Thanks for ruling out the steering box. Since that was ruled out, I decided to get underneath the thing tonight with wrenches, and sure enough, the frame side track bar bracket bolts weren't quite tight (rear bolt was not tight at all). I tightened the two bolts and nuts down as tight as I...

Hi, I'm trying to diagnose a small clunk while steering that appeared recently on my XJ. It only happens while steering into a turn, and does not happen every time. If at a standstill, I can kind of get it to clunk right at a certain position of the steering wheel. I've been trying to listen...

My brother's 98 Cherokee has an issue with it's transmission (it became stuck in 5th gear while driving, and has been stuck there ever since). Since we presumed the transmission toast, we sourced an AX-15 from a 94 Cherokee. We attempted to remove the transmission, but ran into a problem with...

Upon closer inspection, the splines on the inside of the slip yoke are indeed damaged. So I'll be picking up a different slip yoke. So once I have the driveshaft together, I need to bring it somewhere to get rebalanced? The old one worked fine for a couple of years and then developed a...

A couple of years ago, I swapped a Chrysler 8.25 rear axle into my 1993 XJ daily driver. The Dana 35 had inexplicably blown up so I figured I'd put a little better axle into it. At the time, I got the driveshaft off of the donor 99 XJ along with the axle, and I mated the older slip yoke to the...

I drove the wife's 93 XJ today, and noticed there's definitely something wrong with it. Every time I take a turn, the steering wheel shakes and there's some sort of resistance in the front end. It kind of feels like trying to take a turn on dry pavement with it in 4wd. I'm going to take a...

We currently have four Cherokees, and none of them ever has the gauge go below 35 or so, approximating from the gauge, no matter how long they are idling. If one of them was at 15lbs, I would think something is wrong. However, I'm not sure where you live, maybe altitude/temperature could be...

We have a 93 Country we bought with 135k on it, it now has a bit over 204k. We use 10-40 in summer, 5-30 in winter. Your post kinda stood out to me since we have a jeep that we've put about the same mileage on. According to the gauge, oil pressure never drops below the middle/center line...

To follow up: It was indeed the starter. The way it was acting in the morning must have caused me to misdiagnose it as the NSS (I did have to play with the shifter in park after all). I never knew Napa had a 3 year warranty on their parts, they exchanged the starter for free. I wired the NSS...

Yeah, I've run into pretty much what you described and cleaning the battery did the trick for me.

Alright, I did the black and black/white, exactly like shown in the picture. Apparently that picture is of a harness out of a 92 so I figured it wouldn't be any different. The clicking I hear is what I would expect from a bad starter. So perhaps that is the culprit after all. I guess I'll...

Alright, I'll just take this from the beginning since I'm NOT a mechanic. The wife has a 93 Country, and when she tried to start it this morning it wouldn't start. I jumped in and it wouldn't start, so I pushed the shifter (auto) forward a couple of times and it started right up. I figure...

I'm going to bump this. I tried looking for this "intermittent switch box" under the drivers side dash, like around the fuse box area and such, and didn't see anything. Can anyone be more specific as to what this thing looks like/where it is?

That's most likely the problem. Any way to bypass it so at least I can get low/high wipers?

This is regarding my fiancee's 93 Cherokee. Her truck had an intermittent systemwide power "blip", and I ended up changing the alternator, ECU, cleaning any and every ground I could see, switching out the battery, and kicking the wheel really hard. Anyways, she came out and I quizzed her some...
