Take a bolt out and measure diameter and thread.

 

Looking for suggestions on a good SYE for my 2000 xj.

 

Depends what t-case you have, and just really what brand you prefer.

 

okay so i got problems. ill be cruisin down the road in my 2000 cherokee classic 4.0 and bam rpms shoot to 0 my engine kicks off and steering wheel locks up. took it to get a diagnostic run said it was my fuel system had it cleaned, still shuts off. i figured it was my alternator replaced it, still shuts off. im out of ****in ideas any help

 

my guess would be the Crank Position sensor. your steering wheel shouldn't lock up, you just lose power steering making it a ton harder to steer.

 

I have the np231 tc, I dont have a brand pref, I am installing a 4-4.5" suspension lift(havent made up my mind) everything I have read read says that the sye is the way to go but many of the lift kits available come with a tc drop option, any opinions?

 

Are there any lift kits that should be avoided?

 

I have owned my 2000 XJ for about 6 weeks. I don't know any of the maintenance history on it so I figure I need to replace all the fluids. Has anyone used Royal Purple? Is it really that good or are you just paying $8.50 a quart because big names endorse it? I have a list of Recommended Mopar Fluids, but just want your thoughts.

 

Mostly just the name, I'd stick with valvoline synth. or mobil 1.
I'd suggest a HD SYE, PORC makes a very good one. T-case drops are good for temp. use until you get the sye.
I would avoid AAL lifts, especially with a 4.5" kit. I don't like Rusty's lifts either. JMO though.

 

installed a lift recently and i got my driveline angles right by fabbin up my own t case drop everything is working fine except i cant get the studs out of the body to install longer ones... i tried the two nut jam trick and caused more problems... ended up stripping the stud...
any help is much aprecciated!
thanks

 

Do you have a welder? If you do, you could weld a nut onto the stud since you aren't going to re-use them.

 

lots of PB Blaster and a good pair of vise grips. That's how I got mine out.

 

ill have to try that. im just baffled on why it only does this after it warms up and has been driving around for a while. it shows no problems untill after a few miles of running around.

 

I'm a little concerned, my ZJ has completely stopped leaking tranny fluid and is running better that ever! It used to leak everywhere. What could be the issue? Seriously!?

 

Have you been checking the fluid level? It hasn't dropped any and is still full? More info is needed.
