Default help.

hey everyone! So i had a little knock on the low end so i dropped the pan and checked the rod bearings #1 rod bearing was pretty bad so i replaces all of them but the rest were OK. When i started the jeep it was good for about 2 minutes then the knock came back and the knock isn't loud just i know something isn't right and want to fix it. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks

my powersteering will sometimes leak real bad and gets all over the driver's side of the engine bay. But it's not all the time, and I can't seem to make it leak. I notice it somtimes when I park after riding for awhile cause a crap load of steam comes pouring out of my hood. I can't really tell exactly where it's leaking at cause it's wet all over the place. anybody run across this?

Bang on the key, pushing it into the ignition switch. Then try turning it. may take a few trys. That will work to get you going.
Don't know how long you can do that without it finally giving up completely.
Dorman makes a replacement ignition switch that has extra tumblers to rebuild your cylinder with.
That way you won't have to go buy new transponder keys and get them programmed. EXPENSIVE!!
You can use your old keys and fob.

XJ Ask the Question Thread-forumrunner_20121017_190232.jpg

Im looking for either one but they have to be exactly like pictured.

XJ Ask the Question Thread-forumrunner_20121017_190240.jpg

Im going to do a hood shock conversion and would like to do it as cheap as possible within reason.

For just the studs i found 4 for $9 plus shipping.

Just the bracket with ball is $3 per bracket plus shipping.


My original plan is to find the studs, get some angle iron and fabricate my own brackets and just buy brand new hatch shocks for the hood. Iv heard i could do just 1 shock but would prefer 2.

It's not the key, it's actually in the ignition itself
