Ok, I have a junkyard axle to put in the front and in the future I will be getting a winch and logan bumper. As of rt now I want to raise the front end with coil spacers when I put in the axle and have it all apart. I also want to get a drop pitman arm to help the geometry of the stock steering that I will be runing with junkyard axle. The RE pitman arm that I am looking at is 1" longer than stock. If I get two inch coil spacers would I need to get a 3" drop pitman arm? I would also like to limit articulation of the left front (droop?) To keep the front driveshaft from hiting the down pipe of the header. I have a 97' sport with a 4.5" RE superflex with 32' tires. Any ideas or thoughts would help thanks.

Hi everyone.
I'm new here. I've a standard Cherokee XJ 2.5L 1994 model. Basically I decide to
buy a Flowmaster 40 series.
However there are option for me to choose in terms of inlet/outlet measurement diameter.
My question, what is the correct measurement inlet/outlet diameter for me to choose?.
I've looked in the internet but did not found the answer. Hope you guys could help me on this.
Many thanks,
Matt

Here are the codes...eep changed all the O2 sensors, 160k on the jeep anyway and I don't know when they were last changed.
Oh yeah the codes:
Here are the codes:
P0135-oxy sensor heater - bank 1 - Sensor 1
P0141 - oxy sensor heater - Circuit bank 1 - sensor 2
P0155 - oxy sensor heater - Circuit bank 2- sensor 1
P0161 - oxy sensor heater - Circuit bank 2 - Sensor 2
P0158 - oxy sensor - Circuit high voltage - bank 2 - sensor 2
Like I said I changed all four O2 sensors.

I have a 2000 cherokee and just realized that the PO sold me a jeep with only 2 bolts holding the steering box on. The third one is broke in the mounting hole of the box. Do I take the box off to get the bolt out or will that give me more problems? I plan on instaling a new spacer for the steering box while I'm at it.

Thanks, I pulled the oil pan to clean out the sludge and in the process changed the flange gasket at the exhaust manifold. Now there's only the ticking at idle but it goes away when the pressure builds up.

Got a quick question. I found someone selling an ARB air locker. Does anyone know if you have to have a specific locker for your gear ratio, or will one locker work with the factory carrier, and a different one for the bigger carrier? I have the factory 3:55 and want to go to 4:10's eventually. I don't want to buy this locker now and then have to buy another one later. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hard Starting
My 98 XJ NEVER starts on the first try unless I just had it running. Doesnt matter how long I hold down the starter, but as soon as I cut it off and try again it usually fires right up. Sometimes it take a bit longer than others to start. Is this normal with the 4.0 I6?
Also, when I put my XJ in drive the drivetrain "clunks" everytime, is this my universal joint or could it be something else? I know its not the motor mount.

Check the connection to the CPS also if it becomes corroded or bad connection it could cause a no spark condition.
Most likely a U joint.

Welcome welcome!
Most simple way to determine the size pipe you have is to measure it. Use a caliper or tape measure. I don't know much about the diesels but most XJ exhaust pipes are 2.25" diameter.
