looool

Yes, I was originally referring to "a police officer", and just like bhennessee1 said I wasn't aware that it would increase the alternator output. I'm used to AC generators where the RPM of the engine is governed as it maps to the output frequency, and greater load is accommodated by just dumping more fuel & air in. But way to respond to a 7 1/2" month old post. I've actually got the parts now to set up the high idle switch myself and plan on doing it soon. I am sorry that your sense of sarcasm is apparently as bad as my reading comprehension. Don't you think "FOAD" is a little extreme...? Chill out man.

 

Asked this before but im seeking more opinions. A week after I replaced the clutch in my 98 xj it started making a noise. I dont think its clutch related, and it didnt start until a week or so after the replacement. It makes what sounds like a constant exhaust tick and I only hear it at idle once its warm. When I first turn it on I let it warm up, then its not til I drive for a few minutes and then stop at a light and it gets back down to idle. If I rev it up a little bit you hear it increase in speed then after 1000rpm or so it goes away. Also, it doesnt always make the noise, just most of the time at warm idle, comes and goes. I replaced the metal exhaust donut and it didnt solve the issue. I can also only hear the noise when Im sitting in the Jeep, it sounds like its coming from the firewall area so Im wondering if the exhaust manifold is cracked. When I crawl under I cannot hear it but it may be because the exhaust note is louder however from the interior its easily noticable. I replaced the intake/exhaust manifold gasket a few months back however the new gasket seemed like a paper material rather than the original metal gasket. I also noticed the other day that around some of the intake ports the gasket was wet. Could the gasket have gotten wet and blown out and I need a new, metal gasket? I gave the muffler and cat a wack and no noise, however It seems like its coming from the firewall area. This is driving me NUTS

 

See if you can a piece of hose to use as a stethescope to listen around the engine bay. Exhaust manifold cracks generally form at the collector, so you should be able to narrow down the ticking to there.

On the other hand, you Americans can get pretty nice prices on exhaust manifolds (I think I saw a link to $160 for one that sold for like $300 up here! Dorman unit with bellows on cyls 1 and 6). If it isn't cracked right now it probably will be soon, could just replace it and get the proper gasket. This is what I put on (shop cost about $320, but someone on here linked similar for half that)


The ticking could be lots of other things too. Best is to listen around with a hose.

 

Hey guys, didnt want to make a new thread bc im sure this has been covered but..i just bought another jeep 2000 XJ sport with 161k. Im doing a complete tune up tomorrow and im going to change the diff fluid.

What fluid should i use? I havent had to do this on any 4 of my jeeps all this time. lol. Im doing to chrysler tomorrow morning to get oil filter adapter o-rings and i was just gonna ask there. But i figured i would ask here first.

 

Thanks Salad, I looked at the collector and crawled under and listened near it but I couldnt hear anything. Il get a piece of hose and try again. If it is the manifold I can get a header for $200 but it doesnt have the flex sections. Just going to save up and get the header and a new gasket and see if that does it.

Everything you need to know about replacing an injector.

 

I have a fuel leak at fuel rail with supply line. What would this part be called at auto store? Need hardware too. And jeep only gets fuel if key is still in cranking position?

 

I'll probably go this route, I had read of other people doing this on another forum but nobody had any feedback towards it So I was a bit skeptical. I didn't think they would be long enough!

 

it seems the jeep is the same but in fact my jeep is diesel and 2000 year and looking to that there and mine they are completly diferent....the problem i have is that the first injector ( someone call injector comand) have a wire that we cant disconect from there and so a usually tool difficult will woark there becase that wire , and a friend of mine told me its necessary a especial tool just to take off the injector....he might be right or might be wrong , i dont know...thankx for the attencion...im portuguese , sorry language

 

Yes that will be different.. There's probably not gonna be many on here to know much of anything about the diesel cherokees, they are pretty rare here in the states. May want to call up a diesel mechanic and ask, or maybe go do a diesel forums and post up some pictures. What engine is in it?

 

Why not just use ratchet straps on the gas tank. My cousin did it this way. Straps have been holding that track for two yrs now with problems

 

I would use a ratchet starp if it,broke on the trail ...but for the long haul and the safety of the,person driving behind you please use steal lol
