I was going to order the solenoids and I remembered I know knowledgeable guy that works at an Aamco transmission that I haven't talked to in years, so I called him. I saw the $300 price of the solenoids and wanted to make sure before I bought them this was gonna fix my problem. I need to smog...

I am just about to take on this job in the next couple weeks. Anyone have the current part numbers for the solenoids I need for a 1998 Jeep for a resonable price? Thanx in advance for any help, Robert

Thank you for all the advice! I have had the XJ for around 7 years and it has around 251,000 miles on it ATM. I am currently looking into a rebuilt long block with a warranty. So far most of the ones I have seen are around $1600. Anyone know of any good places for rebuilds? I will definately...

Well I am guessing I have a bad rod bearing in my XJ. I just noticed it this morning after I of coarse filled the tank! It is a small tapping at idle and it increases in RPM as the motor does. Could it be something else? I am now wondering how hard it is to do the fix on this. I am guessing I...

I have a 1998 4x4 Sport XJ and I am in the market for a new radiator. I currently have a 3 row I had installed about 4 years ago and it is a pile of crap the has been replaced 2 times since it was installed with a "lifetime warranty". The shop that did it is now out of business (BIG SURPRISE!!)...

I was traveling up a pretty steep lengthy grade in my 98 4x4 XJ Sport on the freeway today at about 70 mph for several minutes running just over 3000 rpm in 3rd up the hill because I have a lift and 31" tires. At the top of the grade the road flattened out a bit and I dropped it into drive. I...

I have been getting a check engine code on my 98 XJ Sport 4x4 off and on for about a year now. I would shut it off every month or so and then it would come back on again. As of late it has been coming on a few days after shutting it off. The code states that I have a malfunctioning trans...

Wow that is a lot of responses from the time I posted this morning! Thanx for all the great information! I am not a regular to the site here but I now know where I'm coming for any further information on my XJ LOL. I am going to rotate my tires and have the balance checked on them first and then...

I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a 4.5 inch Rough Country lift kit on it and 31x10.5 mudder tires. Several months back the stabilizer bar bolt sheered off on the freeway and made for an extremely rough ride until I could bring the Jeep to a stop. I fixed the bolt and then I had no problems...

The XJ is a 1998 4.0 Sport. As far as pedaling problem goes it seems to do it at normal operating temps only. The reason this post was put here is because I have some after market parts on my motor like header and cold air intake. Thanx for the responses so far Robert

For about the last year and a half I have noticed that after I have run my XJ and shut it off for a bit when I get back in and start the truck and drive I sometimes get strange throttle response when first taking off in the truck. The throttle control will start to fall off and if I push the...

I guess the real question is will this be a continuing problem with the 4.5" lift using the stock part? The ride on my truck is pretty stiff and I am guessing that is what split the part in the first place. I would love to do the long arm route but I don't have the cash for that. I will need a...

Caster adjustment shoe broke! Ok got a better look at what is going on with my frame mount this morning, it was dark last night and I could barely see. It appears that the outer side of the caster adjustment shoe on the drivers side has broken. Does the dealer still sell this part or am I going...

This is my first post here :cheers: Anyway, I have a 1998 XJ Sport 4 door 4x4 with a 4.5" Rough Country lift kit with 31" tires. About a week ago I noticed a slight knock noise when I would turn a corner. It was just a small noise so I thought nothing of it. Well curiosity got the best of me...
