One last question... does anyone run the clear lens autopals? I like the way they look.. planning on getting them along with harness/hella bulbs with my next paycheck.

 

Can i get rid of this stupid thing or it serving a uselessness of structure for this old jeep ?

 

Its actually part of one of the floor panels IIRC. It holds up the rear seat, not sure if there's a structural function. Probably lol

 

First post here! Have a 1998 Grand Cherokee 4.0. Have successfully replaced 5/6 spark plugs, but I can't get the one in cylinder #1 right. Can work the ignition wire boot off the plug and replace the plug, but getting a good connection between the boot and the new plug is a real bear. There's just no access, even with a spark plug wire puller. Am getting a cylinder 1 misfire code. I know the connection is not good--the boot feels loose on that plug--different from the others. Any ideas?

 

have you tried bending the metal boot where contact is made to get a tighter hold? The ones on grandpa's tractors seem to stretch out and fit loosely after awhile. Just a thought.

 

So you think it's not snapping down all the way? If so, you can pry the metal plug open a very small bit, carefully, to make it easier to snap on. Or, remove whatever is in the way.

 

I really hate to try and jack the thread but I really need assistance pleas help me with my 89 Cherokee XJ because I am having really bad problems with my jeep in the mornings if I prime the motor a few times I can get power to the tranny and get some forward momentum for a while but after I go a certain distance (about .5 a mile) I lose all power like the tranny is in neutral it also happens all day. I already tried changing the fuel pump and the tranny pan gasket, filter and fluids with all new parts and it ran good for a while I drove it for about a week with no problems and now I can't even make it to town what could it be plz help!!!

 

Do your rpm's drop too? Like the jeep is completely dying?

If so I would say its the crankshaft position sensor(CPS).

 

If not, could be NSS.

 

Yesterday I was on my friends property doing donuts in the mud and when I put it in 4 wheel drive and would turn it would make a knocking noise but would only when I was turning. Does anyone know what it could be? Good or bad just want to know if I should look into anything

 

Sounds like it could be your U joints

 

See i don't have a back seat since it doesn't fit any more so im gunna take it out .

Get more flex...

 

Alright thanks. I'll have to look into it

 

Let us know if it suddenly sags in half. XD

 

i dont have a backseat either but i do have the back of the backseat?? is that right haha anyways its folded down to give me more floor space and i keep all my tools in there and that piece keeps em from going all over


Anywho...got the jeep started with a good whack on the solenoid then i was a ******* and cut it off at advance.....i tried it my uncle came and tried it we even stuck a flat head in it to try n get it going....i managed to fry it so bad it smoked (oops) BUT i got a new starter from someone at work for FREE! so yup thats gonna be fun tomorrow
