but what size line do I have? I guess I'll have to measure and make another trip to the parts store. But from the first two replies I'm seeing two different tools....do both work the same?

What does the fuel line disconnect tool look like? I went to the parts store and they've got a few different ones, but they've got 2 assorted packs of plastic ones. One pack has relatively flat round ones with a small lip. The other pack has larger round ones with a spring built inton them...

Mine was a pain too. I had to pull, yell, and then it finally came free....but it wasn't easy. Good luck!

When I got my '96 Cherokee 4.0 auto, it had a rattling cat on it, so I replaced it with a Magnaflow unit, and also replaced the stock muffler with a cheap Thrush 'cherry bomb' glasspack. Well, its loud of course, but I've been driving around with it for at least a couple years. I was driving...

My '96 2 door 4x4 has the factory suspension to the best of my knowledge. Its currently racking up on the 186K mile mark. I think I need to replace the shocks for sure, and the rear leafs (they're flat...sagging rear end). The front coils I'm not sure of their condition. The thing rides...

Well, I was digging around, and found the owners manual. I tried the shifting method stated in the manual.....still no luck. I don't know what TC it has, but I'll find out. I'll search for the stuff you suggested riverfever. I'm gonna lick this problem soon! Thanks everyone!

I'm sure the 4H works; a few weeks back I used it to limp out of a small mud puddle after the rear wheels did nothing but spin. Hmmm, I'm still scratching my head.....
