    Chry 8.25 factory gear ratios

    If it's a manual (ax-5 or 15) then it's probably 3.07, automatic then 3.55 unless it's a factory HD towing package - can't remember that one, 4 cyl manual was 4.10. The 1997 factory service manual doesn't list 3.07 for the 8.25 but mine has the tag with 3.07 printed clearly.

    Engine Checkup

    Has anyone tried this product - http://www.enginecheckup.com/index.html I realize that it's designed for marine engines which don't get all their oil changed at recommended intervals but I was curious if anyone has tried regardless.

    Inside Special Forces

    Your signature would be funny if you weren't stupid. It should read "you're", as in the contraction for "you are" not "your". Remedial English anyone?

    Churning sound from gas tank

    I have the same noise with the same vehicle. 97 XJ, 4.0L, 5spd, 4x4. It's done since I got the jeep about a year ago. Never had a problem with anything. Still getting 18-22 mpg.

    Cost of Shipping....

    I know that if it's coming via UPS, they have oversize charges and fender flares are rather large. I also know that shipping to and from Canada is definitely higher because of customs and the paperwork needed. I used to run a shipping department and UPS gave discounts on weight not size so small...

    Nice trophies!

    Y'know, I'd probably keep (those trophies) a secret - especially at a "real" Jeep show. http://www.offroaders.com/album/shows/Jeff-Daniels/9-30-2006/images/Img_1968.jpg http://www.offroaders.com/album/shows/Jeff-Daniels/9-30-2006/images/Img_1967.jpg I thought some here would think these were...

    Failure to Start-Battery? Electrical Drain?

    What is your stereo setup? Do you have a CAP? Make sure your headunit is powering off your amp/s if you are using the remote turn on wire - you should be (usually a blue wire) Check the voltage output on your alternator also using a DMM.

    Replacment Head Lights

    http://www.jeepersandcreepers.com/client/Products.php?prokey=436 I bought this kit and don't regret it one bit. Yeah they are pricey but now I have the option to try different bulbs and upgrade the harness later if I need to. The housings are pretty thick glass with a nice pattern. I'm not a...

    what XJ to choose

    Not sure I'd call that an advantage. If you have problems with it it's the difference between $400 for a new ignition system or trouble shooting it down to the suspect component like a distributor or wires. You can buy a whole "tune up" kit with a new cap, rotor, wires and plugs for $150. As...

    Goodyear Wrangler RT/S Tire

    I have 1 (one) brand new, off rim, Goodyear Wrangler RT/S P225/75R15 for sale. This came off the spare wheel in my 97 XJ. I believe it's the stock tire size for the Sport models. This tire still has the nubbies on the treads and has never seen the elements - still has the blue stuff over the...
