I need to know the size of the ports to get appropriate fuel lines fro my ho conversion....

 

I used a universal tool when I separated the quick disconnect, not sure on the size. Maybe someone else will chime in, didnt know there were different sized lines.

 

Okay here goes my first real question as a newb. My 98 XJ, which I believe has the non-pressurized coolant overflow tank, keeps running dry, there is no evidence of a leak anywhere. The exhaust is unusually pungent, no signs of overheating, I only have idiot lights (apropriate for owner) radiator is full. The aux fan runs on and off and on and off in rapid succession. What's up?

 

88 xj 4.0l 4x4

Making a parts list to buy in a few weeks with my tax refund. Looking at autozones website at the rear drum kits, one list the option 10" x 1.75" and the other is 10" x 2.5".

What is standard on the 88?

Also looking to replace the calipers. Is it worth buying the "loaded" calipers. Iv never done new calipers so dont know the difference.

 

What rear axle do you have? Take a pic of it of you don't know. I'm 99.9% sure the bigger one would be for a Dana 44 and the smaller one for a Dana 35.

 

Turdyfive im sure i have.

 

The #1 sign of a cracked head is unexplained coolant loss Check your engine oil immediately. 1998 doesn't have the 0331 head so here's hoping that if the head did crack you're just burning it, or maybe a head gasket.

 

Ok guys, don't grill me here, but what would cause a 2.5L engine (or any engine for that matter) to run fine for a while then suddenly lose power for no apparent reason? I know all the vacuum lines need replacing as I suspect that may be part of the issue, but what else should I look for? It's the TBI 4-banger in my '86 MJ.

 

Anyone ever hear of/use "HOD" bulbs? Like these?

Lots of things... lack of fuel, turning the ignition key off... lol

Can you be a little more specific? What happened? What are the rest of the symptoms? Does it idle rough?

 

Sounds like a scam... WTF is with these blue bulbs anyway

 

Sorry for being vague... about to pass out I'm so tired haha. Well, I started it just a little bit ago for the first time since I drove her home.

On the 14th, drove her from where I bought it to my house, which was about 45 minute drive on the interstate (did 70 mph most of the way). Did fine most of the way home, then started going up a hill and she seemed like she was hesitating and like it wouldn't take the gas... When I started it tonight, seemed mostly fine however the rpms seemed to noticeably vary and the engine shook and shimmied here and there. Throttle response seems fairly good... I haven't done whole lot yet to diagnose it. Just wanted to get opinions and start with the most likely cause.

 

They're just xenon bulbs.. really nothing too special

 

I just bought a 96 Jeep Cherokee in fair shape. It cranks good and runs, but it was filthy. The oil pressure was 40 until I had the oil changed. After changing the oil, I got in to drive the jeep to the store and noticed no oil pressure. I've looked around the forum and Google and I've found it could be the oil pressure sending switch or oil pump.

I'm looking for advice if this is common or if I may have other issues. I am going to replace both the switch and pump, but I was looking for a little feedback first.

Thank you for any help or comments.

P.S. If I posted this in the wrong place, please let me know. First time.

 

I'd replace the switch first. If you had no oil pressure then it would either run terribly or not at all.
