Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep (plus Plymouth and Eagle) all had recalls back in the day for seatbelt issues. Seatbelts not locking during hard stops and such. It was found that rustproofing (factory as well as aftermarket installed) was dripping down onto the pendulum in the belt lock assembly, causing it to stick in the "unlock" position. The fix was to replace the seatbelt assembly. I know an answer was already given, but I like to put the reason why...

 

Thanks, what about the transfer case, will it bolt right up or would I have to swap to another t-case, i like the one it has now, its been rebuilt and works perfect, don't want to replace it if it's not broke.

 

I just bought an American 1999 Cherokee from Florida and it's still in "Imperial"
I want to swap out a guage cluster I have thats in Metric (like the rest of the world uses) JK!!!! Don't send the Marines!!
Is it stored in the PCM(ECM)? or in the Guages Cluster?
And will it automatically convert it to Kilometers or is there a switch I have to reset?

 

Hello, i'm new to these forums as i just purchased a 1994 Cherokee sport and it has a few little problems to get it up to par. The "noise" that im running in to has a pretty distinct sound but i cant seem to pinpoint the issue. It sounds almost like fan blades hit something in the front of the engine compartment.
What i have tried so far with no avail has been taking the clutch fans shroud off as it has a crack on the right hand side of the shroud and was zip tied together by somebody but poorly done so i attempted to reinforce and stiffen the shroud slightly to see if it was flexing into the fan. You can see scores in the plastic where its been hit before quite a bit and the shroud had already been modified by being cut out by either the previous owner or their mechanic. I also tried completely removing the shroud as attempt one failed to fix the issue. I know that as a long term this is not an acceptable fix as it will mess with the airflow but it was just a test.
Now the only time this sound really occurs is when im accelerating from a stop and it doesn't even have to be a sudden acceleration even a slow acceleration produces the same result it also occurs a little on braking. If pictures will help out i will gladly post some once its light and i can take pictures, but so far i haven't pin pointed any causes. Any help from somebody that may have encountered this problem would be much appreciated. but as i said it sounds like either the fan hitting something or a vibration. Thanks in advance. I apologize if there is already a thread fro this but my keyword searches were not sucessful as i dont really know what to look for.

 

I just installed a new rear output seal and bushing in my NP231. Everything went pretty smoothly until the very last step, re-installing the rear drive shaft. It seems that the yoke will not fit past the new transfer case bushing I installed. The link below is the bushing I bought and installed, although the actual part looked slightly different than the photo (little golf ball like dimples are on the inside of the one I received). What am I missing ? I didn't think you should have to force the yoke through the bushing so did I buy the wrong part or screw something up? Thank you guys for your time and I really appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Unfortunately for you, the mileage is stored in the cluster. I would just deal with it, and convert when necessary.

 

If the fan is hitting the shroud, i would bet on a bad motor mount. This has happened twice to me (although in my case i actually sheared the mount bolts off at the engine block). Both mounts should be replaced at the same time.

 

Intake mod works great!

 

Need help here if anyone has input... Thanks

That thing is just to connect the lines together, it's the same for all cherokees and doesn't need to have all holes necessarily used. You can eliminate it.

 

You mean the steering box.. have someone turn the steering wheel and you look underneath where it has interference.

 

You have rust in the tank. I suggest you remove the sending unit and have a close look inside the little box where the floater arm works.

Well check axle clearance all around and drive shaft length.
