OK so here is the deal. I just bought a 2001 xj from a municipal auction. I don't know why but when they were removing there flashing lights and radios they decided to CUT OFF THE OBD2 PORT. so I went to go plug in a scanner and there isn't even a plug to plug it in to. So my questions are...

yea thats exactly what i was thinking when it happened. i couldnt believe i had no problems. well i am BETTING on the durability of the 4.0 because i am gonna put it back together and hope for the best. i am going back to new york in 4 months from puerto rico so it only has to last until then...

oh and the truck starts and runs fine. we did try to tug on the wires on the back of the cluster and it didnt help.

ok so i need some help. i am helping a friend work on his new truck, a 98 xj limited, auto 4.0l. it has some strange problems that i searched and couldnt find an answer. not sure if they are related, they seem to be mostly electrical. 1. the odometer, speedo, volts, temp, oil and gas gauges...

well i took off the front shaft just to make sure. problem is still there. is it possible to have a bearing going bad somewhere in the driveline? caused by the extra strain of a trailer? the u joints are fine. i have had the lift 2 years. had a little vibe when first installed, the t-case drop...

yea im gonna have to do that. it just doesnt seem right though. because it wasnt having any problem and then all of a sudden it was a severe vibration.
