XJ Ask the Question Thread
Are the 2 hoses going to the heater core both hot? If only one is hot, then I would suspect your heater core is plugged. You can try taking the hot hose and swapping it to the other side and leave the original side open to see if you can force the obstruction out. Another option is to put compressed air in the cold side to clean it out, and the last option would be to run a high quality flush through the system.

Got the bottom off and it's just hanging there because I don't have enough room to hammer the threaded part out. Please help!
Is Grand Cherokee less desirable than the Sport b/c all the "fluff" is just more stuff that can break? Generally, people here prefer a simpler design that is more DIY friendly?
This also makes the Sport cheaper (not a soccer mom car)

problem here! So when I took my pit arm and tie rod off I apparently stripped the threads by hammering them out. So now I can't get the nuts on them. PLEASE help, what do I do?
They are two different cars completely. There are luxury model Cherokees they are called limited. The sport is a middle of the line Cherokee. A Cherokee is a Cherokee they are all the same mechanically aside from the transfer case. A grand Cherokee is a completely different vehicle.
